I am sick. Yesterday, I already had a headache so I took one paracetamol. Lo and behold... I am allergic to paracetamol so big blotches formed on my eye lids and the area under my eyes. To make matters worse, it became hard to breathe. So I had to take both an antihistamine and an asthma medicine. GRRR... I just slept the entire day today. Woke up at around 4 pm and now I'm working na ulit. Already feeling better but not yet 100% well. I am already allergic to mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, and aspirin... ngayon naman... pati paracetamol. ANG SAYA-SAYA!!!

Another Reason to Advertise Online
According to Synovate's study (as cited by the Philippine Daily Inquirer), web advertising is more targeted than advertising through cell phones. According to the article, the research shows that: 1) "people go online for a reason" 2) 70% of internet users are willing to give out their email ads for promos 3) however, "mobile phones have lower barrier to promos and advertising than the Internet" 4) “research suggests that 20 to 29 is the best age bracket for Web advertising” So what are you waiting for??? If you product or services are targeted towards the 20 - 29 age group... advertise online, it's relatively cheaper, and apparently more effective. :D Related post: Why companies should advertise in blog
A Weird Conversation with my "Ex"
Last night my "ex" (*back story at the end of this post) read my "WANTED: Boyfriend" post, and the post regarding myself and what my potential bf could expect from me. He said one of my descriptions of myself is not accurate but he would not reveal which one. After a while, I concluded that he was pertaining to number 22. 22. I’m not an affectionate person. Wag mong asahan… Hmmm.... That led to a very weird conversation of what was and the what could have, should have, would have beens. He told me I was malambing towards him, and that I could have been a good gf. I blamed him for being too cowardly and he whole-heartedly conceded. HAHA! We agreed that it would have been catastrophic had we really gotten into a relationship as we were both pasaway. As far as we could remember we never fought about anything. We agreed on almost everything and that could have spelled disaster for the two of us. I guess it really worked out well for the two of us. He did leave me quite bruised and traumatized for a while, but we both learned a lot from each other. And…
I Miss Blue Skies Katipunan!
I was chatting with a Manila-based gamer last night. When I learned that he regularly plays at Blue Skies Katipunan, I suddenly felt sad. I miss that place. That's the place where I used to live. It was my home for a number of months before I came back here. All the bantays there already knew me and would give me the best units. The night guy there would give me unit number 1. Back in 2004, unit number was the only unit with a PLDT internet connection. All the other units were connected to Bayantel. It was the fastest unit. It was beside the counter/cashier's table. I would play hours of Warcraft: Frozen Throne ladder games there over Battle.net. Once I stayed there from 10 pm until 2 pm the next day. Huhu... I miss that place. If I go back to Manila for vacation, I will make it a point to visit that place.
WANTED: Boyfriend
Since my life and my blog is kinda boring once again... it's time to write about the non-existence of a significant other in my life. Earlier, a guy friend told me I should find a boyfriend to make my life more exciting. GANUN?! So ito yun eh... Kasi boring na life ko... no DotA Tournaments and other events in the horizon, no blogosphere intriga to be intrigued by, no energy to be emotionally involved in political issues, work is draining the fun out of me, and dieting is driving my vices away... I am now open to dating guys who are single (read: NOT MARRIED! NO CURRENT GF! NOT HUNG UP ON HIS EX!). They are not required to be uber-hot, but they must be interesting to talk to. He must be at least 18 years old, and not older than 30 years old. And he must be based in Davao City or willing to travel to Davao City to meet up with me. Of course, the guy... must be willing to date me rin ha. :P (Edited August 21, 2007, 10 am) The guy must not be the "jealous" or controlling type as I am the type of girl…
Drunk at 8 pm!
Not really drunk but was tipsy... HAHA! Still... It was fun, fun fun! After my bet, CORPOration lost to their rival Ch¡ll, the CORPO boys invited me to eat dinner outside the NCCC Mall. It was Saturday night, the Kadayawan Night, and there were numerous barbeque/inuman booths outside the mall. Jay, Chian, Duke, Badz, and Jeztah were with me. Jay asked me if I wanted to drink beer. And I did so I told him to go ahead and order beer and some pulutan. But when the Red Horse Grande arrived... it was just me and him doing the inuman and the others were eating dinner. So after a few shots... I have already feeling a bit dizzy and tipsy. Nohooo... very embarrassing! To make matters worse, the Ch¡ll boys, arrived to witness my embarassing moment. I didn't really do anything stupid but it was embarrassing to be intoxicated among wayyy younger guys. They were joking and continue to joke that I'm weak at inuman. And I am. HAHA! At around 10 pm, I was back to my normal self. Buti na lang... At around the same time, our event resumed with the awarding of prizes. After which, Jay, Badz,…
