Dear Baby Cai, You're more than a month old now. Last Saturday, I, along with your Tita Ai, and your Titos Jug, Wiwi, Subang, Roger, Harold, and Fred became your godparent. To others, we may seem as mere young friends of your parents, their DotA, drinking, and poker buddies. But to me, and to them, I hope, we are now more than just friends. As your godparent, I am now part of who you are and who you become. You can trust that no matter how the tides turn, I will be there for you and your parents, Mayang and Cocoy. I may not always be your perfect role model, but I wish that you learn not just from my successes and triumphs, but my faults and mistakes, as well. Know that I will be there to guide you, to be your friend, to be with you as you make this treacherous journey through life. I may not always have gifts for you, but I will be there for you. Even before you were born, I have loved you and cared for you as an important child in my life. Be obedient, but not submissive. Follow your heart, but always…

Never Been This Un-Emo
Yes, yes, yes... life has been good lately. Despite the unexpected kinks, and several minor problems I am facing (or choosing to ignore) right now, I have never been this un-emo. This blog, as with most of my other personal blogs, started out of angst and thrived on my many whines, rants, and anger towards people and my life. But lookie... I am smiling right now. I don't have a family (not in the way many people have), and I don't even have a boyfriend. But am I am moving on with a great big smile on my face. As I have shown in my Nokia video (of FAIL coz it was so shaky people got dizzy every time they'd watch it), I have so many things going on in my life right now, that I do not have much time to be angry or sad anymore. Which is also prolly why I don't have much reason to blog here anymore. Life is still full of sorrow and pains and yes, HATRED! But what the hell, I got my work, I got my friends, I got my relatives, I have my life to live. So screw the haters and flamers…
Matt Taught Me to Post via Mobile
I'm here at the Manila Pavillion with THE MATT MULLENWEG. Also here are other WordCamp organizers: Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Winston, and Dave. Matt taught me how to post via mobile. Here it is. ;) Some tips and notes for mobile WordPress-ing: Go to http://m.wordpress.com Log in. The numbers you see beside your blog's name is your site's statistics. If you click on your blog's name on the list, you will be directed to the site interface that is NOT for mobile posting. To post via mobile, click on the post tab on top. You won't be able to attach photos. There are no shortcut buttons to HTML codes/formats. The tags field is actually a categories field. Entry posted using my N95 Photo inserted at a later time, tips and notes added at a later time.
Hectic Schedule is Hectic
Yes indeed. I haven't been blogging much because work, work, and boylets poker have made my life hectic and busy. First off, WordCamp is FAST APPROACHING! GRAWRRR! As logistics girl, I am in charge of the venue, physical arrangement, materials and supplies, kits, badges, food, booths, and many other things that I do not want to think off right now. Then, there's one wedding this September, one on October, three on December, and two on January. Wish me luck! (Plus, my batchmates are pressuring me to organize the batch reunion yet again.) I was also kinda helping out my cousin with his event. And this weekend is Kadayawan weekend, and several digital photographers and blogger from other parts of the country are coming over. On top of that, I have tons of blogging backlog: AutoRevolution and Drifting experience, Davao Food Trips, Museo Dabawenyo feature, N95 reviews, and tons of other stuff. The only thing keeping me insane these days are DotA which I rarely get to play, movies, and poker nights. Poker nights have been fun and relaxing in many different ways. Secret muna bakit. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So far, I haven't been losing money, and I have won a couple of…
Filipina Bloggers
I heard a certain non-blogger stereotyped girl bloggers are the nerdy types who do nothing but spend time in front of their monitors and keyboards. GRAWRRR!!! Let me tell you this... your statement smacks of ignorance and says more about you than Filipina bloggers in general. Maybe you haven't met these bloggers (or your are too dumb to even know what a blog is): Ate Aileen, Google Country Consultant who is into food, travel, and the paranormal Kringy, a talented television director, who is into Asian films, she also one hell of a hot funny girl who will probably crush your untalented ass into bits; Poyt, a special education teacher and a part-time photographer; her boobies will put your little raisins to shame Phoebe, a chef in-training who is also into fashion Kim, a vegetarian radio DJ, and film addict Gwing, shopping addict, badminton player, campus crush ng bayan, and mean girl who will make you sorry you ever said those things Mica, Belo Medical Group ambassadress Karla, a photographer, music enthusiast, and food lover Tita Jane, a yogini, Blue Eagles fan, and hot bogging mama And there's more where they came from, so shut your pie hole b*tch! You…
What I Did Last Night
While everybody else was up and about quite early today, anticipating the State of the Nation Address, I have been sleeping. I woke up at 3 pm and am now at a local cafe enjoying my double shot mocha with mint. Last night, after I arrived home after playing DotA, I felt the urge to check in at a hotel and stay there overnight. And so I did. I checked in at the Oroderm Beauty Hotel along Magallanes Street here in Davao City. I paid P1,200 for the night. It's a called "beauty hotel" because they have various spa services. The room was nice, but the bathroom was errr... not too nice. And the towel had some orange-y stains. I just spent the entire night watching TV, and not sleeping at all. Got tired at around 6 am and slept. Woke up at 9:30 am for my complimentary breakfast. Bah! It was a boring hotdog meal. The fried rice was interesting though... I think it had some soy sauce or liquid seasoning. Yum! I went back to sleep and woke up to check out right before 12 nn. I went home and slept some more. :D It was quite a…
