Western Union Suckage!

I went to Western Union this morning for two transactions. I was going to claim money from two different persons, from two different cities here in Mindanao. (Unfortunately, no, they are not my sugar daddies!) Both MTCN's were no matches. After nagging the guys to check their receipts, they told me their MTCNs were right. I also tried tracking the transactions online, but both money transfers were not on the system. One of the senders already went to the branch where he sent money and the girl there said the money was sent, and the MTCN is correct. GRAWRRR!

Happy Ria is Boring Blogger Ria

I have just concluded that I don't really blog a lot when I'm not all emo, angsty, and shit. I was boring today. I woke up late, went to the mall to do some G-Cash transactions. Globe Suckage ended at Day 2, thank God! Then to make myself feel better, I decided to treat myself to some salon services. I've been very busy with the wedding (that is not mine), and some speaking engagements (CHAR!) so I decided to have my first ever foot spa and it was relaxing. I also had a manicure and a pedicure. When the boyfriend sent me message, I was kinda bitchy, and all "I think I'd like to fight with you today." But he was in a good mood and didn't give me anything to blog about. He ignored my pettiness, then sent an SMS again in the evening telling me he's not angry at me. Ang bait naman! I came here at Basti's at around 4 pm, and started working. Just didn't feel like working in the office today, and well, it was not good for my diet. The bottomless iced tea is adding inches to my waist. AMF! So anyway, I know…

Challenge: Be Creative!

I must admit... judging a story-creation contest was daunting. The participants were wayyy younger than me, but I was intimidated. They had more guts, and creative juices than I do. LOL! So as a challenge to myself, and to whoever is interested... I am joining the TaleCraft Fantasy Valentine Contest. YEY! Booo.... I am sooo not going to win! TaleCraft is a card game invented by DavaoeƱa Ria Lu. It is composed of 68 playing cards. There are 3 kinds of cards: genre, character, keyword. Some keyword cards may contain a plotline. Each player will pick one genre card, two character cards, and 6 keyword/plotline cards, and within five minutes, craft and tell a story weaving the nine cards together. Cool huh? Also very scary! Anyway... I am joining the contest. I MIGHT post my entry, or not... It really depends on how content I am with myself. Right now, I really don't know how or where to start. Good luck to me and the rest of the participants!

Globe Suckage Day 2

Today is January 16, 2008, Day 2 of Globe Suckage!!! I can't send SMS, I can't load (I have a retailer SIM), I can't share load, I can't even check my effin' balance!!!! But I can receive spam messages and alerts from Globe and make calls. Globe YOU SUCK! YES YOU DO! Sun Cellular, you suck less because you have more cellsites now, that's according to the message you sent me early this morning. Smart, mahal kita! Thanks to your awesome Lahat Txt 35 load, I am able to text my Globe contacts. Dear Globe, Trust me... Mark my word... If this suckage does not stop soon, I will start a campaign to destroy you! AMFUT*! Love lots, Enraged Ria

I AM Part of People Power 2

I was only four years old during People Power 1 but I distinctly remember watching it on TV. I don't remember much of it though and I didn't understand what it meant. January 17, 2001, I slept through the impeachment proceedings as I was tired from school and from doing my homework. I was actually answering my Math 21 homework when I fell asleep. I set my alarm for 1 am thinking ABS-CBN would be replaying the impeachment proceedings. When I woke up, there was no replay. Rather, there was live footage of people starting to gather at EDSA. That same day, January 18, 2001, I went to school but didn't attend my afternoon classes. Together with three of my friends, we rode the bus that the student council provided and went to EDSA to join the crowd. We went home around 10 pm. January 19, 2001, I returned to EDSA with my cousin Tinky. We stayed there for a while but had to go to my cousin's condo sometime in the afternoon because she was tired. We walked from EDSA to Annapolis Street. In the evening, we went back with another cousin, Kuya David. We only stayed for a…

The History of RiaJose.com

Before RiaJose.com, there was Ria Interactive... It used to be http://riajose.cjb.net... I don't know what happened. I made this site under the mentorship of the great Kuya Andrew who taught me how to manipulate images using Adobe Photoshop and make websites using tadaaa... Macromedia Dreamweaver. LOL! I was in first year college then and very much bored with my life. It started as a website for me and my high school batchmates and evolved into a site about everything that caught my fancy. Notice the sections for entertainment, news, opinion, and advice which have now evolved into niche blogs. The website was last updated in May 2000. Then, while on leave of absence sometime very late 2002, I created RIA{lity} Bites... I made this using Microsoft Frontpage (I know... EW!) and Adobe Photoshop. LOL! It was last updated in November 2003. This then evolved into my very personal blog in LiveJournal. Kuya Andrew read it and made me my first niche blog. Shortly, after... I started more niche blogs and I now have 11 blogs.
