11:45 - 12:30 pm: Lunch at KFC Greenbelt 1

12:45 - 2:00 pm: Office office office

2:00pm onwards: non-stop sounds of ambulance/police car sirens. Istorbo sa trabaho. Checked abs-cbn news every 30 minutes. The first few versions mentioned LPG was the cause of the explosion. Number of casualties increased. News escalated. By Sunday, a bomb was said to have caused the explosion.

Glorietta that night:

Lights out. No gimikeras, no party people. Even though Glorietta was closed, SM Makati was open. Harhar. Amigas gimik was cancelled. Had to walk outside the wall on my way to MRT.

We all have our own "the-day-Glorietta-2-was-bombed" story. I'm glad I have my own story. And I'm alive to share it with you.

Depreciation

Sister: Ate, pwede bang pahiram ng bagong phone mo?
Me: (stares) Hmmmmm....
Sister: Pwede pa-picture?
Me: Sige. Ingat ha.
*Sister takes pictures.*
Sister: Pano mag-video? Pwede pa-txt? At anu-ano mga games dito?
Me: (slightly irritated) Wag mo masyado galawin. Mabilis magde-depreciate yan.
Sister: Ano yung depreciate?
Me: ...
Me:Uhmmm..
Me: ...
Me: May Snake 3 na jan.

=============================================
From Wikipedia:
Depreciation is a term used in accounting, economics and finance with reference to the fact that assets with finite lives lose value over time. (There is also a separate use in international finance to refer to a reduction in the exchange rate of a currency - see Depreciation (currency)).
In accounting, depreciation is a term used to describe any method of attributing the historical or purchase cost of an asset across its useful life, roughly corresponding to normal wear and tear.[1] It is of most use when dealing with assets of a short, fixed service life, and which lose value over that life.

Harharhar!

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human. And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

Tambay sa Office

Ang office kapag may tao:











Ang office kapag walang tao:














Bakit walang tao? Kasi, Sabado. Ang sarap kasi mag-work eh. =)

Bakit ako nagtatagalog ngayon? Wala. Mas safe, para hindi ma-correct yung grammar ko. Hehehehe. =)

6288

It's about time that I move forward to the colored-cellphone era.

Say hello to my new Nokia 6288 phone:

This is not my actual phone. But this is the model. Bought it yesterday. Gave my Nokia 1100 as birthday gift to my sister. She now has 2 Nokia 1100 phones. Hihihihi. Oo, phase-out na sabi sa mga department stores; pero wala akong gusto sa N-series at sobra sa budget ko yung Nokia E65.

Salamat sa mga tumulong sa akin maghanap ng stock ng model na to. Hehehehe! ;)

I'm still reading the manual. Lots of "relatively new" features to learn.

I'm googling the term for "fear of losing a cellphone" - ________phobia. Can't find any. If you do know what it is, please tell me.
