Given Title January 2006 - Friday the 13th

Yesterday
We had our office Christmas party at Cravings in Fraser Building. I was among the group that arrived early in the place, including our guest - Ross, who is from the office's Sydney branch. With that, I had been seated next to him and talked the bloody stuff out of everything. Take note: "bloody". Haha. Nakaka-hawa ang accent ng mga Aussy lalo na if you're trying to understand what they are saying and in the same time, patching up the idea behind what they are talking about. =)

So ayun, basically ang topic ng daldalan namin e buhay niya tsaka comparison ng buhay-buhay dito at sa Australia. CFO namin siya. Chief Finance Officer ata ibig sabihin nun... di ko sure pero basta siya ang Panginoon ng Pera sa Sandstone. Hehe. Pero given that, based on what we talked about, basically pareho ang financial crisis na nararanasan ng mga pamilya dito at sa Sydney.

Anyway, here are the games that I participated in yesterday:

Malong Race (three groups of five that will race around a distant marker while paired with a groupmate inside a Malong) - we won!
Polo Passing (pass the Polo candy from a toothpick - which should be bitten - to a groupmate's until it reaches the end of the line) - we suck, big time!
Link Em (we were given straw-strings which we should use to link up ourselves by passing it from one end of our sleeves and goin out through the other) - we lose!

Wala akong ginawang kabulastugan sa party ha... pramis. Pormal na empleyado ako pag sa opisina! Peksman!

Defensive. Hehe.


A Day After Last Last Night's Yesterday
Justice League - Manila Christmas Party!!

Ang mga pumunta:
Obi
Dan and Aynz (with guest, Canadian Lou)
Wacha and the Gang (with guest, Aunt and Uncle America)
DD
Man and H ("Aytch")
Flashlings (kids ni Dan the Flash)
Hantik (yung malaking pulang langgam ng kids ni Dan)

Ok, nag umpisa ang lahat sa putol na fanbelt. Buti na lang malapit na kami kila Dan kaya naigapang muna papunta sa kanila yung Justice Mobile. After makabit yung bagong fanbelt, we had our lunch first then set off again to Sta Rosa.

Eto list ng mga rides na sinakyan ko, in order:

Dodgem (nothing but an old school bump car ride... masama na tingin samin ni DD nung facilitator kasi ginawa naming jousting match yung bump car.... kuha kami ng bwelo sa malayo tas banggaan kami head on. yahooow!!! kaya nga bump car eh!!)
Roller Scater (baby roller coaster para sa mga kids ni Dan... magkatabi kami ni DD. Hindi pa tumatakbo yung coaster, sumisigaw na kami. nyahahaha)
Anchors Away (Astig, as always. Enough said.)
Rialto (now this one's disappointing. i've been to Enchanted Kingdom <"E.K." sa mga konyo... "peryahang magara" sa mga jologs...> for a couple of times now and I was always looking forward for a Rialto experience BUT for the Nth time, it has always been the Alpha One Cowboy simulation that was featured. Kasawa! Di ko mahuli-huli yung ibang palabas. I was screaming like hell here because of... uhmm... wala lang... trip lang. Para masaya. hehe.)
Kart Trak (karting!!! tis rockz man! si DD may experience sa karting kasi finalist sa Marlboro Red Racing School yun e... but for a noobie like me, it was always a total thrill. First try kami lang dalwa ni DD sa JL ang nag-try... naghiwahiwalay kasi kami nun. After DD overtaking me like 3 times, my arms were already throbing in pain. Pawis-steering technology... hanep. Anyway, when Dan knew about this, we hit the pavement again for the second time. Grabe, para akong burger patty na pinompyang sa kawali pagkatapos. Pero sulit talaga. Respect for the Speed Freaks!)

Other stuffs:
- fireworks display: as always, breath-taking pa din. i've always been fond watching such displays anyway since i was a kid.
- Space Shuttle: ayun. i've already tried this ride for three times in the past... and the last time I rode I promised NOT to try that again. so hindi ako sumama sa kanila. Yes, me and Dan did our chicken dance on the sidelines while watching them scream hell on the loops. May palusot lang si Dan... "ayaw ng mga kids sumakay." Wushu! T%&* mo! Nyahaha.
- we tried the basketball shooting gallery and i walked away with 60pts... better than what I averagely score with the same game in Time Zone - G4. =)
- I saw cute Koreans... waaah, Koreans... lotsa pretty Koreans! Kaso ambabata... waaah, bakit pa pinauso ang electric chair! There's also Beth Tamayo... ang cute grabe.
- we would like to try the Rapids and that Log ride but most of us shied away from the idea of being drenched in water on a cold night. Man and H tried those rides though and ended up buying souvenir shirts. =)
- Aynz and Lou had henna tattoos, and Lou just always kept on messing with Ayn's, unmindfully! I think they've had her tattoo retouched for three times.

Pictures will follow! Oist upload mo na Wacha!!


The "Yesterday" of Yesterday's Yesterday
I went to the Pit Shop in Sta Mesa for the finals of the Gladiator Cup 2005 for my hobby, Warhammer 40,000.

I also bought two miniature tanks and several infantry figures to reinforce my army. Pamasko ko na din sa sarili ko.

After that, I went out with some of the guys for a couple of beer-talkin somewhere in E.Rod Ave. before eventually heading to the Shak to hang out and check my new acquisitions. The gunbang guys were there, preparing for their impending Sunday airsoft wargaming. I might join em by early next year and I need to prepare my battle gears soon. I need a face mask and I want a cooL-looking army camouflage to match that. For the gun, I think they are willing to lend one for me first, but I eventually wanted to have my own M-14.
