A worship video (2 Comments)
Before I blog about the videoke nights of me and Jan’s, let me show you what I got yesterday from an acquaintance who works in boss’ other office.
![Christmas Gift from Kent [2009-1222]](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4009/4206961961_8fbb88d534.jpg)
He said that the keychain with my name written on a rice grain broke, so this is something to make up for it. When he handed me the dvd, my eyes went wide. I went speechless. Then I just smiled. *lol* It’s the first time ever in my life that I have received something as this. I have received other religious items such as blessed candles or rosaries. This, on the other hand, is different. It’s not bad. It’s just so hardcore. \m/

Birthdays and Christmas gifts (1 Comment)
Jhan celebrated her birthday last Dec. 15. Although due to some circumstances, it was already Dec. 16 when we celebrated it. *lol* Phoebe and Nino were already at Shangri-La around dinner time. Mac and I arrived by 10PM. Jhan was nowhere to be seen as she was still in her workplace’s Christmas party.
Gutom na
Porche and Mike already arrived even before Jhan was done with the Christmas party.
Camwhoring as we waited for Jhan
We quickly left as soon as Jhan was done. We were already tired (I know I was since I have been up since 5:30-6AM that day) and hungry. Unfortunately, there was heavy traffic. Boo~ Everyone just had to go out that night. I was supposed to take a picture, but Phoebe got in the way of my photoblogging. Getting in the way of any sort of photography is a nooo~.
J/k!After what seemed like eternity, we got pass that and looked for ATM machines. Almost all were empty save for one. XP We got to mybar (is it really mybar or is that place named something else?). Jhan and I thought ‘deeply’ on what to order, then the waiter tells us they weren’t serving meals anymore that night. They could only prepare fishball, kikiam, and hotdogs! >_< We ended up with Burger King takeout.
Heavy-to-the-stomach burger ^_^
BK’s got a Whopper promo. If you buy a Whopper meal, you got a Whopper Jr. for free. Overkill! Instant weight-gain! *lol* Well, at least Jhan didn’t have to pay for expensive food to what seemed like single-serving meals. -_- The boys and Phoebe ate so fast, but Jhan and I caught up with them.
Happy and satisfied customers of Burger King XDDD *lol*
I only have very few pictures thus the limited photos. I haven’t gotten around to stealing the girls’ pictures. :DDD The night was fun in spite of the traffic, the hunger, and the semi-crappy band. ^_^ Oh, we also passed in front of the PBB house.
PBB house
Mac and Jhan wanted to go down, but I was already sitting comfortably in the car. I also don’t want to get caught getting pictures in front of that place. *lol* Ang dami pang tao kung tutuusin even if it was already 3AM. Heck, there was still slightly-heavy traffic along EDSA around that time. I got home 2 hours late than the time I told my Dad. I even brought home a tall BK cup with Cerveza Negra in it.
The rest of the week was busy. I was doing the same paperwork with the never-ending editing and revision. I want to hire a sniper to kill those #!%@^!%$@# and put an end to our misery. Ugh~ Especially the one who has a skin disease all over his head and arms. His legs are probably infected too. Eww~
Mac had his 23rd birthday last Dec. 19. I already gave him his birthday gift weeks earlier. Hehe~ He celebrated it at home with a simple dinner. We had pancit and lumpia. :9 YUM! I wanted to treat him out, but eating at home isn’t so bad. It’s actually fun, less tiring, and cheap. *lol* It’s too bad we don’t have pictures. ^_^V
I also did some online shopping for this Christmas. My friends will get their Christmas gifts late. ^_^V I can hardly wait for them to get it. I’m also getting myself a Christmas gift. A BAPE HOODIE! :DDD It won’t be the real thing though. I heard authentic BAPE hoodies cost as much as a brand new PC.
I got two Christmas gifts in advance _so far_ (yes, I’m wishing for more!). The first is from MJ. I was so surprised when she said she sent me something through snail mail and even more so when I got it. ^_^
I got a Christmas card, Bleach & PoT 2008
calendar cards, DVD, and a pouch. ♥
To MJ: I can’t thank you enough! I should send you something back, but it won’t be until the holiday season is over. Sorry!
The other gift I got is _dough_ from from my grandmother (my Dad’s mom actually). XDDD Thank you, Lowlaaaah~. Hehehehe~ My brother and I were so surprised at her gift that we were both speechless. *lol* I hope she had a hassle-free trip to Switzerland. Our two younger cousins should be excited with their gifts now. We gave them really cool DM shirts. ^_^
I finally have a Belle de Jour planner!
It’s so GIRLY! I can’t wait to write on it. Haha~ Now, what to do with the Starbucks planner I’m near to getting…

Christmas wish list (1 Comment)
December is in a few days! I guess it’s time for this sort of post. I hope I’m not too late. *lol* I also hope that at least one of my online buddies would grant one or some of my wishes. ^.^ Fufufu~ This is supposed to be only for LJ, but I slightly edited it for this blog.
step one: make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered…whatever you’re comfortable with) to your LJ/blog. the post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes.
the wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (“i’d love a ______ icon that’s just for me”) to medium (“i wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (“all i want for christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.”). the important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
if you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just your email address where santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ/blog or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.
step two: surf around your friends list (or friends’ friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list.
here’s the important part — if you see a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true. sometimes someone’s trash is another’s treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you won’t use — do it.
you need not spend money on these wishes unless you want to. the point isn’t to put people out, it’s to provide everyone a chance to be someone else’s holiday elf — to spread the joy. gifts can be made anonymously or not — it’s your call.
there are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. give, and you might receive. and you’ll have the joy of knowing you made someone’s holiday special.
Here’s my wish list! ^_^
1. VCD/DVD/PC-format copy of M Butterfly.
2. Christmas cards from those who live in other countries XDDD
3. Donations for a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo. ^.^
4. Ikuta Toma mood theme!!! :DDD
5. Blast translators (even for just 2 projects is alright)
6. Silver earrings XDDD
7. Liar Game in PC-format video
8. Poppy Z. Brite books (except Lost Souls)
9. Link-back to my blog (exchanging links is good for me ^_^ )
10. Tongue rings/Locks for tongue rings

Guitar picks & clinic blessing (Comments Off)
A little update on HyukTa.net — some of the old entries were imported, 2 MT plug-ins installed, visitor counter added, renamed some categories, & removed spam comments. I scheduled yesterday to update my MT configuration before I go on with the layout, downloads, and such. ^_^ I was thinking of moving to Wordpress, but I don’t have much time to study new tags and learn how to make templates for it. I was also thinking of updating my MT, but 3.0 Personal Ed. will only let you create 3 blogs. I don’t have $69 to pay for the license. I wish they’ll go back to being free. Wordpress will beat them if they don’t. XD
I met up with BJ last Sunday to “exchange” cd’s and he gave this to me:
Opened; guitar picks & quotes/phrases cards inside. I like the picks! n_n
The 6 guitar picks on top of the box cover.
Those quotes/phrases cards seem interesting. I have to find time to read them. ^_^
Thanks, BJ, for the nice gift!
My mom and her clinic partner (I forgot his name.^^;;;) had their clinic blessed last Saturday. I invited Roland, Jozen, and Burigs, but Roland was sick and Burigs left early due to her oral defense. With only Jozen (and Maru being at school), we still had a good time. We ate a lot, although it was prolly only me who did. *lol* We also had some Bailey’s. >D I wanted a “glassful” of it (is there such word?), but my dad went, “Hey, this is social drinking!” It was a nice blessing. The “throwing of coins” was hilarious! (Is there a right term for that?) The first lady just threw up in the air lots and lots of coins and most of them hit on a male visitor and some fell on the priest’s almost-bald head. *rofl* After all the coins were tossed/thrown around, some started to pick them up. They say they’re best to be kept because of luck or something. I was about to start picking up some when the lady who first threw the coins was asking if I knew the kid picking the coins quickly. I said no. Everybody did. Then I noticed it was a beggar-kid. He said we’re wasting money. ^^v I smiled and told him we’re not throwing away those money for the heck of it. I start picking up some coins and when I got closer to him, he stepped on my hand!!! XP I got annoyed, but he left right away. He prolly sensed something bad coming. Haha~ Luckily, he didn’t step on my dislocated thumb.
I had free pancit yesterday. >DDD One organization in school had a general assembly and they prepared lots of food. Kath and I got invited to eat there. Free food is delish, isn’t it? *lol*
