By chance, the people I introduce and matchmake works out even at least for a certain period of time.
Sa akin, hindi. Hay.
Inggit ako sa iyo. Hindi ko inakalang yung pagbiro ko sa iyo paved the way for someone to like you.
I hope things turn out well with both of you.

This Saturday has been utterly a lazy day. My joints ached from the Body Pump class last night. I decided to take a rest and savour the rare occasions I get to spend Saturdays at home.
Besides, I need to prepare for my upcoming vacation next week. With that, I have an assignment from work that needs to be done by Monday noon.
More responsibilities. That's good. At least I know that I'm still needed in the company.
We had our team outing over the weekend and I must say that it was quite enchanting.
We spent the whole day at Enchanted Kingdom at Santa Rosa, Laguna. You see, EK has been open for more than a decade, and how ironic that last Saturday was the first time I've set foot in the theme park.
It was of much a smaller scale compared to Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, Universal Studios and Disneyland. Yet, it was here in the Philippines, and I'm proud to say that it was a very pleasant experience.

The weather was insanely hot and it got worse as the day carried on. I'm so happy that Meng and Benneth joined me. First off, we rode the Bump cars. It was quite exhuasting and felt like a bad case of massage. We moved on to the mini-rollercoaster which was an excellent preparation to the more challenging rides.
Next was the Anchor's Away. I L O V E D I T! The thrill of having to swing back and forth at obscenely steep angles felt like you were going to be thrown off.
From there we had lunch and caught up on life's untold stories and all that usual bonding time.
A sudden twist of fate took place when the rain poured like there's no tomorrow. It was a welcome treat since the rain made the heat dissapate. WRONG! It only rained for 5 minutes and then the sun rose back with a vengeance.
So I asked Benz and Meng to join me ride the Space shuttle. Neither budged as they didn't feel up to it. Thus I rushed to the queue and eagerly anticipated my turn. Luckily, Don and his group in queue. I then started to reminisce the super scary rollercoasters I've ridden in Magic Mountain (X, Goliath, Viper, Revolution, Riddler's Revenge, Batman) I knew that Space Shuttle didn't compare, but it was homegrown.
Amazing enough, I found it enjoyable. Only Don and I held our arms up throughout the ride. Too bad as it was too short, but definitely FUN!
Afterwards, we rented the ATV and went around the course for 2 laps. I enjoyed it so much, thus I figured that we will do the same in Boracay!
From there, we took a bit of rest and went to the Ferris Wheel. I have to admit that I was scared as hell since the Ferris wheel moved at a slow pace whilst climbing to the highest point of the area. Once atop, the view was simply amazing. We got to chat a bit and talk about our plans.
We then decided that it was time to get wet. But before that, I took another ride at the Space Shuttle and this time with Les. We were both fond of it and wanted to go back. However, it was time to get wet. Thus we went to the Rio Grande Rapids. It was fun and very drenching.
Benz and I went to ride the Flying Fiesta whilst Meng went to the changing room to dry up.
Afterwards, Benz and I were waiting in limbo for Meng. It donned us that she could already be headed towards the live bands. Our guess was right. Thus we went to the concert grounds and ran into her.
It was good that the restroom we went to was hardly being used. Thus I had the chance to take my time in changing. I did a bit of whore washing. Good thing that I brought the right stuff with me. Next we were off to snack, unfortunately it was all gone. So we went back to the lockers and deposited our things again. We followed Meng to the concert area and she gave us our snacks.
The last attraction that we rode was the Grand Carousel. At my age, I can still say that riding the carousel makes me feel like a kid.
We left back for Manila and looking back on how the day went, I'd say it was one ENCHANTING DAY! :) Thanks to Benz and Meng. And I Still have enought tickets for the fab four to go back. :)

This kid is amazing. I'm seeing that Britain's Got Talent show actually filters people who are worth seeing on the telly.
Here's another clip I came across of a kid that sang his heart out to make things change.
Indeed people who bully others are doing it as an outlet for their personal insecurities. But not to veer from my main intentions, Andrew is definitely gifted with a wonderful voice.
After checking the video, make sure to wipe your eyes. :)
So I was chatting with Rachelle over YM about stuff and summer.
We segued to Susan Boyle. I was unaware of who she was, but then Rachelle said that she was from Britain's Got Talent and made such a wonderful impression to the judges and the audience.
So intrigued by the remarks, I looked her up in Dailymotion and came across her video. She was just stunning! By God! I was teary eyed and was getting goosebumps whilst listening to her.
Definitely she has talent and this show has paved the way for her to have a shot at her dreams.
Alas the Semana Santa has passed and we are now in the midst of the Glorious resurrection of the Good Lord.
Last week, things were getting a bit out of hand with the "case" becoming difficult to handle. Luckily, things turned out pretty well today. BUT! not without its effects. The complainant decided to include my client as part of her complaint. Well, I was assured by our HR Manager that we will prevail as we have in the past.
I'm looking forward to that so that everything will be closed in due time.

The past week was excruciatingly hot. The family has been using their ACUs like crazy. I'm pretty sure that our electricity bill would be very high. We had to use the ACU since Mat was at home and the kid was uneasy with the humidity. He was being irritable and iffy. However, it all became fine towards the evening as the sun whisked off the horizon and the warm summer breeze smothered the air.

A few more weeks and I'm off to the beach. I am eagerly anticipating this trip as I've yearned to see the shores of Boracay again. Some quality ME time and rest without having to worry about things (even for a short time). Now I'm a bit troubled as I need to get meself a new pair of sunglasses. Good luck in finding one that I like.
The weekends have been so hot that we've been using the ACU at home almost the whole day. I wasn't able to successfully complete my PT session last Saturday as my body felt the energy sucked out of my living daylights.
Exhausting as it may have been, I was still advised by my PT to do megacardio for 25 minutes. Being the obedient one, I followed what he said, and proceeded to the treadmill and jogged. Afterwhich, I also attended Body Jam for the full hour. I hope that it made up for the calories that I should've burned whilst under PT.

After seeing my mini-victory, Cher and I met up to watch the film "Knowing." It would've been a good film inspite of the plenitude of inconsistencies. However, they f*cked it up when they showed the ending where the alien spaceship landed to a new planet and left the kids to start anew.

It was a restful weekend as I didn't go out on Sunday and Monday. I had to listen to my body and decided to give a much needed rest.
