University of Sto. Tomas

Three down. One more to go. Good job Tony and Tetet!

She's done with college and all but when at home, it feels like none of us have aged. We still talk like I'm in high school and they're in primary school.

The ceremony was long, like any other graduation ceremonies I've been to! It was nice that they had the event in their own school but the seats were uncomfortable for guests like me. It wasn't as solemn as they wanted it to be because the whole place was well lighted. Anyway, Jewel's graduation was pretty special because:
1. My dad attended
2. My brother attended
3. She was given an award and our folks had to go to the stage with her to receive it
4. We finally met the boyfriend!

We were supposed to have dinner at Viking's but we were late for our reservation (even if you call them that you'll be late, they'll only hold your reservation until 7:15 PM) and there were 65 people waiting to be seated so we decided to look for another place to dine.

We ended up in TGIFriday's.
Everybody went home with full tummy's!

Here's me by the way if you're interested.

And our awesome Dad, Toona!

More like good for two. Or one if you’re of the same breed and race as my brother. Alright, it’s good enough for three if all of you eat like fowls. 

Set A meal from Chowking: one main dish of your choice (we had the Chinese style fried chicken and it was delish!), pancit canton, rice, butchi and chicharap, and drinks for three (we opted for two black gulamans)

Aj and I had to go to a SMART business center yet again to have our Internet connection fixed. Great thing SM Tunasan’s SMART branch wasn’t filled but we spent a good thirty minutes or so waiting for our turn. We found out that we were given the wrong codes we needed should there be a need to call their hotline. It’s been a week and I sure as hell hope that we get our connection back by tomorrow.

This weeks's been pretty busy with demos for clients or prospects. They're not exactly simple and easy but they don't really require a lot, at least from me. We don't have a "demo team" but Joe, TL Carla, and I (together with Ms. Ube and Sir Ryan for support and Sir Berwin) make a pretty nice team. We plan our scripts and do a lot of dry-runs but we haven't really gone into the nitty gritty of doing demos but somehow we've come up with a system that, so far, has been working for us.

It's not Bring Your Own Bayong/Bag. It's Build Your Own Burger! That's exactly what we did! Another successful food fest meeting at the cafeteria A-Plus people!

Patties, cake, lettuce and onions, tomatoes, CHIPS!, buns, condiments, soda, and lots of <3

It's never a birthday without candles on a cake.

My burger!

Julian and I spent the day in ATC, figured we could both enjoy some time away from Doraemon and Cityville even just for a little while.

Center island from along the Northgate to Westgate. Pretty pink flowers! I never noticed them until today.

I've no idea what the event was but there were lots of stalls and really tall men! And a pirate!

Mini cupcakes from Crukitchen at ATC. 120 pesos for a box of nine.

Our new laptop table from my Dad. Awesomeness!

Narra wood. Specs? Haven't asked him yet.

Some wedding stuff...

My mom calls us vampires or aswangs (monsters, creatures of the night) because of our habit of staying up so late watching DVDs. Aj and I arrive home at around 10:30 PM, five to ten minutes to change and fix the table for dinner, then another 30 to 45 minutes for dinner (maybe 45 minute to an hour for me), so we're done before 12 midnight.

We used to  spend hours watching series, movies, or cartoons every night. But because of a couple of things, we don't watch that much like we used to. Why?

1. We've ran out of series to watch (still waiting for new episodes of HIMYM, The Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead, CSI, Hawaii 5-0, Grey's, Modern Family, Supernatural, Justified, Ben 10, Doraemon, Mr. Bean, TMNT, JL, The Spectacular Spiderman, X-Men, etc.).

2. Our internet connection's great now, too! So instead of watching DVDs, Aj and I take turns playing online! He plays PB (Point Blank) and I play, well, Cityville!

3. Our suking tindahan of DVDs takes longer time to produce clear DVD copies these days (yep, pirated DVDs!)

So last weekend, Aj was still playing and I don't have anything else to do so I searched our DVD box for something to watch while waiting for my turn. Good thing I did! I watched "The Three Musketeers" and "Hugo". I would have never watched these two if I wasn't too bored. I've seen many remakes of the first one and the trailer of "Hugo" didn't appeal to me that much.

I was clapping my hands from start to finish of (well, sort of) "The Three Musketeers" and I freaking cried with "Hugo". Is there something wrong with me?! There probably is. I still loved both movies.

Just when I thought I'd never be late for work again, Coco Martin decides to have a shooting in Alabang. Great.

The other side of that footbridge was filled with people, too!

Alabang is not a place you'd like to be at anytime of the day, especially at noon. It's unbelievably hot all year long, it's full of cars (private and public), full of people, full of everything!

They were shooting right in the middle of the road while people filled the streets. Yep, I was sitting at the front passenger seat of the Jeepney.

I forgot to take a photo of MTMBs (local traffic aides). Traffic is sure at its worst if you see three or more of them on the road.

The worst part of it all, I didn't even see Coco Martin in flesh while my colleague (Tiny Bebels) got a photo (and she wasn't late!).

Feb was quite a good month for me. Nothing very unfortunate.

The best valentine's day so far, I bought a nice necklace online (which I now use as my ID lace), I started using Mary Kay products, a hundred bucks from Aj, and our free juice!

Well, I didn't bag the perfect attendance. I was late for one minute on the 28th because I decided to drop by BDO and deposit money for my dear cousin. I miscalculated the time and left the bank late. I ran from Honda Alabang, all the way to the office; it took me 6 minutes and 24 seconds. I almost cried that day but I was too exhausted.

That's how much I covered on the 28th. I could have taken a ride on the Jeepney and probably saved more time but I didn't think of that at that time. Stupid.

Two months caffeine, soda, and tea free! I'm not enjoying it by the way.

I don't think I've lost any more weight but I don't think I've gained any either. Not bad especially now that I'm fond of Mini-stop and 7-11 food again.

I was also able to spend some time at the salon; got my nails and hair done.

I still haven't bought stickers, a phone case, and screen protector. My via tumbler is still broken and I'm still lagging on a lot of posts! Wow and I thought I was productive for February!

Anyway, March is looking nice! Julian and Jewel's graduating this month. Plus, we have lots of celebrants in the office.

So definitely not a perfect attendance again for this month 'cause I'll be filing for two leaves. I'll be busy preparing for the two graduations and for the birthday celebration at work (my group's assigned to take care of the event and we haven't decided on anything yet!).

My goals for this month are pretty low and unimportant actually:
1. No lates.
2. Visit the salon twice.
3. Top QA scores.
4. Save at least 3k.
5. Watch 10 movies.
6. No caffeine (decaf coffee is okay!), tea, or soda.

How was your February?
