Connecting People.

It's amazing how this tag line from Nokia has become a reality nowadays. Gone are the days when you can say I couldn't reach you because you were "out of the house." After a couple of weeks droning at work in the office and more work at home, my weekend turn out very eventful than I had expected.

Coming home on a Friday night after playing badminton with my officemates (as part of my 2005 resolutions), I would normally have taken a shower and gone to bed, but I decided to check my mails while waiting for FRIENDS on StarWorld. I never did get to check my mails because 2 of my friends' also online and we've begun chatting. It would normally have been the 3 of us goofing around but 1 on them has a dilemma with another friend from a group. It was about a girl. He's asking for our opinion on what's the best thing to do with a situation like that. The conversation was serious for about 2 minutes and it turned crazy, as always when where "talking" to one another. Too bad I had to work the next day or else.

Saturday, after work, I also "bumped" into a friend I haven't seen or spoke to for awhile. She left for the States in 1998, or was it 1999 and hasn't come home yet. Though we only spoke a short while, she was able to relay us the good news that she already gave birth to her 2nd boy a few weeks prior. We spoke for a few minutes more before telling me she has to sleep already.

I'm really thankful that it's easier to keep in touch with anyone nowadays. No matter where you are, you're never out of reach, except maybe when you're in hell. No phones there, I figure.

Ocean's 12.


They're back. They're all back! Finally, the long overdue Ocean's 12 advanced screening was shown a few nights ago the the Podium after BF disallowed it to be shown during the film festival. The tickets were given for free by a leading cable provider to some loyal subscribers. Luckilly for me, I was able to get one even though we're not very loyal.
The sequel is as good as the first one, technically. The scenes and dialogue were sharp and funny. I didn't enjoy this one as much but I did find it funnier than Ocean's 11, even if I managed to doze off for about 15 minutes midway through. Stupid me. I just have to catch it again one of these days, serves me right for not paying attention. Posted by Hello

WoW!

In 2004 you partied so hard... you forgot how to count.

Fun's Over!

Sigh. It's Monday already and for most of us, It's back to work and back to reality. I wish there were more time to goof around but, that's life. I' just have to suck it up.
I need to plan my week 'coz I left a lot of things in the air on the finals workday 'coz my mind is already on vacation mode even though i'm at work (hehehe). I have to list them all so that I won't start 2005 screwing things up. I do have something to look forward to though 'coz I'll be able to attend the Ocean's 12 preem in a couple of days.
Did some last minute shopping yesterday. I bought 5 shirts and a pair of pants. 4 of those shirts are are for work since some of my old ones have shrunk already. One nice thing is everything is still on sale. I wasn't able to buy the new pair of shoes that I planned, one for work and one for play. I'll just have to do it another time. I also have to get my own badminton racquet before my sister stops lending me hers.
I hope I get things on the right track, start on the right foot and be on the right path this year amd hopefully, things will turn out fine.

2005

I never thought I'll make it to 2005!

I always thought by this year, I already have kids, probably 2 already. Sigh. Anywho, all the firecrackers have ceased and it's all quiet now. I'm online so whoever's calling the house will get a busy line.

A shout-out to all of my friends, relatives, co-workers and acquaintances, you know who you are...

Happy New Year!
