07/07/07

I was on my way home when I saw this wedding sign on the road. It's not who's going to get married that caught my eye, but the date. I was reminded that today is a special day. They say that today is/should be the luckiest day in the calendar! ;) 777. Get it? So I thought this will be a good day to update my blog(s), which is/are gathering dust as we speak.

So let's pretend you're reading this and you're really interested to know what happened during the past year (if you noticed, I last updated my blog about a year ago!). I don't have a great memory so I'll probably just gloss over some things and post what I remember LOL.

October 26, 2006 - This was the day that I became an uncle. My brother and his wife had a baby girl and decided to name her Jacobe Mae. My niece is also my first goddaughter/godchild. :) Yes, she's cute!!!

I think that's the only significant date during the past year. LOL. But that's not the only interesting/happy thing that happened. There was the yearly get-together with my good friend in Canada, Jeff, who always come home during the Christmas holidays. There's also the few movie-watching adventures with Emma, Paul and/or Roderick. We usually just watch major Hollywood movies like Spider-man or Transformers. I'm actually kind of sad that now that we all have our own jobs it's much tougher to find a common time when all of us can watch a movie together. :-( But I love watching movies so I usually just watch new/old movies at home.

About TV shows, I discovered (albeit a bit late) a new favorite: LOST. If you're fans of theories and speculations, you'll love this show. On the Reality TV genre, I'm still a fan of the Amazing Race, I'm slowly getting uninterested with Survivor, I still rather watch Big Brother US than Pinoy Big Brother.

My job is STILL the same, but hopefully it will change soon. I don't want to jinx it so I won't mention what it's all about.

I'm still playing online games but I'd like to think I'm successfully cutting down on it. With new hobbies like watching movies and the upcoming Harry Potter book (the last in the series), I think I'd be free of ORGs by the time September comes and Survivor: China starts.

Books! I'm looking forward to getting the last Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). I really need to get the latest books from Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson. The past year I read books that my brother got from one of his co-workers, who left the books because he's going to another country. Sadly, only a few of them were of my taste. So I'm really craving for Deaver and Patterson books.

I think that's it. Maybe I should try to blog on the movies I watch, or maybe TV shows as well. I don't know, sometimes I get bored just thinking about updating this blog. If only I have a high-end mobile phone which will let me update this whenever I'm traveling home, then you'd probably see this blog get filled quick.

Anyway, that's all for now. What? You're still here?? Imagine that. Here's a brownie.

My First HDTV: TCL LED32P11

Last weekend I finally gave in to temptation and got myself an LED TV. It's the TCL LED32P11, a 32" LED TV. If you don't know much about electronics, TCL produces cheap electronics compared to branded ones like Samsung, Sony, etc. It doesn't mean the quality is bad though. Our two "normal" TVs are TCL, and one is about 5 years old and still working, so my family trust them a bit. And since it is my first HDTV, it would seem wiser to buy something that is not that expensive, so that if I am disappointed it wouldn't hurt much. One of the main features I liked about the TCL LED TV is that it can read movies/videos off of my USB. It recognizes a lot of format, including MKV files. No need to buy another media player just to play those kind of files. Another factor I considered was that it has an HDMI port (2 actually) which I can use to connect my laptop to. Right now I don't have an HDMI cable yet and haven't really tried if it will work, but I am

May 2021

6+ months since my last update and we're still in the middle of a pandemic! What have I been doing the past 6 months? Work - I started last November 2nd, so I'm 6+ months in my job. So far, so good. When I joined the company I think it was in the process of expanding already, but I don't think my boss is stopping anytime soon. Which is good for us employees (unless I get fired, then that's not good for me). Pretty inspiring too, since the company was able to expand even during a pandemic, when millions have lost their jobs. Cryptocurrency - I don't even want to say how much I'm risking. It's funny/sad because I was totally against it 7+ years ago, but look where I am now. Oh if only I understood its potential back then. (Or.. if only I drank the cool aid earlier lol) Books - I'm still a fledgling Bookstagrammer (i.e. Instagrammer that focuses on books). I've been doing it for 2+ years but I'm not that consistent. I mean, I am consistent when it c

The Past 7 Years

  I don't want to let this blog just die so I'll just post an update on stuff. We no longer live at my parents house. They failed to pay for the mortgage so we got kicked out. We moved to my own house around late September 2014. It was a good thing that my mom pushed me to buy (mortgage?) my own house more than 10 years ago, or we would have nowhere to go. I've been buying lots of books since, and my to-read pile is now more than 500. I just need the time to read them all. TV shows and Netflix are taking a lot of my free time away from books, unfortunately. The list of countries I have visited has now expanded to include those that require pre-approved visas: Australia and Japan. I have been to Australia twice, and thrice to Japan. I resigned from my previous work in January 2020. I was there for 10 years, longer than when I was in my job before that, where I lasted for 6 years. I think having the ability to travel made me able to stay at my previous job. We
