Kenny's Fresh Sandwiches

Cold chunky tuna. Good value for money. Whole wheat bread. You get a lot more with the price compared to Fruit Magic's grilled tuna sandwich.

Eat your heart out Paris!

Halloween good enough to eat!

Pasalubong from Singapore

A keychain (which really is cool!), a chocolate bar and a group ex sked booklet! lolz! Thanks Gioms!

My class

What I'm really ecstatic about is the fact I got my name in the board. :-)

Happy food

Good Burger. They have a lot of flavors. The standard is the Good Burger, with Better and Best (having two patties).


Krispy Kreme. Major turnoff is not the calories, but the price.

Setting the stage

A friend posted this:

Another dose of pure angst and filth towards MTV Pilipinas,GLOBE, etc

Beyonce, Babyface, Fall Out Boy...and this December..guess who.....Justin Ti mberlake and Usher.

MTV PILIPINAS, GLOBE, etc ARE responsible for bringing these artists to play live here in our country.

They ignored Megadeth.

And guess what? They are also ignoring Dream Theater.

BODYJAM 43

We’re backing Dance4Life again this year and BODYJAM™ 43 will focus our support for the global campaign to fight HIV/AIDS. DJ Benjamin Bates has laid down the beats for the 2007 campaign and we’ll use this track for our Warmup – it’s a super-simple combination featuring a jazzy Box Step.

The Isolations Track is gangster with a capital ‘G’. Add FLAVA with the Snap and get down with your bad-selves to You Know What It Is by T.I. feat. Wyclef, before you Wind It Up to Daddy Yankee in the Reggaeton Track.

Then get ready to break out your best John Travolta moves in the brand new Disco cardio block!

Classic Disco sounds from Chaka Khan get you in the mood for grooving, before breaking out the Boogaloo in everyone’s favorite karaoke tune No More Tears by Kym Mazelle and Jocelyn Brown. The Freemasons’ Nothing But A Heartache finishes off the set with a stomping Disco sound, in keeping with the groovalicious theme.

Recover to the super-cool b.u.d.d.y, before entering the New School House phase of the class which features some amazing tracks from Rihanna and a TV Rock remix of The Others. These tracks are gonna take the class on a dance revolution and by the end of this phase you’ll want to break out the Conga!

Prepare yourself for Popping – the all-new dance style in the final block. Popping is like grabbing and releasing all of the muscles in your upper body, and the Timbaland track really inspires you to get your pop on.

The class finishes with the classic funk sounds of Stevie Wonder – a Groove Down that will sign, seal and deliver BODYJAM™ 43.

Next Project: Beyoncé

Yes friends. The date: November 7, which coincidentally is my SIXTH year in the Bank. Hmm anniversary gift? And it's going to be again held in the Fort open grounds, just tapat lang of the office. :-)

Check out the craziest new dance moves to the latest, greatest tunes in BODYJAM 42. Jammers all over the world will love the simplified choreography while still retaining that amazing high that comes with the sensation of dance.

The warm up starts with a super simple Club feel to clear the dance floor and drop into the feel of Jam. The isolation track is the bangin' new Tambourine from Eve and, as always, it's designed to help you dance better later in the class. The song is massive so careful not to BREAKOUT from the start!

Hook into a hypnotic Cha Cha Cha rhythm with classic Latin steps we drill over and over for success. Then J-Lo kicks and your technique tightens to accentuate the Latin furore.

The Heel Lift to Rihanna's Umbrella could possibly be the coolest move we've ever done in BODYJAM - the moves sync with the beat harmoniously. Then we "Throw Away" the arms to the same accent in the music, like you're throwing party dust on the crowd!

Then throw your load round the back for a massive hip swing. Grrove Armada have outdone themselves with Get Down, the most feakin' amazing song of the year! There are two massive BREAKOUT opportunities here. Keep working with the house feel, leaning outside, light on your feet, weight on your toes. Then the Freemasons take us home (again!!) with an amazing breakout club feel to take your class through the essence of BODYJAM.

The BODYJAM education session introduces the "tip button". The button pops up on the DVD screen at inervals during the Masterclass and gives a detailed breakdown of that block of choreography.

"You can never can tell."

Excerpt from the Between Deadlines column in the Inquirer:

BETWEEN DEADLINES
Clueless in Congress, and the same alma mother

***

That famous email. If you have an email account, chances are you've gotten at least one copy of a hilarious short story stitched together from Filipino-English malapropisms, the one that begins: "We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother."

As it turns out, "A Love Story" (re-titled "The?!" in some emails, "You're barking at the wrong leg" in others) was written as a joke by GMA Network news reporters Tina Panganiban-Perez, Kara David, Ruth Cabal, Joseph Morong, Nelson Canlas and Aubrey Carampel. Gosh, you never can tell.

Some of the malapropisms, connect me if I am wrong, can be traced to a beauty queen, an actress-turned- politician, even a former President. But most of those included in what is possibly the year's most forwarded email were coined by these creative journalists while killing time in coverage or waiting for interviews. (Yes, it's true good to be true.)

Reporters on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) beat saw it start. Once, barred from entering the Palacio del Gobernador building to cover Lintang Bedol's first appearance before the commission after his arrest, they fumed when another reporter managed to sneak into the Comelec building. Under the searing midday sun, Panganiban-Perez quipped: "'Pag nakita natin siya sa taas, sabihin natin: 'Well, well, well, look do we have here...'"

It was enough to crack up the agitated group, and other malapropisms were exchanged the rest of the day. By evening, Perez texted her colleagues a partial list of "Worlds of Wisdom." A few days later came the first version (as conceptualized by David) of "A Love Story."

The group later uploaded a longer version of the story on to their personal websites and blogs. Then it began to circulate on the Internet, reaching Vancouver, Hong Kong and Bangkok, among many other cities -- without any attribution, however, to the authors or their websites. The nerd!

Issues over intellectual property rights notwithstanding, the group composed a sequel, titled "Sinetch si Jeff," and then a pressed release from "Genie-fer," the lovestruck girl in the first story, in a spirited defense of, well, her use of the English language.

"A Love Story" continues to gain in popularity. As for the authors, let's cut them some slacks. Perez said she and her friends want to make it known that they can speak good, grammatically correct English. "Worlds of Wisdom" is simply a diversion, albeit one that has become a rebounding success. N. Dizon

JEBS Taxi Ride:

Multiply

Yep its obvious I ain't blogging like I used to. I have been more busy posting pics at my Multiply site. That being said, you can always go visit the site and see what I've been up to lately. ehehehe

Some weird Japanese noodles:


A mole grew on my ring finger:


Iya's pasalubong from Singapore: Chocolate Merlions.

Thanks Iya!

And a collector must-have:

July 21 is HARRY POTTER DAY

With Ria after watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


Need I say more? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.

Back to Basics

Its inevitable that I would compare going to Mariah and Christina's concerts and I must say, Christina won me over! Same place, same monobloc chairs but the value I got from watching Christina's concert was way more than what I got from Mariah.

The concert started late, and damn! I too was late. Bills said it'd be at 7pm. It started 830, and still stupid me arrived 9pm! Grr! What was astonishing is that there were a lot of empty chairs at the back! I didnt mind too that the usheretted directed me to the wrong seat. I was at D37 but I sat down at D27! ehehehe.

If there was one regret, it would be that I didnt bring my camera!!! There were 2 people in front of me who were using their digicams! I thought kasi they won't be allowed in! Waahh!! So I had to make use of my phone which of course didnt compare to my digicam. Argh. I'd have to ask a friend of Colby to give me some pics he took of the concert.

I like the part when they were saying goodbyes and a drizzle happened along with confetti. The weather really cooperated with us. I was shouting, "Sige tuloy pa rin!" partly because I had an umbrella with me naman talaga.

There were freebies from the sponsors but I wasnt able to get much. Sayang yung Nokia pamaypay and balloons!

Twas a good thing too that the concert was near our office. I was able to eat pa nga dinner and rest at the pantry before going home!

Pls visit my Multiply site for pics and vids.

The Spot?

Most likely.

The Date and the Ticket

This Azuki cookie something from Starbucks doesn't taste good.

As a token for relieving her Saturday Jam classes, Patricia gave me this:


Thanks Patricia!

I just can't help myself!

Just last night at Nike Park:



And the newly opened Fullybooked:

Bonifacio Open Ground

When the CEO came

First of all, I was forced to place all my stuff underneath my workstation so that the area would be neat and presentable:

Heck even the trash bin had to be on the side!

Sleeves had to be pulled down:

For lunch we had to eat BigMacs and Eight O'Clock OJ:

Because the elevators were for the private use of the CEO and his guests and other VIPs.
