A Weekend in the Gangsta Town

Posted on September 13th, 2007 by admin, under Travel and Holidays.

Third week of August…. Bulacan, hometown of the “Queen of Gangsters”, which is Ate Cel by the way, is where Marvin (a colleague and friend) and I decided to celebrate our birthday for this year. We were both born on the same date and we thought that celebrating our birthdays together would save us some money. Everything went well and the over all experience was fun except for the bad weather. It was raining all weekend and our plan to go swimming didn’t push through so we ended up eating and playing video games all weekend. However, the bad weather isn’t enough to stop us from fishing. Here are some photos taken from our trip:

In the first photo, Grace is trying to eat catch before she even unhooks it while I held mine without any reaction. We also saw some fishermen called “mandadala” who were throwing their nets to catch some fish. You can see in the fourth picture how workaholic I am; still working on a vacation! Sunday was also the birthday of Ate Cel’s dad so that weekend was flooded with food.

My First Laptop

Posted on August 27th, 2007 by admin, under Steps to Success.

Today was an exciting day for me because I just both my first laptop. I got the new Acer Aspire 4710Z-2A1G08 for 39,990 PHP and bought a Windows XP Home for my operating system for 4,900 PHP for a total of 44,800 or around a thousand USD. The reason why I chose this model is that it meets half ways when it comes to specs, price and style. Also, I don’t want to use Windows Vista as my OS since I’ve heard a lot of bad things about it. Here are the detailed specifications of my new laptop:

I would like to thank my friends for accompanying me in buying my new laptop. Thanks to Ate Cel, Grace, Fe and of course, my girlfriend, Dulce. After buying my new laptop, we all enjoyed watching Rush Hour 3 and laughed our asses off!

EDIT: The Bluetooth  Device on this laptop will not work if your Operating System is not Windows Vista… Damn!!!

Da House

Posted on August 23rd, 2007 by admin, under Make Money Online, Blogging, Steps to Success.

This is where it will all begin…

After filing our resignation from our former company, three of my other colleagues and I decided to work together. We decided to set up our base in Pampanga where the cost of living and the features of the city meet halfway. Located inside a subdivision, the three bedroom house in the photo is where we will start our own online business. With a peaceful and friendly community, healthy lifestyle and a great location, this is the perfect house for us.
