5 Days Before Christmas

Five days to go and it's Christmas, and though it may be the most wonderful time of the year, the commercialism of this season has left me to wonder if the true meaning of Christmas is truly understood by all, if  not then at least by most.

When I was a little kid, my parents always told me that Christmas was the time when the Son of God was born, that is of course our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As i was growing up, the thought that once a year we celebrate the birth, albeit not the actual birth, of Jesus always made me joyful.

Over the years though, we have been so influenced by Western culture that some of us have already forgotten what the true message of Christmas is all about. I once asked a friend's little sister if she knew who the star of Christmas is and she answered, "Di ba si Santa?" or "Isn't it Santa?". The young generation of today have been so exposed to commercialism and different marketing strategies of the Western countries, and it has come to a point where they have no idea what or who the true meaning of Christmas is (kaya nga may CHRIST sa Christmas diba?).

Back to Dancing

It's our company Christmas party this coming Saturday and much to my better dismay, I was tasked to join a dance number for our team. I hope I still have the moves (like jagger?) so I can pull this off. =(

Another (Boring) Day at the Office

I usually arrive here at around 8:30, way earlier than the other people in my department. They arrive at around 10 or something and now I'm stuck here trying to figure out what to do because I don't have any tasks. I'm just passing the time surfing through the web and browsing through some random stuff.

I Need A Camera

I've seen so many things worth capturing but I don't have any equipment to capture them with.

NOTE TO SELF: BUY A DECENT CAMERA!

That's How Bad Guys Do It

A little comedy to lighten the mood as I face another day in the office. 

A Passion for Fairy Tail

I've been reading a lot of manga since I was in High School, and I've watched a fair share of anime. From Death Note to Naruto, I've been avidly following the anime world.

One particular manga/anime has gotten me into a state of addiction ever since I started reading/watching it last year. It's a combination of action, adventure, comedy, drama and all sorts of different genres that add spice to its already unique setting. This manga/anime of course is Fairy Tail.

For almost one year I've been reading the manga and watching the anime of this insanely addictive series created by the author of Rave, Hiro Mashima.

The story itself is quite catchy, as well as the many characters in the story. Each character has a back story all his own which is uniquely connected and spun together to make up one of my most favorite mangas/animes by far.

Well, enough babbling about how great a story it is. In order for you guys to experience how great it is, you should try reading the manga or watching the anime for yourselves.

Dinner at KRI

Last night I ate a Valentine's Dinner at one of the newest restaurants here in Dumaguete. The place was named KRI (for more details, visit My Purple Spoon). I was with my girlfriend of course, and we just wanted to try out this new place everyone was buzzing about.

We were there at around 8 pm, but there were still a lot of guests eating so we were made to wait for about 15 minutes before having a table. Once we were settled in our seats, the first thing I noticed was that a lot of people were rather enjoying eating there. I looked around and found that the place was not that big, not more than 20 tables I guess, but it was rather neat and the colors inside were bright and the lighting was quite cool (not too bright, not too dark either). I had been expecting that the food would taste great, because of rather fine ambiance that the restaurant was emanating. 

We placed our orders for their Chicken of the Week special, expecting that the food would be served as quickly as possible, but like some of the other restaurants here in Dumaguete, it took quite a while for our food to be served. Upon tasting it, all I can say is that the wait was worth it. The food had so much flavors in it and it was quite a rush just tasting so many flavors after each mouthful. Though my girlfriend wasn't quite satisfied (she dislikes food with not so usual tastes), I'm sure she did quite enjoy herself, at least I'm hoping she did.

Here are some pictures of our escapade:

Too bad we weren't able to take pictures of the food. Sigh...

It's Been A While

It's been ages since I last posted on this blog, and I've been really missing blogging. Schoolwork and other stuff have been preventing me from being able to post, not to mention I've been having a hard time thinking of anything sensible to post.

Now that most of the schoolwork is done, I'm gonna try my best to update this blog every once in a while, so I can still practice my already diminished writing skills. 

Kudos to me!
