Station 168 Internet unveiled its landmark in SM Baguio last July 7, 2006. As part of its sister company Sabiclub.com Corporation, we were given different tasks for the opening day. We all went to Baguio last July 6-9, 2006. Woohoo! Vacation galore! Too bad it was raining all day so we can’t do outdoors much. But we surely did enjoy staying in Baguio! Brrr, it’s cold in here!

My family and I will be going to Puerto Galera on April 30 - May 1. I already paid the downpayment of our room accomodation through bank deposit. The rest will be shouldered by my mom. Hehe.

Honestly, I am very much excited with this summer getaway for two reasons. First, it will be exactly a year ago when Rodney and I went to PG. It’s gonna be our 1st Anniversary this May 1, 2006. Sad though that we will be miles apart on that day.

The second one is about my mother. She is a certified game addict of Level Up’s ROSE Online. Yes, no joke. During weeknights and weekends, it’s a miracle not to see her infront of the computer playing this MMORPG. Thus, she can’t spend time anymore with us. But to my surprise, she’s the one who brought up the idea of having a short vacation. Now’s the perfect time to bond the family together again.

4th Saturday of August. Nice, no half-day work. Rodney and I went to Fitness First ABS-CBN and attended the Body Combat class. Then after, he suggested to have our lunch at Cafea near the TV station. This is one of his all-time favorite resto in the metro.

But along the way walking at the side of ELJ building, we spotted a colorful residence. It was Pinoy Big Brother house! Oh my! This is it! I grabbed my phone and took a picture! So now we know how superb it is. Then we had our lunch. I ordered classic pesto, iced tea, and cookies ‘n’ cream delight — a very tall glass containing iced coffee, ice cream, whip cream, oreo, and stick-0. I intentionally let my Motorola E398 stand before it to see how tall it really was.

We called it a day and went home. It’s nice to have a sudden glimpse before Big Brother’s doors.

I guess you all heard about Pinoy Big Brother. And yes, I tried to get in but unfortunately I didn’t make it. I can still remember the exact date. It was June 24, 2005.

Before going to the audition venue, Rodney and I went to Fitness First ABS-CBN to take a shower and groom ourselves. It was held at the ASAP studio. It was kinda small, though looks bigger on screen.

In group of 10’s, Director Laurenti Dyogi asked us to introduce ourselves one by one. But alas, after we’re done with our blahs, we heard him say “Thank you guys.” Sigh. That was the feeling of how being rejected. Anyway, Rodney and I moved on and went home.

And now, we already knew the 12 lucky people who are chosen to be the housemates. If I only did a good job, I should be one of them. Anyway, among these 12 housemates, I really like these two to win:

Uma - A half-Israeli half-Filipino boy next door type. My gaydar feels that he is a queer. Considering that he wore a purple shirt with gay color stripes in his photoshoot, plus, he wore a sweat band while chitchatting with the other housemates. Do you still think he’s straight? Hehe!

Rico - The hunkiest, hottiest, sexiest housemate. I love his body. Haha!

While working out at Fitness First Eastwood, Rodney and I saw an advertisement regarding this marathon hosted by UP Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (UP JPIA) for the benefit of its Long Term Education Assistance Program (LEAP). As expected, Rodney was so eager to join. Not for the reason that he wanted to help the school organization, but to get a free souvenir sando! Haha! Anyway, we signed up and paid P150 each. The race was scheduled on a Sunday.

Sunday came. We arrived at UP Diliman Campus at around 4:30AM. The sky was still dark though. We got our numbers and deposited our bags. The race started at around 6:00AM. Since I’m not used to do marathon races, running, jogging, and walking the 6KM race was incredibly tiring, I swear.

At last, we got to the finish line. Whew! I don’t care anymore if what place I landed in the race. For sure, it was on hundreds already. Then we claimed our souvenir sandos! Finally! Haha!

After this “Oblation Run”-like marathon, we went straight to Fitness First Ortigas to take a shower. Lastly, we had our lunch at the Megamall Foodcourt.
