pager.. beeper... vibrate mode! hahahaha

My sister was looking for my college class cards in my old study table to look at my grades since I was boasting that I have better grades than her during my first year in college... when she stumbled upon this chunky but cutie piece of old technology. She knew that it was a pager because she saw the same contraption from Grey's Anatomy. She however does not know how it works.

We tried to put a triple A battery on my old pager... Voila.. it still works! hahahaha... with the yellow backlight on.. the tones working... it have the "Under the Sea" melody! Alarms working. It was too bad the messages were not saved.. well it has been near a decade since the last time I used it! I told her how the messages comes out... how it scrolls ... and that she can control how fast the scrolling will be. My mom told her on how she will message me by calling the number.. and an operator will answer and type in the message to my pager number! Hahahaha... Classic!!!!

Gosh... technology do upgrade sooo fast! I had my pager during my 2nd year in college... Got a SMS abled phone by 4th year... Load was sooo expensive then but text messages were free but who to text back then? hehehehe Hayyy

my old old old pager.. scratches all over it and still has the YFC sticker!

Infopage was my provider... 127.127.127... pager number please.. hahahaha

the w@w primer.. still having the wedding preps bug

I do not usually wake up early anymore... I sleep almost all day until 4 or 5 pm but today is different. On my way to the washroom at around noon today, I noticed a bright pink package pouch... Hmmmm.... On my way back to our room, I checked it out and it had my name on it... Liberty Palomo-Quiambao... I really love it when someone uses my hyphenated name. I have a feeling what is inside, since I have been reading about it in the weddingsatwork.com egroups...

My gut feeling did not disappoint me. Inside is a copy of the 2010 W@w Wedding Primer! Hehehehe.. My 2009 copy is really really trashy.. since I read it over and over again during our wedding preps.

Yebah... I just love how some people address my preferred surname!

Nice envelope with the bride & groom logo of w@w

Sweet sweet sweet....

Upon reading this one... I immediately opened the primer and browsed every page looking for our names!

Yebah.. page 66... this quote is in memory of something I wrote on my friendster blog before.. imagine friendster blog.. hahahaha

Many many thanks to Ms. Benz and Sir John for creating w@w and for the primer. It is definitely an honor to have my name printed on something special.... I guess w@w will always be part of me.

Celebrating 6 months!

10.17.2010 --- We were never the mushy couple who would celebrate our monthsary during our earlier years as a couple. Well, Xtian was never mushy and I guess he will never be. However, just to make a change, we decided to celebrate our 6th month as hubby and wifey!

To start of the day, I got myself a new pair of eyeglasses from SM Centerpoint and waited for less than a hour to get it... voila new glasses! clear and shiny! After that, we were off to Pope Pius XII Catholic Center.... the place where our history began. We attended the noon mass. We just love hearing mass there since it is really quiet and solemn. It is not jam packed with people and there is airconditioning. If only it is more accessible to public transport, I guess we will opt to hear mass at the church every Sunday.

After the church, we went straight to Pearl Garden Hotel.... hehehee.. yes we went back to our reception venue. Spent the night and just drink... cuddle and had a good night sleep. We just reminisce the wedding day and how fast time flies. Sooner than we know it, we were talking about what to do for our anniversary... hahahaha!!!

The sisters preparing the church.. i guess there is a wedding at 2PM. They allow Sunday weddings!

A shot for prosperity's sake! Nice glasses right?

Crazy crazy Forever 21 sale!

Last 16 October 2010, me, my mom and Andie headed off to SM Megamall to check out the Forever 21 sale. We were supposed to meet up with Sharleen but some changes happened so she was left out.

We arrived at SM Megamall around 11AM. We went straight to Forever 21. My sister kept on saying that she needs to go to St. Francis Square afterward to get some clothes for herself. When we got to the shop... OMG! There are people around... Ladies, women, young girls... grabbing clothes, going through the racks... it was crazy. I have been to 3-day sales and I expected it to be full of people but I haven't seen anything like it. It was chaotic! People were already fitting the clothes right there and then since the line for the fitting rooms was crazy!

We spent a good two hours I guess inside the store. I got myself a new pair of jeans. My mom got herself two pair of pants. My sister.. Hmm... I don't know how many stuff she got. We got my sisterette a really nice romper... a couple of spandex shirts. The sale is worth it if you will be buying sooooooo many stuff since it was 10% off on all regularly priced items but if you went there to buy just an item or two... forget it! I think I save a near 1000 pesos on all the things I got. Not bad!

This is the crazy crazy line for the cashier! Can you see the end of it?

Ahem.. ahem... mama.. enough with the picking.... overbudget already!

see how the line of heads turns... that is almost the end of the line!

----- Honor and excellence ---

This is a long overdue blog entry. I am always at awe with professors and instructors from UP.. either their from Diliman, Los Banos, Mindanao, Visayas, Baguio, or anywhere. I have deep respect with them since teaching is so hard plus the low pay. Last October 5, 2010, Prof. Winnie Monsod conducted her last lecture for her economics class. I did not have any econ subjects back in UP but Prof. Winnie is a famous professor of the university because of her appearances on television. I can only remember entering one of classes during my campaign for the University Student Council position way way way back in 2000.

Her lecture is more on the pride of being a UP student... of being a UP Diliman student. She mentioned about being the cream of crop amongst the thousands who took the UPCAT and of course, she stressed on the importance of giving back to society. I actually cried while watching the video. Prof. Monsod's words hit me hard. I am a passionate student leader and I can say a true Maroon blooded student in my college days. I don't know where that person is now. I guess when you grow older, you somewhat lose the zeal and the open eye to society's needs. Instead the zeal is overshadowed by responsibilities to oneself and to one's family. It might be a selfish thing to think about but some chose to survive and flourish to one's benefits. I am guilty! I originally wanted to teach and give back to the university that I loved but I guess the need to earn more chickened me out! I know my time will come to pay back the taxpayers the paid for my tuition.

As for now, I am just happy that I got married before Prof. Monsod's passing. She will not be pulling my leg during my honeymoon! Hehehehe!!!

Honor and Excellence (Prof. Monsod's last lecture to her class)

Facebook.. FB... Falaging Bago

One of the reasons why most people connect to the internet nowadays is because of Facebook... simply coined as FB. Filipinos for one are suckers for social networking sites... the former sites were Friendster, MySpace, Multiply..hmmm the list goes on....

But let's focus on FB... for a number of months recently the Admin of Facebook keeps on changing the look of the site also the features. There was the issue of the new look of the layout that many people reacted to. They also added security features for stalkers to be kept at bay.. as if I have stalkers! hahahaha... However, one feature caught my eye today after Michelle aka Mike, posted on her shoutout about it.

Here it is!
For new friend requests, they change the selection "Ignore" with "Not Now." I was puzzled why. Well in the first place, "Ignore" is a harsh word. It has a negative connotation unlike "Not Now." "Not Now" gives one an option to put the request on hold while "Ignore" totally shuts the request out! Hahahaha... Maybe they changed it because I might be able to realized that I want to add the person in the near future!

One way or the other, FB is just like other social networking sites.. trying their best to provide the best to cater to the likes of everyone. They will never know when they will suffer the fate that Friendster had a few years back! hehehehe

septemBER... BEr ber ber months

September 1 marks the start of the Christmas season for Filipinos. BER months start the colder nights and early mornings! It is also the start of the countdown to Christmas day! You can already hear the non-stop playing of Christmas songs on the radio and people singing or humming Christmas carols! It may sound weird but that is how Filipinos are.

I am very much looking forward to this Christmas since it will be our first Christmas as husband and wife. We celebrated the season of giving like a married couple before. We schedule where we need to be on Christmas eve, Christmas day, New Year's Eve and New Year's day. I guess we will be doing it the same for this year. My and my sister are already planning something for New Year's Eve and I am really excited about it.

Also, I am browsing for Christmas gifts. I have made a list of the people I need to give gifts to! Oh gosh... the list still stays the same but the things to give is getting harder! The kids are no longer kids... the older folks might be expecting the same gifts that I give every year! Oh well time to be creative and innovative! Something useful or edible is the preference... Enough with the lotions and other stuff to personal care! Hehehehe

Good luck to me!
