counter strike??

Guess where I am right now?

I’m actually with my guy friends, 5 of them in a cafe playing Counter Strike. They invited me but I declined. Why? Though I played CS years before and enjoyed it actually. I already forgot the functions and shortcuts to be used. And I might impede their enjoyment for the whole hour. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not tomboy and a war-freak. I just like that game cause it keeps me alert. Haha.. And they’re good friends actually.

Counter Strike, by the way, is a game consisting of 2 teams, the terrorist and counter-terrorist which a player could choose to be with, or just be a spectator, like me. Each team attempts to complete their mission objective which to my knowledge is a race to eliminate the opposing team. Each team starts at the opposite end of the map, armed with its default equipment. Standard monetary bonuses are awarded to the team who wins a round, lose a round, kills an enemy, be the first to instruct a hostage to follow, rescues a hostage or plants a bomb. The players could also buy equipments to replenish used rounds with their money earned.

That’s just what I could remember. I enjoyed it then though. Their shouts of excitement and laughs actually echoes inside the cafe right now. I get to glance into 2 of the screens and be excited with their fights. Friendly fights that is. I envy them. Anyway, at least they enjoyed their game and me here, blogging.

found it!!

I was rummaging for a polo for a friend yesterday afternoon. But instead I found my lost pair of earring I blogged about previously. Hehehe.. It kind of looks like this, and its silver too.

angel in disguise

This is Macky, my angel in disguise today (he’d probably be mad at me for posting this pix – sorry mac). Here’s how it went: I made my round of reports late last night, procrastinating, so in effect I woke up late and skipped breakfast. Feeling down, sleepy and tired I go aimlessly about my way to Cugman for a task. I was not psyched up to do the task and was pushing myself for it to no avail. I finally decided to do my duty even if my heart was half into it cause I was running out of time. Just then, Macky came running to do his share of duty as well. He was sweating and catching his breath. It was not necessary for him to be there on time but HE DID, because he has a responsibility and commitment to do it, he said. And he even left his chores at home to be with us. Wow! In a way, it encouraged and inspired me to do my duty as well. I am very grateful indeed.

Since I have no topic in mind to post, lemme share my day instead.

I hadn’t had breakfast this morning because I woke up late at 6:30. Thinking I would be late for 7:30, I hurried myself preparing my things and for my lunch, leaving no time for a few bites of breakfast. It was already 7:32 in my watch when I left home and most probably the same time of the school I’m newly employed right now. I had to walk about 100meters from our house to ride a jeepney since they had a rerouting, and another motorela ride to the school. When I arrived, I wondered why it was still deserted and only 1 staff and the directress who greeted me at the gate were there. I didn’t know that classes starts at 8AM. Hehehe.. Anyway, that was a good start. Imagine my fear seeing the directress, much more greeting me upon my arrival, at the gate.

Secondly, today was rather a decision-making day of sort. While talking with the directress, she asked me if I could sacrifice my Wednesday afternoon for a one-hour remediation session with my student so there might be continuation in the topics discussed in their school. My whole day of Wednesday were spent in my other work also with the same job but different center which she’s aware that I cannot give up. We’ve arrived at a compromise but she has yet to talk to one of her student and ask her permission first. So I still have to ponder on this.

Next, of the 6 of us in the group, only 5 were invited by our well-loved undergrad instructor to attend his long-planned wedding this Saturday. Take note also, of the 60 something of us in the class, we were the only ones invited. It is indeed an honor. The mass starts at 2PM so either we had to ditch the reception and attend our 4PM class on our Master’s or not come to class at all. And, we had to decide if we had to inform our other member or just make excuses or what cause he might be wondering why we didn’t attend our class that day. Plus the gift. So we met after work and went straight to SM to buy our gift. I’m glad this ones not so hard. Looking at the displays and discussing about its functions and importance, we voted for a dish organizer since its not common to give dish organizers on wedding. And its also useful for the newly weds as well.

Tum tum tum dum… Decisions, decisions. Why can’t it be just black and white? Why does it have to have some colors? Hehehe… Duh… Colors made it all meaningful and enjoyable, right?

fried ice cream, at last!!

The first time I’ve heard of fried ice cream, I immediately became curious and interested. Curious as to its packaging, appearance, taste and how its made. Whenever I stepped unto Dumaguete City, I always yearn to try out its famous and only-in-Dumaguete fried ice cream. I had been to Dumaguete City a couple of times before but due to time constraint, I hadn’t had the chance to try their delicacy.

Last May, I had the chance to visit Dumaguete City for 2 short days with friends, actually, it was only 40 hours. Nonetheless, a chance to taste their fried ice cream as a treat from a buddy and good friend of Dumaguete City. At last!! He bought me to Panda Fried Ice Cream, its famous maker of fried ice cream and a local store. We ordered chocolate, ube and vanilla flavors among the others offered at a lesser price than ordering it by piece and soya milk for our drink. Healthy living huh. When our orders were brought to our table, I can’t help but be curious and meticulous. It was my first time, so forgive me for my actions. Well, the Panda store made their own ice cream which they put in the filling and wrapped it with cooked dough, not baked. I wonder how they closed the dough with the ice cream inside? Surely, with the heat required to cook the dough the ice cream inside would melt, but it didn’t. It was served frozen in our table. Hhmmm… Whatever they did, it was just great. Finally had a taste of their famous fried ice cream.

Panda Ice Cream, ice cream just for you…
