In X-Men: The Last Stand, the final chapter in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a “cure” for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant […]

Wedding Bells for Kris and Ipe
Yesterday I attended the wedding of my teammate Kris to her boyfriend..err…now husband, Ipe. Cute pair, Kris and Ipe, same names as the now defunct celebrity love team. The wedding was held in San Agustin Church in Intramuros, chosen by the couple for its historical significance. Apparently, when it comes to choosing a church to […]
Fun in Fontana
For this year’s teambuilding, our company headed to Fontana Leisure Park in Clark Field, Pampanga yesterday. Doms drove us over there in his car, and we got there just in time for the morning program. There was a work-related presentation, then the traditional new hires presentation, then some games. After the morning program, our team […]

The Da Vinci Code {Movie Review}
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, one of the most controversial fiction books of our time, moved on to the next step of all big books — it was made into a movie. But before it could make its way to the big screen, it had to hurdle a lot of impediments along the […]
My First Bridal Shower
During an ST conference planning our TL’s birthday surprise, I brought up the idea of throwing a bridal shower for Cris, our bride-to-be teammate. Mich and Jo were quick to agree, and so I sent out an invite to all the women of AP (accounts payable). Since it was last minute and since I have never […]

Our TL (team leader) Mina was discussing something with Mich when Jo broke in with a loud “Happy birthday Mina!” We were all startled, because we didn’t know it was her birthday (bad bad team, yeah I know), but we recovered from the initial shock and immediately sang our greetings. Right after Mina thanked us, her […]
Unfinished Business
Another project of Performing Musician’s Guild (PMG), an org in our company, is to host voice and guitar lessons. They were both held today, and despite typhoon signal number one, I dragged myself to the office to attend them both. In the morning we had voice lessons. All my team mates (from cluster 3) — Jo, […]
Leader of the Band
I must be going back to my old self, the old “laagan” and “never at home” me, I mean. For the third night in a row, I get home way past my bedtime (FYI, I sleep at midnight). Last night, though, was no longer a high school reunion, but somewhat the opposite, because it was an […]
Reunited and It Feels So Good
I wonder if my horoscope for this week said anything about being bombarded with reunions? Because on two succeeding days the time machine brought me back to High School…that is, on these two days I was reunited with High School friends. But then again why should I believe in horoscopes, when my zodiac sign, virgo, […]
