from me ~ haha i got myself an optical wire-retracting mouse. it's such a geeky present. not to mention cheap-ass since its around 300 pesos. but so what? i love it. for the anal people who doesn't like the cluttered wires. it has the wires wound up to the desire of usage. beat that huh.
g33k.

and from my sister ~ 500php GC from fully booked....phrawr. nothing like a bunch of new books to bury my nose upon to in the upcoming vacation/drugery :D


and yes, who could forget i was kissed on the cheek by this cute boy :D ^___^v who is also my nephew. (screw the tard in the background)

well that's about sums up my presents.

yule rock @ NSP (last saturday)

just last weekend, i was just preparing for the christmas party, i took a whole day leave to get prepared. at 10 am i was already at rockwell, had a manicure, made them paint my nails a deep wine red, threaded my eyebrows and met him.

we had an appointment at this korean hair stylist. for once in his life he'd get his long straight hair cut in a funky style, and my untouched/unchemicaled (?) one into a straight fest.

what were we thinking? haha

my hair took 3 frickin hours. soaking and rinsing and setting and all that. i was squirming in my seat and he was laughing because i looked like a kid trapped in time-out.

here was the result...

everybody was surprised with his new look. i was proud of him. hehe...

anyway we hosted the show. and it was better than last year. last year was just...meh. i had a guest so my movements were limited.

i won in the raffle a bottle of sparkling red wine. he won a starbucks tumbler.

here are a couple of other pics from the party.

here's cheann gloi me and frank. cheann looked nice that day we all sported different hand gestures. cheann and gloi in mirror 'rock on' gestures. i did the peace sign and frank the west coast rap hand sign. funky.


here's the band! Bentarattarat composed of ben/bert/karlou/eds/cheann/melissa on vocals, km and jeff on guitars, dino on bass, toffer on trumpet, and jecal on drums. they rocked the house down :)
my favorite people in the office :). nuff said.

this is my project team. we're missing two people though. plus the old members. we look like rockers here :D


here's one of the last group pics post party time. everybody seems to be going home already.

it was fun. after that we went to makati prime. kick backed had a few rounds of moo moo with the guys and slept.
