Sunset by the Bay

After preparing our booth for the E-Services Exhibition, we went to the Mall of Asia. We bought chips and drinks from the grocery store and then went straight to the Bay Area to watch the sun set. Here are the photos I took while we were sitting by the bay enjoying the gentle breeze, the nice view and our bag of chips (big grin).

I used the camera from my celphone. I actually brought my handycam, but unfortunately I did not checked if the memory card is inside the camera - it was NOT (sad face). And so we settled for my celphones camera. The photos are nice though (smiles). I hope you enjoy them!

A big ball of fire is just about to touch the warm surface of the bay.

Can you see the sail boat? I love the color of the water. Its so still, so calm.

Say gooodbye to the big ball of fire.

There are a couple of fisherman's boat floating by the Bay.

That was a perfect cast Kuya!

This is the Manila Bay Cruise ship.

The Manila Bay Cruise and The Fisherman's Boat.

The water is so calm. The rocks misses the waves that usually wash their dryness away.

I was a tiring day, but we enjoyed it. Especially the sunset (and the chips) (big grin). I hope you enjoyed your weekend too. You may also share your weekend photos at Pixel Bug. Just click on the badge below to know how. See you next weekend!

Preparing for the E-Services

We were at the SMX Center today to set up our company's booth for the E-Services Exhibition which will be held tomorrow and on Tuesday. RR, Edwardian and Erwina were with me. We met at the office at around 8am, checked the content of our luggage and paper bags; we've prepared it a day before. After a few minutes we were off to SMX. Apart from the luggage and paper bags, we also have a 3m x 2.5m tarpaulin banner. This is one of our concern while were waiting for a cab in front of our building; it will not fit the cab! Edwardian suggested that we wait for a bigger cab. In moments like this, you would really wish for a service from a long distance moving company to help you with big and heavy items. If we wait for a bigger cab, it might take us hours to get one. There are only a few big cabs in the city. And so, we ended up hailing a regular cab. We just asked the driver if we can open the windows and let a portion of tarpaulin banner to protrude from the windows. Its a good thing that the driver agreed (big grin). Edwardian sat beside the driver's seat holding one end of the banner; Erwina sat on the back seat near the window behind the driver and he held the other end. Surely it was a long ride for Edwardian and Erwina, hehehe...

Yummy Treats

In spite of the busy week, I was able to enjoy delicious treats with my office mates and friends after office hours (big grin). Eating has been our stress-reliever in the office; especially if we are staying more than 8hrs. Sharing here photos of yummy treats we had this week -

This is our own creation in the office. Its hopia monggo ala mode. I bought a box of hopia mongo and our Sir RC brought ice cream. We were supposed to buy brownies from Goldilocks, but Sir RC that we try to replace the brownies with hopia monggo (big grin). It was definitely a Yummy Treat! I would recommend that you try doing this "recipe" at home. You are going it like it.

Alfajores with Strawberry with Pankeke on the side

Delicious Pastillas de Leche

And this is the Pankeke. When we first heard of the name, we were shocked that our eyes seem to pop out from their sockets. The last 4 letters in the word Pankeke is actually considered as a one of the words that should not be spoken in public. Its a bleep-bleep kind of word type (big grin).

Having all these yummy treats chased the stress and blues away (smiles). You should try it too. Treat yourself to a yummy and mouth-watering treats and dishes. And most importantly, have fun while eating. Enjoy each bite!

HP Laptops

I reported for work in our Makati office this week. It has been a while since the last time I reported for work in Makati. It feels different now; but it is also a good thing since I am able to see my office mates and friends that are permanently assigned in there. Met with one of my old friends actually. Her office is just around the block from our office. We had coffee and we talked for almost 3 hours (big grin). She even asked me if I want to buy a laptop. Our get-together coffee has become a business meeting; she is selling hp laptops as her part time job. I was surprised because she even showed me a product list and a brochure (big grin). Apparently, she is now working part-time with this retail store that offers gadgets and computers. The retail store is also an authorized HP resellers. Unfortunately, I had to decline her offer. I already have a laptop; its a gift from my sweet Santa (smiles). My friend understood, and so she told me to ask my office mates and other friends if they are interested (geez! she's really a good sales person) (big grin).

Afternoon Snack at the Office

Sharing here photos of my colleagues while having an afternoon snack in our pantry at the office. I bought pancit palabok and puto from Goldilocks; and shared it with them.

Here are the ladies, cheers!

And here are the gents, they just finished their snack and they are now enjoying the soda (big grin)

Here's a photo of the pancit palabok from Goldilocks

and the puto

yummy puto!

This one - its a photo of Spaghetti Al Pesto from Chef de Angelo. I was in our Makati office last Tuesday and invited Iya to have dinner with me after office. We were supposed to have coffee from Starbucks, but Iya suggested that we go to Glorietta instead and eat dinner.

I love pesto (big grin), so whenever I am in an Italian restaurant and its my first time to eat there, I always try their pesto dish.

Definitely Maybe

Circuit City

I was trying to look for a charger for my Asus Netbook. I have been planning to replace my defective charger since December, but I can't find available stocks from Asus Store. While searching, one of the results show the phrase circuit city. I think its one of the largest electronics retailer in the US. And it seems that they also have online purchasing. We also have a retail store here in the Philippines that is called Circuit City - there is one in Quezon City and one in Cebu. It also sells electronic gadgets and goodies. I wonder if its the same Circuit City in the US. Anyway, if in case I won't be able to find a shop to buy a replacement charger, I guess I'll just wait for the stocks from the Asus Store. I was advised that they are expecting a delivery next month.

Yey! Friday! at The Seafood Island
