Hay, nakakabad trip tong Alaska, isang panalo na lang di pa magawa!!!! Ergh.. Anyway, patapos na pala ang buwan. Ang bilis naman. hehehe One month down this 2016. A new month begins!
Speaking of something new, siyempre, new paths na din by next month. It's just spending the last days. hahahaha Ah, siyempre preparations na din are coming so I just need to do it and yes, no plan B. Fingers crossed! Ah, ano pa ba bago.. Ah eto, sumasali ako sa contest na sana palarin. hehe I don't watch the show but why watch if I know it na? Kaya hinihintay na lang yun question for the day. hehe
Dapat may review ako ng Star Wars kaso sa SM North, parang naubos yun mga die hard fans. Wala na siya!!! Well, di naman ako fan ng Star Wars. Kaya I don't mind missing it. Kala ko di na ko makakasulat ngayon kasi sa dami ko ginawa kahapon at yes, sarap na nakaleave. Pero it won't last.. Bwisit. hahaha
Ah, ano pa ba.. Naku, eto na, kailangan ko na ng back up at more TB. 50 gb na lang natitira sa HDD ko. Anak ng tinapa, ganun na kalaki yun collection ko. hahahaha Diyos miyo!!!!! I never thought na lalaki pala yun collection ko ng ganito. I never thought of this library to be huge despite, pinipili ko na ha. Next month, I'll focus na din sa wordpress site ko since lahat na dapat ko gawin around me eh finished. Time to focus more on the productive things for me.
Ang hirap pala ng 4x11 pero mabuti na lang umaga. hahahaha Naalala ko talaga yun ePLDT days ko, 4x11 na from 1am-12pm, parang araw araw, katapusan mo na. hahaha Dito, hindi naman, mahirap ang Aussie pag after work hours, mahirap yun mga issue nila. Bad trip.. Anyway, mabuti naman split off. Naisip ko sana pwedeng ganito sa normal na company, compressed workweek para maraming off at yes, less hassle going to work. Kaso di naman siya applicable sa lahat ng industries unless you have a very big number of workforce right?
What else? Sana naman may tumalo sa GSW! Sobrang lakas eh. Di sila pwedeng kampante. hahahaha I'm not against them, it's just sometimes, too much winning from them makes you hate them for some time.. And yes, Cleveland won't stand a chance. Hay, bad trip!!!
Oh yes, seagate still runs smooth after a couple of months. Very smoothly... We'll see if that is the case when 6 months come. hahahaha Ah ano pa.. Siguro still Happy and Hungry! Yun lang for now.

flashbacks: Less Music, Same Life
I just tested yun xiaomi Iron Piston in ears at suprisingly, great. I mean, for that small amount, grabe yun detail ng in ear na yun saka tunog pang westone na mura kung baga or klipsch. Kahit medyo weird yun design! hehe
Almost 2 months after na ko nakapagtest or nakagamit ng inear na matagal. Yes, like drinking booze, putting in ear plugs is my next thing to reduce or worse, eliminate. Sabi kasi ni ENT doc eh.. Well, as you know I'm now developing vertigo at worse, eh sobrang hilo ako, lalo na yun month na November. Surprisingly, di ako umabsent at tuloy pa din ako pumasok. After some cool audio test and exam, it was found na kahit ok naman hearing ko, may signs of degrade na. Saka yun na, one of the sad news I heard, I need to minimize or stop using in ears na.
Darn, pero tuloy ang calls. hahaha Kala ko yun na, pero in ear lang ang bawal. Pero sa calls eh, ok lang daw basta after shift, or before shift, no more in ear headset. After 2 months, I felt light, saka di na ko sinasabon nina ate or Mom na kung ano daw nakasaksak sa tenga ko. Wala na ganun. Less pressure from them. hahaha Saka yun hilo, with the help of vitamins saka iwas inear, di na ko nahihilo. Nahihilo lang ko siguro sa work. hahaha Other than that, eh ok lang naman ako.
But I'm sad about it, I'm missing my play list na nga eh. Gaya nung natest ko yun plugs, check ko agad yun Joy Division/New Order/Smiths playlist ko kung yun depth ng bass and other parts are right at yun kanta ay clear. Not bad... hehe Saka yun mga ibang kanta namiss ko from Amy Winehouse, saka yun rock playlist ko and worship songs and of course, Nippon desu..
It's a missing feeling but it's not a loss. Kahit wala nakasounds sa tenga ko, I kinda appreciate the natural sounds outside.. Even yun mga sounds ng mga tsuper/driver.. Or the human sounds.. Kahit yun trapik sounds na nakakabad trip pero nandyan na yan. hahaha It is less music, but I have the same life. I'm focused on reading na lang or kung may pinapakinggan ako, use speakers than in ear. PInamigay ko na nga kay gerro yun natitirang in ear ko dati, kaso pasira na yun. 2 years of usage was not bad. hahaha
Well, I missed yun time na pag naka in ear kasi ako, parang at peace ako and the same time, being enclosed in my own environment. Listening to songs that brighthens my mood or improves it. May ibang songs na nagpapataas ng bad trip ng araw ko.. Hahaha Or chill out kung baga mayrun din. Kahit worse day na ang nangyari sa kin, I have a playlist na helps me to forget them. hahaha
Anyway, sa ngayon, ayun nakatengga lang yun headset at mukhang tatagal pa to kasi di ko naman masyado magagamit due to my condition. Akalain mo yun flare 3, napaganda niya ng sounds, hindi tunog lata at di pa todo yun volume. Galing naman ng headset na to. Despite doc's directions, susundin ko most of the time..
But some times, I just need my inner silence. Especially, a great thing is coming. Naks...
Oh yes, that hizzing sound is always in my ears.. Sign of the times. =)

Ginza Bairin v Tonkatsuya
Hay, this past holiday season, I was lucky to taste these 2 great tonkatsu restos. I got it right this time how to eat them. Tignan na lang sa baba. hehe
Ginza Bairin, located siya sa Trinoma and as I'm curious at going deeper sa japanese foods, I tried it out na. Sabagay, habang wala pang tao. hahaha Mahirap na pag jampacked. Anyway, I read the reviews at nagisip ako bigla parang gusto ko kumain dun ha. As usual, alone and just checking at first, pasok na agad ako.. Check their menu at etong servant eh todo explain ano meron. hahaha I chose yun basic tonkatsu set nila, parang 450 plus. Tapos, appetizer na potato salad. Then, waited of course at while waiting, ambiance is kinda light. Not the usual japanese resto na dark colors pero light setting. Eto light paint tapos light din ang setting.
I checked the menu, they really focus sa katsu and furai set at some desserts or snack like onomiyaki na sana matikman ko in the future. hehe After some 15 minutes, dumating na yun set. Ah, I forgot, yun salad muna na nakakagulat! Chilled yun bowl! Grabe, yun ata nagpasarap sa potato salad. haha Tama lang yun dami kahit mukhang kaunti. Set came at ayun na, presentation is great. I mean, authentic japanese tonkatsu set. May gulay, fruits, tapos the pickle.. Ah.. Heaven. hahaha Yabu's set good looking pero not complete unlike this one. Speaking of the pickles, ang tamis at ang sarap! I mean, sa sobrang sarap, umorder pa ko isa. hahaha Unli naman eh. Mixing up the sauce was a bit complicated, kasi may asin tapos yun beans for the tonkatsu sauce.. Then the usual shredded lettuce. Rice, yummy one na din at ang fruits na sobrang sulit. Simple pero unli. hahaha
Of course, the tonkatsu itself, eh I can say it was fried great but I can say yabu's tonkatsu is better kasi tumutuyo sa dila eh. hehe Pero it doesn't mean, di siya masarap. Mas masarap pag nasawsaw na siya sa halo mo sauce, grabe, kahit wala nang kanin. hahaha Sulit!!! I don't like wasabi, pero dahil sa set na yun, no choice kung hindi ihalo siya sa sauce and that weird salt. hahaha Para macontrol yun anghang. Grabe, narealize ko na dalawang kanin lang at less letuce para maenjoy mo yun set. Dito ko lang natutunan yun. Kaya dapat sa susunod, less rice and lettuce, enjoy the rest! At siyempre yun pickles. hahaha I can say, sobrang busog ako, at nasarapan. No trace of umay unlike sa other tonkatsu restos na medyo naumay ako. At eto naubos ko yun set. No take outs. I ended up not eating until next day, dinner. hehe
Tonkatsuya, kinda challenging but yes, worth the very long walk. Nung tumitingin ako at naririnig ko na tong resto na to eh in Makati. Nagkataon na inaayos ko yun HDMF ko, eh I thought, puntahan ko na ito. From the HDMF office sa buendia, nilakad ko papuntang st. paul road. Anak ng tinapa, thanks google maps ha. hahaha Salamat sa pagtanong sa guard at the yellow boys eh nakarating ako. Sa susunod, dalawang jeep lang pala papunta dun. haha May silbi pala yun PRC na jeep.
Anyway, tama lang yun paglalakad ko para gutumin ako na todo! Eto talaga, di mo akakalain, yun lugar na pwesto niya may authentic japanese resto. Simple menu lang siya, more focused sa fry at tonkatsu. However, dapat curry pipiliin ko, kaso walang set. Pinili ko yun tonkatsu set na may grated radish. Daikon! hahaha Weird yun pinili ko at di ko ineexpect kung ano lasa at I want to know bakit yun daikon kasama sa japanese cuisine. Nakakatuwa ang place na to kasi it's not only set up japanese like, sliding doors saka very tight yet effective space, yun mga babasahin, talagang from japan.. Sarap dumekwat ng Golgo 13 at nakalimutan ko yun isang manga, di ko kasi trip. Pero yun Golgo 13, sarap sumiple. Saka yun magazines na galing japan! Kahit di mukhang mahal yun place, mukhang sarap tumambay at magbasa. Lalo na yun mga manga!
Pero, nung mababasa sana ako at nagbabasa ng menu, dumating na yun set! Ang bilis! hahaha Ok the set has tonkatsu, yun cabbage, miso soup saka yun daikon na sauce. Hiwalay pala. Grabe, inuna ko yun wasabi, mali ako! Sumakit yun ilong ko. hahaha Pero nung tinikman ko yun soup, cabbage and the sauce.. Grabe pantapat sa mga mahal na resto. hahaha Yun daikon sauce, grabe, bagay sa tonkatsu saka kanin! Sarap talaga.. Yun tonkatsu, pwede pantapat sa mga mahal na resto, kahit di masyado malaki, pero malaman.
Ang nakakatuwa dito, all for 300 pesos! May extra rice na! Yun nilakad ko na napakalayo, biglang sulit na at di na ko nagutom until the next day! Grabe, kung ako yun at malapit, once a week ako kakain dun! Hay, sarap balikan. hehe Saka yun simple atmosphere and manga na pwede basahin, malaking points talaga.
Anyway... Honestly, parang walang lamang sa dalawa. Ginza Bairin, sulit yun 500 plus pesos with service charge dahil sa set with that sweet pickles and very patient staff. Yun sa Tonkatsuya, kahit 300 lang, parang mas sulit pa to kaysa dun sa kinain ko sa may trinoma na napakamahal na 600 na get yourself salad with tonkatsu set. hehe Saka yun atmosphere parang usual japanese resto na fast food. Grabe...
That's why, it's a draw! hahaha Hmmmm, sorry Yabu, 3rd place. hehe Not bad, 3rd place out of 4 tonkatsu restos I ate no!
2nd place pala kasi dalawa ang first place. Grabe, 300 bucks.. Sobrang sulit! Yun Ginza bairin, I'll go back and try their other sets, and that pickles!
Oshii!!!!

part seven
The last part for my home turf. For me, this is the best work hub for now at QC. It's not only the first technohub set up in QC, but also, still the best place to work despite some difficulties in this place. Eastwood!
How to get here, from our house, walk first from our house to E.Rod then ride a cubao yale jeep, 11 pesos then sa yale, look for the jeep that is going to Rosario, or light homes, then that's it.. 10 pesos more and you are now at Eastwood. You can get there less than an hour if there is no traffic.. But for these days, I don't think so. That will be explained later.
IBM - located at the middle at the right side, aligned with Citi tower. I think this is the first IBM site in the country and grown what is now. Ah, they have two offices, one at the middle then at the 1600 building. Same building with Dell. Well, if you checked my previous posts, you know how they works.
SITEL - Located at the cybermall in Eastwood, I forgot which they sits, but I remembered they are kinda high in that building. Very tight office they have. I mean they don't have a large space compared to the other centers. As I mentioned in my previous posts, they have a good medical insurance. However, yes, I remembered applied for this center, after waiting for almost 2 hours of my final interview, it did not happen and yes, great thing it did not happen. hehe
Concentrix - Yes, on how they became big, started in this first site they have. It houses of course, Dish network and I don't think they have or I heard more accounts they have in this site. They give big, I mean way bigger that we received before in ePLDT for dish but, yes, I don't think that will compensate the stress you'll get in a Dish Network account. Never. hahaha
I'll stop at this one for now, but for the next one, it will be a lot. I'll list down a lot. =)
