nila na sagot...magulo pa rin. english should be used inside the company premesis...kahit yung ka usap ko sa kabaling linya ay hindi marunong mag tagalog kailangan ko pa rin ka usapin ng english or ang isang option ay lumabas ako ng office para maka usap ko siya ng tagalog...tingnan natin ngayon yung mga tsekwa sa office kung mag chi-chinese pa din. proper casual wear...ito ok to sa akin kasi

Syempre may sakit na ang bebe ko at kailangan niya pa bantayan ang baby naming medyo makulit, sobra naman yun. Baka hindi siya gumaling agad pag ganun. Big disappointment lang in my part kasi wala ako dun para alagaan siya at bantayan ang baby namin. Sana kahit papano I prove something to myself na im changing na.<br /><br /><strong><em>“Twice mo na ako natatouch dad! 2mu2lo luha ko syo…thank you!”<br />06-12-2006</em></strong><br /><br />mmm…actually I don’t know the reason kung bakit siya na touch, hindi naman kasi sinabi ng bebe ko. Anyway, you’re welcome bebe.<br /><br /><strong><em>“Thank you dad! Wawa naman baby ko tlagang bumaba pa para maload ako.”<br />06-12-2006</em></strong><br /><br />Nag pa load kasi ang bebe ko sa akin, eh dito kasi sa lucky plaza lang puwede bumili ng globe card.

style="font-size:85%;">I was supposed to post some thoughts that I already drafted but I’m having a second thought if I should published it or not. Basically it’s just some flash backs that I want to share but I guess I’ll just set-aside it and have this particular thought right now…<br /><br />Why is it you’re trying your best to make everything right…to follow what is right…to tell what is right…but in the end you’re still wrong. It’s really hard to please some people…let me rephrase that…it’s very hard if a person doesn’t trust or believe you anymore.<br /><br />Mr. All Wrong here…yeah that’s me…</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21260835-113924216554367955?l=freeburger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Bienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00032578926093705660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21260835.post-1137937982282714442006-01-22T05:43:00.000-08:002006-01-22T05:54:21.130-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6867/2148/1600/kindereggfun.0.jpg"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6867/2148/200/kindereggfun.0.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> I went to 7-11 just across the street where I live from (FYI: here in Singapore you can find a 7-11 in every block…sorry walang mini-stop dito) coz since I arrived here I was craving for chocolates. Mura lang kasi ang chocolates dito. Yung mga hard to find chocolates diyan sa manila ay mabibili/makikita mo lang dito sa 7-11. After dinner, I decided to buy a chocolate just to satisfy my craving. I decided to buy a box of Kinder Surprise chocolate. A box contains 3 chocolate eggs with a toy inside the eggs. It’s like the happy meal of chocolates. Just a flash back, I first tasted this chocolate when my sister from Australia sent us packages. At first I didn’t mind this chocolates, syempre nag concentrate ako dun sa mga well known na chocolates tulad ng Hersheys, M&amp;M, etc. But when I found out that these chocolates contain a toy, it sparked my interest to open up all the eggs and see what toys are instore. In fairness, the chocolate itself taste good…it’s a milk chocolate. Nung katagalan, hindi na nag papadala ang sister ko ng kinder surpise na chocolates sa mga packages niya. I don’t know the reason why, probably she thinks I’m too old for this kind of things. Comfort food ko kasi ang chocolates.<br /><br />Here is the official site </span><a href="http://www.kindersurprise.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;">Kinder Surprise</span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21260835-113793798228271444?l=freeburger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Bienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00032578926093705660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21260835.post-1137851798754923472006-01-21T05:53:00.000-08:002006-01-21T05:56:38.763-08:00<span style="font-size:85%;">Probably you’ll ask me why free burger for a blog name…because somebody beat me to “thinkpad”…hehehe…so I need to come up with another name for my URL and blog. I was suppose to use “thinkpad” for my blog name because I’m currently using an IBM ThinkPad and because this piece of machine will be my everyday partner for the remaining 345 days stay here in Singapore. Medyo cool din sa pandinig ang “thinkpad”.<br /><br />The free burger is actually a practical joke that turned to an everyday word that we used during my stint at MTech. It all started when me and my bud ryan (the so called "child lover") went to Hot Shots in front of the Asia and Pacific College at Ortigas. We ordered some burgers and decided to eat it in the office. When we arrived our other buds (Jojo, Jan, Anton and Philip) ask us where we got the burgers. From out of nowhere I told them that some lady is giving away some free burgers. Then ginatungan pa ni Rayn to make it more convincing. At first they where hesitant, they even told us that we’re jut fooling them, but because of our natural acting ability and convincing power, we actually persuaded them to go down and look for that lady. After they left, tawa kami ng tawa ni Ryan to the point na mauubusan na kami ng tawa (yeah I know medyo walang dating pag kinukwento to, pero if you where there during that exact time, luluha ka sa kakatawa). When they came back they had some burgers with them (probably they just bought some para hindi din masayang ang effort nila na bumaba sa office) and teased us that they really got from the lady and it was free. Yeah right, who’s in the right mind to believe that after pulling a practical joke? From then on, that “free burger” thingy stuck in our head and was used in to some of our everyday conversation.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><em><strong>Ryan:</strong> pare, mag re-resign ka na?<br /><strong>Mike:</strong> oo pre, hindi sila pumayag sa gusto ko na salary…kaso ayaw nila ako paalisin<br /><strong>Ryan:</strong> talaga<br /><strong>Mike:</strong> oo, kaya sabi ko sige, payagan nyo muna ako mag leave ng 3 months, tapusin ko lang yung contract ko dun sa kabila. After that balik na ako dito office.<br /><strong>Ryan:</strong> pumayag sila?<br /><strong>Mike:</strong> oo, pero pag nagustuhan ko na dun, hindi na ako babalik dito.<br /><strong>Ryan:</strong> putcha pre, na free burger mo sila<br /></em><br />Ganun naman ang buhay di ba…one big Free Burger with some French fries on the side…life is not fair sometimes…sometimes we’re on top and the next thing we know we’re at the bottom. We encounter some good things, but usually it’s the bad things we bump into in our everyday life…it’s up to us how we handle it.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21260835-113785179875492347?l=freeburger.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Bienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00032578926093705660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21260835.post-1137774114439058862006-01-20T08:03:00.000-08:002006-01-20T08:21:54.450-08:00<span style="font-size:85%;">Probably you're thinking this post is all about my previous girlfriends, but it is not.
