with a combination of your bad day with your partner's bad day?

A special week...
Today is wifey's birthday. Since we are on a save-up spree for the upcoming new furnitures we plan to buy, we decided, no gifts... So I'm counting on you all to give wifey an excellent gift.. hihi.. yung unisex ha. :D So happy birthday!!! I heart you.
***
Before I forget, happy belated b-day to bro-in-law (Sept 15) and bro-in-law's GF (Sept 18). Hehe. Bday week nga!
***
Prison Break Season 3 has finally started. Coolness.
***
If you have nothing to do and willing to watch a film online - all 1 hr and 56 minutes, may I suggest you watch the documentary on http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com. If you feel lazy, or have a slow connectivity, I have downloaded the file to my machine.
All I can say is.. Conspiracy Theory my ass. This is the real deal. Wake up. The Revolution Is Now.

Youtubing the Killers
I can't sleep so I decided to youtube my favorite band The Killers, and after watching some of their live performances, I started looking for covers, so that I can learn their guitar riffs, piano chords etc. These are currently my favorite.

Back...
I'm glad to be back. Missed wifey terribly, and wished that she could have been there to celebrate the joyous weekend...
***
We all have memorable moments in our lives, and I can count mine with both hands. A few of them are:
- marrying wifey (top of them all)
- graduating
- back operation
But what defined me for who I am right now is the life experience after high school. Everything I learnt about life in general came from the influence of my friends.. and last weekend, two of them got married. Kris, the often misunderstood but a great great friend, and Marc, the people man, loved by friends, admired by not-so-friendly-friends (as to this day, I have not known anyone who has hated him). So to them, Cheers, and keep enjoying life.
***
The wedding was awesome... The best wedding of this year, though all four was AMAZING... The only drawback was that it was humid, and it was a good thing they gave away fans (pamaypays). LOL. Did I spell that right?
Can you count on my speech as a drawback? It was horrible! Horrible... About 3 hrs before the reception, I was trying to write my speech, and used short description like Greetings, introduce yourself, talk about marc and kris, etc etc. I even wrote a small joke, but, alas... It was so horrible.
I'll blame this first on Kris and Marc. Were you on crack when you decided this? eh? Then to Ian, the best man (este woman) who gave an awesome awesome speech... She's a comedian so my joke seemed so lame and corny. LOL. She's way funny too, and wifey would have enjoyed chatting with her... Oh well.
My speech was to go something like this:
I have known Marc (este Harvie) and Camacho (este Kris) for more than 10 years now, from the time of dating, to courting, to being together, and today. I guess they had many doubters, but not me. No, I see a relationship which defines who they are, and how they match each other perfectly. Sure there were good times and bad times, but as they say, life goes on. And oh how they did. Look at them now, in their brightest hour, their love still shines. So to Mr. and Mrs. Marc Harvie Calim, if there's one thing I learnt from you, it's that Love will prevail even after your Darkest Hour. And in the future when you feel lost and despair, remember that we are here.. just a phone call away.
My actual speech went something like this.
Err.. stutter stutter... hmm. hehe.. Uh.. yes.. Oo nga..
Shayt, and I spoke in tagalog. Sheesh.
***
Highlights of the wedding are:
- Forgetting the box from the hotel containing the marriage certificate. Kyle (Kris' sister), was suppose to hand over the marriage certificate during the signing of the certificate, and with a smile, she says "Kahit ano mangyari, smile pa rin kayo", and she opens the book and a blank paper says something like "Nakalimutan namin yung certificate sa hotel.. Sorry. :)" Get a scanned copy of that!
- After ceremony intro... Walking to a rap tune... Hysterical!
- A small game to determine which table goes first to the buffet table... A representative from each table (Jim and Hal chose me) has to go in front of everyone, and dance... Oh see and believe... I went second. Hehe.. Only because I didn't dance kaagad. Haha.
- Nebula picture taking.
- Kris' friends rapping with the band.
- Kris' cousins playing as a band.
- Marc and Kris' speech.
Please guys, post the pics and vids! Raw ones ok? Personal copy.

I'd like to share some travelling tips when going and coming from Dubai to Pinas.
- If you're ticket is paid by your company, book with Emirates Airlines, and apply for Skywards. I now have a free ticket to use just because of Skywards.
- If you're a frequent traveller, try to get the e-gate card. This will reduce the hassle time on the passport control while departing/arriving in Dubai Airport. I have been using mine for more than a year now, and it is one of the cards that I am happy to use.
- If you're flying with Emirates Airlines, use the online check-in. Not only do you choose your own seat (I prefer the window seat A or K), but the travellers at the check-in line is less than 10. This allowed me to receive my boarding pass 7 minutes after I arrived at the airport. Coolness.
- Do not exceed the luggage weight limit. I've been guilty about this in the past, but the rule is there for a reason, and sooner or later, they are going to be strict about this. And if you can try to check in without hand carry (at the cost of exceeding your luggage), then do so. The limit for luggage is 22kg, but mine was around 27kg and had no hand carry, so they didn't even charge or ask me to decrease the luggage weight. This is great because when in Dubai airport, the distance makes you walk long, and there is no hassle inside the airplane. I had a few looks from travellers who were envying me just by briskwalking, while they were bringing backpacks, small luggage, etc.
- And finally, try to tell your relatives/friends who will be picking you up at the airport to not bring the whole batallion with them to act as a welcome committee. It's just not right.

It's now 7am and I have to be ready for work. I hope I don't fall down and sleep.

5 things you don't know about me...
There are a couple of things that people don't know about me... Some secrets hidden for ages, which are not meant to be shared, due to embarrasments and public humiliations. But since I am going to be a father, I have to suck it up and share them to you. So without further ado, 5 things you don't know about me...
- I love rock music. I enjoy rap music. But sometimes, just sometimes, when alone while driving, I would sing to the tune of Britney Spears, N'Sync, and wait for it.. wait for it.... the BackStreetBoys. Don't ask me why.
- I don't like thriller, or scary movies. I hate being surprised, and I always end up getting pissed. The last time I watched a scary movie, wifey got turned off when I hid behind her after I screamed like a little girl.
- Men being responsible for all things DIY does not apply to us. Wifey is more knowledgeable when it comes to fixing anything related to house. She does better wall drilling, plumbing and anything related to tools/hardwares. Just recently, there was a clog in the toilet wash basin, and she told me to pour acid. After doing it, the acid melted through the pipes, and all the dirt and gross stuff just came running down the floor. I didn't know that you have to pour the acid slowly.
- I heart celebrity dirt. See? Who says heart?!
- I am not a sentimental guy. I am not a sentimental guy. I am not a sentimental guy. I am not a sentimental guy... I'm repeating this over and over again until I start to believe it. Contrary to popular belief, I have a soft spot that only a few have seen. Don't believe me? Put in the movie I am Sam, and wait for it. Just today, I ready the book Marley and Me, and tears just wouldn't stop... for the life of me why?! BTW, Marley and Me is highly recommended.
