I’ve been with CBS for quite a while now. Although I haven’t been able to update my blog with anything that has sense in a while, I do have valid reasons as to why I couldn’t do it. The longer I kept my blog idle, I felt myself slipping away from the group as well.

But one night can change a lot.

Last night, the Cebu Bloggers Society held their Christmas party. It wasn’t the very first party CBS has had, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go to the first one. T_T

The group started off with dinner at Joven’s Grill. Unfortunately, I had my brother coming over so I couldn’t go to dinner with the CBS. But! I still made it to Joven’s before we went to Cafe Shang, where the party is supposed to be held.

I brought along my Christmas bundle, wrapped in recycled newspaper dated, December 13, 2009. The rule for bringing along a gift was it should cost at least 200 pesos, minus the gift wrapper and should be good for both sexes. Truth is, I totally forgot about getting a gift.

These past few days have been pretty tough on me… The only thing that puts my mind at ease is when I get on the computer and start cooking up on Cafe World or play the old school game, The Sims. Not The Sims 2 or 3, just the original The Sims game. The reason why things have been getting tough is well, money is pretty tight nowadays. I can’t give out any details as to why money is so tight right now, so I’m just gonna say that I’m lacking the discipline to keep my money in my pocket and just splurge it at everything else.

Would you believe that I haven’t exactly looked at myself in the mirror in close enough to see that I’ve been looking pretty haggard lately in a while now? Reason for that is, I don’t have a mirror big enough to inspect myself with and I barely have time to look in the mirror. I’ve been spending most of my time at work taking calls hoping I can get enough cash and finally start saving up and not embarrass myself because I can’t live up to what my parents expect me to be.

So now, instead of just working 5 days a week, I work on irregular hours whenever I can or whenever the opportunity presents it, and at the end of the day, although I’m making more than my peeps are making, I still can’t afford to go on vacations or buy the gadget that I wanted, or even put my money in the bank.

Well, my life just sucks right now.

In the Philippines, the picture depicts how people move from one address to another (at least in the olden days or in super rural areas). But if you are in the Los Angeles area and plan on moving to a different zip code, and you have too much stuff to move, you’re either going to have to start selling or better yet, you can contact
Los Angeles Office Movers and get a FREE estimate on your move. They accept last minute moving calls, and well, basing on experience, moving around a lot is definitely no easy task.

About eight months ago, I moved closer to my workplace since my old address was just super far and I ended up losing sleep because of the time it took to just travel. I never really got the concept of moving until I moved out on my own. When I still lived with my parents, my dad would drive me to school and it was just so worry-free.

Daily short entries are never good enough for this blog. I always have to post at least more than 100 words or else I feel as if the essence of writing is not there. This particular post is dedicated to a good friend of mine within the CBS group. He celebrated his birthday not too long ago and the CBS went to celebrate the special occasion with him as well. On November 15, 2009, we met up at the Cream and Bake Shop for the formal celebration of his birthday, instead of on his actual birthday.

Allow me to tell you something about the Ethelbert that I know…

1. It’s never boring/quiet whenever he’s around.
2. He’s a kind-hearted person who cares about the environment and people who need caring.
3. He’s one of the funniest people that you will ever know.
4. And there is so much more that you would need to get to know him personally to find out what they are.

There was a lot of food laid out on the table, a lot of which I did not get even a taste of, which is perfectly fine because Ethelbert did bother getting some food on the table that I could eat.

Check out what we had at Cream and Bake’s.

Just last week, I had the privilege of getting invited to a restaurant opening, the Brasco Pizza and Pasta pizza parlor. I was pretty swamped with everything that has been going on and I was looking to do overtime at work for the extra cash and had just started working out. Thing is, I noticed my blog hasn’t been updated in quite a while already, so I grabbed the chance and here I am writing a review about the place.

When asked why Brasco was named as such, we found out that Brasco basically stands for Bryan’s Aspirations Company. It may not be much, but then again, the thought is there and plus, it is Italian-sounding, a fitting name for an Italian delicacy.

Located in The Gallery along Juan Luna Avenue in Cebu City, Brasco Pizza and Pasta opened its very first branch, hoping to attract the growing pizza lovers crowd. 

Not that I’m not contented with my web host right now, I don’t really need that much space since my traffic’s not really that big, but it never really hurt to find web hosts that are cheap and so far is able to meet your minimum requirements. What I really look for is affordability without sacrificing the quality and security of the sites that I manage, and of course just enough space where I can upload and share my files on.

This particular web hosting provider also has that one-click install feature just like the bigger web hosting providers, but unlike the other hosts, it doesn’t have that many freebies to count on, like unlimited number of databases, etc. But one thing I really liked about it was that it has cPanel!

It’s been a while since I played online games, and frankly speaking, I don’t like working too hard for something just to get what I want in a game. First, because I play not to get stressed over something I can’t get. Second, I just don’t have the time to work too hard for gold. So I heard that there are veteran gamers who work hard for you, who gets you what you need in a game that you’re already frustrated at, and makes things a whole lot easier for you.

It took me quite a while to log in to my Dashboard and the Internet connection wasn’t exactly helping either. But when I logged in, surprise, surprise! We have a winner! Remember the contest for the free Dreamhost web hosting account?
