Aloha CBPS

It was the first time I actually went to a Rewards and Recognition Night held by my department. We call it RnR night and though I have been with CBPS for more than a year, I really haven't joined in any of the fun fare. I went, I ate, and I had fun.

It was a fun night but I had to go home early since I had work early as well. Still ... it was worth going to. Thank you CBPS!

meet up with Chris

I met him on an online forum way back in 2006. We saw each other once back in 2008 and it is only now that we met up again. Everytime we meet up though, we just fall into conversation like we've been talking for years. It's that comfy feeling where you can just say anything without filtering and you would know that he won't judge. it's the kind of friendship I have with him. I may have hanged out with only 2x but I know that there will be more and it would all be fun and deep moments.

I took lots of shots because we've never had our photos taken together. 

what I had ... Vanilla Latte and cake

white forest cake with raspberry filling

serious look

wacky shot

normal hehe

Till the next one dude!

books books books

I got all these for less than 1,000. Beat that! The bookworm in me is wriggling with happiness.

Geek Fight!

I've always thought of myself as being smart. Seriously. I'm conceited that way. So, when I was asked to join geek fight, I was all for it. I was a bit nervous but it was all good kinda nervous; not "I'm gonna throw up in your face nervous" but more of "eekkk! I have butterflies in my stomach nervous coz this is gonna be all kinds of awesome."

Boy, was I right and boy was I wrong. It was all kinds of awesome being part of geek night but I realized that I am not as smart as I thought I was. Seriously. I spent the better part of the night going from "huh?" to "eh?" to "WTF is that?" to finally "that exists????" It was a humbling but super funny moment.

I did have my GENIUS and I'm A GEEK YOU FUCKER moment when no one on my team knew the answer to the question, "What is the main resource of District 12 in Panem in the book Hunger Games?" Wheee! Marty, our resident genius threatened to burn an effigy of me if I got it wrong and I was blessed to have  been told that I shall live another day when I got the answer right. Take that!

And here are the photos of my night that will be the start of many more Geek Fight!

2nd Pex Fil-Chi meet up

This year, we've had one meet up and that was way back in January I believe. Finally, the group met again and I can honestly say that this group is crazier now and we had way more laughs. Thanks Jake for making the night super fun.=p

We had dinner at Amici. Kim and Jake were hesitant in ordering since they are both gym freaks and we were dining at an Italian restaurant but they finally ordered pasta and then proceeded to have ice cream. Talk about giving in to temptation. Dalvin and I had pizza and seafood pasta which Dalvin thought was spicy and which I did not find spicy at all. Either he has super low tolerance for spice or I have really high tolerance for it; that we shall not  know. After dinner, we went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf where the ladies proceeded to teach the guys a few moves to try. LOL. Jess came in at 9pm which made him 2 hours late but he made up for it by taking our photos.

Here are some photos of the fun night that we had. Definitely, this group is meeting again.

All in all, a successful meet up. :)
