Last Slice
by Polgas8683
I just got the last slice of red ribbon's chocolate mouse....este chocolate mousse....
I placed it on my plate.
Got the big cake box out the house and into the trash.
Got back to my plate.
Stared blankly at the creamy white mouse.....este mousse.
Picked up the fork.
Took a little slice.
Teasing myself with this delectable delight.
This cake seems to be staring back at me.
Daring me to gobble the small chunk of cake.
But no....no.....no....
I'll eat this slowly.
So I picked up the chocolate piece.
Got the first bite from the last slice.
Felt the mouse in my mouth.....este mousse in my mouth.
Melting and blending the flavors of semi sweet moose....este mousse, chocolate cake and that chocolate foamy thing in the middle.
Crumbs fall off the table but I don't care bout the mess.
All I think about is this chocolate mixture in front of me.
Took another slice.
And another and another....and another....
Til it was all gone......all gone......
Sad but had inner peace after consuming all that glorious scrumptious cake.
I went outside and sat on a bench.
Stared at the box from where the happiness came from.
Picked it up.
Looked at a tiny yellow orange sticker 9/20/2011
Stopped and felt cold......
Teka....expired na ata!!!!!!Crap!
Went back in the kitchen.
Looked at the date from my phone and felt relief.....9/18/2011 pa lang =)
Wheeeew!!!!
If only Chocolate Heaven was still available,
Things would have been a lot different.
Baka isang araw pa lang ubos na ung cake......di na umabot ng tatlong araw sa ref.

tag-tipidtips
Grabe kelangan magtipid ng todo-todo
Pag sahod andaming bills na kelangan mabayaran.
So here are some ways pano makatipid:
1. First invest in a good "baunan". June was the start of most classes. And malls started giving out discounted stuff. I went to the mall and found out that lock and lock was on sale!!!!!!!! I checked it out and it looks good! it was a bit pricey even on sale but it's a good deal w/ lifetime warranty. One thing I like about this product is its spill proof feature which is very important in bringing baon. My mom usually cooks veggies with sauce or soup and based on experience I don't bring that to work as my baon coz it will spill all over the stuff in my bag. when I was using the usual microwaveable containers.
2. Having a good quality baunan will now lead us to bringing "baon"
It's a full meal plus i get the chance to choose the ingredients.
I love to cook and I can cook so why not take advantage of it.
I've tried cooking for my packed lunch for two or three weeks now and I can't believe that I was able to survive with P500 for 5 days. Imagine spending around 50-150 bucks on a fast food meal, where in that amount can buy you ingredients for a simple quick recipe pesto pasta, plus sisig with fried rice!
3. This will lead to my next point. You'll be forced to wake up early to cook for your meals. This means you won't be late for work. No deduction from your salary and a chance to get attendance bonus (thank God we have this perk in the office!)
4. Next....stay away from convenient stores if possible. You go there for emergency shopping. What I do is I go to big groceries and buy in bulk some are even on sale where you can buy 3 for the price of 2 or something to that effect. This would actually save you a few pesos instead of frequently buying in convenient stores. The supply that I'll get will be good enough for about 3 weeks to a month. Then I bring some food supply and stack it in my locker.
5. Stacking up food at home and in the office will now give me any reason to go back to the mall unless I need to buy something important. This will also give me a reason not to watch movies. Sad but since I'm saving up I need to cut movies unless needed.
6. Stay away from taxi cabs unless you'll be late and the only option is to use a high speed taxi that knows all the shortcuts in the planet. Flat rate of P40.00 is quite expensive. And if I need to ride a cab, I'll do i this way. ride the common public vehicles like bus or jeep or even MRT then if its around 100 meters you ride the cab. This will make you look so sosyal but half the price.
7. If you have a credit card, refrain from using it unless for emergency situations. Here in our country cash payment would still be the best option.
Use cash first. And unless of course you're so rich that you can afford to pay your monthly dues.
8. Check your bills. Check the billing dates, due dates and of course the amount that you need to pay. This would give you enough time to manage your salary as to which one needs to be paid first.
9. If your so hungry and you ran out of baon and its so jahe to make kain your baon on the streets of manila. Try checking out small food stalls that sells siomai, tukneneng, hongkong style noodles, mini empanada and the like. You can get something to eat for less than fifty bucks. Just make sure the place is clean and you wouldn't want to end up in a hospital nearby. That's an expense.
10. Tip # 10. If its your day off, stay at home. Bond with your family. Cook for them. Chitchat with the neighbors. Clean your room. Read old piles up books. Write a blog (like what I'm doing, with some blog sites you can even earn money)
Hope this helps. Lets not blame everything to the government with the economic crisis and all that crap. This is our income. This is the only amount that we earn for now what can we do about it to survive.

CHEDENG!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's my rest day from work and I'm stuck at home. Skies are dark and cloudy. Typhoon "Chedeng" is here in the Philippines. This reminded me of Ondoy. I can still remember exactly what happened as if it was just yesterday. Ondoy that devastated most parts of Luzon and killed almost 300 people, affected families, business, homes and lives. I had work that night and usually I stay in the office after work to sleep before I go home. So I woke up then bout to leave the office when I saw my teammate tin who's going home also. We went out of the office and voala!!!!!!!!!very heavy rain and dark clouds!!!!!!
So the journey begins.
Tin was hesitant to leave coz of the super heavy rain. But I was decided to go home and sleep again. So I told her I'll go ahead of her coz I don't wanna get stuck in the office til tonight. She changed her mind and got her umbrella ....ella...ella ...e..e..e and made sugod to the rain!!!....
Walking a few blocks from the office after the heavy rain and raging flow of water....voala! may shoes got darn wet! That was around 11am I guess.
We waited for the bus but there weren't any passing by......after 25 yrs of waiting for the bus we were able to ride one from Shaw blvd.....then it stopped in Megamall.....stopped like it will be forever!!!!!!
I told tin....."maryosep trapik na! MRT tayo gusto ko na umuwi!" We tried to ride the MRT but hell it was not working and swarm of people were also waiting for a train ride.I told her...."maglakad na nga lang tayo!" try natin sumakay ng bus sa banda dun...."
And the walk begins.
And to our surprise traffic was not moving and parts of Ortigas was flooded. We reached Corinthian Gardens and we were at awe....(nax! awe hehehe) EDSA was so flooded and cars and buses were drowning....We stopped....took a deep breath. took our camera phone and took our picture!!!!!!! to my regret I should have taken a picture on the deeper water on EDSA....having jumpshot unfortunately my camera phone can't capture that.
The walk continues.
Camp Crame was opened for that time because of the flood. Soldiers were also helping the people. Thank God there was a jeep at least we won't have to walk for the next mile.We reached Cubao had the chance to ride a bus.Tin dropped off to a bus terminal in Cubao.And I continue the ride.The bus suddenly stopped near Quezon Ave. and it didn't move. We had no choice....but to walk again.
And I walked again.
I walked over the bridge took out my camera phone..and took pictures. Continued walking til I made it to Trinoma. I was soaking wet my shoes, my jeans, my bag.... but my greatest worry was for my phone and ipod. I thought the flood was over when I got to the mall. The mall looks normal to me. People still shopping while the manila was drowning. Then I walked to SM North....thinking of riding a cab to get home since busses were all stuck in traffic. I got a cab and to my dismay it can only pass Pag-asa.....so again I walked. Frustrated...tired and my legs hurt from non stop walking. But I must go on. walking from 12pm. Clock is currently showing 4pm.
To my shock I saw raging waters on Congressional Avenue. The place looked like a freakin' river! Darn I was so shocked at what happened I forgot to take pictures.
The military were also there to help out. Even huge trucks can't pass the raging water. One by one, people tried to pass through the river-like highway. The army even set-up a rope so that people can get hold of it. All I can do is walk again. First step was felt freaky coz water had a strong current one wrong move and I can be washed away to anywhere. I lifted my bag to my chest. Had a few more steps and had the feel of crossing the water. Others followed. Good thing the rain stopped for a bit, it would be easier to cross that river. I almost tripped I forgot that there was an island in the middle of the street. Thank God I got my balance back.
And the walk continued.
I stopped at the nearest 7-11 that I could find to buy gatorade. I was so tired I forgot that I was thirsty. Thanks for the plastic bac I had the chance to protect my ipod and phones form the rain since my bag was soaking wet.
To cut the stary short I walked and walked until I got home at around 7PM. And I was told that our "bakod" crashed coz of erosion. So tired that day. Thank God we had power that night.
I watched the news and found out that Ondoy had drowned entire Metro Manila and sad to hear that people lost their homes, their family, their friends. Sad to hear also that one of my schoolmates in highschool passed away coz of flood. My sincere condolence. But life must move on. We must survive.

starting to blog again
After Friendster.com announced its major reformat on their site and they have to delete the blogs, pictures, profile details...I started to think about my old pictures and blogs from friendster. At first, dedma na lang sana, however, I was like nanghihinayang....(arte ....taglish...wahahaha) so I started to save one of my important blogs: Trip to Buruwisan Falls, Famy Laguna. I was reading my other blogs....di naman pala cla ganung karelevant hehehe. Puro rant lang yung iba. Hope this will be a good start for the rebirth of my blog life. I wanted to put food/resto reviews, travel experiences and call center related experiences. Hope readers would enjoy. I may not be the best blogger in town but hope this works =)

Trip to Buruwisan Falls, Famy Laguna Feb 2008
(This was one of my favorite post from my old blogsite from the now extinct friendster.com Posted from friendster blog last: February 26th, 2008) It's now updated with photos para mas amazing!
It all started ng magtext si yaya ai at dianners a week before ata bout magmountain climbing daw. So sobrang excited naman ako sumama na kahit ala na pera sugod pa rin na walang pagdadalawang isip na makaexperience ng “ULTIMATE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME”! Hehehe…..kamusta naman dati malling malling lang gimik naming magbabarkada…

Hehehe…..kamusta naman dati malling malling lang gimik naming magbabarkada…
tapos napunta sa mga resort…..
tapos biglaang plano pumunta sa beach sa Batangas ...
So I expected na ordinaryong outing lang at nature tripping…..pero with a twist pala! At ang twist literal na nangyari sa bawat taong umakyat sa bundok na yun….hehehe well nyways, here’s the story……
Saturday morning after shift nag-inuman pa with teammates 1 boteng san mig lyt and konting patak lang ng happy horse(ultimate version ng red horse). Onti lang ininum ko kasi kelangan ko energy para naman makauwi pa ng bahay at makapag-empake para sa “ULTIMATE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!”
11am nagkita na kami ni dianners (na halos mamutla na at mamuti na mata kakaintay sakin…kamusta ang heavy ng traffic sa libis…) so ayun naggrocery na kami ng mga basic needs like food and water and of course alang kamatayang cup noodles! Hehehehe.
Then after kumain at magshopping ng pagkain….nakipagkita na kami kay ai….so kamusta naman ang mga backpack naming ni dianne na kasing laki ni ai….hehehe after ilang minuto ..at last dumating na si ai….so punta na kami bahay nila ai then sugod na sa meeting place ng tropa…..Robinson’s…..somewhere……di ko lam ung lugar basta dun na un….at ng magkita kita na kaming 6….sugod na sa tanay rizal to meet jess and para kunin iba pa gamit na hiramin para sa ….“ULTIMATE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!”
Before dumilim nagbyahe na kami papunta Famy, Laguna. Inabot na kami ng dilim sa kalsada ng makarating sa Famy, laguna….at syempre picture picture muna before anything else…..hehehe. Nga pala sa kasamaang palad….brownout sa baranggay na binabaan namin!!! Sa good luck naman umpisa pa lang parang nagbabadya na….hehehe so lakad pa rin ang tropa sugod sa dilim…kasama naman namin si santi at renz….mga beterano na sa pag-akyat sa bundok. So akad kami sa kadiliman, habang tinatakot ng mga batang epal sa kanto na kesyo andami daw nawawala sa bundok! O di ba sobrang nakakaencourage!!!
Mga 7pm na ng nakapagregister na kami sa 1st leg ng endurance race! Umarkila na kami ng kabayo para magdala ng ibang gamit papunta sa camp site….kasi daw d kakayanin pag buhatin lang habang naglalakbay.
Eto na naglakad na kami patungo sa mas madilim na gubat….bitbit lang 3 flashlight at mga bag naming kasing laki ni ai. Umpisa excited pa kasi ba namn 5 samin 1st timers sa ganung mga trip!…virgin ika nga….so sugod ang grupo…lakad….lakad…lakad…lakad…kwentuhan…picture picture pa on the side….lakad…akyat…dulas…dapa…subsob…lakad….sugat ditto…gasgas dun….akyat dito….hanggang sa dumating ang 10pm na lakad pa rin kami ng lakad na parang walang katapusang paglalakad sa gitna ng kagubatan. At dumating na rin ang point na din a gano nagkukwenthan pano puro ….mura na sinasabi namin while making dulas on the knee-high putikan! hehehe
Humangin na rin at medyo maulap so good luck na naman…putikan na ng kami, madilim pa at as an added bonus umulan pa ….ayos talaga ang “ULTIMATE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME” naming!
Dumating din point na umiinit na ulo ng mga peeps coz of frustration na rin na hinaluan ng pagod…pero understandable naman. Sa isang kubo nagpahinga muna kami after mga 4hrs ng paglalakad ng hals walan tigil. Coz parang feeling namin nawawala na kami kasi ala na kami makitang any signs of human being sa lugar…at ang buong kagubatan ay nababalutan lang ng dilim. Pero It’s weird sa lugar na un di ako nakaramdam ng talot na baka may engkanto, multo, wild animals, lions, tigers, anacondas, penguins, giraffes at hippopotamus. O baka biglang sumulpot si Igamu…bitbit ang mga alagad ng kadiliman at ang halimaw na gawa sa pira-pirasong bakal, bote, scotch tape at paper mache…..awa ni Lord ala naming ganung lumabas.
Habang nagpapatila kami ng ulan. Kumain na rin muna at uminom ng tubig…at rootbeer. We tried to contact mga friends ni santi na dati na umakyat sa bundok na kabisado na ang lugar….thank God ang nagiisang fone na may signal ng e gumana. Nakausap din ung guy (buti gising pa) at nakahingi ng direksyon. So naghati ang grupo sila jess, santi at renz nauna muna umalis dahil masama na rin pakiramdam ni lester and Dianne. Si Dianne nangangatog na sa ginaw. Pinaghalong basang damit at malamig na hangin. Si lester naman hirap na rin maglakad coz of mga galos sa paa. Ako as usual kain ng kain habang nagpapahinga….si ai text ng text habang ung tatlo binaybay na ang kadiliman. So nagging bonding moment muna naming 4 ung pahinga.
After mga 45 mins tumawag na si santi para iconfirm na safe na sila at pinasundo na kami sa ranger. Maya maya 2 grupo ng hikers na rin ang napadaan sa kubo na kinapwestuhan namin. Makalipas isa pa mga 45 mins dumating ang na ang mga tagapagligtas! Hehehe ayun empake na ulit at byahe. Back to reality ika nga. Sugod uli sa ulan, putik, bundok at dilim. Lakad lang ng lakad at bumating ang pinaka matarik na point ng trecking na sobrang dulas mga 70 degree angle siguro ung bundok. Tas puro damo.
Ala talaga makakapitan . hala sige gapang kung gapang hehe buti andun sila manong to da rescue na hatakin kami pataas sa bundok. Thank God naakyat naming 4.
After ilang minuto pa narating din naming ang camp site….I was so excited ayun lublob agad sa ilog habang nagpapaanod ng putik sa damit ko at sapatos. Ang kawawa kong sapatos….naligo sa putik ng di oras hehehe..after magbabad sa ilog nagayos lang ng sarili mga 4am na ata kami nakatulog.
Mga 7 am nagising ako na nangangatog sa ginaw. Kala ko may aircon ang kubong tinulugan namin. Pag gising ng lahat….usual almusal, at mga morning rituals.
Hinanap na rin naming ang pinagmamalaking Buruwisan falls…as usual baba kami sa isang matarik na cliff gamit mga ugat ng puno at mga bato. Grabe ang ganda ng falls parang ung mga nakikita sa mga nature shows. Napawi ang pagod ng ilang oras na paglalakad.
Makalipas ang tanghalian, nagempake na kami para makababa na ng bundok. Pero this time natuto na kami lahat ng bag at gamit pinabuhat na sa kabayo!!!!bwahahaha! tubig at cell phone at camera na lang binitbit namin bwahaha. This time din since kita na naming ang daan mas madali na bumaba ng bundok at grabe dun ko naapreciate ang buong kagubatan! Buti mejo maaraw na. Remember ung 70 degre angle bundok….no effort na….nagslide na lang kami pababa! Bwahuhuh sarap pala magslide sa maputik na burol!
Para kaming mga bata na nagpadausdos sa bundok. Narating din namin ang isang magandang bundok na napapaligiran ng talahib. So todo picture picture kami na parang amin lang ang tuktok ng bundok!!! What an experience being on to of the world! Ito na ang “ULTIMATE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!”
After ilang oras ng paglalakad nakarating din kami sa dulo ng paglalakbay ang registration site! At long last ….sibilisasyon!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mga 6pm na kami nakababa ng bundok at nagbyahe na kami papunta uli kila jess. Dun na nagkakwentuhan sa lahat ng nangyari sa trip. Pinaghalo halong pagod, saya, onting inis, gutom, uhaw at lahat lahat na.
I’m so happy na na-experience ang kabundukan with my closest friends – ai and dianners! Sobrang di ko makakalimutan ung experience na un coz of course din a mauulit ang adventure na un….yaw na namin! Wahaha…kidding…pero given a chance na makapgtravel uli at nature tripping…why not?
One more thing to add..... the best thing happened was sobrang tulungan ang bawat isa sa paglalakbay
