good day

i was pleasantly surprised to receive a text from one of my mba classmate from a number of terms ago sharing the good news that she passed her oce (oral comprehensive exam) already. what was heartwarming is that she said she followed how i presented in one of our previous classes wherein i always smiled at the panel despite the sometimes difficult & nagging questions. it made me happy because in a way at least i managed to share something that she felt was valuable. so right now, i will just be waiting for her party invitation to celebrate her upcoming graduation.

elmers & i had lunch with degs yesterday at superbowl (jupiter branch), some sort of i guess a final get together before degs & michelle move to sydney, australia this coming weekend. michelle, unfortunately coulnd't make it since she was still busy packing up stuff. there's always mix feelings seeing your friends move on - there's a bit of sadness knowing you may probably never see them again (except for the occassional visits) and glee because you know the next road for them is an adventure. i'll always remember degs because i was the one who hired him in intel and i am very proud of what he has accomplished in his short stay. goodluck to both degs & michelle as they build a new life in the land down under.

cinds & i had dinner at oyster oyster last night. it wasn't planned actually - i just finished my workout and cindy just got into the gym and the pasaway that she is, decided we should have dinner na lang. i was ok with it cause i wasn't paying as cindy owes me from her team france losing to italy in the world cup finals. oyster oyster was actually nice. the oyster rockefeller was delicious, the caesar salad could've have used better lettuce but the shrimp & oyster in it was good, the sweet corn soup wasn't that good for me, but the duck wrapped in pita was actually delicious if only it didn't hurt biting into the pita with my dang braces.

cindy introduced me to zhen de shou which is a chinese, herbal fat loss/appetite suppresant kinda pill. i'm going to buy hydroxycut this weekend and then buy that zhen de shou too. i will try the zhen de shou first and hopefully, i will get rid of all my flabs cause i really want to have killer abs. ambitious.

my friend dadra e-mailed me that he's been feeling blue these days - work, life and love. the latter being the leading cause of the blues lately. i'm trying hard not to think about mcbaby - my hunches as i expected were correct. seems like my prayers have been answered - hopefully this piece of news makes it easier to move on. bakit kaya when i say that, there's just this heavy thing in my chest? just need to keep myself busy & exhausted so i don't have time to think about mcbaby anymore.
