Elizar, The Blogging Dad

Finally got my long awaited iphone yesterday at Globe Center SM Fairivew Quezon City.

My application in SM fairview was in fact my third. The first one was in Megamall second in SM marilao. I really didn’t expect to get the unit right there and then. I thought that I’ll be put in a waiting list but to my surprise, the gave one to me instantly!

It was a quick but tiring week, a week with CT. Here’s what happened…

Monday – first day. I basically did nothing. Waited in the lobby area the whole morning, ate lunch with Jon and stayed in the lobby for another 2 hours and decided to go to Atrium for the RDO update.. that’s the time I found out that I have to go first to my first employer (that is T3lus, ortigas BIR).

Tuesday – Scheduled new hire orientation at CT Libis. That orientation, one on one, took the whole morning till 2pm. At 2, i tried going to Ortigas BIR .. went to Pasig City hall but the guard told me that Ortigas business district is in Ugong.. Dang! Went to Ugong to find out that my RDO is till in Calamba Laguna!

Wednesday – left early for the long travel in the south. Arrived in Halang around 9:30 and finished before lunch time. Bought Buko pie and went home

Thursday – this was yesterday.. did nothing. Gave the rest of the new hire docs and applied for a savings/payroll account which did not the CT folks were not able to finish (?!)

Friday – found out that my car has no CR, certificate of registration!

This is another long day for me.. I was in Laguna and back here in Bulacan.

Woke up the same time as yesterday, 5:00am and was out by 6:00am.. unfortunately the bus went on, gone without me. I was able to catch the 6:30am bus to Cubao.. got there by 8:30am

From HM Transfer terminal, 8:30 arrived in Halang by 9:30.. i was number 10 and i think finished by 11?… Lugaw Queen is where I ate my ‘lunch’.

hey, i started doing my rudiments again today.. and this time its much better.. Before I use to feel that doing drum rudiments is such waste of time because my hands just dont agree with each other.. but now, while watching Vampire Diaries, i was pounding my high chair with some pattern beat (im sure its a rudiment but im not familiar with their names yet)

Anyway, this time it flowed smoothly.. i think i’ll continue with it.. here a sample drum rudiment .. it is called Single paradiddle.. dont ask me why the name.. i dunno.

This is a long day’s night! I should be sleeping like a log! Yeah, twisted the light a bit.

Today was indeed a long day… I’ve been in Marilao, EDSA, HSBC Fort, Market Market, C5, Ortigas Center, Libis, etc…

I went to SM Marilao as early as 9:45am to apply for a Globe Postpaid line… Went to national Bookstore and bought a Planner.. After than, went straight to Market Market for the clearance.. Finance not approving, need the phone and sim… Good thing Cecille Tarnate helped me.

Had lunch in Goldilocks.

Went to Ortigas, 1pm.. Felt like I wont make it to Citibank Libis by 2:30 so I went there.. but since I noticed that there’s no traffic, I went back to Discover,… got my payslips (and a notebook from Sunlife) and went straight to Citilibis.

Finished the orientation by 5pm.. went home.. with jollibee.

I finished watching the first 4 episodes of the Season 8 premier of 24.

Jack Bauer is definitely back! I missed the action of Jack Bauer and now the addiction has been satisfied. The first four episode of 24 shows that there is a peace agreement between the United States and the Arab countries.

Jack helped in capturing the assassin. Well, actually it’s Cole Ortiz but Jack did all the ‘research’.

Anyway, by the mid of hour 4, the president’s brother ran and went to the seller of Uranium.

I ‘launched’ (as if I am a big blogger or internet marketer or something) my newest web presence a couple of weeks ago about Wordpress, SEO, blogging and a little of anything I want to. The blog is called ‘I am Root‘.

If you stumble upon this blog (by Googling my name) then I am asking you visit I am root, that’s the new one.

Like I said, it’s about a few weeks old and a couple of post about Wordpress, plugins and SEO but I feel something about that place. I feel like its going to be big, like the TV blog i am doing now.

With that, I hope to you see there!

…. (this is the second part of the blog post about the accident that happened on the night of January 9, 2010)

While I was trying to stop the bleeding from Matt’s cut, I asked my wife to buy us a band aid for the wound. A few minutes later she came back irritated with the tindera and said the there was non available. Great!

Asked her to get a piece of cloth instead so we can wrap it over the wound maintaining the pressure, stop the bleeding and eventually make it clot.

She cut a piece of an old sando of Sean and she put a few drop of betadine on a cotton ball gave it to me and applied it on Matt’s wound.. From my surprise, Matt holler from excruciating pain. Apparently, Betadine stings! Lois told it would not.

Catch up with LOST before season 6 premieres on February 2, 2010!

LOST is one of the best TV series ever produced, in my opinion.. Plus Stephen Kings loves it.

Happy new year! I am expecting that I wont be receiving my salary for this payday since I filed my resignation last December 14.. but still, hoping na meron.

Anyway, since there is no sweldo, good thing I have an alternative…. I have a $1200+ Adsense for last (couple) months and that’s what we are going to use for January’s (and February?) budget.

Exchange rate was $1=Php45.95 (darn!)… We were in Sta. Maria Waltermart and after en-cashing $500, (roughly around Php22,900).. we did the grocery thing.

When we were going back to the parking lot, I noticed that I didn’t have the car keys with me! I did not panicked and asked my wife where it was.. she said, she didn’t know and I didn’t give it to her.

I asked WM’s customer service if someone reported a lost car key, wala daw.. I retrace my steps and asked the forex lady.. and (not so) surprisingly, there it was, Emmo’s keys! My fault.. left it there.
