Puerto Del Sol

I just got a text message earlier that I won something for attending Heat Wave 2007 at Megamall last December. Boy, was I surprised. I won free lodging for 2 (overnight) stay at Puerto del Sol. I also have the option of spending 3 days and 2 nights at either Boracay or Bohol. Oooooooooooooooooooor I can spend 3 days and 2 nights at either Singapore, Thailand, China or Malaysia.

Honestly, I was sceptical, thinking that it was some sort of scam. But now, I hold in my hand the gift certificate as proof after going to their office. The didn't even ask for any money and I have an entire year for me to decide when and where I'm going to use the certificate. Beijing Olympics anyone (sis' suggestion and she wants to go with me lol)?

Nooooooooooooooo!!111!!oneone!1!eleven!!!11

I discovered a few weeks ago that the zoom out/exposure lock button on my 40D was messed up. Whenever I'm reviewing images and need to zoom out, it reverts back to shooting mode. Not to mention that there's a dead pixel right at the middle of the LCD screen.

So, I just took my cam to a Canon Service Center today. The service rep said that it will take a week for it to be repaired assuming that the parts are available. Otherwise, I have to wait for another 2 weeks.

Rigel is sad T_T

Movies and MYMP

January 25, my sister's birthday. I didn't have much to do yesterday since my sis already left for school when I woke up, so I opted to watch some movies at SM Sucat.

The first thing that I saw was Aliens vs Predator 2. Honestly, I felt that it was a waste of money. My best friend owned a copy of the first book (which I've read back in highschool) and I own a copy of the second book. I really cound't agree with the fact that they only sent one Predator to deal with all those aliens and that the said Predator prefers to use the blaster as its choice of weapon. In the books, the more skilled Predators prefer to use close range weapons. Oh and predators in the books didn't skin people/aliens, they take their skulls as trophies instead. Mostly, it was just people running and shooting and getting lucky by getting a predator blaster. Oh, and "The government doesn't lie" LOL

Its quite rare for me to watch 2 movies in a row in 1 day... The next thing that I watched was the fourth installment of Rambo. As an action film, this was MUCH better AVP. One thing that I would like to note is that the movie has a lot of blood, guts and a great big explosion.

Finally, MYMP was at SM Sucat later that evening. I have to admit that I'm not a fan. I've heard of them though my old team mates at work, but haven't had the chance to actually listen to them. They were actually pretty good. The guy, Chin bears some resemblance to one of my old team mates Prijm. Luckily I had my camera with me, so I had the chance to take some photos of them performing. I was at the 6th row from the front, so I was right at the middle of the place. One thing that I ended up wishing for was more zoom. While I was getting somewhat decent results at 55mm, I was really wishing for a whole lot more zoom. One of the fun parts during their performance was when Juris's mic started to act up due to a bad cable. She ended up speaking in Bisaya (to the point that she had a converstaion of some sort with the audience), much to the amusement of the crowd. As for me, I had to idea what they were talking about lol. You can catch the pics that I took at the photos section of my site :)

Lay it on thick

From our discussion last Saturday (Jan 19)

Mom: I heard that our new maid is really skinny.
Me: Yeah, she's skinnier than sis.
Sis: I'm not skinny! I'm sexy!
Me: LOL!

Yeah, my sister sure is full of herself
