AKIC CSB hotel

I was searching CSB’s site to check if they offer short courses for Culinary and it seemed YES! My younger brother is on his last sem until this March and we’re planning on what would be next for him. Taking Culinary Arts is on top of the list and good thing CSB is offering it. The details I need to check tomorrow.

The Certificate in Culinary Arts (CiCA) program is offered in consortium with the Center for Asian Culinary Studies. A well-designed module for aspiring Chefs, Entrepreneurs and Restaurateurs who need accelerated training and education. The program combines culinary theories, latest trends in the industry, practical training and application in the DLS-CSB School of HRIM’s state-of-the-art facilities under the supervision of certified trainers, professionals and industry practitioners.

After CET(Central Europe Time)Shift, my office mates and my younger Brother Dom went straight to Pampanga to watch the 16th Philippine Hotair Balloon.

We arrived at around 6 AM and we were just in time to witness the hot air balloons being pumped with air(?) and saw it fly one by one. The weather did not fit the ambiance of the event that I did not enjoy much taking photos. Well, it’s not just what I imagined =) I though I was gonna see something like this. haha

1. Ride a Bus going to Dagupan then drop at the Dau Bus Station.

2. Ride a jeep going to Dau/Main Gate Jeep Station.

3. Ride a Jeep going to Clark.

PLDT myDSL is being annoying already. For the past 2 weeks, it has not improved its speed.

We’re supposed to switch to CABLE LINK Broadband which is apparently ready to install in our new apartment. Just that on that day that I’m about to call PLDT and cancel that whole thing, the lobby called and said that PLDT is waiting downstairs.

PLDT speed

go to speedtest.net to check your internet speed

Right. So I have no choice but to go with PLDT again. But since PLDT is being very customer satisfying right now(sarcastic), 160 Kbps for upload and 330 kbps for download(pretty much what we’re currently subscribed) pero bakit ang bagal pa rin.  I think we’re gonna switch to CABLE Link 1MBps for P999.

When: February 6, 2011

Where: Cultural Center of the Philippines

After Sunday Service, Doms pulled me to CCP for the Pasinaya 2011 Event. I’ve never heard of the event before not until he showed me this (while in the bus) article saved from his HTC Pulse(Makes me want more or an HTC too!).

Pasinaya 2011 was “dubbed as the biggest one-day performing arts festival” with more than 80 performances from the different corners of CCP.

Since we came in at around 3:30 PM, we were only able to watch a theater performance from JUAN MAKASINING YOUTH ARTIST Network and the Grand Finale at the CCP Main Theatre.

I dropped by the National Book Store to finally use the Gift Check worth P500 I got from our [Office] Startgroup Kris Kringle last December. First I dropped by the novels and fiction section. Found a lot of Nicholas Sparks’ Books, undecided among Dear John, The Notebook and The Last Song but eventually picked Dear John as advised by my office mate.

business and investing

Few shelves away, I dropped by the Business and Investing Section. I found this book which I wanted to include in my basket. I was thinking if I will buy it over Joey Concepcion’s 55 Inspiring Stories of Successful Women. I browsed this book 21 Steps on how to Start your own business.. and found it interesting and helpful though I’ve picked the first one instead (Succes Stories) since the I planned to only use the GC only.

greentennial runI was in the middle of the run.. then there was functional check. For the Win!

January 23 was the Greentennial Run Day and of all days, I was assigned on-call for the weekend system outage. The scheduled Functional Check was 23:00 UK Time which is 7:00 AM here in Manila. It was already Friday when I finally realized that I had a run and a functional check happening at the same time.

Hindi ko na makahirit ng replacement kase late ko na nga narealize ang mga bagay bagay. 5:45 AM nagstart yung cue for the 5K Run. Around 5:50, meron nang nagtext! Hahaha. Kelangan na daw mag-online. Sabi ko 15 minutes. Makatakbo naman ako ng malayo layo. I told myself, bahala na. Itakbo na lang to.  After 15 minutes, I decided to leave and go straight to office. Ang problema,walang taxi! Sarado yung kalsada diba. Haha. So since wala na rin choice. Takbo pa rin ng takbo.
