iPod Touch: something I found amusing

We bought iPod Touch last Wednesday. We need this device for testing the application on iPod/iPhone. Yesterday, when we were doing the configuration and some other stuff, I noticed one teeny weeny detail.

I was playing with one of the apps. I tap the itouch to zoom in. Then, I was wondering how to zoom out so I checked the user's manual. It says in the manual that to zoom in, tap with one finger and to zoom out, tap with two fingers.

Hehehehe... My absurdity took the best of me, or rather my playfulness. I wondered if it will still zoom out if I use three, four, or five fingers so I tried using five fingers to tap the device (IYou could just imagine) and it zoomed out.

Ergo, the manual is somewhat wrong hehehe. I mean, if I am the one who will document it, I will write this:

"To zoom in, tap with one (1) finger. To zoom out, tap with more than one (1) finger."

Just a thought :D I am trying to amuse myself to fight my anxiety :)

Thought for the day

My friend had the following quote on his YM and Skype. I really like what it is trying to tell so I thought I post it here:

It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

Cool Lightning Pics

My boss took these pictures during his stay at Vivere Suites. I think they are very cool so I thought I post them here:


Heavenly Ensaymada and Brownies

Yesterday, we had an incident at Conti's. My boss wanted to try Chicken Ballotine (I am not sure if I spelled it right, though). He asked the crew if it has no pork in it and the crew confirmed. Then while we were eating (I tried the Russian potato salad, I think its quite good and it is reddish anyway hehehe) or rather In the middle of our hearty meal, the same crew approached my boss and he just took my boss's plate while he was eating (its rather rude, really) without any explanation whatsoever. Then another crew approached and explained that there is pork in his meal. They were stuttering and rather scared. My boss's expression really changed. I mean, you could see it in his face that he got really annoyed but he remained calm. They asked him to order something else but he lost his appetite so he ended up having no lunch at all. He didn't tell anything to the crew, he just commented that he asked the crew for it and how come that he was not sure. When we were about to leave, my boss talked to the manager. She was adamantly apologizing.


So as a form of apology, Conti's sent my boss some breads (ensaymada) and brownies that we are munching right now while having our training hehehe... They are so addictive (drool...) especially the ensaymada. I think I gained too much weight already... But I cannot help it, I mean, I love to eat!!! I think I could finish the contents of the 2 boxes all by myself!!! I wonder what we will have for lunch,,,

I am writing this blog while in training btw. I will be in big trouble if I get caught. Sorry if there are any mistakes heheheh. This is what we called multi-tasking ehehehe... Training, listening, working on the exercises, blogging, chatting, eating, typing, thinking about food...

Laguna: wonder no more :)

I kept wondering why they call Eton City as the Makati of the South. But after seeing the under construction Ayala Mall yesterday, I wonder no more... I mean, the place is so cool, will be much more beautiful (in my opinion) than all the Ayala Malls in Manila put together. It is still under construction but you can already see and visualize how it would look like when construction finishes. It has a man-made river with boats where you could have a boat ride for only 20 pesos I think. Some of the stores are already open and some are still under construction. We had the luck of having lunch at the newly-opened Contis. It is just beside the man-made river. I am sure that it would look very cozy at night, perfect for dates :)







The food at Contis is great! But what I love the most are their cakes!!! OMG! They are mouth-watering, really! There were 5 of us so we ordered 5 different cakes each. I only managed to take photos of the first 3 cakes. I was so busy eating after they served the desserts :) Too bad, I wasn't able to capture Mango Bravo, their bestseller cake :) Anyway, take my word for it. The cakes actually melt in your mouth (hahaha) I could hardly breathe after lunch :)





I am starting to appreciate Laguna again. Where else can you see the entire clear skyline, the green trees everywhere? The air is fresh...

All I need now is to find happiness in my work, which is proving to be more and more difficult as days pass by...

Happy Birthday to me :)

My sister created this video for me:



And I finally got myself a new phone! It is an LG Cookie. My boss said he will leave the iPod Touch here for our testing. And I find touchscreen really really cool (the iPod Touch is really really light) but I don't think I need an iPhone so I settled with an LG Cookie! The phone is amazing. It is also like using an iPod touch. I still haven't gotten enough sleep. We will go out with my family tomorrow... Hmmmm... I wonder where we should eat, perhaps the Banay-banay eatery. The food there is amazing :)

And then yesterday, my team mates and I went to MOA and CenterStage. Hahaha! The sound system at CenterStage is much much better than any of the videoke bars I had been at. I mean, I sounded different, like I could really really sing. I am the thorn among the roses :) Here are some of the photos:











Oh btw, there is a Jobapalooza yesterday at MOA. Grabe!!! There are soooooo many people looking for a job! I am so thankful I have one :) Thank God!

All in all, I have a wonderful day today and yesterday too :)
