My Noche Buena 2011!

Before, I was used that my Noche Buena was served with a lots of food. As time goes by, as my sisters and I are growing up and becoming mature, the food that was served in our dining table is becoming simpler. I never complained regarding the food, what important is, there's a food waiting for us. 


This year, we just bought simple food, and these are traditional food during Christmas season. I just took some shots of it. 

Puto Bumbong.

Bibingka.

I really did enjoy my Noche Buena and partnered it with a hot milk tea. Thank you, Lord, for the blessings!


Merry Christmas everyone!

11.11.11: Not a Good Day for Me.

I really thought that 11.11.11 will be a luck day for me. Unfortunately, it was not.


I slept at around two in the morning yesterday and I woke up at around five in the morning because I really can't breathe. I was having some asthma attack again. Damn! So I asked a favor to my dad to buy me some medicines to ease my breathing. Luckily, he did. 


After breakfast, I took my medicine and sleep again cause I have work shift at around 5:30 in the afternoon. I woke up at around 1PM and I was having fever. I still can't breathe then I having fever. What a day! But of course, I can't be absent cause it was a critical working day for me since I just came from my work off and payday the next day. I just need to compose myself that I can still do my job. I love my job. 


Then again, you really have to do some sacrifice so I just drink my medicine and lots and lots of water. For my difficulty in breathing, good thing, the production floor is well-ventilated so it was not a problem. 


For those people who got lucky on that day, good for you. For those people who got unlucky on that day, well, it was not mean for us. We just need to live with it. 


Oh, I am still sick. 

November...

Happy Halloween!

Happy World Teacher's Day!

It's WORLD TEACHER'S DAY! 


Let's thank and honor our teachers who touched our lives. I want to say THANK YOU as well for my teachers who have handled me as a student from pre-school up to my college years. Especially to those who became my class advisers, my mentors and my thesis adviser; I want to say, 

They have touched my life and I know they touched yours as well. Though we experienced terror teachers and we really hate them if he/she fails us. Yes, I experienced hating some teachers but I am still thankful of what I become right now. Without them, we're not in the right direction right now. 


Again, HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY! ツ

In 5 Days...

I have this countdown on going in my BlackBerry phone. Yes, it started 25 days ago. A mark of me where there's an additional digit in my age. I am getting older. I had this quarter-life-crisis last year that I really experienced and had an impact in my life. I did overcome it and I am so grateful to our Lord. 


In 5 days, I am really getting older. No one can stop, neither do I. That's life and the only constant thing in here is CHANGE.


I want to get inked in time for my birthday. My money is not enough. I don't want to use my savings for my first ever tattoo. Let's see what will happen next. 


My family, especially my parents are suggesting already where to treat them for a dinner. My father wants to go to Wensha Spa. My mom wants to go to Dad's. My two sisters are asking me where do I treat them for a dinner. I replied, "Ang kukulit ninyo, huwag ko na lang kayo i-treat!" Then they stopped asking me a while ago. I really don't have any concrete plan where to treat them. There's still 5 days to think! 


In 5 days, I am turning 26. I am living it up. October, please be good to me cause I know we're going to have a nice and bumpy ride!

Bringas Brothers of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3

I am really so proud of them! Please do support them in the Finals of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3. Yes, they have a touching story to tell but they also excel in singing. They really have a talent to prove to you guys!

Go, Jefferson & Kurt Bringas!

Clueless.

For the past few weeks, I am so clueless on what is happening to my life. I never felt this way before. I don't what I really want and I don't know if that person is still part of my life. Time flies so fast and the next thing I know, the year is about the end. I will get older by next month and gonna celebrate my birthday again with my family.


I wish I could have spend my life the way I want it or the way my life should be. I really don't know what the future holds for me. I hope it will lead me in the right direction. I want to be successful, but in which path? Which career? Do I still see myself practicing my profession as a civil engineer? I really don't know. Yeah, I have plans for pursuing it but not totally as a civil engineer. I want to be an environmental engineer, until now, I haven't submitted yet the requirements for the graduate school. 


Love life? I don't know if he is still there for me. I haven't talked to him yet. I am really clueless right now. So clueless that I usually drink alcoholic beverages. Good thing, my team mates are there as my drinking buddies. I owe it to them when times like these. They thought that I don't have a problem with my love life, yes, I also have a problem with it. I'm not the showy type of person who is telling to the whole world that I have a problem. I just change my mood to adapt to my environment. I also owe it to my zodiac sign, I am a proud Libran. 


Oh well, life must goes on. I'll just cross the bridge when I get there. Hopefully, before this year ends, some of my questions should have been answered already so I will not be forever clueless.

Happy Birthday, Mama Mary!

@IncubusBand...Live! If Not Now, When? World Tour.

I was about to lose hope when my sister, Vanya, said that she only got two tickets for the INCUBUS concert here in Manila, one for her and one for my younger sister, Nicole. Then she called me at around 6:30 in the evening that she was able to get some complimentary tickets for Upper Box B. I just said yes and I immediately call Ian because I know he really wanted to watch this concert. He even joined the contest for this concert.

And here is my free ticket.

Complimentary Ticket!

I am not familiar with the new Filipino bands right now but when I hear them sing, Franco Band really rocks!

It has been 6 months since we didn't have this king of bonding. And yes, our normal bonding is pigging out. And this time, it was Madison's post-birthday celebration at Yellow Cab Pizza in Timog Ave. cor. Tomas Morato Ave.. Two of my friends are not working here in IBM anymore the five of us are in different teams so we have different shift schedules and rest days. Glad to have them as my friends! I love you, guys!

It's Back! Chicken-All-You-Can by Max's!

It has been a year since the Max's Restaurant had their first Chicken-All-You can when they celebrated their 65th year anniversary last year and yes I was able to grab the opportunity with my family at that time. Thanks for my dad's treat last year and we ate at San Mateo, Rizal branch. 


At that time, I had 6 quarters of spring chicken and I was really full at that time. It was funny that my mom had to order fresh lumpia and we were not able to finish it even though we were four when we try to ate it. 


But this year, we ate at Gateway branch since my sister is joining us and she came all the way from Makati. We didn't order anything else except for the Chicken-All-You-Can. Well, except for my niece who ordered pancit canton because she was craving for it a while ago. I tried to beat my record last year for 6 quarters but I ended with the same record. Huhu. I was hoping that I can manage to eat 8 quarters or 2 whole chicken but I gave up already. Still, I was still thankful for another treat from my dad. Thanks again, Dad!


By the way, here is the picture of the chicken bones. 

My Leftover. Lol.

Strangers, Again!

Every relationship goes through stages. Where and how each stage develops is ultimately up to each person. While we always hope for the best, we often can't avoid the inevitable.

Josh and Marissa are at a crossroads and their future is uncertain. Josh guides us through each stage of the relationship as it formed and as he predicts it will end up as.

Happy Father's Day!

To my dad, Modesto A. Bringas, Jr., I just want to say how proud I am for having you as my father. You're not the perfect dad that a son can have but for me, you're still the best dad and no one can replace you as my dad. Thank you! I love you so much!

Me and my dad, Modesto Jr.

Super 8

"In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in the small town of Ohio set out to make a zombie movie.While shooting for their Super 8 film, they witness a catastrophic train crash, and after barely escaping themselves, they soon discover that it was not an accident."

I just watch this film a while ago and thank to my sister who got us a premiere night ticket at Glorietta 4. I just love the film with a different twist about an alien who is desperate to escape Earth just to get back to his own planet.

Hmmm... I don't like this video so enough! I was expecting that it was more creative than her previous music videos. Her Alejandro music video is much better than her Judas music video.

Though, I like her fingernails in this video! Lol.

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. This is supposed to be the meaning of the holiday but here in the Philippines, our workers have a different meaning to it or gives a different meaning to it.

We, the Filipinos, usually have a protest or a rally so the majority of the workers have an increase on their salary. This is what we have been fighting for every year. Some people are against that the president is moving the worker's holy day. A Tuesday or Thursday celebration can be moved to Monday or Friday so that workers can stretch their weekends for another day.

Labor Day, Philippines.

Whatever the reason may be, this overworked and underpaid worker will be resting on this day but not for those people who are working for the BPO Industry, just like me.

I Love a Child with AUTISM!

Kids with special needs aren't weird or odd. They only want what everyone wants...to be accepted. It is Special Education Week and Autism Awareness Month, and this is in honor of all children made in a unique way. You never understand a situation until...you are faced with it. ♥

During the month of April, we are celebrating the Autism Awareness Month. Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old.

Me and my niece, Frances Gabrielle

I am and will always be proud of my niece, no matter what she has. I will always be there for her guiding her step towards her future. I love you, Frances Gabrielle!

My Latest Chuck Taylor!

It has been months since I wanted to buy a rubber shoes though I wasn't able to find my own size. Tried searching for a nice rubber shoes at Shoe Salon in TriNoMa and luck doesn't go my way cause when I found a Puma rubber shoes with a style that fits my personality, it doesn't have any size 9. Tried going to the Puma branch itself, the style that I want, they don't have size 9 either. Grrrr...

I was really desperate in buying a shoes. Luckily, when I dropped by Converse store in TriNoMa yesterday, I found a nice style of Chuck Taylor. I was really lucky cause the style that I want right now, their available size is only 9 and luck really favored me that day cause the shoes is at 50% discount. This really saved me a lot of bucks. Lol. By the way, the shoes was  Php 1475 when I bought it.

Here's my latest Chuck Taylor shoes:
