With my Gold Shell Citibank Visa Credit Card, I shifted from Petron to Shell mainly because of the 5% rebate.
When I gas up at a Shell station, the gasoline attendant informed me that they have a current promo.Read more . . .

My bowling performance - week 13 of 28th COMP
On my way, the traffic along EDSA was terrible because of the collision between two vehicles alongside the bus stop near White Plains Avenue, which constricted the flow of traffic to two lanes only. It took me almost an hour from East Avenue to the accident site. Luckily, I arrived at the mall at about 6:15 PM. When I got out of the elevator to fourth floor, there was human traffic of bowlers waiting for their turns to ride in the mall’s sole, slow, and scrimpy elevator. I learned later that they were the national finalist for the World Cup. I saw Paeng Nepomuceno; but, he managed to be in the fifth place only. And, this event delayed our games by about 30 minutes.
Alfred, our second best bowler, has been absent for five weeks now because of a surgical operation. Get well soon, Alfred, and hope to see you again.I played better games last night – 148, 205 (my third 200 game); 177 or an average of 177. My current average is now 162 from 161.

Luigi's birthday celebration
We simply and extemporaneously celebrated my son's birthday in Teriyaki Boy in Trinoma. The only guest is her Tita Elvie. These are the food that we ordered.
Happy birthday, Luigi
Happy Birthday, Wiji!
My only son’s now 27 years old. We’re discussing about how we’re going to celebrate his birthday. Go out for lunch or just order for delivery? Out of town celebration was no longer an option due to huge expenses we incurred in our recent trip to Isabela. I preferred delivery. But, my wife decided to go out and eat in her favorite Japanese restaurant – Teriyaki Boy. I agreed as I was craving for my favorite Unagi (eel) Teriyaki. The nearest Teriyaki Boy from our place (Novaliches) is in TriNoMa. Since my sister’s place is along the way, we called her up and invited her and Lizeth, her daughter, to join us. Unfortunately, Lizeth wasn’t home.

Mamang flies back to Sydney
Time flew so fast. I still remember when we fetched Mamang, my mother, from the airport six months ago. This morning, still fresh from our trip to Isabela, we drove her to the airport for her return trip to Sydney, Australia, where she is now a citizen and permanent resident. I personally accompanied her inside the airport to assist her in getting her boarding pass, paying the fee, and to see that everything was all right before we left her.

Low on fuel
While negotiating the highway from Carrangalan to San Jose City, Nueva Ecija, I noticed that the needle of the fuel gauge of our Toyota Innova was hitting the empty level. A few kilometers more, the low fuel level warning light illuminated.

Chowking should read and follow the mechanics
I’m glad I’m a BPI Express Credit Cards (BECC) holder. I have a BPI Red Classic and a BPI Gold Mastercard, which are extended to my wife. BPI is currently having a promotion. It is partnering with famous Fast Food Restaurants to treat its cardholders with free food items. The first promo was with Tokyo Tokyo, then Jolibee, Chowking, and, currently, Greenwich.
With these treats, I keep on using my BPI credit cards.

Padilla & Diampoc Nuptial
Here comes the bride, all dressed in white. . .
The groom, Rogel, and his bride, Aileen, have vowed to each other:
The groom, Rogel, and his bride, Aileen, have vowed to each other:
“I take you to be my spouse, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”
Jing and Babette say "I do’s"
Mamang postponed her trip back to Australia. Jaja requested for her vacation leave despite she’s not entitled to a it yet. And, I also filed my vacation leave. With my wifey, Beng, and sister, Elvie, we again traveled more than 400 kilometers to attend anther very important and momentous occasion. It’s the wedding of our nephew, Jing, to his girlfriend of 3 years, Babette.
At the St. John Bosco Church, the couple said their respective “I do’s” before their families, relatives and friends. Soon after the pictorials, everyone proceeded to the bride’s residence to celebrate their unison with food, drinks and dancing.

Save on fuel with a credit card
A Citibank representative offered me a Shell-Citibank Visa credit card. At first, I rejected it as I currently have three credit cards; and, I’m using Petron fuel more often than Shell. He was insistent and explained the benefits of this card. First, the annual fee is waived. Second, I could be entitled for 5% rebate for Shell fuel purchases.
With the increasing cost of fuel, I thought twice. 5% is 5%. For every full tank of about P2,500, I could save P125 or more than 2 liters worth of fuel.

PhotHunt 125 - Beautiful
At Autos of Tom
BEAUTIFUL cars and BEAUTIFUL girls are what you can see in an auto show. I don’t know if the car enthusiasts are after the cars or the girls. The above picture was taken in the Manila International Auto Show 2008, which was held last April. For this year alone, there are more than 10 auto shows that have been held and upcoming.
ooooooo<<<<<<<>>>>>>>ooooooo
Last month, my handsome nephew tied the knot with her BEAUTIFUL girlfriend. A month after, we are back in their place in Quezon, Isabela, 400 kilometers (10 hours by land) from ours, to attend the wedding of his younger brother.

Hectic days ahead
For the third time this year, we’ll be going to Quezon, Isabela. The first time was in March due to the celebration of my niece, April, of her passing the Nurse Licensure Examination; second was last month due to the wedding of her eldest brother, Ronelle; and, this time the wedding of her older brother, Jing.
The town of Quezon is about 400 kilometers from Manila or about 10-hour drive (including stopovers), if I were the driver. In this case and as always, I am the official driver.
Miss Write’s Birthday Contest
The enthusiastic Miss Write will be celebrating her 25th birthday next month, September 9 to be exact. Instead of waiting for people to send her gifts, she’s taking this opportunity to give back to everyone who helped make her blog a success (despite a minor one).
As gratitude, she’s holding her very own contest dubbed as “It’s My Birthday Contest” to give everyone a shot at a few cool prizes, which are:

My bowling performance - week 12 of 28th COMP
I thought I wouldn’t make it to the bowling or, at the very least, I’d miss the first game. I had been in meeting since 3:00 PM; and, I was expecting that it would last beyond 5:00 PM. So, I devised a plan to escape at 5:00 PM. There’s another problem though – it’s raining cats and dogs; and, perhaps, the traffic could be bumper-to-bumper already.
I looked at my watch – it’s already 5:00 PM but couldn’t execute my plant yet until 15 minutes later. I hurriedly got my car from the parking basement and drove off. Fortunately, the rain had stopped; and, the traffic was not that I expected.
