Tales of A Commuter Chicago Edition - Week 10 Part 2
Random shots from the weekend I spent wandering around the city alone...
having lunch by the window...hmmm ano bang magawa?
peaceful dining at Wow Bao..thought I'd try this place...patawa yung tagline nila eh: "Wow Bao: Hot Asian buns" parang iba ang naisip ko nung nabasa ko yon. bwehehhehe.
yummy bao...parang siopao na hindi lang asado or bola bola yung laman...merong teriyaki chicken, bbq pork, atbp. Also had a mongolian beef bowl....pero parang kakaiba pa din yung lasa...kinda spicy...
Dearborn St., waiting for the bus: kawawa naman mga puno..kelan ba kasi mag-spring nang magkabulaklak naman ang mga ito?!?
All About Dance: where I spent my lazy Sunday afternoon... taking my first dance class in chicago... I actually thought I registered to the MTV hip hop I class but when I got there, it was actually MTV hip hop II. pero ok lang keri pa din naman...
pasensya na sa quality... "hidden cam" effect kasi i'm not sure kung pwede kumuha ng video haha. halos puro paa pero kita pa din naman yung mirror...kung magtataka kayo kung nasan ako, just follow the nike free and the clutsy girl in white shirt. lolz!

Tales of A Commuter Chicago Edition - Week 10 Part 1
They say "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
They say "enjoy your stay here and soak in the culture."
Ironically, the one thing that I enjoy is not their culture. The Nihon culture. And I don't know if that's even what the Romans in this city do.
But I don't care. whatever. It keeps my mind close to home.
What I like about this place is that you can easily get cool japanese stuffs. That's why I spend almost every weekend visting Borders. So far, these are the things that I was able to get here and some other stuff I bought with me from Manila. These are what keep me sane.
rows of (organized) manga at borders...
ang ganda magkaron ng bleach collection....ninuninuni
Shonen Jump: the first manga/magazine I bought
Fruits Basket Fanbook Cat: special edition fanbook which is so good and which is something Furuba fans will enjoy. Annjo.... alam ko nang pasalubong ko sa iyo! ^^
These are surprisingly good reads
my Bleach/Naruto toys... talagang dinala ko to sa luggage ko. Makes me smile whenever I see 'em
Not really Japanese, but got this from Borders too.

Tales of a Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 9
Brides For A Cause: Brides Against Breast Cancer
I love it when I go to a city and experience something unique, something that is not usually done by many (think attending a Japanese convention in Baguio). And this weekend, I got to have that experience here in Chicago.
Since February, Khandice was so excited about this charity bridal fair where they sell cheap bridal gowns (cheap in dollar standard but not in my divisoria standard. hehe). The event was scheduled March 7 and 8. So last Friday after work, Khandice with 4 of her friends - Anne, Raqs, Mags, me - went to the Brides Against Cancer event at Wyndham Hotel.
After spending 2+ hours trying on wedding gowns, Khandice (with the approval of everyone in the event) purchased her wedding dress.
After grabbing the dress and a couple of cheesecake lollipops, cookies and freebies, we agreed on helping clear up the place in exchange for free volunteer t-shirts ^^. So we sorted the dresses that were in the dressing room, arranged them and brought them back to the racks for it to be ready for the next morning. When we've finished and about to leave, the event coordinator Fran, said she have a problem and presented us a deal. Apparently, she lacks enough volunteers for the next day and said if all five of us can help them clear up on Saturday, she'd refund 100% of Khandice's dress. Imagine our shock and excitement -- the possibility of having the $770 gown for free! Everyone agreed on it!
So Saturday we were the Brides Against Breast Cancer volunteers... We spent 6 hours sorting through heavy gowns, closing zippers, putting 25 dresses per rack - and there were around 50 racks in that ballroom. What left us sane were Maika coming to pick her dress, having pictures taken, and Anne, Raqs and Mags also fitting gowns. I was the official photographer. At 8 pm, after putting gowns in zipper bags, protecting the racks with tarps, moving them outside in the cold to the trailer, we left the event. We were dead tired but it was all for a good cause. It was an effort to help breast cancer patients and of course to help Khandice get that dress for free. ^^

Tales of a Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 8
As time goes by, I notice that the bloopers are going by as well. duh. As if naman posible yon!?! Anyhow, wala naman akong highlight na blooper...sige na nga random thoughts from the 2 weeks that passed na lang:
Random thought #1:
I now officially love Borders. Yung cool na bookstore. ^_^ I went to buy magazines na bilin ng boss ko when I saw and bought a copy of the 2008 NBA All-Star commemorative book/magazine and the March 2008 copy of Shonen Jump! Shonen Jump just happened to be a compilation of the coolest manga: Naruto and Bleach. Meron ding One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh GX and so much more. And the best part is walang tax ang magazines! Now I know where I'm a gonna spend my moolah. hihihihi ~_~
Random thought #2:
Thursday 2/28 - This is our February code build so the guys are all huddled in the huddle room (?) para daw quicker communication ek ek. Tapos yung mga kasama ko bigla na lang nagkwe-kwentuhan ng mga chicks...So what am i supposed to do? Eh di pangiti-ngiti lang ako. Sobrang nahihirapan ako kasi pilit kong itinatago ang tunay kong kulay (mahirap magpa-innocent ha!) pero hindi ko din natiis! Ang ending, napapahirit na ako at nagugulat na sila. Mokong kasi sila eh, they provoked me. bwahahahaha!
Random thought #3:
Suns Fall to 2-4 Since Shaq Trade. 'nuff said. =(
Random thought #4:
Perhaps the biggest feat since I came here. Today I was able to upgrade the firmware of my PSP! Yatta! I updated my FW from 3.71 M33 to 3.90 M33. Thanks to na2r for the guidance and steps. =) Hindi ko sya na-brick! I'm not sure if people would understand how big of a deal that is, but that's great. ^_^ hehe. I'm now officially 1-0 with FW upgrades. Yey!

Tales of a Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 6
Week 6 Day 1: Blooper of the Day
Ena strolling into the office in the morning....
American co-worker: Hi Anna! What's up?
Ena: Hey Henry! The sun's up!
American co-worker: Huh? What?
Note to self: Pinoy jokes are just that. For Pinoys.
@#@$#%$@#$%^ ayan kasi nagpipilit pang mag-joke eh iba nga ang sense of humor dito. duh!?
==================== @@@@ =================
EDIT: 8:38PM
Blooper of the night:
Hindi nakakatawa kasi masakit pero siguro sa mga nakakita sa akin, funny. Eh kasi naman mabagal na nga ako maglakad but it still happened! BLAG! Akala ko sa pelikula lang nangyayari yung nadudulas sa snow sa sidewalk...pwede din pala sa totoong buhay.
My wrist hurt. And I think I'm sore. =(

Tales of a Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 4
Aba akalain mo yun, it's my 4th week already pero 2nd blooper blog ko pa lang! It's a miracle!
Random bloopie #1:
Kanina nasa Lower Level (LL) ako magpapainit ng baong lunch (don lang may microwave so kelangan talagang bumaba). I'm all alone at walang kasama. Eh di nagmamadali ako, placed my lunchbox in the first microwave that I saw. Press "Cook time". Press time "1:00". Okay.. Okay. Press "Start".. ayaw! aba! Press "Start" ulit. ayaw pa din. Press "Start" one more time. Ayaw pa din. Potek, pinagpapawisan na ako, kahit ang lamig. At madaming mga tao don na di ko kilala. Lipat na lang ako ibang microwave. ayun, gumana naman. bwisit na microwave yon. Pinahirapan pa ako.
Random Bloopie #2:
Last Friday manonood kami ng Matchbox Twenty concert, usapan magkikita ng 5PM sa office lobby. Since work from home, galing ako ng apartment. duh. work from home nga eh. So ayon, I miscalculated the time, ended up leaving the apartment 3mins before 5. I rushed to the bus stop, aba walang bus! kung kelan naman kailangan ko ng bus. I ended up walking/running papuntang office. Okay lang sana di ba?! Sanay naman ako maglakad. Ang kaso nag-snow the night before. Mga tipong 3 inches lang naman yung snow sa side walk. Hmm so medyo ma-snow, madulas pero keri lang. Tapos sa isang intersection, nalinlang ako ng isang gutter..akala ko solid ground...may tunaw na yelo pala. bwahahaha! Basa ang nike free! squish squish.
Random Bloopie #3:
Dati pa to, mga first week ko ata...Gusto ko sana magkape sa pantry. Pero sosyal kasi kape dito..."brewed" kuno. Akala ko tuwing kukuha ka ng kape, kelangan mo mag-brew. so pinindot ko "Brew".Antay ako, wala. Antay pa konti. wala pa din. Alis na lang ako. Pagbalik ko after ilang minutes, nakita ko yung isang babae kumuha ng kape, may pinipindot lang pala don para lumabas yung kape (at take note: di mo na kailangan mag-brew everytime!) geeeshhh

Tales of A Commuter - Chicago Edition Week 1
Sa NAIA pa lang, nagsimula nang bloopers ko. This trip made me realize a lot of things..and one of them is how wimp i truly am. As in....let's start...
Blooper girl galore
Bloop #1: Teary-eyed ena entering the NAIA terminal, looking back at na2r and mama, then grabbed the luggage push cart. But it's not running smoothly. We're looking at the queue and finding out where to line up for check-in. The cart's still not budging. Well, it does but sobrang hirap. Until manong said, "ma'am, you have to push on the handle bar for it to move". Okay, di nya sinabi yun, ina-act nya lang.. hehehe. so ayun naman pala, kelangan pang ganon. ~!@!@!#@
Bloop #2: The one thing I was looking forward in this trip is the Nagoya lay-over. So after the 5-hr flight from Manila, I'm really excited to see Japan, even if I'm only to see the airport. Before going into the connecting flight pre-dept area, we had to once again surrender our things into the X-Ray and the Nihon guy checks our passport and boarding pass. I had my boarding pass printed coz i checked-in online and when i showed it to him, he said "NO". Then I showed my printed airline itenerary/ticket, he said "NO". Ena's thought: "syet syet baka maiwan ako sa japan....okay lang din hehehehe". Then I showed him the boarding pass again, this time opening it and slapped it in his face (well hindi slap pero pinamukha ko sa kanya yung boarding pass), he said "Ah, Yes" whew! that was close.
Bloop #3: One second later, same guy, same place, I'm placing my hand-carry luggage into that little basket for the X-ray. I placed the little pillow that na2r gave me in the basket, he withdrew it and gave it back to me. I held it, placed all the other things into the basket and attempted to go in. Nihon guy practically shouted: " Matte! Matte!" and got the pillow from me. Aba! buti na lang naintindihan ko sya; at sya naman ang nagsoli nung pillow sa akin tapos tatawag-tawagin nya ako. hmph
Commercial #1: Just to show that I so loved the lay-over at Nagoya.....
May children's playground sa airport..madami nito.. kakkoi!
Got lost on the way to the magazine stand. Comments Station, nice!
EVA Air Hello Kitty planes
up close..cute ng Hello Kitty
Myojo Feb 2008 edition with lots of Johnny's boys - arashi, KAT-TUN, kahit hey say jump! sabi ko bibili talaga ako ng mag sa japan, and this is it! XD
Bloop #4: I was installing Chikka while cooking dinner on my second night here. Back and forth ako sa kitchen and living room (which is just 5 steps away), then I got busy with the configuration of Chikka and this is what happened:
burnt dinner. huhu.
Now on to my Wimpness...
Wimp #1: When I arrived in Oakwood, Di ko mabuksan yung mineral water bottle (complimentary of the house), si Khandice pa nagbukas. tsk tsk. Just shows how much I'm dependent of my na2r... x_x
Wimp #2: Nag-plantsa ako ng office clothes tapos di ko masara yung ironing board. hayup naman mga gamit dito sa amerika, hindi wimp-friendly. arrghs!
Wimp #3: Since wala ako room mate and wala din si Khandice, di ko pa din mabuksan yung isa pang mineral water bottle.
Wimp #4: I can't make the can opener work properly! akalain mo yun!?!?! kasi ours at home is so oldie that I can't make the advanced one work. what a shame!
That's my first week....more bloopies and wimpness I bet. =P

Happy New Year!
Happy. New. Year. These words mean so much more to me this year than just simply greeting another year in my life. For starters, 2008 marks the 7th year of the ena and na2r loveteam. This is really something. And something that I am truly grateful for.
Another milestone this year is the trip which had me so excited, dreadful, happy, sad, thankful, wishful all at the same time. The holiday had been a rollercoaster ride in terms of this trip. But finally, the BIG DAY has come. 14 hours from now, I will be off to unchartered teritories, facing the giants that will be my friends and foe for the next six months.
The opportunities and lessons that I received the past year have been really great. And this year, I don't have any new year's resolution but just these simple wishes.
- That no matter how hard the next six months will be, we will get through this uncharred, tougher and stronger than ever.
- That no matter how big the challenges are, I will get through them and kick some caucasian a$$!. lol!
- That we may have the opportunity to get hitch in VEGAS! bwahahahahaha!
===========================================================
Thanks Mommy Ivy for the friendship and the new inaanak! ingat kayo ni baby!
Thanks Rog and Lui for the slumbook! Although this isn't a fancy scrapbook, I really appreciated it and hopefully it won't be ruined by spilt acetone (hehehe)
Thanks Ishy for the wonderful friendship/sisterhood that you've given me/us. You're a truly great girl and I know the challenges that you're experiencing will only make you stronger and much much more wonderful.
*EDIT 1/09/08
Thanks Lui and Rog for the friendship. hahahahah!
===========================================================
Cheers to 2008 and here's to wishing everyone a wonderful, colorful, spanking NEW YEAR!!!
