Eragon

Bought a copy of Eragon. The book has caught my eye before but I was not inclined to buy it. Thought I'd read it now as I hear there's a movie being made on the novel.

Earthquakes in Indonesia

Felt bad this Friday so was on sick leave. On Sunday, an earthquake was felt in Indonesia.

I was feeling bad again today and didn't go to the office. Later learned another tsunami hit Indonesia.

Am I really sensitive to weather changes and shifts in the earth's crust?

Probably. Probably not.

Typhoon Florita

Typhoon Florita brought floods and interrupted cable service today. Thing to note: I had the runny nose and headache this Monday and was actually on sick leave. Pardon me if I chose to chronicle these incidences. It's the repetition of the coincidences that will eventually determine if my theory that those headaches/sneezing fits are related to the monsoon rains/tropical depressions.

New working hours

My work hours now are from 8:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Hope it improves my attendance record :-)

Rockwell on a Friday Night

Wasn't able to get a ticket to a special screening of Superman Returns at the IMAX theater of SM Mall of Asia when Standard Chartered gave them away last Wednesday. When another batch of tickets were given yesterday to Milette by another counterparty, this time for a special screening in Rockwell, I was fortunate to get two.

Met with Jon after work and we took a taxi to Rockwell. Traffic was bad ... realized later that some roads were blocked to give room to Makati's celebration of a fiesta. When the mall was within sight, we paid the fare, got out of the cab and walked the rest of the way.

Getting a taxi out of Rockwell proved to be hard too as there were many of us rushing to get a cab at the late hour. Did a lot of walking towards EDSA before we got one. We got off at EDSA Ayala and took a bus home. It was probably past midnight when we got home.
