As much as possible, I’d rather not blog about politics. Pero iba ‘to. DIZZZIIZZITTT levels na itong entry ko. Sobra na kasi. Nakakairita na. Sabi nga ng blog title, masabi lang na may project…

Photo above was taken last January 25, 2012. Akala mo nag earthquake sa kahabaan ng Barangay Calzada-Tipas. May kung anong project ang barangay/munisipyo na bagong drainage system. Ngayon, hindi ko malaman bakit kailangan ganyanin na nila yung kalye kaagad. Naiintindihan ko na baka yun ang nakalagay sa contract. KASO.. Hindi ba puwedeng pa-isa isa muna para naman hindi nakakaabala? A week after the said paghuhukay…

Ganito na ang itsura niya. This was taken before I left for work this morning.

Hindi na umusad ang construction. Hanggang diyan na lang. Balita ko may issue daw sa ginamit na bakal…

And what else would you expect from this project? Traffic siyempre!

Dinaig pa nito ang traffic sa Brgy. Tuktukan, specifically sa City Hall and newly opened Puregold.

Sinubukan mag tanong ng magulang ko sa barangay captain if ano/sino ang may pakana nitong proyekto na ‘to. Unang sagot niya, di niya alam.. kesyo sa munisipyo daw. Uhmm FYI lang ha, kamag-anak namin yung kapitan (di kami close. walang personalan ‘to, trabaho lang).. pero para sabihin niyang wala siyang alam/di siya connected sa project na ‘to.. @#!@#!@$!@#%*)&*(%~@!@$!#%@$^$%*^&$%^@#$%&&)^*%#^@#$!@#!@$#.

Tinanong ko nanay ko kung kailan matatapos ang project, sa katapusan pa daw. ANO BA YAN. Ano ba namang klase yan. PAKI EXPLAIN NAMAN PLEASE, para di ako nag c-complain. Semi affected kasi kami sa walang hiyang butas na yan. Hindi na makapag-park sa bahay dahil nga walang dadaanan. Mabuti na nga lang at may ibang lugar kami na puwede mapaglagyan ng sasakyan. Paano na lang yung iba na wala? San nila ilalagay sasakyan nila? Hindi nakakatuwa, promise!

Marami pang tanong tungkol sa project na ‘to:

1. Bakit putol ang pag-gawa ng drainage? Selected areas lang ng barangay.
2. Saan lalabas yung tubig na dadaloy sa drainage?
3. Bakit manipis na bakal ang gagamitin sa drainage? Balita ko dapat mas makapal diyan.

At marami pang iba. So kung sino ka man na nagpauso nitong project na ‘to………

Ever since Gemini (also known as the Blackberry Curve) arrived almost 3 years ago, told myself that I will never ever upgrade this unit. Why? ‘Coz I’m happy with it. And besides, its my first ever Blackberry. I am very loyal and sentimental like that. I don’t care if I only get EDGE/GPRS so as long as its in good condition and gets the job done. But before the holidays, I noticed that my battery gained a little weight. According to my twitter friends, my battery is bloated, old and needs to be replaced asap.

I searched online for replacement batteries since I was really busy during the holidays and had no extra time to go around the malls just to get one. Stumbled upon Analema, they have positive feedbacks in Sulit. Their Multiply looks legit and not the scammer type plus they’re located in Taguig so its easy for me to pick up items there.

I placed my order through Multiply last January 5 and paid via Paypal. It took them 2 days to confirm my payment/release the battery (unlike other trusted sellers , they ship out items once paypal payment’s confirmed) which is a little hassle in my part ‘coz I badly needed the battery asap.

2 days after paying, sent them SMS asking if I could pick up my order. Had to wait for another hour ‘coz they’ll have to confirm the payment with Multiply. After nun, they gave me go signal to pick up the item. So here’s the battery I ordered, it looks and feels a little fake/class A to me. What do you think? You be the judge.

My battery from Globe vs. the darkver version from Analema.

Forgot to encircle the serial code part. As for the text, they’re the same.

The battery from Analema has red x marks.

Top from Globe. Bottom from Analema. The texture of Analema’s rougher than Globe.

Or course the chismosa in me had to ask why the item looks fake:

Jill didn’t answer my question. What do you mean by standard anyway?

According to their terms & condition, no warranty for for accessories. So I replied and asked if they allow replacements and Jill replied:

Hi! Our accessories po are original. Furthermore we check the perfect condition of the items before delivery. Batteries are tested and expected to work. But we have no warranty for it or any accessories as the performance is affected by the use. However, you can expect quality, even though we have no specific warranty for it.

Uhmm. Sige na nga. I should’ve gotten this battery na lang, at least its from Globe, mas cheap pa.

P.S. I decided to use the battery. Sayang naman eh. Dedma na lang siguro, nandiyan na eh. May this entry serve as a little warning for those who plan to buy from the store.

Another milk tea shop opens in my home town, Bonifacio Global City Taguig! Milk tea definitely is still IN for 2012. They’re like mushrooms sprouting all over the place. But I will not complain, I love Chatime. For me, they have the best pearl milk tea in town! I love mine 30% less sugar and with less ice.

Its near St. Lukes, located at the back of the newly opened Mercury Drug.

I love the interiors, simple lang.

Last December, one of my good online friends Kym went home for vacation. So as usual, the makapal in me asked if she can bring home  some goodies from the US. Met up with Kym and her BFF Patrice for some early dinner in Kitchen Greenbelt 3.

Here’s Patrice with Kym.

Kym suggested I order Sword In, pan-fried prawns with crab fat sauce.

Wait, they’re actually not prawns. Small prawns! Haha. I enjoyed this dish, nabusog ako. Aligue pa lang ulam na. Sana they add kahit mga 2 more pcs. of shrimp. Can’t wait to go back and order this again.

After eating, I met their twitter friend Vito. I love it, ‘coz Vito is gay. Mabuhay lahat ng beckies sa mundo! We went to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for short chikahan.
