I'm bored and I was just accused of "apple bombing" RR by one of you.

WTF is apple bombing? Is it like carpet bombing?

Rant: The whole compound of the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas and the Department of Finance does not have any electricity due to a malfunctioned power transformer in the compound which burned much of the electric wires connected to it, leaving the whole compound without electricity for at least a week or two until they're done with repairs. In the confusion that surrounded yesterday (there was no such announcement or ANY sort of contingency plan in the event of such an emergency), we were stuck in the office not knowing what to do, and with our superiors just telling us that we're on stand by until further notice (They were in a meeting outside the compound, we stayed there without power until 2pm, and I arrive for work at 7:30am so you can imagine the amount of boredom). The recent typhoon didn't help either Sad

Basically, all operations just ceased since Saturday (when the transformer malfunctioned). While I've been reassigned to a temporary location somewhere in Makati, close to my home, the parking fee is a total bitch and is easily digging through my wallet (Some of you might know me and aversion to pay-for-parking schemes), making the transfer a mixed blessing. At the moment, there is still confusion on who's assigned to where, so I might get reassigned somewhere else within this time until they're done with repairs to our office.

Rave: Looking back at this thread brings me back to good times Big grin

where exactly were you relocated? Maybe I can visit Salute

Rave: World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Alpha Tests ended - open Beta rumored to be starting soon. Yeah!
Rant: WoW lowered the level req for mounts from 40 to 30. Boo! My character's broke enough as it is.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Lord_Leperman - 07-16-2008

Bankmer building, right in front of the Makati Stock Exchange and Ayala Towers. Pretty close to where Grim works IIRC, though a bit far from RCBC towers if traveling on foot.

I plan to go around after work this Friday if anyone's interested in meeting up. So if you're in the area maybe we can grab a bite or something.

Hey, that is close. I'm in Philam Tower. Yeah, let's have lunch or an after-work meal. Anyone else joining?

And lol@paying for parking. Fortunately my sister gets a few days of available parking at PBCom, so we always park for free. LOL


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - HayWire - 07-16-2008

Late reply: @ azuriel07 TOW is tales of the world Happy

Rave/rant:

Tried out for the intrams(not really sure what intrams means XD; ) in school. Well, choices are volleyball,badminton,table tennis and chess.

I got in for chess XD
its 2 representatives per batch/year

so I'm with another freshman/batchmate(I don't know who coz I had to leave then..) against the other 3 levels in chess o____o...(slightly good news, most people don't care/watch the chess matches)


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Lord_Leperman - 07-16-2008

@ Grim and TS: How about Friday? I'm currently still getting used to the place especially because our files are still being transferred from our old office and everyone (myself included) still hasn't settled down to our new temporary office environment, so things are still currently moving around.

Since TS's sched is pretty different from normal working hours (2pm-10/11pm IIRC), I can meet TS for lunch in G4 (close to the Ayala MRT station, and on the way to your work I presume IF you can get a cab/jeep/FX to RCBC from Glorieta) if he's willing to go there early. Grim, after work sounds fine with me. I get off work at 4:30pm and I'm willing to kill some time in G4 or Greenbelt till you're free. Do you know any place near by that's good (Besides the ones in Greenbelt :p)? Maybe we can invite others in the area like Jake or who else is working in Makati.

How does that sound?

@ Haywire: Do they screen candidates or participants in intrams there? It used to be that anyone who was just willing to participate was allowed to join in whatever sport they like (at least in my high school).

@ cabs: Take pics Tongue

Just let me know what time and where. I don't really want to suggest places because its probably not in your budget for eating out.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Grim - 07-16-2008

Sounds good. Maybe we can all grab a bite at Yellow Cab or Dencio's, or whatever's in G4.

I hear it's full of trash these days. Take care not to slip on a randomly placed soda can or banana peel.

Hrm. Didn't see any trash at all there 2 months ago. The Japanese worship that mound.

Rant: Another penniless week.. Sad


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Lord_Leperman - 07-17-2008

I'm alright with Yellow Cab, or maybe we can just look around for another place to eat when we meet up. Anyway, how does 6:30pm sound in Yellow Cab in G4?

TS, if you're reading this, just text me on Friday. We can meet around 12nn in G4.
