Was able to score some free second level seats for the game thanks to the company. Game was a bit slow (as are all baseball games i think) but the free thundersticks and booze gave us enough entertainment. Toronto won all the way to the 9th inning. http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/29/Blue_Jays_Game Fri, 23 May 2008 03:49:06 -0000 dahil naisipan kong bumili nang condenser mic para mag record, sinibukan ko muling magtawag nang ulan. this is one of my few tagalog compos, at dahil gaya gaya ko kay johannes, inembed ko na rin yung kanta along with the blog/entry.

James (the christmas elf volunteered to be the captive for our little snowball destressing session.. We didn't wanna grab snowballs all the way from King street so we got a little creative instead... http://iansales.multiply.com/video/item/5/Office_Holiday Sun, 23 Dec 2007 01:52:28 -0000 Or should I say... snowstorm day! Tis my first time to experience a snowstorm, and man.. was it crazy. Was about a feet and a half of snow within 12 hours. But then again, it was pretty enjoyable. The snow was still fairly soft and you'd literally just want to jump into the street and fall all over it. The shoveling part kinda sucked though. That took a http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/17/Snow_day Tue, 18 Dec 2007 04:51:09 -0000 Got to catch Bamboo with Jayjay and Caloy (ka jam ko every now and then dito sa toronto).

Ang lawak kasi nang Massey http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/16/Bamboo_Massey_Hall Tue, 18 Dec 2007 04:29:44 -0000 I start work on the 24th. :-) <br><br>This means I have to enjoy every second's worth of my 9 hour sleep, invert my highly nocturnal sleeping habits, slowly phase out my slang, actually unpack my dress shirts from the basement, brush up my memory skills (including face/name recognition), brush up my office etiquette, practice saying "Yes sir, I'm on it.", and basically prepare myself for at least a month's worth of lectures/orientations/and OJTs.<br><br>*_*<br><br>I seriously hope I chose the right company.

I don’t want to be all that crazy. I think I’m already past that age. I just want something simple. Good people, good laughs, good conversations, and something new. And that about sums up today. Nice night out with cousins and relatives in Greektown, Toronto. Had the best Lamb Souvlaki in a nice restaurant called Astoria (which apparently was top rated among the restaurants in that strip).. then coming home, Tita Au baked me 23 chocolate cookies as the night marked my twenty third year. &nbsp;:-)</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The greetings (thank God for facebook!) &nbsp;and the phone calls also made my day! Somehow I didn’t feel so away from everyone. It was nice!&nbsp; :-) If I can actually magically summon them to my room right now I probably would. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Might be a fire hazard though. &nbsp;Heheh.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Anyways, so I’m a year older. Am I really any older? I don’t know. Probably not. I want to be a kid at heart! I want to be those just like those old geezers ... http://iansales.multiply.com/journal/item/12/23 Thu, 6 Sep 2007 03:48:00 -0000 <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/Rs4tbQoKClIAAEdjZvc1"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/Rs4tbQoKClIAAEdjZvc1"><img style="width: 145px; height: 110px;" class="alignright" src="http://images.iansales.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rs4tbQoKClIAAEdjZvc1/IMG_2555.JPG?et=8yjnjPLpqFHMDEQVReqENA" border="0"></a>I got my first parking ticket yesterday. Ever. Day 22 in this new country and I already get an infraction from the court justice of Toronto!&nbsp;&nbsp; Damn.&nbsp; I’m such a criminal. &nbsp;Seriously though, this is what happens when you get too used to suburban parking in sunny California . I blame Cali. That’s right! Not the fact that I chose to play PS2 the rest of last night and forgot I was supposed to move the car off the street @ 11PM..</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, that’s another 30 bucks down the drain. Dammit, I need a job!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I really am looking though. It’s just that there’s so much I haven’t explored yet, and I feel like I haven’t caught the street’s beat yet. Alam mo yon. Parang get to feel you’re surroundings…. Ok fine fine, palusot na kung palusot. My aunt’s house is close to a major street called Danforth Ave, and along it are countless “mom and pop” kinda shops of all sorts and sizes. Pagnababato ako nilalakad ko na lang.

Yung Halaga saka Sampip cover lang. (mejo paos pa nga boses saka mejo sabog piano) but oh well. Indie naman ako. mwahahaha. Enjoy. :-) (more to follow) P.S. may nalimutan akong verse sa Halaga, will try to record a better non-paos one pag may time. in the meantime, pag tiyagaan na muna yan. P.P.S. i have uploaded some of them on my soundclick page so you can view the lyrics. just copy and paste this link: http://iansales.multiply.com/music/item/74/New_Recordings Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:00:59 -0000 Summarized version. Ang dami kasing pics kaya dinecide ko na lang i combine lahat. After having lunch and dinner with relatives from both sides of the family, we went downtown again and then hopped on a ferry to the Toronto Islands with Tita Aurora. (we only covered Wards and Centre because the other big one had a nudist beach..) I'll just let the pics and the captions tell the story.. http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/15/The_Islands_and_Beyond... Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:51:14 -0000 The weather was perfect for some BBQs and Vitamin D so Tita Rose took us to the less populated and cleaner beaches in Toronto. Sauble Beach apparently was one of the best in the province. It's a bit on the far end of the countryside but it was worth the drive. Para na ring Ocean Beach sa Norcal. :-) Siguradong babalikan to. http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/14/Sauble_Beach Sun, 12 Aug 2007 05:45:34 -0000 we decided to hit Niagara days after we entered Canada (even though it is the first thing you see once you cross the border) Anyways, seeing it from the Canadian side was spectacular indeed. http://iansales.multiply.com/photos/album/13/Niagara Sun, 12 Aug 2007 05:09:11 -0000
