Nakuwento ko na ba sa inyo ang aking toy?

I know its our company's product.. i launched it, introduced it to the public and spent almost the last of my sanity to bring it to the Philippines..

but i am raving about it now because i really am enjoying using it. I actually bought this as a personal gift to self from a duty free shop in TW, this is not an english version, your eyes will be muddled with a lot of gibberish characters (papuhmuhfa) on the keyboard.. its black, its 8 gig.

this kind of pc has a special place in my heart.. i had a libretto about 7 years ago and it was my sanity keeper during my first year of independence (i stayed in an apartment alone with just a ref, a mattress, (my tv was just via a PC tv tuner) and washing machine.



(our blog setup.. BBs lappie, Bien's eee, my PC.. together we will blog our adventures for 2008.)
my eee pc, to help me organize my 2008 plans..
i am giving up my pda..
i had a good pda run that lasted for 13 years (da vinci, palm m100, palm V, palm m105, my pal , hp 1121 (?) :)

any takers? just give me a ring.

My Name is Jose Angel Bernal

a year and a day since BB and my son Bien first blogged over the net. and today, we have finally decided on my name. JOSE ANGEL BERNAL. the weird thing about it is, the name fits me since day 1 BB researched about Gael and his dad (Gael is as you know Bien's carnal persona.) Jose, is BB's maternal grandfather's name, Jose Espejo, and she always had this uber link with him even if he died when she was two..

at a super young age, she has been rummaging a lot of his grandfather's stuff from the garage, her treasure trove homebased ukay which started her thirst for technology, old, art, trivia.. a super 8 cam, a super vintage mic, a tape reel, old LPs, an old kodak cam etc. etc. he was BB's first "uncle travelling mat" adventurer, he shared himself to BB not with postcards but via the things he left behind.. she can be left hours upon hours with ipis infested boxes not afraid of playing alone, dirty hands and assembling stuff without manuals.


My name is Jose Angel Bernal

(i almost had a controversial name.. i am glad i got my name from a man with balls.. :P)

Bernal boys: The reunion

BB's just too tired to tell you the whole story.. it was fate who pulled her to my daddy.. Taiwan stories soon.. I just need to cuddle :)

BB is usually just not into shopping, especially in tiangges and night markets.. you can see her there for the first time adventure, an errand or to accompany friend. This time is no different, she accompanied a colleague first time in Taiwan.

Shilin, BB goes there for stinky tofu and her fav fried chicken and if office dismisses early, no option for nightlife and all the malls are already closed. And she's done with shopping plus the trauma of last year's accident left not a love affair for BB and shilin. So.. going thru the shilin experience again was no longer an adventure in fact it was hohum, plus this was the 2nd time in a 7 day period. Already gone thru the shopping haven (tho the first shilin day had a good adventure moment -- it was quiapo taipei style side story : BB and colleague was walking and window shopping along the stalls, and eskinitas of shilin. It had structured shops and roving ones like that of baclaran and divisoria, the people and products traffic was a jam, but within seconds, commotion! the roving stores "rove", packed up and cleared up. My colleague was almost got run over (but he was a big guy, he was just in the the way of a cariton after a lost in translation moment, they finally understood in panic language. So i had experienced RAID in taipei, hehe i have been a veteran of this PH style since i often go to quiapo and baclaran. i had a nice giggle watching while waiting for my size in a sport shoes shop. ) We already passed thru this starbucks since BBs colleague needed to number 1 first time, here BB was again at the spot waiting for him to have his starbucks pee again. Last time, she just waited patiently, but this time BB realized that the shop next door was familiar, super familiar she went straight to the 3rd floor and saw HIM! The showdog! This is the first shop BB bought her first 2 showdogs last year (she actually checked out 3 shops to complete the 10 showdog pasalubong) and here she saw ONE big showdog waiting! lonely and JUST THERE!

I am sure BB's colleague got worried a while not seeing BB outside the cafe, but then he saw BB with the biggest smile in the world at the register waiting for her turn to pay.

Showdogs have a nice way to pop-up in BBs life.
