This morning...... Kevin Te told me and Karl that he heard one of the radio stations say that Michael Jackson's dead. We didn't believe him. We laughed, we even joked that KT was gullible to the radio station. We couldn't believe that he was gonna die. It was just damn impossible hearing the words MJ and dead in one sentence. Xcept when not is in the middle.

Well....... We were wrong. KT was right.

We didn't believe him till snacks came and someone from class (Jessica was it?) said that he was dead. I was just shocked to hear it.

R.I.P. muhn........ we'll miss you

The Microwarehouse Convention was held at Silver City today
The Convention was full of muhns who were suppliers from different companies like Apple, Cisco and Belkin.

I woke up at 5:45 am to go to church and attend to my duties afterwards.
I went back home at around 9:00 to eat Breakfast. My Parents and I left the house at around 10:00. My mom was dropped off at SM Hypermart to do some grocery shopping.
My Dad invited me yesterday to come with him to the convention, cuz he was gonna get my sister's new "Ipod Nano 4G".

When we arrived at the convention. A lot of booths were still closed. My dad had this special pass to get in the convention. He told me that the items in the convention had discount prices. Which is a good opportunity to buy good gadgets. He also told me that he got my DS (which had a 70% discount) from Microwarehouse's suppliers who was one of his clients. So when we got inside he just told me to look around and see if you find something good.

What I saw inside were people selling Cameras, Ipods, Ipod Accesories, Laptops, Sound Systems, Cellphones, Laptop Bags and Apple Softwares in Discs. I saw a Macbook Pro that had
"Before: Php 100,000 and Now: 55,000"......... they nearly took 50% OFF THE ORIGINAL PRICE!!!

So after a few minutes looking to nearly all of the booths. I asked my dad if he got my sister's Ipod already. He said that his "supplier" left it at his office, and he might just sell it to him tommorow. Then he asks if there was anything good that we can get from the convention.
I told him bout the lady that showed me a Charger that "Charges Your Ipod when connected to a socket (a.k.a. saksakan)". I saw one and it costed Php 1,800........... its expensive for that item so i told him that we'll just look outside the convention.
Then he shows me this giant sound system for the Ipod that costs over Php 15,000...... thats TOO MUCH for a sound system......... So I show him a small sound system that looks like a "boom box" thats Php 1,300. The original price was Php 6,900. Its either powered from an electric socket or 4 AA batteries, which runs out after a few hours.

So we buy 2 (one from me and my sister) then I saw one of the features that said
"Charges Your Ipod When Connected".......... w8 a second.......... the charger i mentioned earlier does that and it costs more than the sound system.
"a charger with one feature for 1,800 ; a sound system with more features that can also charge an Ipod for 1,300"
" Less for More; More for Less"
I almost got RIPPED OFF by that lady who showed me that charger....... so I was glad i didn't buy it. Anyhow, I didn't see the whole convention since a lot of booths were still closed.
After buying the sound systems, we picked up Mom from Hypermart and went home.

Anyways..........
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, people consider June 12 as INDEPENDENCE DAY in the Philippines
well, INC members consider the same

Today, was also the 3rd anniversary of the day the district of Metro Manila South was created in the Iglesia Ni Cristo dominion.
To celebrate it, several locales in the district of Metro Manila South created the "Siglaro 2009"
which is basically a term for "sportsfest".
It was held at the PhilSports Complex or Ultra.

We woke up at 5 am to get to Ultra early because the assembly time was scheduled at 5:30 am. When we got to Ultra the parade of locales started. Ads (Adrian) and his family were up the stage since his parents were part of the commitee who organized the sportsfest.
Several locales including:
Bel-Air - Ads lokal
Ilugin - My lokal
De Castro - Christell's lokal
and many more were around the track field in Ultra

After the parade was an opening prayer, followed by the passing of torch (the flame in the torch was very small and hard to see from afar). The Oath of Sportsmanship followed.
After the oath........ Ka. Homer (Tagapangasiwa ng Distrito) opened the sportsfest with a speech.
The games were played on different locations. The Games that were played included Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Table Tennis, Board Games, "Fun" Games and the 100,200 and 400m dash in the track field.

My family and I headed straight to the basketball court to watch teams compete. What we didn't know was that they were just all Exhibition Games and no awards in Basketball were to be presented. The commentary during the basketball games was entertaining since he kept on having violent reactions when a foul or a shot is commited.

After the 2nd basketball game. My family left the ringside seats to watch the other games in the track field. I left the basketball area around 12:30 pm since I needed to buy lunch. I went back the to basketball area but found out that some family took our seats. I went to ADS family at the stage to eat my lunch.

After eating my lunch, I accompanied Pat and ADS' sister to the basketball area to watch another game. When we went to check our old seating, the family was gone. So we just took the seats and watched 3 more basketball games b4 my Dad's team were to compete against Kadiwa (members 18 and above who are'nt married yet) members.

After the 3rd last game, several INC members from lokal of De Castro gave us a short dance number. We did'nt expect that the dance was a form of street dancing. But they were impressive. The crowd gave them a huge standing ovation after the performance.

the last 2 games b4 our Dad's team was to compete looked like a re-enactment of the UAAP Finals between ADMU and DLSU since team 1 and team 2 wore green and blue jerseys.
The first game was a tie and "DLSU" won game 2.

Finally, after 3 straight games, my dad's team was ready to compete against the Kadiwa team
in what looked like another re-enactment, this time between the Orlando Magic and the LA Lakers. My dad's team won with a score of 41-46.

Everyone left the basketball arena and ADS wanted to challenge us to a 200 m dash at the track meet. So we went straight to the track and raced. I easily defeated ADS, Pat and Audrey in the dash. After which, my parents told us that were ready to leave. So after a few "goodbye's" and "see ya's" we all left Ultra.
