Finally, retribution for the Red team's Level 3 players!

Louie and I won in straight sets against Yellow's Karla and Yane, while Meggy and I were able to win over Karla and Teng in three sets. Yes! :)

You're wondering why I'm so happy? Coz this is our first victory EVER in this tournament. We were really feeling depressed, being the only ones in the team without wins... and Cap Crab made sure we knew it... hehe. We only have 1 more game left (against Blue), but whether we win or lose that one, we're happy we were able to at least bag a victory. :)

That's all for now... I'm beat! Wish us luck for the last game of the tournament, hopefully we'll add another notch in our belts... *fingers crossed*

Oh, and speaking of badminton, the CSA badminton tourney (SmashSun sa CSA) will be on August 26, can't wait, can't wait! But as the day gets closer, so is my OCA exam, scheduled for September 1. I took a mock exam and scored a disappointing 68%. :( Must review...

I've spent the last three days with office buddies Mich and Leslie at the Oracle University, learning Advance PL/SQL. Of course, whenever the 3 of us are together, we're guaranteed to have fun. The learning stuff is just a bonus. :)

So what did we learn? Hmmm.. tons of stuff! Will we be able to apply them? Perhaps. Makes me want to run to the office and look at some codes. I'm such a geek.

The last time we had a training together was two years ago, when we first took up Oracle 9i Forms and Reports. All I can say is, a lot has changed from the first time we attended training. I'm not going to reminisce here, just wanted to mention that, hehehe. :)

Anyway, lately I've taken into watching Rockstar Supernova. I must admit, the rockers are all pretty talented and compared to last year's batch, I think Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted will have a harder time choosing their lead singer. Sadly though, Josh was eliminated last night... :( I really, really like his voice, and his smile... *sigh*.

On the same note, INXS will be performing here in Manila, with frontman JD Fortune. Mig Ayesa will be playing also. Unfortunately though, I don't have tickets.

Anyways, I still owe a Baguio post. Just lazy, no excuses. Next time na lang. :)

Oh, and I sold my Palm already! 1 gadget down, two left... hmmm... I've decided to stall all gadget purchases until next year. Let's see if I can stick to that. Say it with me, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

It's Red vs. Orange in Game 6 of the PalakaSun badminton tourney tonight... Louie and I have yet to capture our first win. :( Hopefully, tonight's the night. *fingers crossed*
