after buying bangie, i've recently acquired and discovered something. i am a shoe person. i love bags but i find it easier to buy shoes plus changing bags daily or even weekly is tedious, hard work and dangerous. i don't like changing bags because i often misplace things or forget things to bring. and i can't take care of my bags well. so far, the dark green Longchamp is sturdy but with hints of

what a project right? i was not into this zap-your-unnecessary-hair-permanently before. maybe slightly because of the budget. i was happy shaving legs and armpits occasionally..as needed, when wearing shorts and dresses and sleeveless tops. recently, a friend advised me to just have them waxed. the hairs will grow thinner then, just schedule laser sessions to permanently remove them. hmmm.. wax

weekend blues

2011-05-30T02:01:00.002+08:00

blues not necessarily means sadness. SATURDAY birthday after french class, i went straight to tatay cesar's kids' birthday. yep, 2 kids of our officemate cesar, who we fondly call tatay because he's the only parent in the circle of friends (since we were still in eastwood). except of course orvin but cesar was closer to us somehow. anyway, clyde turned 1 and chloe turned 4. his wife cindy was

i went to the CR around 5-6pm with my phone. i didn't realize that i left it in the cr was around 630 to 7 as we were about to buy food for dinner.

new tv series that caught my interest

2011-05-25T02:04:00.000+08:00

i love AXN and all their tv series. here are the "new" ones that easily became my faves. - hawaii five-o this was a revival of an old series named as what it is now. but they have revamped the cast -- dapat lang! the old stars must be in their last decade. it's in hawaii and the stars are like cops but are called hawaii five-o, not sure why because they are only 4 main characters. but their

yesterday was a feel-good day. - i woke up early than usual, bought cheeseburger meal and a coffee from mcdonalds' and got to class before the teacher. i was able to do the other half part of the homework before she arrived. we were only 3: thelma, suzette and me as her students. jake was still busy finishing his final paper. we covered a lot of topics but we did not check the assignment -- which

nevermind. i'm unreasonable. i'm sleepy. i shouldn't have said what i suggested in the previous blog! i am making my own problems. i am imagining things. i am blowing things out of proportion -------- did i say it right? =)) gamit gamit pa kasi ng ganyang words. anobeh. let's just stick to paris and photography for the moment. grrrrr... this is the feeling i had when the gas boy put SUPER

he needs to check into a mental hospital! =))

2011-04-23T23:10:00.000+08:00

this is the only way i can get back at him! =)) on a serious note, it just means, it is hard to have a pilosopo brother. it is hard to have a brother who loves words and someone who is studying law. he needs to have HIS time to SAY his argument. if not, he'll go crazy and show tantrums that can make any mother cry. too much drama! we are sorry we forgot to text you and did not notice the time.

2011-04-22T23:30:00.004+08:00

finally found the songs that have been lingering in my thoughts and eardrums. starworld has been playing them before to advertise a bigfish clubbing event called hedkandi series. or something like that. i didn't give it much notice until i did not hear it again. i did not know the titles so i tried searching for bigfish in facebook, youtube, google, etc. i found "the one" by swedish house mafia.

balikbayan jumbo box on a motorcycle!

2011-04-20T01:04:00.003+08:00

as i was driving to the office, some man on a motorcycle really got me interested. with the traffic along east avenue, the heat of the mid-day sun and the incompatibility of the package versus the transportation, nobody knows why he (or she!) and the driver they travelled this way. so dangerous! let's just pray they reached their destination without any mishaps. that man must have had a stiff

decisions, taxes

2011-04-19T00:30:00.000+08:00

my friend verly and her husband, ramil are now buying their new car, a vios -- brand new from toyota. and they are also expecting another child soon (still to be confirmed by a doctor because they only took a pregnancy test kit). it has been easy for them to make decisions because they know where they are and what they can do and should do. a honda car maybe out of the question since gas prices

new blog look

2011-04-18T00:21:00.001+08:00

This weekend was for relaxing. after class yesterday, i bored jake by shopping at forever 21. i said he can even set a timer so we can go home after an hour of shopping. of course, the patient jake did not and let me be happy. at first we tried to search for the mega trade hall but did not find any travel fair. instead, we found some small seller's fair. and i was able to buy a pair of slippers

french smurfs and tin-tin!

korean spicy noodles

2011-04-06T01:32:00.004+08:00

i smelled something yummy across the office floor. it was my officemate (charms chammag, thanks!) who sits in front of me with wall blocking our view but certainly not this smell. i just had lunch at home but i wanted to eat again. next thing i know, i was downstairs and looking for it in mercury drug. i had to call and ask where to buy it because i can't see it in mercury. so, it was available

kayenne lady at 1600 pesos. hier, on est allé à la piscine. jake and i had our afternoon and evening full. after french class, we tried to have the flat tire vulcanized (yes, i got a flat tire last thursday and two drivers of our foreigner bosses helped me change the tire). but kuya vulcanizer said, it could not be fixed as it is already oblong. tsk tsk. since we were planning to swim that night

tv monde

2011-03-30T00:27:00.009+08:00

look at channel 74! available if you have the skycable digibox!i was able to watch for a very short time TV5 monde. it is a channel famous in our french books and recently found it was a real channel on tv. in fact, it is one of the channels in skycable -- channel 74. we discovered this just this march as we were browsing channels in the tv of our room. (*wink* =j ) it was on a different cable

sereniTEA: hokkaido tea

2011-03-29T00:03:00.007+08:00

There is a new trend in town! drink tea! there is a vendor SERENITEA which sells a lot of different teas in hot or iced variants. medium is their smallest but which i find similar to a grande starbucks. i ordered hokkaido medium with 75% sweetness. it was good. and it is a good start to get addicted to teas. i had 1 last week and another 1 this week. price is 95 pesos which is better than the 120

free parking every other week

2011-03-28T00:27:00.004+08:00

remember i told you about the free parking recently restricted to lucky "important" employees? a few weeks after, nGa management decided to share these parking spaces to seniors. fair enough. they will give car passes - 3 per parking slot. i quickly asked cesar to be a partner since he has coding on tuesdays and does not bring a car on that day. "my car's" coding is on fridays but i still bring

home accessories: candles and oils

2011-03-27T17:53:00.006+08:00

2011-03-27T01:40:00.005+08:00

i found out a week ago, my 21 year old cousin is preggers. imagine, 21 years old and you are carrying a baby! and when the baby is born, more responsibilities. so young still and could not enjoy life as single!mama told me at first that my cousin is to get married. this may 2011. and my first reaction was... "what?! naunahan pa nya ako!" hahaha. and i wondered eventually why so sudden? why rush

i miss you terribly.whenever i am alone, i always think of you. i cannot believe you are not here with us anymore =( i miss you! i haven't cried much in your wake and not as much tears as that during lolo's interment compared to yours. but i feel like crying all these times whenever i remember you. i try to remember when you were still here. i could still touch your crinkled skin and see your

creativity: perfect cup of coffee

2011-02-09T18:52:00.002+08:00

i was browsing in a website and i was amazed by this photo. it was made by nathaniel gilera hayag as written in the watermark. cool guy! i must say i'm impressed though the font and font color of the text could have been better. i wish i could think of these ideas and execute it perfectly. another person i admire is ramir recinto (jake's officemate) -- he really is very creative when it comes to

office parking space

2011-02-08T13:00:00.004+08:00

yesterday, HR sent an email about a notice from the ETON building's admin. i was unhappy with the news that the free parking is now allocated to certain people and of course, other companies renting the building. i did not now it until i read my inbox so today I ignored kuya guard who seems to ask me to stop earlier and ask it. but since he did not follow me to my car, i let it go. maybe he's new
