The Seeker read the Book!
2007-10-28 03:46:00
Mariel and I watched a funny movie yesterday, The Seeker. I tried hard to keep watching and stopped myself from going to sleep. Our favorite line is "I am a seventh son of a seventh son, I am the Seeker, I read the book!" - i almost fell off my seat! Will, the main character is a gorgeous kid though and I believe kids will love this movie which has a simple story line, light versus dark.The Manila Comics Seminar was also ongoing yesterday, instead of helping my boyfriend, i spent the whole day with Mariel. From the cinema, we found ourselves in a karaoke room singing hopelessly romantic songs. Somewhere down the Road by Barry Manilow is my favorite song to sing! it's so corny though :)Then to my surprise, the videoke machine showed Kim Ah Joong's music video where she was a mermaid. She's jaw dropping gorgeous, luckily i found the same video on YouTube.My date with Mariel lasted until 10.30pm, i had a great time hanging out with her. I look forward to seeing more of my friends soon.

Somewhere down the road
2007-10-26 17:16:00
are abominable taxi drivers who pretend they don't know where the highway is. Today i met not one but two terrible drivers. The second one kept saying "tsk... tsk... tsk..." as he was driving into my village. I almost ate the first driver who said he was new and pretended not to know where the roads lead to. These drivers just wasted 2 hours of my priceless time and it's a Friday!i can't help but think life served me an emotional salad today. happy now, miserable after a minute, relaxed, and seconds later, devastated. some individuals showed indifference today too. so i just think of the things that lead me to my happy place and they are:- writing and getting better at it.- saving and collecting money.- exploring my new laptop.- rediscovering japanese rock music, Hyde and filling the iPod with his songs.- imagining i have my own planet called Alone, revolving around it is a moon called Silence.- the arrival of new magazines for November and the quest for Writer's Digest.- i thin...

Music for Breakfast
2007-10-20 10:25:00
It's time to clear our heads for the week ahead and listening to some music is one way to do so. Thanks to my colleague who played Third Eye Blind's How's it Gonna Be that I remembered how superb this band was.Now I'm keeping myself busy downloading their songs to the Ipod. I was chatting with my sister last night, who's all the way in Australia. She told me about this band called Rogue Traders, a retro-pop band with a wicked female vocalist. Finding the mp3 is hard but here's a video of their song, Watching You.This week I also caught Kylie Minogue singing his new single Two Hearts. I was agog when I saw the music video. At first I didn't know it was Kylie until the video details were shown in the end.Keep the music playing people :)

F is for Friday and Fun
2007-10-20 03:42:00
To celebrate the end of a great and fulfilling week, I scheduled a night out in Malate to eat and attend the Manila Tonight party. We took the LRT and how i missed Manila! I used to study and work in Taft Avenue and it's been 4 months since I last walked its streets.Strolling in Pedro Gil, a new Robinson's Place Manila appeared in front of my eyes. The mall's structure is more classy, modern, and sophisticated than the old one. Does this mean more high end stores and restaurants? The structure definitely transforms the ambiance and look of Pedro Gil street in Manila.After minutes of walking, we killed some time in an authentic Korean restaurant. Since koreanovelas, i've been curious as why they have plenty of dishes on their tables. Those small plates of appetizers and red hot pot soup are a mystery. Finally I experienced and tasted authentic Korean cooking. And here is my very own feast:Then it's time to par-ty! The Manila Tonight event was being held nearby, in Skorski's bar...

Condo Dreaming
2007-10-12 05:40:00
I never lusted for my own condominium unit until this week, when the traffic in Bacoor Cavite worsened like cancer. Now i can't stop dreaming with eyes wide opened. Imagine, i would just wake up at 6:00am and i can leave at 7:00am and I am at work already. No traffic and most of all, the pleasure of living alone. I can almost feel my feet hitting the ground if i was jogging in the morning in Global City where no dogs would come running after my shorts. Riding the bike encircling the buildings is a good activity too. hay ~And look at this sweet photo of Serendra:I passed there once and noted that the ceilings were bit too low, but I wouldn't mind that when I can take advantage of silence and the wi-fi internet. New restaurants also sprouted in the area.If sleep does not tempt me today, I might visit the area and take my dream up a notch. Of course i won't buy a unit, i bet it's sold out already and i don't even have a buddha-fat bank account yet. Probably the trip there will ins...

Traffic on a Monday
2007-10-08 14:01:00
All the pictures and videos here are taken by me this morning.Bumper to bumper, southbound and northboundI do not know what i did to deserve the traffic this morning! By the time we went out from the village, the car was not moving for two hours. Imagine that, it's really unbelievable! Because we were stuck for almost two hours except for the car moving about 10 inches every 15 minutes, my bladder was almost exploding because i had to hold my pee for that long.People marching towards the highway, getting out of their buses.I got out of the car and joined the frustrated and angry commuters on their march. I was heading to Jollibee where there is a CR. Small sized video of people marchingSomeone told me that a bus flipped over and many were killed by the accident. I haven't seen the news but that is what everybody is saying. The traffic was terrible and impossible. I was very frustrated but someone told me to Never say Die so I continued on my journey to work. I arrived at 10 o...

Susan Miller gives me the Answer

"With Mercury in retrograde, it won't be the right time to buy an electronic item, such as an HDTV, new DVD player, or computer. Browse, compare, but don't acquire your coveted item next month." - Susa n Miller , October 2007 for AquariusThank you very much. The highlight of my day was touching and test-carrying an Acer laptop inside the mall. I was ready to fish my atm card from my wallet to buy what sounds like a one-time limited offer (i still think it is) but i a got a hold of myself and simply walked away. Imagine, i visited all the computer shops in Cyber Zone Megamall after my dental appointment, walking off my anesthesia. All the while i felt like a kid in a candy store, my backpack was filled with price lists which i started to collect last week.Good thing, i checked out Astrology Zone tonight, i do so every month. I was right not to buy a good handy laptop YET. I'll postponed it next month as Mercury is in retrograde this October. Anything can happen and I might even end ...

Savory Mall of Asia
2007-10-05 17:14:00
Last Thursday, I had fun dining at Savory in Mall of Asia . Everything was so yummeh! I heard from fellows that Savory was an old restaurant in Manila, somewhere in Quiapo. Now they opened a branch in a more organized and a bit posh location which is Mall of Asia .You'll be surprised with the taste and price! Delicious Chinese cuisine without service charge and with VAT included already in the prices haha : ) it was so good that no food was left during this shot. Chicken is their specialty but we chose to get daoming pork (reminds me of F4), garlic spinach (surprisingly yummy), and spicy squid (boyfriend's favorite).I also got to meet scooby doo and friends before having dinner. The wind was restless that day and gave us a hard time getting a clear photo.I can't believe how time flies! It's Friday again. weekend could be better if not for my dental appointment tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning. bummer.

Clash of the Gadgets: iTouch, Compaq, and Casio Exilim
2007-09-30 11:42:00
All three are saying: buy me! buy me!If money was no matter, i'd get all of them. At the moment, all i can do is stare at you - my future digital children. The laptop is Compaq C551, which is on sale on most computer shops. The features are known to me because boyfriend has the same laptop that we use at home. Im sick of borrowing so i would like my own : D i like using the laptop because i don't have to be secluded in the computer room. Our house is also wifi enabled and that means i can write and blog anywhere including the kitchen!Recently, i have been using the iPod Nano for travelling and now there's the Apple iTouch which is an iPod with WiFi features and video compatibility. i love it! It's just around Php 15,000 and that must be the retail price - please, don't overprice it here in Manila!This one is long overdue. A new digicam and i prefer Casio Exilim because i've also seen how it took great pictures. There has been a shortage of photos here in my blog because i don...

Grey's Anatomy - Change is Gonna Come
2007-09-29 07:58:00
Grey's Anatomy fans like me painfully waited months for Season 4. The first episode was aired last September 24 and now it's time to start searching the net for episode downloads!!! I missed the hot steaming doctors, especially Meredith. Many fans hate her because she's always the focus of the show but i like her because she knows how to get her men and enjoy them too! : ) all without sacrificing her logic, although sometimes she gets distracted too.Bonus scene Meredith and McDreamy -It's time to wait and see whether who ends up with who. Meredith sister's enters the show too, and that sucks because Mcdreamy seems to have the hots for her sister. How weird is that? Go, go, go Meredith! pull her hair and stick the scalpel to her head, do anything to keep Mcdreamy yours. hahaha :) If all else fails, just look for another doctor.Want to see the episode? Simply comment on this post and i'll make your wish come true :)

Boisterous Thursday
2007-09-27 13:37:00
I just want to share how i dream of coming home to a quiet, serene, and clean flat. I've been experiencing noisy days again in my household. While i was eating dinner, the conversation revolved around world news again - bad news.One time we were browsing houses on the internet, and now I can't help but imagine coming home to one of those houses with indoor swimming pools. Best of all, I imagine myself being ALONE in that house. quiet, and i'll just listen to my mp3 collection, or read magazines to enrich my words.Even the dogs here are noisy! I want the quiet days back. Anyway, i'll just curl up in my room and sound proof it by shutting the door.Good night! :)

I Know who Killed Me
2007-09-22 04:05:00
Be careful of psychopaths!Starring Lindsay Lohan, i just had to watch this movie at the cinema. Been waiting for it to be shown here in Manila and last week, i felt like i won the lottery when I saw I Know who Killed Me posted in Now Showing. There were no ads so I was really surprised.We didn't know what to expect from the movie, aside from Lindsay's pole dancing which I was also excited about. I reminded my boyfriend "this is not Mean Girls or Freaky Friday, this is a suspense movie"."my second dream job" But even from knowing that, i found myself too petrified and shocked when the movie started. Firmly holding my arm rest, i forced my eyes to watch some of the gory and violent scenes which i understand are essential to the plot.Moving forward with the movie, I caught myself puzzled and subconsciously guessing on what really is going to happen. The movie gave me an enjoyable ride and the creeps! What if i accidentally go with a psychopath dude and he cuts me into pieces. Ouch!

AEGIS band
2007-09-16 06:27:00
It was great to see them perform in ASAP variety show. Yeah! I sincerely adore this band since highschool. I got teased for it and almost everyday my classmates would ask me to sing it in front of the class just to delay the teachers :) Of course i sang all the time with the cd cover in tow ^^The two singers Juliet and Mercy are super talented and gifted with their distinctively strong voice. The lyrics of their songs are as powerful and honest. I tried searching in youtube and discovered they are already popular worldwide. Here is one of their live concerts in Honolulu.My highschool friends will definitely find this familiar as this is their favorite request.
