Updates!!!

Been busy at work recently that I forgot to update on my blog....

Aside from the Time Traveler's Wife from Leejay and Harry Potter Book 7 from myself, I received another book from Lolo!!!! Dan Brown's THE LOST SYMBOL. He sent it via LBC (many thanks!).... I finished the book actually and i think it really depicted Dan Brown's writing style which is full of suspense... One can never believe that the turn of events only transpired in the span of ten hours. It's a good one. ;)

The Time Traveler's Wife is also a delight. One must stay focused because the story 'time travels' a lot.

Right now, I'm hooked with my birthday present, HP7.... the BANG! to close the other 6 books.

Yesterday, we saw THIS IS IT!!!.... Worth watching... We watched it at ATC. The crowd (especially the ones sitting in front of us) were so enthusiastic that every performance ended up with applause.... At the end of it all, I realized that we've lost the opportunity to witness a highly probable successful concert. 'Sayang' is all I could say....

...

Right now I can't wait for Nov. 20... Of course NEW MOON!!! me got very hooked with the twilight saga.... hahahhaha.... I actually feel very 'teenager-ish'. Got the soundtrack last week and to my surprise, it comes with a free poster (What a joy!)

...

Typhoon Santi is really something... I got awaken by the winds at 4:30 AM... Our powerline got hit by a fallen branch from the very old narra tree across the street. Good thing they contacted their electrician and got things repaired immediately.... especially that the MERALCO team will be coming from Dasmarinas pa.

...

I guess that's it for now...

Cheers!

The day I turned 27

My day went great naman except for the 'achoo' thingies going on with me. Anyway, lots of greetings... thank you very much. Some of them even came from my highschool friends.

I left work on the dot and headed for Shangrila Mall where I desperately tried to catch the 5:10 PM showing of G-force. I ended up arriving at 6:00 PM but I still watched it. It's just about a group of guinea pigs saving the world from machine domination ek ek... Totally kidstuff, I got attracted to it because of my pet. hehehe...

After the .75 movie, I went to buy myself presents -- a bag and a book. I bought a mocha/brown Girbaud bag which is P200 off (yipee!!!) and a Harry Potter book 7 (I don't have one yet... i waited for the softbound one because it's cheaper).

Leej came... with a paperbag the same as mine... except that it contained a huge purple present with a pink ribbon. While seated at our dining choice, Cravings, I opened it.... golly!!! it's a bag and a book!!!. din... hahahha... good thing the bags weren't the same although from the same brand... and the book.... The Time Traveler's Wife (I'm reading it now)...

Just a funny thought... he knew what I wanted... I didn't say anything... a bag and a book... what a coincidence indeed.

It's a great day indeed... although it's the first time that I'm celebrating it without my family members.

Today....

... i just turned 27....

gawd... I'm old.

Where's the money?

Been browsing throught the net for news. Ondoy still tops the headlines. I share the wrath of some people about government expenditures on 'hakot barangay' travels, 'golden' meals and the idea of a new presidential jet (which was scrapped recently)... while our disaster brigade here lacks the necessary equipment like rubberboats atbp. and the people have no decent evacuation areas. Have they lost their minds on the true meaning of priority? Hayy naku...

Let's help!

I'm so thankful to God because our area wasn't really that affected by 'Ondoy'. I pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones... may God give them the strength to withstand this trial.

Anyway, I got this from Inquirer.net. If you happen to pass by these establishments, maybe you could give a little help in forms of donations for the Ondoy victims.

Heto nanaman....

Tama na yung isa e....

Tapos heto nanaman....

I know there's a purpose for everything.... pero bakit ba ako pinaglalaruan ng tadhana?

(sigh)

Nasstress tuloy ako to the highest level.... but I'm still hoping for the best.

Missing Manila.... (well, not everything...)

We survived!!! hahaha... Gawd.. I missed my house, my room, my garden and my pets. I spent the long weekend sitting at the corner of my room sorting and disposing my antique papers... and decorating my scrapbook (kasi ang dami ko ng backlogs).

One thing I didn't miss about Manila is the stress. hahaha... I can't simply concentrate on the job I'm doing because of other stuff (like past projects et al).
So many things to be considered and scheduled... (sigh).... Gone are the days where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at our convenience ... Gone are the days where a shuttle picks and drops us at the hotel (no need to commute/walk).

Siguro masarap na kape lang ang katapat nito.
