Whatever happened to Spice Girls?

Image
This picture happened to be produced last Saturday when our supposed to be night out in some club turned out to be a food trip and walk trip galore. First intention was to baptize everyone to the world of clubbing by yours truly, but since it was a last minute call for all of us, we decided to score the new places in Town. We spent our time in Timezone to relief our tensions from too much separation. I can sense the space girls, lighten up! So eventually after all those tiring games: from the massage chair, gorilla shaking, car racing, karaoke, ball screen targeting, basketball and dance revo; our tummies got flatten and our thin figures just had a lot more thinning going on. We all went to spend our dinner at Soderno. It was all our first time to be there! My initial expectations of the place was for it to be crowded, but I was wrong. The place had a lot of free space that we easily scored what to eat. I was not really in the mood to try different selections of food; actually,

lethargic plans

Image
Lethargic (adj.)   -  deficient in alertness or activity   - of, relating to, or characterized by laziness or lack of energy : feeling or affected by lethargy : sluggish - indifferent, apathetic  SOURCE:  Merriam Webster ,  Free Dictionary I guess lethargic in second definition is my assessment of what happened today. I literally appeared as the cat lying on the ground in the picture above. I'm not having the time of my life as of the moment, and I know it sucks my brain tumors out (if I had any LOL).  I had no plans, and I guess having none of those makes me stare at unknown spaces.  On the bright side, an upcoming plan to travel to a new place comes up in picture. Well, it's not really traveling but going to a place I never have gone to alone (or two), is something new. I'm quite excited knowing that I'll be exploring Manila in my bravest foot forward once again, and this time there would be treats for that (I guess).  Anyway, the trip's tom

leaving on an airline

Image
It wouldn't be much ado if it weren't for the attachment I have come to had with my colleagues at work. Friday the 13th marked the last day of my stay with my second family— Thai Airways International . It does not really had to be like this—separation anxiety (felt like breaking up)—if it weren’t for the people in the company. I really learned to love each and every one—that departing breaks my heart inch by inch. Random thought: I am a big cry baby, that once you told me you’re leaving for a long time/ faraway place, I will freakin’ cry because I hate people leaving (out of my life) especially to the people I have grown to be dependent/ attached with. And that’s exactly what happened last Friday. I actually anticipated the emotion filling up my eyes, but I did not imagine that it would happen because of an unexpected gesture from the two most closest colleague in Thai. Sir Chris : Tin, may papaabot lang ako sa cabinet. (When in fact, the cabinet was a bit reachable in

shoes and love

Image
Above all, believe in true love and know that men are like shoes. A couple is like a left and a right foot, and out there is your perfect fit. Sometimes you need to change styles and shop around to find it. Sometimes you have to break styles in, sometimes you feel like something that is unstylish but comfortable, and sometimes a style - as much as you like - just doesn't suit you and will never fit. - Camilla Morton (How to Walk in High Heels)

It turns out; our nonexistent garden still has the power to bloom.  Even in the most unexpected place, you see beauty. 

Digital vs Film v.1

DIGITAL (Kodak M200) SLIDE FILM (Kodak Extrachrome 200) Everything's more dramatic and sharp in film (with extra clouds and solution).

You can't blame me, Mr. Sunny

I'm no fan of sunglasses... not until I diverted myself to wear them again after the intense summer heat we have been experiencing. I have my own wayfarer and aviators, but I'm still experimenting on what type of sunglasses I should really invest in. And when I say invest, I mean, REALLY . There's this type of shades I have been wanting to have since last year, and I haven't really found one in my recent search. Out of desperation to know what it was called, I consulted Wikipedia to give me facts. TADAH! The Browline sunglasses image from Google Image Search With my constant search on this babies, I have recently (like just now) decided, that I totally need to invest in this pair. I really love how it enhances the eyebrows (of course, you can't really see it in sunglasses) because that's what really it is for. I have a huge insecurity with my eyebrows (okay?). Teehee!  So now, where could I possibly buy this 15% look enhancer? It's tru

The Chance to Know

I'm starting to see a beginning of a new chapter in my life, unfolding after this coming week. My practicum's about to end, and my life would never be the same again. It puts me in an uncomfortable state knowing that my future will be at my own hands starting on.

Hot Cakes!

Image
The summer heat is burning up my whole sanity! I went to my grandmother's house, which resides one block away, to deliver some pasalubong we bought from Tagaytay yesterday. It was an intense 5 minute walk that totally feels like an hour. -_-' If only I could just walk around naked. LOL kidding So now, I'm clamped inside my room drowning myself with downloads that has long been overdue. I literally have a long list of music and TV series to download, and I guess the list would grow longer as the summer progresses. Summer playlist, here I come! Anyway, here's my latest find! Hot Cakes of El Ten Eleven. They seriously make great sounds! Even if they don't incorporate lyrics inside their music, they still sell like hot cakes (for me, at least). Enjoy! :)

We all have that little dream we've been hiding from others — that dream we silently hope of doing in our lives, but still has not made progress just because... I bet you don't know that I had a secret dream to be in a band. That started out when I was in HS, when the mainstream past time was to form bands and play instruments. I even asked my Dad to buy me a guitar; the progress — I learned to play one song. See?.. progress right there. (period) Not to mention, I (also) know how to play the keyboards. My grandmother pushed me to have lessons of such when I was in Grade 4, but stopped after sometime because I realized that it wasn't for me. Just before April 5, I continue to lived that silent dream — mainly my mind was acting to my dream and my body's on idle mode (like seriously) —but  when my friend Patt asked me to model a sort-of Rockband album shoot, it was like a dream come true. LOL I guess my tiny little dream got exposed without her knowing. Hihi

Take it all in

“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love."   -  Zooey Deschanel I found this quote on one of the blogs that I follow, and I realized how open girls usually are. But as for me, I think I'm becoming less of it. In some way, I think I'm turning into a stone –a Stonehenge to be exact –big and lost in an indescribable world .  And with that, I'll depart for a week of soul searching in this Holy Week that's coming. I really hope to bring my spirits back
