I SURVIVED MONDAY

I survived Monday!

You know how it was when you came from your rest days and it's the first day of the week?! Workloads are like sitting next to you, waiting impatiently for them to get done. Last night at work, stuffs just keep on coming and I don't know which to prioritize. Some had slipped my mind then it'll pop in my head again and I would just say like "sh***t!" LOL. That's why I had a lot of post-its and keeps on jotting down notes at my planner. I am such a forgetful person. I can feel that this is going to be a long week. Oh yeah, it's going to be a tiring but productive week. =)

COFFEE CRAVING

I am craving for coffee!

Here I go again, caffeine addiction strikes again. My fave these past few days were the iced coffees. I am thinking of dropping by at Starbucks later before going to work. Hmmmmm... One venti iced white chocolate mocha to go pleaseeeeee. =)

DECEITFUL

Looking at the clouds 

gave me a sense of relief, 

it calms my mind and makes me feel at ease. 

They look so soft and warm. 

But if you actually jump on a cloud, 

you would fall to your death. 

Such a deceit!

Took the photo above during one of those afternoon date with friends, the clouds was just so beautiful then, too bad I wasn't able to take a good shot of it.

STUPID ME!

Don't make me wait, 

just because you know I will.

Or seems that I need to be awake from a dream,

accept the reality and learn to admit

that you will never be mine.

I knew things would not work out.

It's just me and my stupidness again!

*O U C H*

EARTH HOUR 2011

Earth Hour will be observed tonight at 8:30-9:30PM MNL. Lights will be switch off around the globe for at least 60 minutes. This campaign is to send a message on taking action against global warming. It's just an hour sacrifice of not having lights and that will make a big difference. Let's all give our support!

It'll be fun! 

For once, 

darkness will do something good 

for the world. 

LOL!

BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU HAPPY

There are times that you simply like to do what makes you happy and would not want to explain yourself to others why you will need to do that. Wanting to be happy is an enough reason.

FROM BAD TO GOOD

Earlier at work, I was not in a good mood again at the start of my shift because of some reasons that freaking get into my nerves and felt like the unwanted vibes will lasts for a day. Then came something that somehow brightens my day. =)

Yes, we have bad days. But I realized that there's still something good at the end of the day. Today is not so bad after all. I am blessed!

SHIT HAPPENS

Shit happens > indeed!

Sorry, better luck next time.

Crap!

I'll let it out with a deep sigh.

*SIGH*

DEAR EARTH...

Dear Earth,

I need you to rotate a bit faster.

I am waiting for the best thing

to happen to me.

P.S. 

I'm not being impatient ok. :)

Always,

MAMA CHIT'S

Me and my team went for a drink after our shift last Saturday morning. Yes, you've read it right, drinking on a Saturday morning! We ended it up around 3pm then some of us went for a snack before going home. I wanna share the place where we ate. I love the look of that restaurant, it looks like more of a diner. It was my second time to be there. I enjoyed their food the first time I went there, that was like 8 months ago. I'm a bit disappointed from my last visit 'coz the food doesn't tastes that good. I am just thinking that maybe I am just full that's why I have not like the food that much. 


Check out the photos from my last visit:

The place has that vintage look with all those old and unique stuffs. One wall was decorated with portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, surrounded by black and white photos of old Manila. You could also see posters of Beatles and stuffs that would make you reminisce of the past. Remember the old black phone? With a circular dial pad? It was so cute to see. I got to say that it's really the interior that gives character to Mama Chit's.

What's in the table?

Photos below were from my first visit:

I enjoyed these foods more than the latest dine I had at Mama Chit's. But I'll give them the benefit of a doubt. I still have reasons to go back there. Their specialty by the way are their burgers with home made patties. The burgers were good, I have to say. Budget per person starts from 100 PhP, affordable enough.

MY HERO

Boy: I wanna be a super hero, guess my name.

Girl: Superman? Iron man? Spiderman?  

Boy: (smiles) YOUR MAN :)

Awwwwwww. 

I know it sounds cheesy, 

but it's still sweet!

SOAK UP THE SUN

Oh yeah! Summer is here, my favorite time of the year. It seems that the gossip is not true at all. Just like what I said at my post RAINY SUMMER =(, I don't think it will be true after all. Because I can already feel the heat of sunshine as early as now. I am looking forward spending some summer weekends more at the beach. There's nothing like laying on the beach and soaking up the sun. Oh summer, you've been greatly missed - can't wait spending the coming days with you!

MY SHOTS

Spent last weekend at the beach. The main reason why we spent our weekends there is to have a pre-nuptial photo shoot of my colleague's sister. My colleague, her cousin and me brought our cameras to take photos of the couple. We we're not professionals, we just ask them to strike a pose then take a shot. We brought some props as well to make it more artistic. LOL! A beginner like me who doesn't know much what settings to use had a hard time taking beautiful photos. The photos at the slideshow were my shots, I find them nice (coz it's my work, of course! heehee), but it still needs a lot of improvement. I would really like to learn how to take pictures from my cam, what to do with the settings or what not. Patience, please stay with me. *SIGH*

GENTLY KISS THE SHORE

Overlooking the sea

contemplating the waves

as they kiss the shore 

ever so gently.

PRAYERS FOR JAPAN

It's all in the news these days. Japan was hit by a strong earthquake that triggers a tsunami alert. They said that earthquake is like an everyday thing in Japan, and having this kind of earthquake happens every 20 years. I am not so sure if that is a fact. But for all the victims of this tragedy, my prayers are with them. Hoping and praying for a fast recovery to Japan and it's countrymen. 

  

BEACH SPELL

Tomorrow -

the sea will casts it's spell again on me and would feel 

mesmerized

enchanted

amazed

bewildered

dazed

enthralled

fascinated

it'll be fine if I would have to stay there 

and be under that spell all my life!

Can't wait for tomorrow.....

KUDOS TO ALL THE SINGLE PARENT

Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears. But it's also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride. Kudos to all the single parent out there! I'm proud to be one.

HOW TO WORK BETTER

The phrases above are true. 

Simply do them 

and try not to be hard on ourselves. 

:)

MISS * HUG * HIM

I wish I could hug the person I miss right now!

HIGH SCHOOL BUDS

They're my high school buds. We rarely see each other and when we do, time flies so fast and a day is not enough. We chat nonstop, update each other's lives, listen to every story, laugh our hearts out and whenever we check the clock, we can't believe that a lot of hours had already passed. 

We had a coffee date last night then stay at Lhan's place. We just stay there until midnight. The pictures above is what we did before we went home, had a tripod, set the cam and strike a pose! It was all fun and we can't help but laugh to ourselves. It's 2 midnight then and we were all so awake and keeps on giggling. LOL! We all have kids now but seems like we were all high school again when we're all together. It feels so good to know that we still have each other though a lot has changed with our lives. I just know that they'll always be there whenever I needed them. :)

CUDDLE WEEKEND

Rainy days are lazy days. Makes you want to watch movies at home, eat yummy foods or do absolutely nothing. It's a rainy Saturday afternoon. Enjoy the cuddle weekend everyone!

IT'S NOT A MISTAKE, IT'S A CHOICE

You can never make the same mistake twice.

Because the second time you make it,

it's not a mistake, it's a choice!

Whenever a wrong move has happened to our life for the second time, we sometimes convince ourselves that it was an honest mistake. Or we tell ourselves that we didn't know it'll end up that way again and will suddenly felt like we are a victim of circumstances. The truth is, we are just trying to give justice to the wrong acts that we decided to do again. Maybe of guilt? I am not sure, but the saying above is somehow true. Once you did the same mistake, that's because it's your choice!

UNLIMITED WISHES

If I had one wish...

I would wish for unlimited wishes.

That makes sense! Who would not want that? It'll be so cool to have a never ending wishlist and then they would simply come true. Just like the magic lamp. Here I go again, childish imaginations. =)

HOTTER DAYS

It rained quite hard last night and it didn't stop until midnight. First night of March and it rained? Not good. March means summer and it's my favorite season! But news is saying that we'll be experiencing a rainy summer. I hope not coz I would definitely miss the super hot days during summer time. Am I too weird that I love hotter days? LOL!

I DIDN'T MAKE IT

I didn't make it, I'm back to smoking! Well, I kinda somehow knew I would. LOL! It was never a plan in the first place, I just stopped for a meanwhile because I am sick. But I am already putting limits into it. If before I am smoking like 2 to 3 sticks of cigarettes at my 15 minute break alone, now I tried to smoke a maximum of 3 sticks in a day. I think that'll be a good start until I could really stop smoking. Which again, I am uncertain. Haha!
