These days

I just had one my I-really-feel-like-an-adult-now-days. Ha-ha! What a way to describe this day. Boon and bane. I had pending work, new work and thinking about future work. :) I thought of so many things -thoughts, that is- and hope they could one day show up on your screen. (I just figured this could read "I thought of so many thoughts." Wrong, right?Whatever)

I am excited to read Productive Pinoy by Yeng Remulla. Ok, I have to say the cover got me. But it was the title that struck me. Productivity. Pinoy. Yes, Pinoy context. Reminded me of ItsmorefuninthePhilippines, I don't know why. Anyways, I had read a couple of pages when Ira showed it to me. (It was from her that I learned about the book.)  Funny and indeed true. I can't wait to read it.

p.s I can be the exact opposite of the title. It's time to become the title. Please. Srsly :)

Thirtieth aka promosyon

One of my college classmates planned a meet-up several weeks ago. The plan was to really get the portfolios from our former prof's house and at the same time spend some time there. Fast forward this week, our prof agreed to have us! This is really something (at least, for me) since (it seems to me that) she's kind of a private person. Hehe. But she was really nice to let us in! :))

 It was a nice house that we couldn't help taking pictures! We brought some food to share over convo. Some played a little with the piano. :)  And they tried belly-dancing! Ha-ha! How was that for a visit?! Had it been earlier, we could've watched a movie! Apparently, there were only a few of us. Few as in seven. Ha-ha! Others weren't able to come because of other appointments. (We'll try better with the organizing next time. :)) It was fun, though. Personally, it was a privilege to be spending some time our at former prof's residence, not to mention she's really one of the people I (we) admire in the academe. And we get to meet her soon-to-be-geologist daughter whom she had told us stories about back in college. Well, syempre na-starstruck na naman ako. Ha-ha!

While the others are taking pictures, I cannot help look at these

 I just love publications from LIFE. Seeing sister publications of the now-defunct LIFE magazine excites me!! :)) There were other good reads, too! I wanna go back there and borrow some! Ha-ha! We took more pictures, talked about the future, and listened to words of wisdom. Such an experience. 

 The mall was, I think, the next destination in mind. But because of the portfolios which are somewhat Breaking Dawn-thick, and of some other appointments, we just parted ways. Not me and Mel, though. XD! I accompanied her to the mall and we just took a stroll. And devoured this

 Melody! Bakit ba tayo walang picture?!  Ha-ha!

 

 

The almost year-end post

I have so many things, persons, events, and everything to be thankful for this year but this ain't the post for that. Not yet. But this is one of them, to say.

I stayed at Davao for two days for the license registration. Thankfully, I'm done with it and finished the whole process in a breeze. At least, early enough to catch lunch. A one-day thing turned to be an overnight stay because my college classmates and I wanted to line up the earliest possible time at PRC. Read: 5am :)

Nothing fancy this time. We took the night off at a boarding house to save. :)) I missed the whole wi-fi thing at FTC Towers but it was just fine. We just headed straight to our business, ate lunch at Penong's, rested for a while and headed back home. Really nothing fancy since the day's really tiring and everyone else (yes, so including me) has to catch up with something back home. :) We enjoyed this ride to the boarding house because the PUV is new to us. The terrain also is amusing! We acted like kids! Ha-ha!)

It was also my first time to eat at Penong's. I'm Chacha Loser for not having pictures of the food :(...but definitely, it's something you shouldn't miss when going to Davao. Think Mang Inasal sincerely Davao :).

I enjoyed the streets of Davao because of its busyness. ;) I don't know I have this thing for busy streets and traffic is nice (somehow) because it gives you time to take shots! Hehe. I'm not good at taking pictures though. I'm working at it :))

 

 I like this trip because Bonamine did work on me or shall I say, my system finally accepted Bonamine and saved me from a lot of (gross) hassle. And they played Three Idiots on the bus. Laugh and cry at the same time :)

Ooops! I ain't fashion blogger. But I have been reading several for some time now. And all these are getting into me. Boon and bane. Boon in a sense that I an learning how to dress-up and style even just a bit. It's a bane because it's really getting into me. 

I've been this lately, trying to come up with something more than the shirt + jeans that I used to be in for four years. Well, it's been shirt and jeans still but the shirt has some style now, being flow-y and all that. Plus, I'm into boyfriend jeans lately (I just folded the bottom of this one). And the shoes. I'm not yet ready with heels so I opted to have this one from Primadonna I like that despite their wide array of heels, platforms, and wedges, they have these flats and shoes that are not really that feminine. :) Albeit I'd like to wear the heels someday. :)) 


Apparently,I'm thinking of ensembles to wear so I'd look a bit more professional. Ha-ha!

Sound of silence

At times, all we have to do is listen. 
And not talk. It pays to listen before we speak.

p.s I have a deadline mid-week. 

Mail love affair

Since the week I received these , my interest for mail and anything sent from courier grew. It's one of my kind of "nice surprise". The catalog, the planner, and now the notebook we purchased from SheenaLovesSunsets. They're really nice with the verse and drawings on them. I've been eyeing them since and because someone gave me some money as a treat for passing, my sister and i ordered some. :) 

Choosing took me some time, ha-ha! because everything was pretty! I would have wanted the black one but settled for this instead.(Next time uli.) See the verse? It's a great reminder that there is actually (even if sometimes, or most of the time for some, we think there isn't)  SOMEONE we can call upon. The verse says it all :) These little things had been making me happy. I'm a sucker for notebooks, you know. And pens, too. I got myself fancy pens from Pinkbox and gave in to some Angry Birds pen. XD But these pens are a different story. :)

 I also joined this mailing thing of a favorite blogger of mine. I sent just a little something. What thrilled me is that it's just my second time to mail something! Do it the post-office-way! :)) I still think snail mails are one of the sweetest things in the world. I'm excited for more to come of these mails and packages! :))
