Hey! I have been MIA for so long - life kind of took over again.  Work and such things make is a little bit tricky for me to keep up with things that are actually fun or I enjoy.  It is sad, i know but see it is just less than 24 hours before Christmas and I got some time off. Yey!


Beside work being such a drag most of the time, there are still little treasures here and there which makes it a bit bearable.

I have been sucked into the world of Zombies. I totally lost my mind! I finished 3 season in 2 days -can you believe it? 

 

I finally got a new phone! Happy because I can now get all the cute cases I want! *insert evil laugh here*

Here are some of the new pics I took using "Max""

 

Season 2s

I have been watching a lot of Season 2 of my programs.  New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Whitney but really really -  I cannot wait for Girls Season 2!

random rambles

The past month has been really really busy and draining. I have been meaning to write something down but I just couldn't find the time - the surplus hours I have are spent mostly sleeping. Trying to escape from the realities of work - of life.

Don't get me wrong, I am thankful. i just find myself really very tired lately and obsessing on the fact that I will turn 30 next year and I do not have a plan B.

ugh.

In other news- yesterday after a year, I got to see my friend Clang! I miss her so. Oh, and Noel joined our company last week - so that should be good.

Christmas will soon be upon us and this post has no structure at all. haha. Sorry.

to bed..

I am at a point where even my head isn't a safe, peaceful place anymore that I just want to sleep all day to escape this lonelines that envelopes me when I am on a break getting annoyed beyond belief of the things situations and people do around me.

This is so ridiulous that i find myself wanting to cry at random parts of the day. I just want to go to bed - hybernate until things are all better.

Paper Heart

I am not sure if I already wrote how adorably cute I find Michael Cera.  Yesterday, I was going through my brother's files and saw Paper Heart.  A quick search in google and found that it is a documentary about love and stars Michael. I put it in my iPod and here I am writing about how I love the movie - how I love him. :D


But seriously,  I really liked the movie.  It is from 2009 but so what?!

Hello Hello

I have been a bit of MIA this past few days.  Truth, it was only today that I got to catch up on my blog-reading.  I have been a bit busy with work - as usual.  I got transferred yet again and had to make sure that things would run smoothly with my new team.  Things are going great!  I am very excited with the development of our new team and I cannot wait to see what more lie ahead.  I might have psyched myself too much that things feels easier - lighter. 

In other news, I have been trying to finish this book that I have started a long time ago - "In the  garden of beasts".  I find myself fascinated by Germany and the Nazi and Hitler -such dark times.  I have a few more pages to read, so I am going back to my book. :)

Words

Words are powerful as you already know.  It can encourage you to soar higher than you can possibly imagine as easily as it can break you to smithereens.  Today, this became more true to me.  I heard wonderful wonderful words that truly built me up.  They might be empty but my heart was fuller because of them.


God knows best and so I trust that his plans for me are perfect.  Here I go.

The shift

That something in the air, that unexplainable feeling you get in your gut when all the things in your life that is comfortable and easy is about to shift - I got that. I have been feeling it for some time now and I guess it is turning into reality sooner than I hope it would. My mind is raising and all I really want to do is take it to the bed.

Tired and Fan-Girl Me.

This was a crazy week.  I literally worked 16 hours everyday to meet my deadlines.  Towards the end, I am totally feeling the exhaustion and it was not funny.  I was just running on sugar and less than 4 hours of sleep - I am glad the week is over!

My sibs and I saw the American Idol concert today. I thought, It would be a great way to close this tiring week out. I came home from work at around 2p - napped a bit and got ready for the 8p show.  The only reason I am going to see this is because I am wee bit in love with Phil Phillips. :D  I just had to see him and so we grabbed cheap seats and we went.

He was not in the first half of the show - and I got really upset.  Shameful - I know.  I wanted to go home so bad because I was so tired and I thought I wasn't going to see him.  But gosh was I happy when I saw him after the break!  Ooooh - it was sooo awesome.  I only have these pictures to show you. - My sister took a bunch of pics from the show. Pictures of all the idols but I only really want to show you these. :)

His awfully adorable awkward dance!

singing nice and slow.

 Somebody that I used to know with Elise - fave performance.  

 when he sang "HOME" - also a little bit of Colton. :)

 I will sleep smiling tonight - today. :P

Insanity that is this Week.

It is going to be a crazy busy week.  I have so much to do and my schedule is a mess.  I have a very tight timeline for processing payroll and I need to squeeze 3 New Hire Orientation in my calendar.  To make this a little bit more tricky - the classes are spread out during AM and PM shifts while I need to be in graveyard - FUN.

I pray I survive this week.  My only motivation is - I get to see the AI concert Friday night.  So - here we go!

Need life ASAP.

You wanna know something weird and crazy? Today I watched Something Borrowed, yep I read the book but today I saw the movie 3 times!!!

I seriously need to get a life.

when it hits

There are moments when sadness hit you like a boulder. It does not come often - thankfully but when it does it makes the holes in your life undeniably present. Today, the past days really- all I want to do is sleep. I want to sleep for days and not think about a thing.


Sent from my iPod

this and that.

This week I have 3 free days - if anyone tries to find me, I will be locked in my room watching Game of Thrones Season 2 and the remaining episodes of Girls Season 1.  Now, it would be soooo awesome if I can just get these things transferred to my iPod.  If my lappy cooperates, I just might be able to do it. :)


in other news-

this song!

this scene!

Love.

BRAVE

Over the weekend as soon as the monsoon rain stopped for a bit, my sisters and I went on a date.  Grabbed something to eat and saw a movie - BRAVE! I loooove Merida - best part is here hair. :)

Speaking of brave, I would just like to say how awesome Filipinos are for braving yet another upsetting rainfall this past week.  So many people got stranded - me included, and so many more have been affected by the monsoon shower.  Flood everywhere, I had to stay in the office for 3 days because all roads to our house is impassable.  Ugh.  I am still blessed because we were not flooded at home and everyone was safe.  Thank you Lord. 

It is true what they say, Filipino spirit is WATERPROOF!

Rainy Weekend

It had been a pretty nice and rainy weekend.  I spent it mostly curled up in bed with the tv on mute and ipod in my hand.  I finished reading book 2 - Clash of Kings. (loved it of course).  I think I am learning to like Sansa. :)

I played TapTap Revenge tour too during my short breaks from the book. Don't hate - it is kind of addicting.

Oh and spent mostly playing this video on repeat too.  Ugh. Phil Phillips makes me swoon. :)

Amazeballs that is The Game of Thrones

I am taking a quick break from my Game of Thrones immersion to write about it. :)  Yesterday, I finished the first book and boy was I hooked!  I am now reading the 2nd installment and just got myself the season 1 dvd for later this week.

I know I am a tad late gushing about how amazeballs it is - but so what?! I am now enthralled.. So when you don't see me much in this part of the internet, please don't think I've fallen out of the face of the earth.  I am probably just curled up in my bed reading or watching the dvd. Ha!

Hits

Maybe... say hi sometimes? I'd love to hear from you.  :)

Unlovable

Okay, let me just gush about this for a little bit then I'll stop.  I got my heart set in finishing this book this week, I started reading it a few days ago but I got distracted by The night circus. :)  Yesterday - boy was I able to finish this book!  I wolfed it down!

This is pretty much an easy to read book - and so many parts made me really giddy! :D  I think that is the reason I am gushing about this. haha.

So, Yeah. *kilig*

The Night Circus

I love how magical this book is.  It pulled me in and won't let go until I am done with it.  All the characters are wonderfully created and the way each tiny detail is described just made for a beautiful telling of the story.  I am very much enamored by Popet and Widget and their red hair amidst the black and white background of the circus.  I was so enchanted by this book that I can't believe I waited this long to read it - it was just in my iBooks waiting for me to start. :) 

“And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.” ― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus



Linking it UP

I usually do not share the blogs I read because sometimes I just want to keep them to myself. Same goes for the music that I listen to. I am weird like that.  But today, lemme link my new found treasures!

Pictures of People reading - in New York! Can it get more personal? or Awesome?


This song is on constant repeat in my iPod.  The album is pretty easy on the ears too but this song - 7+ times a day.



I just had a mini marathon of Girls this past weekend.  After 7 epoisodes nonstop, I slept for 12 hours nonstop. I think I will continue on watching this one.

My parents are actually getting our house extended thus, renovating the kitchen and laundry area.  I am lusting after these small adorable kitchens.

I want very much to do this in my wall.

On HTML and such

Changing the look of my blog can sometimes be such a pain. There are a lot of free templates available customizable ones even, but knowing zilch about HTML - it just makes me so frustrated! I wanted so very much to learn HTML but was really too lazy to sign up for classes and too brain-dead most of the time to learn on my own. Ugh. So, i think I'm going to sign up for classes - as soon as I get a new laptop. :

Half-Over

That Post Birthday Lunch

Last week I turned *gasp* 29.  I didn't really feel specially old but the number makes me gasp a teeny bit.  I will get use to it for sure.  Over the weekend, my family and I drove to Tagaytay to have a post birthday Lunch.  We had lunch in Buon Giorno at the Cliffhouse, Tagaytay.  Truth - the day was full of eating and driving around. FUN!  Here are some of my favorite pictures from yesterday. :)

ending weekend

Sunday - i have a love/hate relationship with Sundays. It earmarks the end of weekend and that another gruesome week is about to start. I opened my work email this morning and it was such a baaaad idea! grr. I don't know what possesed me to do it. Saw a sucky email and now I am dreading tomorrow!

I am feeling a bit under the weather.. i hate it! I want to crawl under a rock and stay there for a loooong time.

Going South

We went to see Tita Au last Sunday.  Her mother-in-law is in the hospital and we drove to see them.  We have not seen her for a long time, it was nice catching up over lunch - even if it was in the hospital cafeteria. 

We drove to Tagaytay after and ate bulalo in Mahogany market. :)   Not far was the Little Souls Sister Chapel, where we visited too. 

Drive back seem longer but we got an early dinner in Banapple which was yum.  T'was a fun Sunday.  

Here are some of the pictures from that day.

 

  

Lily

Got a new phone over the weekend.  Blackberry 9360.  I wanted a bb then and have been planning to get one but truth be told, I wasn't very sure about my feelings now.  The only reason that I got this is because it was the logical thing to do at that time.  I wanted to get an iPhone but it is still just too expensive. :|  Anywho you can call my BB, Lily.  We are not good friends yet.  I am still hoping that we will be - in time. :)

The things I like about it are:

♥ BBM - photosharing is sooo much easier using this app. I can even send instant voice notes if I feel silly enough. :)

♥ Led Colors - I am shallow as hell, and customizing the colors of the flashing Led makes me giddy! :D

Life Update

Despite all the many things that have been happening lately, I could not for the life of me find time and reason to write stuff down.  I am in a very strange place, right smack in the middle of changes and staying the same.

Work stuff has been crazy.  I am going to be transferring site soon.  I wish I know the exact date but like many things in this company, it is yet to be determined.  I am really excited about this move actually.  It's going to be a brand new site, I just need to figure out how to commute to that place.  Contrary to how I thought I would feel, detaching myself from Eastwood isn't at all difficult.  Maybe it really is time for me to move on, I did what I needed to do.

In other news, some random useless things I have been doing lately:

I find myself pinning so much lately and reading tons of this blog here. 

As much as i hate 4square, I am such a sucker for Getglue.

I was able to catch up on my programs and started watching community. :)

I guess I have 17 books I am currently reading. 

This is such a long list because I always stop reading when it becomes boring  - Life is too short for boring books. :)  I will still try and finish these though.
I am giving away most of my books and will be keeping just a few - mostly because of its sentimental value.  My sister is totally helping me out by giving it to her friends.

I still play with my Classic Booth app and here are some of my favorites as of late.

the last set was taken by Noel while I talk too much last Saturday - pouring everything I have not said since the last time we saw each other. :D
