I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life...
well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.
About Me
Name: celgee Home: Philippines About Me: just read through my entries and you'll get to know me :) See my complete profile
It's been a while since I last updated my blog...I have been sooo busy over the past weeks... need I say why? ;) Anyway, as you may have noticed, I only get a chance to get in touch with my hobbies on weekends. And today... I am taking one of my other hobbies more seriously -- Cooking. Together with one of my friends from the office (and my former teammate), we signed up for an Oriental cooking class @ the Maya Kitchen Culinary Art Center. The class started with a short discussion on what we will be cooking. The class was divided into groups of 5. We were asked to prepared a complete meal (yup, hands-on cooking session talaga) at kung ano yung niluto namin, yun na rin ang lunch namin. Syempre di naman talaga ako nagluluto sa bahay, kaya mejo parati akong nalalapitan ng instructor namin.. natatakot siguro syang maputol ko yung daliri ko, hehehehe. :) Ayun, dami kong natutunan from the preparation, actual cooking and presentation. Nag-enjoy talaga ako... :) Galing ng team namin e!
I went to Podium today with Nins and Jp. We were at Color Me Mine... doing one of the things I love to do. How perfect can this day be? I'll get to paint again, and at the same time I am with my honey and my bestfriend. (Niña and I have been friends since Grade 3). I painted a vase and Nins painted Denver (that's what we called her dinosaur). It was fun. We were like kids again... doing an art project (I am sure Nins, Ms. De los Santos, [our art teacher in H.S.] will be proud of your work) and just like before, kwentuhan to the max (baka malista na naman tayong 2 Nins sa mga 'Noisy' hehehe). Pat (my officemate) and his friend also joined us sa aming 'painting session'. As usual asaran, to the max, at kanya-kanyang pintasan sa aming mga 'work of art'. :) Around 6pm, Nins, Roben (Savares) Jp and I went to Starbucks, Metrowalk for the Siena GS reunion planning. We met our other classmates from Grade School. Konti lang kami na nagpunta (me, Niña, Roben, Marvin, Angelo, Lawrence, Loida, Tiffany, Robbie and Eileen). Ok naman, at least we did get a chance to set a date for the reunion. We just need to contact our other classmates/batchmates and let them know of the plans. We stayed at Metrowalk for 6hours (starbucks, had dinner then starbucks ulit). Sa 6hours na yun, siguro mga 30 minutes lang namin pinag-usapan yung plans for the reunion... the rest of the time we were talking about our batchmates. Our memories from Gradeschool (mga crushes namin before, the games we played, sinong inaway nino, kung may mga maging mag-bf/gf within our batch, at kung anu-ano pang kalokohan namin nung mga bata pa kami) at mga latest na balita/'chismis' about our batchmates. Ang saya.. kahit konti lang kami we got a chance to catch up a bit and got to know more of our friends from way back.
Not Capability Maturity Model. I mean 'Color Me Mine'.
I was in Glorietta today, with Pat and Giff. We went to Hobbes (GB3) to try the paint-your-own ceramics studio called Color Me Mine. There were a lot of ceramics to choose from, and I was first attracted to the moon figurine (it's a moon sitting in the clouds, with also a couple of bears.) I think it was about 10-12 inches in size... Kaya lang it was beyond our alloted budget...
So I chose the pitcher that had some grapes and vines in it as the design. And guess what, it took me 1 1/2 hours to finish it (take note I was just painting the grapes, leaves and vines). Image how long it would take me kung yung moon ang pinili ko hehehe... :) Kala ko kasi madali lang, hindi pala (yup, not all things are as easy as them seem to be). Syempre if you want your art work (and any other thing you are doing) to look good, you have to be really careful. You don't want to make any unnecessary mistakes -- cause not all things can be easily fixed (at mahal sya ha, kaya dapat maingat ka!) Example, kung lampas-lampas yung pag color mo, di mo na pwedeng tanggalin yun...it's either you try to adjust your design so that your art work would still look good or just accept is as it is. :)
And the final product? I will be able to get it after 10 days. (they still have to 'bake' it, so that the colors will last and para shiny sya. :)
Pag nakuha ko na sya, I'll post my work of art here.
I was really planning to watch this movie, but never really set a date when i am going to watch it. Then yesterday my officemates were asking what movie we could watch today.. "Pinoy Blonde" or "If Only". Syempre pinili ko 'If Only'. At first I was hesitant to watch the movie at GB3. I was thinking na it might not be worth my money. Another teeny-bopper flick.. well siguro kasi iniisip ko na si Jennifer Love Hewitt yung bida. I was thinking that it might just be like any other love story... kasi in the movie posters nakalagay at the bottom.."what would you do....if life gave you another chance to love the one you lost?" O di ba? Ang dating sa akin e, it's either babalikan siguro nito yung ex nya or makakanap sya ng iba..
I was wrong. The movie was different. Siguro kasi I was not expecting the movie to be good, and eventually, it made me realize na maganda pala. :)
30 minutes pa lang sa loob ng sinehan umiiyak na ako. Nakakalungkot naman kasi e... :( Imagine losing the person you love most and seeing that happen right before your eyes. Makes you want to wish that you can turn back time, right? In the movie, The cab driver asked the guy what would he do if the girl left and never came back...ever. How would he imagine his life without the girl...I got affected by the movie, siguro kasi I don't get to think much about losing the people I love. My lame excuse -- Busy ako. Siguro kasi parati ko naiisip na these people will always be there... (my family, relatives, bf, friends..). Pero hindi ganun. I can't have them forever... And when I started imagining that, di ko na mapilgilan di umiyak.
And what if life gave you a second chance? Siguro we would all do the same thing as the guy did. Pero, ang hirap nung feeling na you only have 1 day to make up for all the lost time... 1 day to show all the love you feel. Seeing the person you love, knowing that you are about to lose her and realizing that you can't do anything to change what is bound to happen. Towards the end of the movie, I was crying again. Haaaaaay... di ko talaga mapigilan na di maiyak. Ganda ng movie. :)
*In real life,we don't really get a second chance to change our life. So, always think of each day as your last. If you feel like telling someone you love them, tell them. Don't let the moment pass. You might not get that chance again.
I woke up today wishing I could still go back to sleep... nope, not because I lack sleep or I don't want to go to work (ows? hehehe), but because I wanted to know what will happen next in my dream. Bad trip naputol yung panaginip ko. Kainis talaga yung ganun, di ba? Well, weird naman kasi yung panaginip ko...yung tipong malabong mangyari at suntok sa buwan. I wasn't thinking of anything related to the 'scene' nor the people in my dream, siguro i was subconsciously wishing for something like that to happen..and sa panaginip lang natutupad yun... Sana pagtulog ko mamaya makita ko yung continuation nung panaginip ko... SIge, I'll sleep na. Good night. **Today is our 66th monthsary. Happy Monthsary, Hon!
Hay, naku... dagdag pasakit sa araw ko. Pasakay pa lang ako ng fx, sinabi na ng driver na hanggang Post Office lang daw. Dun pa lang nainis na ako. Di ba? Pwede naman dumaan sa Valero o kung san man.. pero hindi, hanggang dun na lang daw. Kasi naman kailangan pa bang isara ang Ayala Ave - from Rufino to Makati Ave. Natulog muna ako sa fx, trying to get some strength kasi feeling ko maglalakad na talaga ako. Makati Post Office na. Kailangan ko na bumaba. :(
So, there I was walking... sinumulan ko mula Mkti Post Office.. Nung una ok pa ako e,pa-text text pa sa mga officemates at kay Jp na nagsisimula na ako maglakad. Pero nangalay din ako eventually. Ang layo di ba? Di ko nga alam kung pano ko lilibangin ang sarili ko sa paglalakad. Sobrang nangangalay na ang mga balikat ko sa bigat ng laptop, tapos may bag pa ako at bitbit na lunch.
Nakakainis talaga. Bakit ba kasi kailangan pa mag-rally e? As if naman may patutunguhan yun... Sa EDSA na lang pwede (hehe.. di kasi dumadaan dun mga fx from Mayon..hehehe). Ah, basta. Kahit saan basta wag lang sa Makati. Sino ba naman ang di maiinis, Bukod sa ang daming kong dalang gamit, ang layo at ang init pa. (Pero ok na rin at di umuulan, kundi baka naligo na ako sa ulan..) Hay naku, sa loob-loob ko habang nag-lalakad ako, "siguraduhin nyong may magandang kalalabasan yang rally nyo..grrr...".
