Let's Dance

It has been decades ago the last time I did some videogaming.

I'm so barbaric, never thought gaming would have evolved so efficiently nowadays. Never did like dance revo btw. This one's quite unique, your movements are detected by the sensor and it makes sports/dances quite interactive, everything's touchscreen, no need for remote control. I wouldnt be surprised if one day, we can do virtual reality at its best. (or bka meron na in the market?! ndi ko lng alam)

I think playing these games at home regulary would help a lot in keeping fit or losing weight! - Xbox Kinect rocks.

The Last Train

After some time, again had ladies night with my good friend at Clarke Quay. I ended up with the famous Cinderella mode. (rushing to make it to the last mrt before midnight, gawain ng mga tayong ayaw magtaxi with the 35% surcharge after midnight :p)

Hectic day today. Subteam lunch, team dinner, meet up with some guy, meet up with some girl. 4 back to back parties/meetup in a day. (yes i still claim to be anti-social). Good to club everything together, para isahang kapaguran na. Really so lazy mode.

Had 5 shots of tequilla and no effect at all. I didnt know that if you dont have any drinks (vodka, beer, etc) before tequilla, even if you take consecutive shots = not much effect. Some things have to go through the normal transition phase gradually. A sudden attack wont kill in this case. I am NOT promoting drinking as a habit or lifestyle at all. Just that, sometimes parang medyo corny ang mga taong who cant handle even just a single drink :p I've encountered a girl who said she feels like fainting after a sip of wine. ? Anyway, I'm not really into drinking, for the plain reason I'm afraid it will blow up my tummy to be even bigger!

A picture goofing inside the last train, almost all empty seats.



Feeling depressed actualy today, after finding out my holiday weekend will be hectic. Hectic being a tour guide for 2 separate group of kakilala/friends. :( I could have planned going out with friends, or preferred going on a date, or just staying at home relaxing. why o why. The disadvantages of being unmarried, you dont have an excuse like 'I have to spend the special season with my own family'. ;p

Cant wait for my own vacation!

Funny Preferences

Not until I met the lady friend who's so fixated about a man's virginity, I realize women have their own weird list of turnons and turnoffs (about men) - whether or not they are logical. :D I'll just do a short turnoff list this time.

No to non-v's
I havent given up trying to convince this friend about the topic.:p If you are an 18yr old girl dating an 18yr old guy, ok your requirement is fine. But if you are already 28 yrs old and dating 30+ yrs old guys, it will be too hard to filter out! Bka wala ng maiwan sa listahan mo! Besides, bka malamang ginusto naman nung babae nya, not something out of force. And also, I actually still wonder if it is fine to ask a guy his virginity status on the first few encounters. :p

No to veggie haters
It seems quite common to stumble upon men who dont eat veggies at all, I have a few male friends like that. I know of a lady friend who takes her veggies so seriously. To the point, if a guy picks on her like 'yikes puro gulay', her interest just drops so quickly. Likewise, it is so + points to her if a guy eats veggie.

and I figured out what my answer is :)

Apart from smelly/stinky scent (hygiene-related) which I seem to overly blogged in so many previous entries, let me share one more. Dont hate me for saying this, my interest level drops when guys have extremely BAD taste in women :). Come on, you are what you choose. I have a friend who has put it more harshly by saying 'basta nakapalda (pwede)'. Anyway honey, everyone's free to choose so me will be happy if you are happy. (hmm that rhymes)

I'm still X entries away from my ideal number of annual entries. With so few days left, I guess I have to write more useless entries like this one! :D

Christmas 2010 and Scribbles

Few days before Christmas time.. and yet i still dont genuinely feel it, except for a few parties on hand.

It's the first time I attempted to give a little christmas feel to my room. :)





This year was again a different year compared to previous years.

For one, I tried to move to a better job since I dont really seem to have a better reason to go home yet, I would wish I had, so as to spare me of some guilt... And this job has seized me by the neck. Fortunately things turn out ok so far, as they say the best way to conquer an enemy is to befriend him. Me and teammate are now ok, nilaglag nga lng ako pero tinulungan pa rin naman ako in the end :). Nothing much to rant.

I seemed to live in depression for about 2 months last year after the careles accident at home and rushing myself to emergency alone, dont worry I can laugh about it now. It might sound like a biggie, but this seems to be the most difficult issue I've faced after my dad passed away. Scary to be standing in the mirror everyday, trying to ignore the obvious but yet still thinking 'what the hell has just happened'. I felt uneasy, cant blame it women are women, they worry about how they look. When it's there, it's there, which is quite true. Thank God time heals all wounds, let's just leave it like that. Totally ignored.

And even I didnt expect I could regain the confidence and had this overwhelming photoshoot where I felt like a star. It was the first time I felt excited and insisted to my friend, 'hey put your (logo) watermark on it!' And I started using my marketing ideas for a tagline for her website, that is targeted to premium market. It goes something like this: 'Youth and beauty are priceless, let me capture them and make them forever'. She said 'wow, ang classy naman ng pagkaoffer ko, may talent ka sa mga ganyan ha'. Hehe of course I dont want to be the sole person to benefit from the effort, I think the pictures she has taken of me would be quite good to put in her website, the lighting, postproc, and my expressions are good (I dont know how I did it too) :) And as another advertising effort, I tried chitchatting with my MUA (make up artist) and she requested me to send her the pictures. I was betting maybe 50:50 she'll use use my pix. And yes, she liked it and put it on her website as well (cause it would also benefit her to show off her makeup and hairstyling skills). Sometimes you can kill two birds with one stone. Everybody happy kumbaga. :)

I didnt make good progress with love, if I can only force myself or teach my heart, I would have done so eons back. Sometimes my friend and I have this funny saying 'God kung magbibigay ka ng lalaki, lubus-lubusin mo naman sana, wag installment, may sablay eh' :))

I think my cooking skills have improved, or at least the decoration skills have :) My dishes look more appetizing now. I'm in the midst of honing my 'specialty dish' hehe. At least some fallback career when I retire, maybe I can do catering. Wow dream big! Honestly I cant cook for more than 2-3, mahirap magtantya talga. So there's much more practice needed here.

I travelled two places this year: Cambodia and Vietnam. I think I'm done with Southeast Asia. I like to travel, so many more spots to go. Yeah I love Europe and am still having this crazy idea that the time I'll be going there will be on honeymoon. My friend scolded me, 'gaga malaki ang Europe, just leave Italy and France on the last, until you get a yummy guy to marry to'. Ok this is normal for girltalk, dont squeak. Here's my converstaion with God: 'Lord, kung ndi mo pa ako bibigyan ng asawa, sana matinong travel buddy man lng '. :))

Stepping into 30 is again another scary number haha. But probably I just want to make peace with myself and hopefully be at peace with everyone. As much as possible I dont want to lie to myself anymore. Sometimes I feel I lie to myself too much. :D And I aint gonna worry about tomorrow. Life is just going to be simple. :)

One Year Again!

Tomorrow marks my 1yr at work. Hmm this is a milestone :D Time really flies.

I have so many things to say about this year! but too little time to blog. Still busy packing my balikbayan box at this second for my take-home goodies + disposal of my unwanted garbage as well :) As my sister puts it, 'wag mo na isama basura mo!' But what can I do, I dont have enough space!

Work is a little manageable now, no more instances to piss me off (keeping my fingers crossed). I suddenly become a release manager for the upcoming release next year, whatta name, but yeah I still prefer to be a follower, really! And oh there's occasional layoff (a dramatic one, I will blog next time). I care less now, kung matanggal man, SO? I'm really getting old, dont have the energy to waste time on these rants :D

Sharing one of my fave pix from the cheongsam shoot (aint over with it) :p I love this shot, my friend has labelled this as 'Wishful Thinking'. There seems to be elements of hope and tint of positivity. - exactly what I need, or everyone needs if I may say so. :)



Happy holidays!

P.S. I think this song suits the picture, one of my LSS last month

蘇打綠-無眠

你現在想著誰 有沒有和我相同的感覺
固執等著誰 卻驚覺已無法倒退
曾經想一起飛 在自己心中蓋了座花園
把你的一切 都種在這個地點
卻像魚守在裡面

Quick Translation:

who are you thinking of now, do we feel the same way
stubbornly waiting, yet knowing there's not much turning back
dreamt of flying together, grooming a garden in one's heart
have all about you, planted in this spot
and be like a fish, guarding inside it

It was too artsy, I am not sure how the garden relates to the fish, perhaps there's a fish pond inside it :p. But yeah even if I dont get it, anything catchy catches my attention. :)

Ooops dont dwell too much on the voice/gender or whatever, I dont know the gender too, but I like the lyrics and melody :)
