It's awful how I cannot write yet about the recent events that just happened. Sucks how I cannot upload the photos yet from Saturday's Dekada: Sugarfree with the Manila Symphony Orchestra. It'll have to wait until office hours. Boo. Now, this could probably be my driving force to finally ring the company with regards to my lost CC.
Yesterday, I finally watched Dinig Sana Kita with Kimi and the Cheese. It was okay. Makes you want to appreciate your ears more (actually all your senses). I love it though simply because Sugarfree was in it. How wonderful. <3!
Edit: I know itsounds too mababaw so I promise to write a better review of it soon sans Sugarfree. Heehee.
That twenty-something girl is now in her thirties. Still grappling life, still travelling.

Soul Searching*
Today is my maternal grandmother's birthday, you know, the one where my mother got my first name. So here's to you and many more years ahead. I wish you good, good health.
~~
Obviously, I wasn't able to post yesterday. I was sick and was not able to come to the office, no work, no office internet connection, no blog post. There. I hate being sick. It's totally the worst feeling in the world, aside from being alone of course. And it is especially worse because no one's around to take care of you, cook warm soup for you or just someone to yell at you to take your meds.
That's why I thank the Cheese for taking the extra mile(s) to come and visit sick-o me. Thanks for the Chicken Alfredo and the Gatorades. :)
~~
Even the boss can be frustrated. Why of course they're human too. Whatever it was that was bugging him certainly became too much for him to handle that I supposed, his guard was momentarily let down.
It amazes me somehow, while he can be a pain in the arse, he can very well be a nice chap too. People. He's nice. As a friend. For a boss, maybe not really.. :D
You're just 22. Enjoy yer life. Leave if you must, if you can. Never stay for the wrong reasons. Smile na!
*cos that's what's playing in my list!

Adventure Is Out There!
Everytime Pixar releases a new animation film, it feels like "this one can never be topped" but hey look here comes another one and you say "now this one sure couldn't be topped". Despite the sheer impossibility of flying your house by balloons (even with thousands of them), of it being unrealistic, the message of UP though, rings loud and true.
That it is never too late to have an adventure. Whether you're 8 or 77, you can still make your own adventure, can still relive your long time dreams of adventure.
That adventure can either be found outside the comfort of your own house but sometimes it can also be found there inside yourself. An adventurous "you" that haven't been let out. For Mr. Carl Fredericksen, his and Ellie's childhood dream was realized only after almost 7 decades but certainly time is nothing. For Russell, it started quite early. Kids' idea of "adventure" and having that adventure in reality is quite different, definitely different. Something that Russell realized somewhere along the trip.
And while we adults cringe with the unthinkable scenes from the film (as kids all around shrieked with utter delight), I never doubted though the production's underlying message to all its possible viewers, to the humaneness of each characters, be it a bird, a child, a dog or a grumpy old man.
But perhaps, my favoritest scene in UP, the one responsible for tears welling up from my eyes so instantly, would have to be that scene where Russell was absently blabbering about fond memories of his always-absent father. Eating ice cream at Fenton's, counting blue and red cars and so on. He seemed so happy reminiscing about those days realizing how boring it sounded, but then goes on saying it maybe be boring but it's what he remembers best.
Or something like that. I have to see it again and remember it word for word. But the essence is there. Russell was a kid who was just yearning for affection that his own father was too busy to give which he certainly found from Carl. And boy, Carl does not disappoint at the end.
All in all, it was such a fun and heartwarming film that I sure as hell will watch again and again and again..

Because I am such a fan girl, of course I will write about this small coincidence. Lookit, the admission ticket I got had Ebe's face on it. Yes, he is undoubtedly my favorite among the boys. :D
Last night at SaGuijo will perhaps be one of the most intoxicating, if not memorable, night for me as a Sugarfree fan. I might have committed the biggest booboo of all time by leaving my Mornings and Airports CD, the poster certainly made up for it. It's my second signed poster after Dramachine. How time flies eh. I loff you guys!

Pre-post
Tomorrow, the Cheese will be celebrating his 24th birthday, there will be no flashy surprises nor any fancy party . Work simply ruins everything heehee.
Kidding aside, I just want the Cheese to be happy. I know I always tell my friends that I wish them happiness always, everytime. Well, he is no exception. I wish him happiness today, tomorrow and for years to come. From whomever or whatever that happiness may come from, that is solely up to him.
Cheers to you Sleepyhead! I'll see you tomorrow.

10 Reasons You Are Rich
With the horrible slowness of internet connection (I'm fairly aware that it is Asia-wide, darn those undersea cable disruption), we were merely reduced to being very angry and irritated employees. Not exactly towards someone in particular but Man, if you're job depends greatly on the internet then we're kinda doomed here.
And so it goes, with people trying to figure things out about what to do with all that undersea cables shebang, we've resorted to cursing and cussing. How sad. I hope this does not continue til next weekend cos seriously it is NO fun.
On a not so serious note, today is my half-sister's birthday, you know the one I took care of as a baby, ended up bitching my life for a few years as a kid (hehe) but is now a mother already. Boy it's another cycle. Anywhere, wherever she is I hope she's getting by just fine.
~~
I found this stuff while bloghopping (as usual). It was simple and heartwarming that it made me say a silent thank you to the Almighty Supreme Being out there because surely I am rich. :)

Wednesday LOVE
With the recent death of American film director John Hughes, I am giving him an honorary space here in my unknown cyber webpage because once in my lonesome college days, I dreamed of being born in the 80s after watching Some Kind Of Wonderful in our library. It was followed by Sixteen Candles (which I saw on cable) and The Breakfast Club (watched in PC after downloading it from Limewire).
While I have watched most of his films, there are unfortunately, some important films he've done that I haven't able to watch. I really want to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off that started Matthew Broderick's career in acting and the movie that made Molly Ringwald the official princess of the 80s (Pretty in Pink). Guess 'tis the season to catch up on it now!
I'm pretty sure this guy would be greatly missed. I find Mr. Hughes to be a really cool man for making the films he did. He popularized the normal and ordinary teenage turmoils, created the Brat Pack of 80s and made Uncle Buck and the two Home Alones!
Rest in peace Mr. Hughes!

It's a Date!
After a very frustrating Friday (and detaining myself inside the crampy room), Sunday was a breeze, thanks to the Cheese, who insisted to pay for everything. The movie and the merienda in Bubble Tea.
I did not expect to like GI Joe, I only relented because the Cheese wants to watch it. I didn't know them much because I never got to watch the show when I was a kid. Me and my cousins have places to see each afternoon after classes, we don't really stay in front of the telly unless it's the morning cartoon shows. Haha. So anyway, with all the nano technologies, super technologies, warheads and flying a blackbird, I quite enjoyed the film cos I didn't expect anything from it. And oh, I liked Scarlett not Duke.Not much of A Channing Tatum fan ever since.

Word!
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."
Oo nga naman. May point si pareng Lance Armstrong. :D
