Mondays and Santino

Monday, February 8, 2010

It’s another Monday. Frankly, I’m feeling lazy to work, but what can I do? My only thought is that another weekend is coming!

Another good thing is that, in the final episode of May Bukas Pa, Santino lived on the see another day [we need anti aging products here please!]! I remember my officemates and I talking about the final episode last Friday and asking ourselves whether Santino would die or live.

I swear, I have never watched a single episode of the series…but last Friday, I was crying buckets of tears! My sister told me, “Ano ba yan ate! Over! Di ka naman nanonood nyan! Bakit affected ka?” Well, I don’t watch, but I know Santino, and add those artists in white crying, praying, and singing the them song, sino ba naman ang di maiiyak?!

Good thing is that it was a happy ending, enough get this Monday off to a good start.

Yay! Santino lives!

Have a great week everyone!

Remembering the days

Remember my delight when I saw the old typewriter at my father’s shop?

Well, imagine my smile when I saw this at Cubao expo yesterday:

 

Remember this type of phone? HE! he!

I had a fun time dialing [kunwari-kunwarian lang, of course] and remembering the good old days. I let Wendy try it also because she hadn’t had the chance to use this kind of a phone. Di-pindot na agad ang naabutan nya. She actually said that it was fun using this phone! :)

It’s nice to reminisce that before there ps3 games or high-tech cell phones, or i-pods, there were these stuff. It’s nice to remember the good old days!

Wendy the artist

They say that inspiration may come anywhere. Well, for Wendy, sometimes, her art inspirations come when we are eating. At times, she loves playing with leftover food and making a masterpiece with all the vegetables, meat, bread, or soup that is left. Ang mahirap nga lang, sometimes, she lets us “taste” her plate, ala Top Chef daw. An example is the box belowe that she used as her “medium.” After eating, she immediately created something out of the box: a heart within a heart box daw! He! he! Amazing!

 


Well, anyway, I’m happy because Wendy likes arts. Sometimes, when she is bored, all she needs are pencil/pen and a paper, and off she goes drawing. When she has an assignment for school that involves anytthing that needs artistic talent, she does not ask help from me anymore. I wonder if that means she has confidence in her arts skill or she has no confidence in mine. :)

As long as she keeps this up, perhaps, when she grows up, no need to look for finance jobs, just and easel and paint!

Dear John

Saturday, February 6, 2010

Here’s a quick shoutout to those who loved the Nicholas Sparks book Dear John: The movie is now showing.

Starring  Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, the movie should be a tearjerker.

Dear John was one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books. It really doesn’t have a happy ending, but that is what makes it more realistic. But happy ending or not, it speaks of a universal language that Sparks always incorportaes in his books: true and lasting love.

So if you loved the book, try to catch the movie and munch some popcorn before you get rid of belly fat.

A different kind of image

Somebody’s been taking prenatal vitamins

Try to see if you can find the baby.

 

If you can’t, here’s a clue: it’s an image of the head of the baby. Do you see it now? So cute ano! The technology today is so amazing. All I had before was the 1-dimensional ultrasound. Now, I hear that there is even a 4-diensional ultrasound!

Do you see it now? If you still haven’t, look at it as the baby lying down. The eyes are closed, the cheeks are puffy, and the nose and mouth are puffed! Amazing ano?

Oh, the miracle of life!

Mind boggling

Friday, February 5, 2010

Here’s one interesting e-mail sent by a friend. It really is mind-boggling to think about it, I might need a KVM switch for my brain.

 Have a history teacher explain this—– if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F.  Kennedy  was  elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham  Lincoln was  elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy  was elected President in 1960.

Both were  particularly concerned with civil  rights.
Both wives lost their children while  living in the White  House.

Both Presidents were shot on a  Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the  head.

Now it gets really  weird.

Lincoln ’s secretary was named  Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named  Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by  Southerners.
Both were succeeded by  Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew  Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in  1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy,  was born in 1908.

John  Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born  in 1839. Lee  Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was  born  in  1939.

Both  assassins were known by their three  names.
Both names are composed of fifteen  letters.

Now hang on to your  seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater  named ‘Ford’.
Kennedy was shot in a car  called ‘ Lincoln ‘ made by  ’Ford’.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and  his assassin ran and hid in a  warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse  and his assassin ran and hid in a  theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

 

Incredible!

I need a Facebook account!

Reports say that teens or the youth are preferring Facebook over Twitter over blogging. Moreover, the report goes on to say:

…blogging among teens and young adults has plummeted to half what it was in 2006. In that year, 28% of teens ages 12-17 and adults ages 18-29 were bloggers. By the fall of 2009, the numbers had dropped to 14% of teens and 15% of young adults. During the same period, the percentage of online adults over 30 who were bloggers rose from 7% in 2006 to 11% in 2009.

…Aase also says some teenagers may grow back into blogging as they hit adulthood: “Blogging has become a way to communicate with the world, about more meaningful issues, not just about communicating to friends.”

In short, the older you are [especially if you need wrinkle creams and HGH supplements], the more you tend to blog! He! He!

Perhaps it’s time for me to open a Facebook account! :)

I’m excited for the weekend that I don’t need a super pump 250 to hype me up! I know that work today will just pass by in a jiff! Oh how I love Fridays! They are like the gateweay to relaxation!

Happy weekend everyone! Enjoy!

Toasted alive

Have you noticed how hot it is lately? Grabe!

For the last few days, going home at 2 pm has been a torture. Our parking lot is not covered, so imagine going in the car at that time! It’s like being in an oven! I even bought those sun shades for the car, but the heat is still unbearable! Good thing though that when we work, we are comfortably seated in airconditioned offices! I can just imagine those who work on the streets, such as police men, traffic enforcers, delivery persons, etc [they would be needing accutane for their skin!]! How hard it is to work in sweltering heat!

And gosh, and it’s just the start of February! Isn’t February supposed to be one of the coldest months?

I just hope that it won’t get any hotter. [Wishful thinking ba?]

Australian Open 2009

The outcome of the men’s championship broke my heart…especially seeing Roger Federer in tears…

  

Federer in tears after his loss to Rafael Nadal. What emotions! I felt the pain too!

 

Federer looks at the cup he has held three times in the past, then being handed to Rafael Nadal.

 

**********

 

Australian Open 2010

Oh yes, what a difference 12 months can make! I can now watch the Australian Open again!

 

Now, it was Andy Murray’s turn to look, with tears, at the championship cup.

 

   

What a nice picture for a Federer fan: Federer wins the Australian Open for the fourth time! I’ll make sure I’ll save this in a flash drive! What a moment!

 

On to the French Open!!!!
