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

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

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.

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 love Fridays!

“I always give 100% at work:

13% on Mondays

22% on Tuesdays

26% on Wednesdays

35% on Thursdays

4% on Fridays”

And today is Friday, so I guess you know how it is going to be at work for me today! He! He! I just hope that my boss does not read my blog!!!

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?]

Now, I can watch AO again!

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!!!!

Back

I’m back from a 5-day vacation and now typing away again at work!!!

Well, just having gone back from a vacation and going straight to work is no mean feat, especially when it was no ski vacation but lots of walking and sight-seeing plus a little bit of shopping. But that does not mean I did not enjoy Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, because I did! As with every new place I go to, every experience is very much welcome!

I will write posts on our trip soon. But for now, I’ve got to get back to work, or else, my supervisor might find a reason to fire me! He! He!

Have a great week everyone!
