[Project 297] Week 7

Day 41: Red Pills

Been suffering from a terrible headache and popping these red pills since yesterday. Spent most of the day slumped over my desk, too lazy to function. Blame it on the insanely hot weather! Argh! :(

04.20.10
Day 42: While The City Sleeps

Paseo de Roxas at 1:30 AM. Car-free, pedestrian-free, traffic-free. Now that's something I don't see everyday. Hehe.

04.21.10
Day 43: Reflections

Twas a very long and busy day at work that I failed to take a photo for today. So I just rummaged through some older shots, hoping to find something that I could somehow relate to today.
Happy monthsary Furanzu! :*

04.22.10
Day 44: Aliens On The Walls

I've always wanted to take a picture of this colorful street art but everytime I pass by, there's always a car parked in front of it. This morning, I finally had a clear shot of the wall! Yippee! If only the "MMDA Art" looks like this. Hehe.

04.23.10
Day 45: Takushi De

Rendered extra extra extra hours of work for four days straight. I now have a nasty red pimple on my forehead and dark circles under my eyes. Not only has it taken its toll on my face, but on my wallet as well. Packing up at an ungodly hour left me with no choice but to take a cab home. Hence, a wad of hundreds in my wallet quickly thinned out to nothing but a pale purple memory. Wah. Thank God it's Friday. Thank God this will soon be over. :)

04.24.10
Day 46: Hey Sole Sister

We were supposed to check out this year's MYOH at the Rockwell tent. But there was a long snake of a line when we arrived and waiting in line for 3-4 hours didn't sound very appealing. So instead of walking out of the mall with a customized pair of Havies, we walked out with new E-Manila shirts from Team Manila. Ahihi. ;))

04.25.10
Day 47: Light A Candle

I light this candle in memory of my mom's aunt, Lola Connie. May her soul rest in peace.

[Project 297] Week 6

04.12.10
Day 34: Nihon Ni Ikitai

With its advance technology and rich culture, Japan is one of the many places that I want to visit some day. Sure, it's a non-English speaking country and I could only speak and understand little Japanese. But as long as I could say "Yes" (Hai), "No" (Iie), "How much?" (Ikura desu ka), "I don't understand" (Wakarimasen) and "Where is the CR?" (Otearai wa dochira desu ka?), then I could more or less survive, I guess. Hehe.

04.13.10
Day 35: Pen And Paper

Attended a seminar regarding Oracle's newest product - the Exadata V2. With the use of a parallel grid architecture, flash cache technology, and InfiniBand connections, this machine claims to be the world's fastest for both data warehousing and OLTP. Hmm, sweet. I don't think we'll get to use this powerful box any time soon, though.

More pictures here!

04.14.10
Day 36: Bottom's Up

Downed a bottle of soya from Fruit Magic for lunch. It tasted better than Soy Master's strawberry-flavored variant. Plus it has this nice body and an even nicer butt! The bottle, I mean. So yeah, I'm a Soy Magic convert and I'm sooo gonna try all the other flavors!

04.15.10
Day 37: Tokidoki Wall

Took this photo while waiting in line for my turn to use the ATM. I've seen these Tokidoki designs in bags and wallets before but I've never really appreciated its cuteness. Not until I saw this wall! Hehe.

04.16.10
Day 38: Kruffin: A Muffin With A Hole

Krispy Kreme has been around the country for a decade now but I could still count the number of times that I walked into a KK store with one hand. That's because I never really liked their doughnuts. They're too sweet and too pricey for me. Like ridiculously so on both counts! But with their newest line of Baked Creations, I'll be sure to drop by their store every chance I get. Blueberry Kruffin is LoVe. Ahihi.

04.17.10
Day 39: Ka-Angkan Festival 2010

Angkan Angkan is an annual event celebrated during the foundation week of Marikina. It serves as a big family reunion of the different clans in the city. We get to meet very distant relatives like my father's mother's cousin's daughter's son and my father's father's cousin's niece's ex-husband. Haha.

04.18.10
Day 40: Elevator Going Up

Visited Tita Janet at The Medical City. She underwent a surgery to remove a cyst found in her ovary. She was still barely able to talk due to her condition. But still pretty, nonetheless. :) We'll all be praying for her fast recovery.

[Project 297] Week 5

04.05.10
Day 27: Die Zomboss, Die!

Yey! My house is now forever safe from all kinds of zombies! Time for me to wash the dirt off my hands coz I'm done planting sunflowers, pea shooters and cherry bombs. Sorry Dr. Zomboss, but you can't have my brain. >:P

04.06.10
Day 28: XO! Bad Badtz Maru!

Hi! I'm Badtz Maru from Oahu, Hawaii. I love fighting for the wrong side and I love making fun of silly things. They say I have an attitude problem. I say I have an attitude. And they have the problem.

Got these ubongs from Candice: A cute Bad Badtz Maru pen, stickers and a B&BW foaming sanitizer! Wee, thanks! Batsu Maru Batsu Maru! :)

04.07.10
Day 29: Eat Me Bibe One More Time!

Cands treated us to a yummy dinner at Peking Garden. Told myself that I wouldn't eat too much duck, lest I give myself another headache. But who could resist that golden crispy skin?! Waah! Screw headache! There's Biogesic, anyway. Hehe.

Thanks Candice! We all missed you! See you again soon! :)

04.08.10
Day 30: Palette Of Colors

Attended a mini brownbag conducted by our graphics design team. Web and graphics design have always piqued my interest. I even took Multimedia as my elective class back in college and I actually considered pursuing a career in the arts. But different opportunities presented themselves and I just decided to follow a different route. Oh well. Looking forward to the next brownbag sessions! ^_^

04.09.10
Day 31: Rock The Boat

Went to the La Mesa Ecopark with Derick, Meds and Joan. We were supposed to do some wall climbing, boating and zip lining. But being the shutterbugs that we are, we ended up spending the entire afternoon taking pictures after pictures of anything and everything that caught our wandering eyes! Hehe. Mga adiiik!

More pictures here!

04.10.10
Day 32: Untitled

Can't think of anything to shoot today. Can't even think of a decent caption for this entry. Waha.

04.11.10
Day 33: Sacred Heart

Visited my mom's aunt at UERM hospital. Met a lot of relatives for the first time. Most of them just flew in from the States after almost 20 years of living there. Needless to say, every conversation I had with them left my nose bleeding profusely! Effort! Hehe.

[Project 297] Week 4

03.29.10
Day 20: Rejoining The Rush

My phone's headset connector is no longer busted and I'm back to being a Rusher! Yey for me!!! ^_^

03.30.10
Day 21: Happy Food! :)

In celebration of my first year anniversary with GlobalOne, I stuffed myself with what I consider to be my happy food! Frozen yogurt from California Berry! It's delicious, it's healthy, it's good for my digestion and it's fat free! Save for the dark choco chips topping that I had. Hehe. Happiness! :)

03.31.10
Day 22: Drink Your Vote

Forty days before the election and I'm still undecided on who to vote for President. With all these black propaganda and counter-propaganda and counter-counter-propaganda, I'm left scratching my head in confusion. Am I to vote for the candidate who doesn't have an impressive track record as Senator but is now running under an advocacy of a clean government? Or am I to vote for the candidate who worked his way up from Congress, to Senate, to being the Speaker of the House and Senate President but is now confronted with a barrage of controversies and cases of corruption?

As Anthony Enriquez Tiu said, there's no such thing as a perfect candidate. But we could all cast a perfect vote. A vote that has been carefully studied and a vote that we could put up with for the next six years.

I only have one vote. And I can't afford to let it go to waste. So to those who are in the same boat as I am, take time to read through each of the candidates' profile, political achievements, programs and platforms. And since it's a holyweek, let's also ask for God's guidance that He may lead us towards a better Philippines.

Get to know your Presidentiables:
Noynoy Aquino
JC de los Reyes
Richard Gordon
Jamby Madrigal
Nicanor Perlas
Gilbert Teodoro
Bro. Eddie Villanueva
Manny Villar

Day 23: Everybody's Fool

Attention all caffeine addicts! Starbucks introduced two new beverage sizes today - the Micra and the Plenta. Need a quick shot of your caffeine fix? There's the 2oz. Micra cup that could give you just that. Need to be awake for at least 72 hours? Then there's the Plenta cup, which is 128 ounces of your favorite Starbucks coffee! Read the complete article here.

And did I mention that today's the day that you shouldn't believe everything you read? ;)

04.02.10
Day 24: The Passion Of The Christ

Look at the cross and see what mankind can do to God and what God can do for mankind. This Good Friday, let us be reminded of Christ's unfailing love and ultimate sacrifice as He died on the cross for our sins.

04.03.10
Day 25: Zoo-Wee Mama!

Watched the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie with Franz at Promenade. It was cute and funny and I love it! Love it so much I'm buying the books! Yup, all four of them! Who cares if it's a children's book?! Bata pa naman ako ah. Wehe. =P

04.04.10
Day 26: Not In My Hands

The Easter Bunny failed to leave me some Easter eggs. But I got something much much better - M&M's Peanut! Yum! =P~

Now on to a more important note, Easter isn't really about bunnies, and eggs, and chocolates. It's about the resurrection of Christ and His promise of eternal life. Through His resurrection, He conquered man's greatest enemy, which is death. And as believers, we share His victory. Death has lost its sting. It is no longer the end for us but a new beginning of an eternity with Him! Happy Easter! :)
