The Gaeity of A Woman

After a semester of paper works, lectures and executive meetings she still has the time to unwind with friends. We call her Nanay the word 'mother' in Filipino. I took this shot at The Site's Café Macumba in Rosario Arcade. Despite the bland-tasting chocolate muffins we ate, we had a great time listening to live music. =P

Me: Nay nag-usap na kayo?
Nanay: With whom..?
Me: Hmm. Her? (Napa-ngiti ako at napatingin sa kabilang café)
Nanay: Yeah Okey. Hindi.
Me: Bakit?
Nanay: We have nothing to talk about na.
Me: Ah okey. Uhmm. Kailan ulit ang regular classes?

Our Christmas Cake

Jam, my cousin, baked this. We call it The Nightmare Before Christmas Cake. LOL. Chocolate chip brownies with chocolate wafer sticks and marsh mallows. The kids loved it. Unfortunately, she doesn't accept any orders. I enjoyed eating it anyway and it tastes good. =P

I'm Going to The Laundromat

We got a pile of laundry for today so I'm headed to the nearest laundromat which is 2 km away from home. It reminded me of the song that I used to play back in college freshman year. This has nothing to do with anything personal anyway. Swear I didn't dance while doing the laundry. LOL. We also performed this song together with former officemates back in call center days. Miss the jamming really hope we can have the time guys! 'Soap, powder, bleach, towels, fabric softener... & let's not forget the food stains, dirt spots... '=P

Capitol University Glee Club: A Moment Like This

This is one of their line up in Busan International Chorale Competition last November of this year. I love their very own version of Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This. I would like to apologize for not providing you guys the best sound since I'm using an ordinary mp4 camera but I think this will do. Hope you enjoy the music! I wish this talented group the best more competition to join and awards to bag not only for the university and Cagayan de Oro but for the Philippines as well.=P

Turquoise: Halal is Healthy

Halal indeed is healthy. Urfa Kebap. Beef with herbs and pita garnished with lettuce, sliced tomatoes & fresh cucumber. Fries & rice add up the fullness. I reckoned we should have dine during Eid al-Adha (Feast of The Sacrifice) for it is a Muslim tradition to serve Halal food to everyone for free. LOL. =P

Mom & Grandma's Travelogue

This week I'm gonna post pictures of my Mom's and Grandma's trip to Canada (I hate you Ma! Grr). Since I've been deprived of my camera last week and haven't taken any shots lately, this will serve as a treat. :D I'm surprised that Mom can actually take good pictures. I was even worried she might forget how to use her cam. Older adults are too challenged to use new technology of any kind. LOL. This is Asia's oldest running airline, Philippine Airlines bound to Vancouver, Canada. :P I hope PAL will make more improvements in their services since she is the country's flag carrier. :D

My Heartfelt Gratitude to All Who Remembered...

I was a bit busy last week with my intensive review for my upcoming exam and my brother borrowed my camera so that explains the dull facade of this demented blog. I miss snapping pictures non-stop. Well I hope I can catch up for this week. Anyway, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people who remembered my natal day! First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for His saving grace, and for blessing me this year which includes passing 2 important exams in my profession (Jeremiah 29.11 I believe the promise). Of course, Mom & Dad, Dan & Darius.

Thank You so much...
