Waiting for New Moon

November 3rd, 2009

Praline

Honestly, I’m not quite certain when is the premier of New Moon here in Cebu but I’m definitely looking forward to watching it, mostly because I’m curious whether the movie will turn out to be a disappointment just like the first one or it might turn out entertaining. I’m neither a fan of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, both I think are really amateur poor actors but I’m a big fan of the Twilight Saga books by Stephenie Meyer. I love reading books and luckily a friend at work lent me the first book and after that, I was hooked.

Foto-Booth Pictorial

October 25th, 2009

Praline

Last September 25, 2009, we celebrated our ♥ Customer Service and Employee Appreciation Week ♥ and boy was it interesting! Our company not only prepared food but also hired the services of ♥ Foto-Booth ♥ to take unlimited photos of everyone from 11pm that night till 5am the next day. Obviously everybody had a great time doing their cool, sexy, hip poses. As for my ♥ office pals ♥, we had a BLAST! Well some of us I guess. hehe We kept having our pictures taken again and again! I wasn’t really happy with how the pictures turned out since the person behind the camera wasn’t so much of a help. But I wouldn’t blame her for being such a spoilsport. It’s not easy having to be on your feet the whole night taking pictures of other people but hey, it’s your job right? so why complain? Anyways, here are our ♥ goofy shots ♥ during the photo shoot.

Street Children

August 26th, 2009

Praline

Problems and stress…I worry too much about a lot of things but every time I see ♥ kids♥ covered in dirt sleeping just by the side walk oblivious to the scurrying crowd, I feel compassion and guilt. I ask myself why I worry too much when these kids have deeper and even worse problems than us. Compared to the life that awaits these kids, my worries are minuscule.

2010 Philippine Elections

August 24th, 2009

Praline

I know the Philippine elections will still be held this coming May of next year but it wouldn’t hurt to start contemplating who you would elect to take the highest and most influential posts in the country. Though, I’m proud to be amongst the Filipino people of this Nation but unfortunately it’s a shame that most leaders care more about their political ambitions rather than the country’s adversities and social reforms. I just hope that All, if not most of us, would come to realize this important decision so as to create hope for our country especially to those who are considered the country’s poor. Blaming the country’s huge population is not the sole issue why the Philippines suffer from poverty but a corrupt government and abusive leaders.

Weekend with Val and Baby Vaughn

August 23rd, 2009

Praline

My way to spend a really great day is to be with my hubby ♥Val♥ and ♥baby Vaughn♥. Yesterday, Val took this picture of Vaughn and I in IT Park, Cebu City. We spent the day watching Vaughn with amusement as he walked, ran and tripped on the grass . Vaughn is only a year and 3 months old so he’s still in the process of perfecting his walk . Val and I felt really happy just to spend even these hours with Vaughn. He’s just so adorable we can’t help feeling thankful and lucky to have him in our lives. Here I am again, feeling vulnerable just thinking of ♥Val♥ and ♥Vaughn♥. The feeling is quite indescribable really, however, I’m happy to feel this kind of happiness.

Rough Day at Thinking Tools

August 6th, 2009

Praline

Sorry we haven’t posted anything new lately. We just really had a bizarre week so to speak. Last Monday, we suddenly observed an annoying red vertical line on our laptop’s monitor. I got anxious because the line didn’t disappear even after we’ve done the basic troubleshooting stuff we’ve learned from work (i.e. rebooting, etc). I suddenly had this gut feeling that there was something wrong with our LCD panel.
