foodtrip

finally i got my sodexho passes and they're good as cash. food trip today and watched a korean horror flick at home called 'bloody reunion' a.k.a To Sir, with Love (2006 film). it was psychological horror thriller as well. i'm feeling kinda lazy today so you may check out the synopsis here.

coffee luv.

i watched "monster's inc's" dvd rip las night. t'was really for kids. i loved the copy though, it's crystal clear.  

i love 711's coffee-on-the-go especially the cappuccino one. i recently tasted their blueberry tea latte and at first it tasted weird for a tea but the as i went along, i realized it's such a calming drink. 

coffee complete my day.

life and plastics...

i went on dvd marathon yesterday until the break of dawn. i watched whispering corridors 5 (blood pledge), another korean horror flick  about high school girls with such urge or should i say inkling for suicide. i don't understand why suicide is such a thing with asian horror movies. i heard couple of korean actresses who committed suicide long time ago and one of which was a casts in boys over flower, a korean soap/drama. i don't know why they resort to suicide all the time whilst they could go to a shrink first or something. although, i have a feeling that extreme peer pressure is usually the best impetus for suicide as pictured in their movies. suicide is not a way to address problems as it'll just make things worst for the ones that'll be left behind aside from it'll automatically entitle the person a one way ticket to hell since it's a mortal sin. it's such a selfish act, really.

moving on, i went to the salon this morning and had my hair re-bonded for the 3rd time. it's been 9 months so it's just fair to pamper myself. i went to david's salon and i was told it would cost Php7k. good thing, one of the senior hair stylist assessed my hair and i was then advised it'll only cost Php4,5k. I seriously will not spend that much for my hair, that's just not practical. i was satisfied it did not take so long.

me and my burnt taste buds...

I just came back home last night from an overnight out of town trip in pansol, laguna for a company outing. the place we rented was nice, has a private pool and 3 big air-conditioned rooms with toilet and bath. some of us did not get some sleep since it turned out to be an overnight swimming and karaoke. the pool was really inviting and all i did was dipped my feet and watch the greeneries surrounding the resort. it rained in the afternoon and i even more wanted to go home since i was not supposed to stay long there due to other commitments i have. the overnight stay was like forever. 

so good things never last
LITEON 8x external dvd writer 

price: P3,600
our HP dvd writer is no good anymore because the lens might've been broken so were left with no choice but to buy a new one. it worked flawlessly as usual, that's how awesome new stuff work when they're new anyways.

moving on, i watched this thai horror flick called 'coming soon.' it wasn't that scary but it's thrilling. you may check out the synopsis here.

i love buko pie (coconut pies) and where else will you find them but laguna, the home of the popular colette's buko pie. i think of laguna every time i think of buko pies. 

a tribute to cory...

i was able to catch the necrological mass for cory held at the manila cathedral on tv and as soon as i got home, McDo's mc chicken is waiting for me. my sister ordered it whilst i was on the bus on my way home. whenever i turn on the tv and watch the local news, cory's wake is all over the news. it still makes me teary eyed whenever i see how the filipinos loved cory and united for the very last time to pay homage to her.  she may not be a perfect leader when she was elected president but then, let's not forget the turmoil after the marcos regime. how can you expect a country to be in a spic and span order after martial law? our country back then struggled economically and no president, not even the smartest one, is able to cure an ailing country trying to move on. she was a mother, she gathered the nation and united everyone once and for all thus led to a monumental fragment of our history, the epitome of all edsa revolution. the succeeding edsa revolts were what i consider series of mockery, the country has gained it's democracy and all we filipinos need to do is to nurture it and protect the country from all threats towards our freedom. our forefathers fought for it and hopefully we learn to value the freedom we are all benefit from to date. thus, i salute cory...for her bravery, for being a mother to the nation, for her simplicity and composure amidst all the trials she and her family had been through & for her strong faith in God. so much has been said...but words are not enough for me to express how grateful i am for this freedom. i am proud to say this country fought for it's liberty. 

it was a bit drizzling outside on my way to work last monday. although  i was a delighted to see yellow ribbons tied on poles along ayala avenue and banners for cory and ninoy. it's like relieving edsa all over again but this time to unite all filipinos in peace and celebrate the life of cory aquino.  from the 37th floor of RCBC tower 2, i saw down btelow ons of people holding banners and wearing nothing but yellow flooding the streets of ayala. it was so monumental. i was envious when my sister told me she walked along ayala avenue and was lucky enough to see cory's casket. so my only way to commemorate her death is by simply paying homage to cory and used this yellow ribbon on my facebook account as my primary pic and cory's vectorized photo from deviantart for my Friendster profile. the color yellow will always represent CORY!

so long goodbye...

i was appalled after i hear the news this morning that the former president cory aquino already passed away. i'm aware she's been battling with colon cancer since march of last year, however, it felt like a very short period of time. may she rest in peace and see her beloved husband again in the afterlife. she will truly be missed. Cory is our first female President.
