Up early

Our tree has been up for quite a few days now. Can you feel the holidays yet?

Time off

I think I just need to take some time off. Hopefully this Saturday, before the review, I could do just that.

Dilemma

Why do your loved ones make it hard for you to love them unconditionally?

Anticipation

I miss my school majorly. It's been a month. I'll be back this Saturday.

I crave Cold Rock

We're fast approaching December and it's still uncharacteristically hot and humid. I really really crave ice cream. Cold Rock specifically.

My college friend Coco has been raving about Cold Rock for the longest time already but by the time I was willing to try it, the branch at Mall of Asia (which is closest to school) was already gone.

I finally was able to grab a cup when my best friend Maricar treated me on my birthday at Greenbelt. I realized what I've been missing for the past few years! It was absolutely heavenly, and despite the exorbitant prices, I'd say it was well worth it.

Cold Rock gives us our sugar high!

Oh, southbound.ph, the best online resource for South people like me, is running a promo for Cold Rock lovers. Just share your own Cold Rock experience and you could win gift certificates from Cold Rock.

Now those photos just made me crave even more...

13:58 No internet in the office. Ugh. #
22:49 Oh my. Explosion in SM Megamall. #
22:54 I want those Coffee Bean journals. But I must save. #
01:53 My overpriced wooden bed just randomly broke. Hope it's still under warranty. #

14:45 Another pizza and ice cream party at the office. #

07:35 I saw an Altis as a taxi along Roxas Blvd. What's next, a Camry? #

10:13 Robinsons' Woodville City is looking good. #

Friday, November 21, 2008

10:12 I've weaned myself off Digg and Mob Wars so I could find time to review on my own. #
11:29 A lot of NGN equipments in the South Manila area are down, and I'm getting a lot of calls but I'm alone in the office. #
16:24 I'm getting a taste of my first undertime. So sweet. #
16:42 Where can I buy shoe trees and leather balm? #
17:09 Kinder Bueno is just heavenly. I love. #
17:13 SM's information counter is just useless. #

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

09:11 Garden accent shopping with my boss. #
12:37 Was forced to look at the Big Boss's model warplanes. #
17:47 Exchanging my McJim wallet for another one. Good thing I'm charming. #
18:03 Looks like 3 or 4 more shops are opening at Southmall's Food Street. #

13:24 The new Starbucks Planners are ugly. But I'm positive people would still go into a tizzy getting one. Starbucks will have huge profits here. #

15:30 This review is driving me crazy. Three whole courses in 1 day. #

Sunday, November 16, 2008

09:43 Krispy Kreme and Red Ribbon mango cake for breakfast. Hello flabs. #
17:05 I'm early for the review. So I'm trolling around the FEU area. #

11:21 I never knew there are many posh villages in Alabang besides AAV and Alabang Hills. #

Thursday, November 13, 2008

14:32 It's a miracle. I'm reviewing on my own with my laptop beside me. #

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

17:42 Once again service at CDR King is horrible. 2 ladies at the counter, 4 in the storeroom. #
22:01 Apple Online Store Philippines is now up. Niiiccee. #

08:35 I am a walking zombie. Lifeless and lethargic. Like a programmed robot, I go through with my daily life. #
10:07 I'm craving for some Japanese after looking at chuvaness's photos. #
10:29 That's it. I'm going to Tokyo Tokyo now. That's all I could afford after the crazy weekend and a student budget. #
15:44 I actually ate at Almon Marina. I almost forgot that restaurant. It's unpretentious, cheap, and evokes memories of La Casita. #

Monday, November 10, 2008

17:35 Two cups of coffee and one cup of Coke yet still groggy. I hate reviews. #
20:59 It's only 9pm but I'm dead tired. It's been a long day. #

Sunday, November 9, 2008

16:19 drools over Onitsuka Tiger shoes. #
17:36 My legs hurt. I shuttled back and forth between Greenbelt and Glorietta. #
18:03 Just saw a Joanna Jesh bus in EDSA. Aren't they banned? #
20:16 I'm stuffed. A feast was thrown by the board passers. #
00:51 Damn. I'll start my review classes early tomorrow and I'm still wide awake! Irresponsible. #

Saturday, November 8, 2008

17:55 On my way to Greenbelt #

Friday, November 7, 2008

11:16 Alone in the office for more than 3 hours now. #

Will this get me arrested?

I would get this if I have money to spare and if I am a tote-carrying male.

If you have 15 euros to spare (10 for the actual bag, and 5 for shipping), then head on here to order your very own attention-grabber.

The Presidents

Great illustration by Patrick Moberg.

14:39 Congratulations to Obama, although I still like Hillary. #
14:43 My review classes will start on Sunday instead of Saturday. This changes all of my weekend plans. #

R & R

I'm looking forward to a weekend of fun and food. Yet, I am anxious of the upcoming review. But it would be nice to old friends again.

08:10 Why? Why did I let this barber cut my hair? I should've just waited 2 hours in the salon I frequent. My hair is terrible. #

I'm scared

I've been feeling depressed lately. I guess I've been thinking too much about my upcoming review for the board exams.

It's all about change.

Here I am, just settling into the daily routine of participating in this mess called internship, and I'm faced with another challenge, the review.

I am also scared. Scared of failure.

Lacking

I'm getting sick of my workplace.

It's 100% machismo, 0% finesse. Yes, I need a little bit of pretentiousness to keep me sane.

13:07 Alabang Town Center is like a ghost town, compared to a normal Saturday. #
19:16 Was able to buy a couple of shirts and a pair of pants. Not really a very productive day of shopping, considering all the sales. #

Saturday, November 1, 2008

11:20 My bosses and I are going to SM just for the heck of it. #
11:31 There are a lot of trick-or-treaters here in SM. #
11:42 Had to buy Frosty at Wendy's so I could charge my mobile. #
18:04 Having a hard time finding my grandparents grave here in Loyola. #
