One Roxas Triangle

December 23, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I’ve always been so intrigued by this building. According to Wikipedia, it is the 15th tallest building in the Philippines. Each time I see it at night, it stands there with its classic elegance, quietly boasting, never humble, as if rubbing in my face what I’ve been missing all this time.

And I often wonder what it’s like to live in a place as posh and luxurious as this one. Maybe I’m just blowing it all off in massive disproportion in my head, maybe it’s not as good as I think it is. But still it would be nice to find out for myself.

Oh and did I mention that One Roxas Triangle is right across my workplace? I’d love to wake up at 7 in the morning, only to find out that even if I move at a snail’s pace, I’d still be early for work.

Ah, to dream big.

Aren’t we all?

Aren’t we all a little crazy on the inside? Random musings, it’s late and still in the office. I wonder if this will be the ending trend of 2011 or the beginning of 2012.

Secrets: The Blog That Changed My Life

December 18, 2011 / iamsupercarla / 4 Comments

Exaggerated? Not really. I mean it when I say PostSecret saved my life.

PostSecret was founded in 2005 by Frank Warren. He encouraged everyone to send a postcard — stylized, of course — and reveal a secret that you have never ever ever ever spoken of before. He uploads these postcards in his website, and soon enough, it has created an anonymous community of acceptance.

A few years after its launching, PostSecret teamed up with 1-800-suicide to help out the anonymous cries for help he usually receives in the mail.

I love this site. I completely, absolutely, love everything about this site. I also downloaded the app, and although there are quite a few non-secrets revealed there, I still love it.

This site made me feel that I am never alone in whatever I am going through. More than a couple of times, I have been able to relate to some of the secrets revealed there. The sharing is therapeutic; it’s almost like a breath of fresh air, just letting it out. I love this site for the fresh air.

Head over there and I guarantee, if you just let yourself feel and open up for a while, you’ll feel exactly like this.

What about you? What blog changed your life?

Pompom Crazy!

December 6, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

It bothered me so much that we still didn’t have Christmas decor in the office and it’s almost Christmas! Although we don’t really celebrate it, I find relief in preparing the tiny things for it. Work can be pretty stressful sometimes (especially when there are too many unnecessary papers around), so I hauled James and AB to make some Christmas stuff.

I assigned myself to making pompoms! I got such a kick during Chuchi’s birthday, so I decided we should have a hanging Christmas tree made out of pompoms! And I managed to make them so big, it’s fantastic!!!

It will most like look something like this, only hanging.

I have a feeling it looks better hanging. Hahahahaha. Maybe I should make four more for the base? Just so it actually looks like a flower tree and not just a triangle of pompoms. Either way, I think they look festive already!

More to come tomorrow. :)
