A solid thank you

You never really know where or from whom the best advice will come from. I went home to my LP room last night feeling much better considering how the day started and it still amazes me that I got the right advice from a manicurist.

While I was bawling my eyes out in the middle of a much deserved and needed pedicure, she simply said:

It will all be okay, miss. You just have to surround yourself with your people.

Yes sosyal siya. English ang advice niya. Hahahaha.

The past six weeks has been tumultuous, to say the least. My mistake was to not tell anyone that it has been. I am not used to being the one with the problems. I can actually count the number of people I confide in with one hand. Actually, that will just take up three fingers.

Imagine my surprise that when I came running to them for comfort, they didn’t ask any questions. It was automatic for them to cheer me up and turn my day around. They really are the best group of friends a girl can ask for.

So thank you. I know I don’t talk often; I’m usually the go-to person for advice, so my pride gets in the way of me asking for help. But thank you for not hesitating to lend a hand.

On top of everything else, thank you for helping me put myself back together. One day at a time.

I found a pretty teapot

So yesterday, Marga and I were talking about Machiko Skye’s upcoming second birthday party. She said, to be cute and girly about it, we should just host a tea party! And I couldn’t agree with her more.

While walking around S&R, we were already taking mental notes which baked goods we’re planning to serve on that fateful day. It actually got me soooo excited that I took out our trusty teapot!

Honestly, in all our years living in the south, I do not ever recall ever ever ever EVER taking out this pretty little thing for some tea. It wasn’t until my father’s heart problems during the past couple of years did we start to explore the benefits of tea.

Isn’t she so pretty. I bet Marga will go nuts about this teapot once she sees this. And because I was in the mood, I cleaned up this lady and started brewing tea.

Yes, I convinced everyone to have tea today. Hahahaha. But it was a hot afternoon, so I took that into consideration as well.

And then when the tea was done, I poured them perfectly!

WHAT?! How did that happen!?

Hahahahaha. A good friend gave me his milk tea recipe in exchange for silence so this is me not talking about it. I think this would match that tea party, don’t you?

Pretty little teapot. :)

P.S.: We were all too lazy to retrieve the camera from the car so I took these photos using the phone. Excuse the grain! :)

Rebel Wilson is Love

I don’t know if you can recall this lady from Bridesmaids but I am more than happy to remind you of her:

I just find her so funny! She guested on Ellen and Ellen can barely contain her laughter. That is just genuine comedy for me!

She also did a couple more movies after Bridesmaids, but what I am actually excited about is Pitch Perfect.

Here she plays Fat Amy. Clickity click to know more about her character!

I just find her soooo amazingly funny. She’s Australian by the way. And she came from the Bush. HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, if you haven’t seem her guesting on Jimmy Kimmel or Ellen, you should really be heading to YouTube right now. :)

I have a feeling this movie is this generation’s Sister Act. When I first saw it, I immediately thought, please do not be the kind of disaster that is Glee, but then, I saw the riff off, and I was just blown.

Anna Kendrick has good pipes.

I wonder when is this showing in the Philippines. So far, from what I’ve seen over the Web, this is just on limited release in North America. I’m hoping it lands on Asian shore. I haven’t seen a good musical comedy lately, and Rebel Wilson is just the pill I need. :)

There is no point fighting the curiosity! Check them out now! :)

I don’t know what happened on this day but really, whatever it is, I feel like this again.

Melodramatic me is not fun.

Work-related eCards

I am a big fan of sarcasm, especially those stemming from a good episode of FRIENDS.

Okay so that wasn’t sarcasm, but it was still funny! This is sarcasm.

ANNNYYYWAYYYY..

I had a really long morning because my fever was running a little too high. After getting my medication at the hospital, I decided to look for ecards to make me happy. Since I feel crappy and all.

And yes, they are all work-related. HAHAHAHA.
