Let’s admit it. Nothing perks a workday better than a hot coworker.
Here’s to a fantastic almost end of week workday, everyone! :)
Hello, sweetie. It’s nice to meet you. I didn’t really expect an out-patient run on our first meeting, but hey! I’m not really the choosy type.
You have your Tita Ida’s face when you’re peaceful, and (unfortunately for) Mommy Kimmy, when you’re about to cry. I have photos to prove that. I hope I won’t be murdered by your mother when she sees my point (wink).
But really, I’m happy to meet you. Chuchi now has a playmate in you and you two will be raised by strong women surrounded by strong families that will ultimately keep you grounded. They will forever be with you, to support you, to help you, to knock some God’s good sense in you. You will be raised by families. Not just one. Families.
And I don’t think everyone is fortunate to have that.
But just so we’re clear, just so you know, we are far more fortunate to have you.
See you soon, sweetie. I am eager for your weight gain so we can see your overloaded cheeks and inflated thighs. They make for perfect photos.

It is no secret that I recently took more aggressive steps in losing the unwanted weight gain through Plana Forma. So far, I’ve been having a ball, though I am still thoroughly upset that I wasn’t able to go to the weekend classes. Hopefully, I can make up for it this week. The goal would be four classes at least this week. Now I just have to teach Ted how to get there so he can pick me up after the workout.
I hopped on the scale this morning. I do this every week just to check if there’s any additional items I should be worried about (aka pounds). Much to my surprise, I lost 2 pounds! I don’t know where else to attribute it to because all I did this week was the Plana Forma classes. I didn’t run (much to my dismay) and I am sure as hell I didn’t make any alterations to my eating, so there. Let’s see what my weight will be should I reach my four-class target this week.
Lately, I’ve been so crazy about Pinterest. It’s basically a virtual inspiration board of everything and anything you can think of. The faux artiste in me has been pinning like crazy; I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d be pegged as less than productive this week. But here are some of the cool finds I got from Pinterest. You’ll have to request an invite, but I think I still have some referrals up my sleeve. Should you be interested, just let me know and leave a comment below!
The good thing about Pinterest is the fact that you can customize your inspiration boards. I have cute stuff, food, places to visit and fashion as some of my boards. You can create as many as you want! There are even DIY pins, images of DIY project that come with a link to DIY! Hahahaha. DIY DIY DIY. I guess I’m encouraging you to make 2011 a crafty one. As of the moment, I am going crazy with all these quotes. I mean, who wouldn’t?
Well, without further ado, go crazy for my pins!
I have not updated this blog for a while and I feel quite bad about it. When you come to think of it, there are way too many sites I have not updated, and I finally took the opportunity to update each of them this week.
Chictopia will have to wait. I am yet to whip up a fantastic look for my comeback post. Not that I have that much fans. Hahahaha.
What I managed to revive was my deviantART site. With all the early trips I took this year (Tagaytay for our planning conference and Canyon Cove with the family), I happily clicked away the camera my good Ate Chie lent me. I have to admit I should have taken a refresher course last year; I’ve had this camera for over a year now and I still have not utilized it to its fullest. But then there are these shots that I just fall in love with.
Call it narcissistic because I love my own work, but really, looking at the photos I took in January made me realize in spite of the good thing I have going on at work, I still want to be a photographer.
This year, I promise I will relearn my ropes. Now, I just need Adah to relearn it with me.
Believe me when I say there will be more photos to come. :)
It was almost uneventful if it weren’t for that sudden whim to watch a movie.
Dylan and I caught RED at Greenbelt 3. I wanted to take him to Power Plant Mall, but I didn’t want to push him, so we just went to our comfort zone that is Ayala Malls. :) We’ve been meaning to catch that movie for quite sometime now, and we finally got around to doing it.
RED stars Oscar winning actors in their, well… senior form. Bruce Willis, Frank Moses, plays an ex-CIA agent who is not really adjusting well to his retirement. He constantly flirts with this pension operator Sarah Ross, played by Mary Louise Parker, by tearing up his pension just to talk to her. Then one night, an elite group raided his house in attempts to kill him. I say attempts because in true Die Hard factor, Moses escapes unscathed and goes to Ross to rescue her.
Apparently, that’s how they do it. They kill everyone you’re close to.
Anyway, Moses rounds up his old gang, Joe Boggs (Morgan Freeman), a lunatic laced on LSD for years as part of a government conspiracy aimed at tracking his neurological functions Martin (John Malkovich), the Russian guy who seems to serve fantastic vodka Ivan (Brian Cox) and the foxy Victoria (Helen Mirren).
It was hilarious. Malkovich and his fantastic quips managed to whip new age action stars, scolding them and reminding them that action need not be serious. They can really use a cue if not more from these veteran actors.
Mirren is the sexiest woman on earth, holding a gun like it’s a cellular phone: casual and normal. Nuff said.
Too bad, Red is no longer showing in the theatres. Dylan and I managed to catch the last stretch of it last week, and well, for those who haven’t watched it, there’s always Pirate Bay. :)
