A friend commented (in person) on the lack of new photos uploaded to my blog. I wanted to say it’s because I haven’t found the push to post the ones I’ve taken recently. But to be truthful, it’s more because I haven’t really been taking much photos lately.
And that’s sad.
It wouldn’t be a sad fact if the reason for the lack of photos was that I’ve been baking during my free time. But that’s not true either.
Super sad.
So what have I been doing? Nothing really.
And I hate that.
I should schedule the things I’d like to try; devote time to take photos and learn more about photography. I should. Check back next week if I’ve done that already.
I should draw a list of stuff I want to bake and then run up a schedule to actually make them. This one I really want to do. Next week, check on my progress. Please.
Hay, shoulds. But these ones are the type I want to do. So I’m not complaining.
Oh, but I did snap photos of something today:
There’s a Pick & Mix kiosk near the building entrance and I pass by it everyday. Today, I gave in to the pull of these sweeties (though there were plenty more I wanted to get). You know what they are? Inside those colorful candy-coating (some of them are pink!) are chocolate-coated sunflower seeds. These are tiny! And yummy!
When I first heard of Facebook, I had no interest in signing up. Now, the day is incomplete without a dose of FB.
You know Friendster? Check out my page there – http://friendster.com/verabear. You won’t see much there though. I seldom update and I rarely log on. Because of my non presence in Friendster, I distanced myself from social networking sites like it. I figured it just wasn’t my thing. There was Hi5, and MySpace, but I ignored both.
Then a few months ago, I finally signed up for Facebook, and life has never been the same. Haha!
I love how easy it is to see updates from friends and family, and how easy uploading photos could be. But the best thing? The applications.
Restaurant City!
And now – Guitar Geek!
I don’t care much for Mafia Wars, but so many of my FB friends are hooked.
I got hooked on Restaurant City probably a week ago. It’s just cute, and fun. It’s tough deciding what to spend hard earned RC money for. Should I get porcelain tile or glass ones? Do I fix the outside, or spend all my money for indoor improvements? What makes them cook faster?

The wedding of my cousin that I referred to in this post, will be happening tomorrow, Sunday. They have a house next door, a low wall separates our house from theirs. Normally, there is no one in that house. My aunt and uncle have chosen to spend their retirement in the clan’s hometown of Bangaan in Sagada, Mt. Province. They have a lovely home there. Their eldest son lives with his family in another part of the Metro, while their three other children (including the youngest who is getting married) have migrated to the US.
This morning, I woke up to the sounds of children playing, and then later on, of pig being slaughtered. Those are always sure signs that something festive is happening within the day, or the next.
I thought of checking them out and taking photos, but decided against it. Laziness.
It did prompt me to checkout some wedding cakes again, though I must admit that has nothing to do with the occasion. 🙂
And guess what I found? This:
They are beautiful aren’t they? The image is linked to the baker’s blog so go ahead and check her out. I’d love for my bouquet to be in this palette. And I’d love for my wedding cake to be something like this. I love the look of fondant, but I don’t know about the taste. Real icing is the one for me, I think. 🙂 There are so many other beautiful cakes on display on her site.
Tomorrow, I shall bake something. Nothing motivates me like looking at beautifully baked goods. I don’t know what to make yet, but I will. I have truffles waiting to be chocolated (is there such a word?) in the fridge, I can do those later or tomorrow morning.
On Thursday morning after work, Alfred went with me to Humana, the Medicard clinic that takes care of the company’s annual physical exams. Right next door to it was a motorcycle shop. I wanted to peek in because my brother and my dad have been pointing out how practical it would be for me to get one to shuttle me back and forth to the office. Now the only reason really to get one is so I don’t have to wait for a cab to bring me to work every night. It’ll be so much faster to get to work. I can also use it to go to St. Luke’s, or to the grocery for a few items for baking or for making truffles.
On the other hand, there are many reasons not to get one. What if it rains I have it parked outside the office building? Oh okay, I guess that’s what motorcycle covers are for. But it I also can’t ride when it’s raining, can I? Or when it’s too hot? Haha. Kaartehan, I guess. I am considering it though, because it is way cheaper to get a bike than a car. Oh well.
We didn’t go in that Honda bike store though – Alfred breezed right past it ignoring my request. He was already hungry I guess.
It is the start of a new month – my birthday month! But before we completely bid June adieu, I’d love to thank my top ten Entrecard droppers for the past 30 days:
I just want to say to you all that I may not be on your top droppers list, but I do enjoy visiting your blogs and hope that you do like what you see here too.
Looking forward to receiving comments from you all as well! 🙂
