Ramblings and Brain farts

Attention: RANTING ahead

, , 0 Comments

Alfred was supposed to take me to the market today. I wanted to look for materials for a project I want to work on, including materials to make my own glass bead magnets. It didn’t happen.Angry 6

One of my former agents who happens to be his drinking buddy rendered his last day at work last night and so they and a bunch of other guys went out for booze after shift. I understand that and all, but he was the one who promised we’d go today. And it isn’t as if he’d have time tomorrow either. He has a family thing to go to since his brother’s leaving to work abroad in a few days. I wouldn’t bet on Monday either.

Rant 3Sometimes even when I feel like ranting about things like this (him not following through on something) I want to kick myself in the butt. After all, I don’t have to let him ruin my plans. I should be capable of going my own way if I really have to. I mean, he doesn’t always have to be around to escort me. There are also several other people I can ask to go with on outings like what I had intended earlier.

But, he’s the only one I feel comfortable with for what I had planned out for today. I’m out on a specific mission and I would need his input.

Still. It’s not as if I couldn’t do it on my own.

I hate that I’m not really as independent as I believe myself to me. It’s like I’m all talk, but when it comes right down to it, I can’t do it. I can’t do anything.

That’s it. Whether anyone’s going with me or not, I will go out tomorrow.

Okay, I won’t exactly be going to Divisoria or Binondo on my own, but I will go somewhere else that I can navigate on my own.

On stage

Lea Salonga’s My Life On Stage concert at the PICC was aired on TV tonight and I actually enjoyed watching it.

Two or three weeks ago, they showed the making of Cinderella and I told Alfred that I wanted to go see it at the CCP. I checked out her website and found that the premiere show is in July the 29th and there are still seats available! After seeing her concert tonight, I really do want to go see Cinderella.

I will have to ask a friend though, who may be more familiar with the CCP main theater, on what the best cheap seat would be. I don’t want to be at Balcony II and end up not seeing Lea’s facial expression. Haha.

I don’t think Alfred would want to join me there, I hope he would be interested though. Maybe I’d ask my mom and dad but I don’t really want to spend for all three of us. If I sponsor 50% of their tickets, maybe they’d agree. Hmm…

Have I mentioned before in the blog that I used to do theater? Well watching Lea reminds me of how I loved performing. I know I was good too. Haha – you’ve got to give it to me, I’m very confident. Haha. I wonder if it isn’t too late to go back? I think PETA has adult classes… Nah, I wouldn’t really.

If Juday can have a slim figure…

Judy Ann Santos graces the June cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine in the Philippines. Now, I haven’t purchased Cosmo in a long time, in fact, I didn’t purchase glossy mags for awhile until last month when I got the Metro issue with Kris Aquino in the cover. On the same night, I also picked up my first copy of Yummy magazine (I bought one again today too).

Anyway, I admit, it was Juday that made me buy this month’s issue. I’m probably not a true-blue Judy Ann fanatic but I must admit that I find myself liking her more and more as the years go by.

I used to watch her in Ula. On my first summer camp, we were in Tagaytay and we would call out to Ula, ang Batang Gubat while looking out to the lush greens in the mountains. I remember feeling grossed out by her lice shampoo commercial. Hehe. And then, the afternoon soap opera that truly truly made things happen for her – Mara Clara. How old was I then? I don’t remember anymore.

I didn’t watch any of her movies though, not even when they were showed on TV a year after the big screen release. I didn’t particularly like her or her movies before.

The first teleserye I really watched her in was Krystala. At first it was mostly because it was the first new superhero in town that started all the super hero fantaserye we’ve had since. She had started to slim down by then. Then came her serye with Piolo – now what was the title of that series? The one where their last names are all last names of the Boy Scouts who died in the plane crash (street names in Barangay Laging Handa too). Waaah.

Whatever the title was, I watched that teleserye. I fell in love with Piolo there too. And now, boyfriend and I both love singing one of it’s theme songs. This one:

Hay.

I think they had another teleserye before that one (pre-Krystala) but as I said, I was not an avid fan before. I also did not watch her teleseryes with Robin Padilla as her partner. I’m not sure why.

I also watched every episode that I could of her latest soap Ysabella.

Alfred loves watching Tagalog movies over at Cinema One. We always wish for either Aga or Juday flicks. We always enjoy watching those.

So why the sudden fascination with Juday? Is it because I really see the difference in her acting now? Yeah I do, but that’s not it.

Is it because she’s Ryan Agoncillo’s girlfriend/fiance? Uh, so what?

I think, that it’s because if Juday can lose significant weight and have a very toned and flawless body – then there’s hope for me.

Wahaha.

Oops. Pardon the music stream that automatically plays. Just turn it off. I gotta find the code so that it would only Play when the button is clicked.

Tracy and Peter. Tracy and Peter :)

The past two evenings, I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Tracy (aka lovingsue) through Messenger (she through Yahoo, me through Windows Live). I have never met Tracy in real life, though she lives in the next City (which isn’t that far, since this is Metro Manila).

Had we met each other in different circumstances, we probably wouldn’t end up as friends. We don’t have much in common, though it may not be wise to assume this since I don’t know everything about her yet. 🙂 But since we stumbled upon each other in this fun and warm community of digital scrapbooking, we are growing to become just that – friends.

It is wonderful to feel like I knew somebody, in this big wide world of digital scrapbooking. I mean, to really find an enthusiast close to home – that was awesome. And then to connect with her and strike a friendship – doubly awesome.

Only time will tell whether we will continue on with this friendship. 🙂

Tracy is married to Peter. I mention this because I know another couple with the same names. The thing is, while I know that this Tracy and her hubby are happily married, I know nothing about the other Tracy and Peter that I once knew (except where she works). I have no idea if they are still together or if they ever got married, or what they’re doing now.

I used to know them through the NGO we worked with – ECPAT-Philippines. And they introduced me (and my brother) to the world of Rand Al’Thor and Robert Jordan, and Kahlan and Richard of the Sword of Truth. I’d like to think that apart from the working relationship I had with them in the past (shucks, working relationship? I was a teenager then!), that there was friendship too. I guess I wasn’t much of a friend though, in hindsight. We didn’t part in the best of circumstances. And that’s just sad.

Anyway… It’s a Saturday, I’ve got truffles to dip in chocolate and then I’ve got to head to work in a few hours too. So, tata! 🙂

What an awesome kick-off for a long weekend!

A colleague from work, Kiss, wrote a very flattering review for the choco truffles I’ve been making. I love getting comments about what I make, because it affirms it for me. You know what I mean? I make them not so much because I want to make money out of them, but because I truly enjoy doing so. Knowing that they are appreciated is really the icing on the cake. 🙂

I’m already thinking of variations to the Oreo Truffles. I will be trying some things out during my long weekend, which officially started at 4AM.

Yes, I have a long weekend – 4 days – ahead of me. I usually have Sundays and Mondays off work but I volunteered to go to work this Monday since one of my colleagues was on vacation (and she still isn’t back). To compensate, I’m off for Saturday. Then my regular off is here – Sun-Mon, and then I availed of a one day vacation for Tuesday so we can also attend a book launch.

The downside is that I have all this time, but I’m not going anywhere. I really was looking forward to finally going to Bolinao with friends. We’ve been planning a vacation for the longest time but it hasn’t materialized yet. This time last year, we were in Sagada exploring the cave and going up and down mountains just to see the waterfalls (I wanted to provide a link to my Live Space album but the site is down). Anyway, the vacation may still become a reality, as long as everyone’s still interested. There’s still some sun left.

I have not been blogging much lately, and that includes blog-hopping. Part of it is because my PC is sick. Sick, I tell you. Just today, it took me almost an hour just to wait for it to boot up properly. I had to turn it on and off countless times.

Boyf has a pretty good idea what’s causing it but we’ve been delaying dealing with it because I didn’t want to spend for the computer again when I haven’t even paid for the monitor in full. Since I received my leave conversions though, we’re thinking of using some of that money for this. I was hoping it would be for our vacation though (specially since our birthdays are coming up fast).

Hmm.. Blogger now has a blogroll feature and I am going to give that a try in a bit. My blog list and blogroll are both getting longer and longer I’m not sure I want to keep both on the sidebar looking that way. I do like seeing the blinkies though. Oh well.

My dad just woke up and apparently, we’re going swimming today! My mom’s office has an annual summer outing and they get to take their families. This year it happens today. They didn’t tell me beforehand probably because I’m supposed to be working Saturdays.

This means I won’t be getting any significant sleep this morning, I don’t really mind though! My nephew – if you know me or have been reading up on my blogs, you would be able to guess which one – Esban is of course tagging along.

Okay, I gotta stop and get some blog-hopping done before I take a shower or a quick nap.
