i turned 37 yesterday. for those whom i haven't seen for ages, they will be more shocked by my size than my age. i don't think i look 37. despite turning 40 when i was a mere 14 years old, thank God for (good) genes, i don't look 37 because i am so plain jane with nary any make-up. i am such a good catch therefore because i am so far from being capriciosa and vain. *ha!*
seriously, it took me almost half of my day earlier taking everyone in FB by sending them personal TY notes and keeping in touch. in hindsight, i could really run for public office and win it hands down. my network has grown positively --- from school, from work, from SSEAYP and some cracks here and there. i am just simply thankful for being blessed with all sorts of people in my life that i do not need strangers to make my life enriched and my experience wholistic indeed.
i would have wanted this post to be A Package of Joy (Delivery XXX) but it would be so much better that it is a post-birthday entry.
i didn't have any celebration at all but we did have a poker party at home (after wiping out pizza, mojos and chicken from shakey's) and in between amassing chips and losing them after some rounds, we had doritos, lay's natural potato chips and salsa and amici's mango symphony. the boys are happy, my pamangkins had fun playing poker with us (yup, we can be sued by dswd) and getting those wet kisses from the boys and us adults were dead serious in wanting to win PHP500 gain.
mr p asked me what i wish for my birthday (he asked me at the strike of 12), and i picked 6 --- 3 were material, earthly goods and the 1st 3 were my heart's desires and God knows those for sure! of course, the earthly (would be) possessions could roll over into Christmas --- a nice digicam, ipad2 and shopping money.
i have not really been blogging but i hope to be able to blog more. but i do have a lot of good movies and shows that i got busy with --- Top Chef Masters Season 3, which i liked because i like good food and i want to be a Chef in my next life; The Adjustment Bureau, because it drives a very clear message on choosing our destiny and directing ourselves towards our aspirations; Unknown, because its plot is something new (to me!) and the ending is so unexpected, which i so like (i am beginning to dislike formula movies and shows, sappy, trying-hard to be romantic when the actors don't have any (cinematic) chemistry at all!); Insidious, because it is so scary that i end up screaming my heart out (and praying harder at night) because it does give me huge balls of goosebumps just thinking about it.
i have been to Bonchon twice this week, and its chicken is yummy! i like it that it has a crunch on the outside and moist and malasa inside. their branch in Libis is bigger and had Caesar Salad when i ate there with my officemate (whom i treated in advance for my bday).
i am so excited for Harry Potter 7! i plan to watch it in that cinema in Resorts World but if i can't then any 3d cinema that is clean and mabango will do, with Tater's popcorn around please. (because kiko wouldn't want to watch with me if it isn't Tater's. those kids have taste in food! i mean, i'd want a Tater's popcorn too!)
i want a staycation in Marriot or in Sofitel with a steak dinner on the side. *dreamy*
funny how the boys seem to be with different personalities just like children. at the end of the day, i'm taught to be more patient and loving. Thank you Lord for Bo Lee and Tom.
i am going to wear braces soon. i do hope my teeth get corrected as expected in 6 months. i might be bullied and teased when i have those longer. (feeling! hahaha!) no, seriously, i am agreeing to braces only because my dentist told me that i HAVE to.
i am writing the final touches of my research little by little, and i realized that that must be the feeling of completing a dissertation --- keeping a deadline and sticking to it.
i took the CESO exam (first part) the other weekend, and thankfully, i didn't have a nosebleed over math. ganun pala yun --- you dread it with such exaggeration and drama, that when it does not meet even half of your expectation for torment, you will feel so relieved that it makes you want to do cartwheels and throw a party for friends!
my love affair with cream cheese, Cyma's roka salata, potato chips and salsa, tuyo during breakfast is so back that i have (for the Nth time) postponed my Forma Plana plan for August.
when i have the chance, i want 100 Days because the script is so conversational that i can actually imagine "me living my life saying those lines". showbiz lang.
done with the A proceedings and now waiting for the penning of the decision. now i have the answer to my friend's question -- i would probably buy C a nice TY present for taking my case and being my friend throughout.
i said no to an invite to be an EA to a cabinet sec/some official from OP because i prefer to go back to PMS. i have this distorted sense of ideals sa totoo lang, and it weirds me out sometimes.
i miss my Dad. i hope he is doing well. sad how lies and betrayal always cause family ties to break.
