I haven't got much so say really. So I thought I'd get some pics from my flickr to here. Lately I've been sending out pics directly from my phone to flickr, as well as other sites, which is super fun. 'Sun is going away' is one that I sent from phone days ago when I was at the beach.
If you're on flickr... feel free to add me as a contact.
That is all the news I have for now.
Oh and Happy New Year, Everyone :))
today at work i officially started on the lines and traded. woohoo! i didn't have anything dealt though...hopefully tomorrow a kind trader will give me a deal (keeping my fingers crossed!)...market has been pretty quiet today...but the combined deals almost reached one billion pesos! not bad for a team which just started!
i'm taking off from the previous blog which i wrote last sunday...i did have a great long weekend! at first i thought my saturday till monday night will be devoted to facebook and guilty pleasure websites...happy to be wrong! i heard mass on sunday with mami and we ate at java man in powerbooks...i txted nick and ede that night to thank them for the conversation last saturday...because i really felt blessed that they were there for me that time. :-) enchanted kingdom, sadly, didn't push through yesterday because they weren't open for the holiday (and i don't know why). so there were 10 people who met up in rockwell who didn't have any concrete plans for the day...it was really exciting haha! holiday hangout attendance: elaine f.ede.nick.elaine l.ponzi.pao.matt.saj.bing.heather. the enchanted kingdom plan, which was pulled back to tagaytay, was pulled back to...MALL OF ASIA!!! hahahahaha! what a trip! good thing we didn't end up in the garden of nick's place.:p moa was loads of fun though...we were a very, VERY happy bunch! *wink wink* we visited the science center and played in timezone...finally had a nice dinner at razon's...went back to nick's place and played skate.:-)
...i still choose (or maybe force myself??) to see the goodness in people...no matter how cruel or insensitive or mean or inconsiderate or put your own negative word here they are. or they are just THEM. why?? oh well...i wouldn't ask why anymore...because WWJD! and this whole positive thinking thing has been really working for me...and it WILL continue to work for me! i'm on the fast lane to living my "three-fold utopian dream" (thank you incubus!): a great love. great family and friends. great job. i believe that when people tell me they would do something, THEY WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. (HE WILL FOLLOW THROUGH.) i believe that only the best things will happen to me and that people who treat me with love and respect are the only ones who will stay in my wonderful, wonderful life. life is just great and living everyday is a miracle in itself! thank You, thank You, thank You.
anyway, i just missed writing a lot...helps me stay positive! i wish leah would blog already!!! i can't wait to read her stuff! time for a hefty.........wait. team greenhills txted just now to say that he is back from hongkong. haha! how sweet he even txted yesterday asking me for my shirt size...like i would be anything bigger than a small.:p oh well...let's see what happens...time for a hefty dinner!
mood: optimistic...with an inner smile. (i know that's not a mood but whatever!)
*stretch stretch........*
it's a cool sunday morning...6 hours of sleep after last night's hangout at route196 for ephesus' promo cd launch! it was funnn! i missed route196! good thing i was able to fight the urge to sleep on the comfy couch...my tummy was still churning beer from friday night's successful beerfest! friday night good...saturday night good...tonight will be as well...and tomorrow, hopefully, enchanted kingdom pushes through. my long weekend would be great after all! :-)
and so i return to vox...the original home of elaine's raving, ranting and venting. man i sound like i'm selling pancit! on second thought...i actually like the idea...my thoughts right now can be compared to pancit with lots of ingredients in it. there's just too much on my mind that i have to let out at least a few. but here i am taking forever to type decent sentences...i think i'm not used to blogging anymore...i have to get back to the habit. it used to be VERY therapeutic hehe.
yesterday i watched twilight with ina...after my supposed "twilight date" made it clear that he didn't want to watch a chick flick. so i watched with a chick then! and it was good! not the best movie...but tolerable. haha. after that, i called him because i missed his call during the movie...only to find out that he can't make it to makati for the night. so much for my plans...but what bothered me more was that i knew i sounded disappointed when i said "okay" to what he said. aaarrrrggghhh! i seriously, SERIOUSLY wanted to slap myself! but ina already did that for me...not literally...but she knocked some sense into my head. and that was better/worse than a physical slap. better because i know it's coming from a good place and she only wants the best for me...worse because as much as it sucks, i feel it's true. this whole "hanging out"...i am SO not used to it! this is NOT how i know hangouts. hangouts don't leave you with a flashing big red question mark hovering above your head!!!
after the movie we headed to rockwell to get drinks...not part of the plans haha! but it was a great move...nick and ede met up with us...and they gave me advice on how to deal with the situation. but now i have two sides to choose from...one says ask and make things clear...the other says don't ask and just go with the flow. and they are people whose opinions count! so what to do...what to do...? i guess i just have to wait for that moment...my instincts would tell me. i like hanging out with him. but the question mark that blinks after follows me to work and continues to blink even as i stare on the white board where i am only supposed to find prices to quote for trading. bid...offer...question mark!!! shiyet! haha! i'm not used to it!!! meanwhile...things get even more confusing as team greenhills looks like it has decided to step up it's game...in a way. but it's too soon to tell. damn! i should be single and loving it! but now i'm single and going crazy!
despite all these, i've got so much to be thankful for. i won 10k at the aci christmas party raffle! lucky, lucky me! i'm glad i had i nice friday and saturday...that i got to talk to my friends and i have this great group of friends. as discussed last night over cocktails and beer, after all the drama, at the end of the day we're still friends. we have different and shared passions and it's just amazing how we still mesh well as a group. beerfest proved that. if we could only have beerfests every month! hahaha! i miss my friends a lot. especially veds! i hope that things will be okay...and will continue to be okay. thank you, thank you, thank you.
with that said, i shall now eat breakfast and get ready to be a mallrat for the day! today and the rest of the week will be great. :-)
night-time intermission
personal inquisition
nocturnal emission
just talking to myself
I named the photo after this song, because it was taken on a night time intermission. I was having a very busy night with a number of people, when I had to take an intermission... to talk to myself. I went up to the roof of my house and gazed around the lights of my neighborhood.
As I was downloading the photos from the camera, I was listening to Charlotte Gainsbourg's album 5-55. I was about to give the photo a name, and because I suck with titles my initial thought was to call it 5-55... after the song I was listening to at the time. It didn't make much sense, but I liked it anyway. Then, I noticed the name of this song... and it was just perfect!
Finally got a chance to take some new photos. Saturday afternoon, on my way to my aunt's house... I snapped pics while in car.. tourist style.I got few others but they still need some cleaning up, so this is it for now :)
So freakin' amazing. I wish I had taken something like this myself!
Time for my -what seems to be annual- update.
I logged in to Vox last night after quite sometime of not checking in only to find out some lovely news: Leila got married and Mr. Scocceraholic turned 23 and wants to get married, haha. You guys rock, and I wish you all the best :)
Days ago I was going through my archive looking for a certain post, and I noticed how good of a blogger I was. It was really fun.. till I became a super lazy blogger who only blogs once a month. I think I need to get back to daily blogging, for my own sanity, a lot of negativity .. and good times to, need to be shared or dumped somewhere. I thought I had that covered with the microblogging platforms I'm using like Twitter and Plurk, but that 140 character limit is.. well.. limiting! I also have my other shopping blog that I'm running. That thing requires a lot of time and effort! But I'm totally enjoying the process.
So, long story short, I'm gonna try not to neglect this blog... even though I don't really update, I am strongly attached to it, so I'll try to pay more attention to it :)
I love whoever made this. So cute and humorous at the same time!
