L♥ve is a Mutt

If I'll hand you a piece of plain, white shirt, what words will you want it to contain? Mine? Big eyes . You must think I am weird again, but let me tell you what inspired me to do this post. I have just finished watching Glee Season 2 on etc. Yes, we have etc! And yes, we do have a telly already! Side Story.  Mom had it on a cargo trip, alongside with her flight. Smooth transaction and she had the TV stand packed with the tv. Moms are just incredible. So, where were we? On tonight's Glee epi. The epi focused on the weakness slash dark, hidden secrets of each and every character. Quinn used to be a fat kid. She was so fat that finding a lab partner proved to be a difficult task. But, now, when you look at her, she is this sexy blonde with the beautiful eyes and great nose. She was called Lucy Caboosey back then. When she started to do ballet and had a nose job, everything changed. Just like Nam in Crazy Little Thing Called Love, huh? I don't want to delve into ...

I wanted a gourmet meal for my mother, who has visited me here in my work town. She is to go back tomorrow to our hometown. We were just on the mall and fastfood was stricken out of my mental list. The French Baker seemed to be the perfect place for me and her during a gloomy afternoon -- cozy and a little but homey. We checked out the bread section first and I am already salivating. Croissants are my favorite, but I continued to the end of the counter, to where the cooks were busy preparing each dish, making them delectably irresistible for anyone whose eyes caught a glimpse of it.  Upon seeing what the chef placed on the top of the to-be-served-orders-area, I hurriedly walked towards a menu sitting on top of the marbled table and grab it. Picking out what to eat was pretty hard -- all were mouthwatering. THE FOOD Mom had a Soup Starter . Basically, the Soup Starter is the Soup of the Day with lavash bread crackers and  It was creamy and savory, a great way to star...

Hi, there. This is my 5th blog. I wanted to challenge myself since I know I will have plenty of time for the next couple of months for myself. Gael Greene is my personal inspiration. Her book, Insatiable Critic, Living a Life of Delicious Excess is the epitome of my ideal books. I love her life. I love the way she writes. I love what she loves, so Gastronomicca came alive. While dining out yesterday with a couple of important people in my current life, this word just popped out of my mind and I made this blog as soon as I entered my haven, my room. Welcome to Gastronomicca and let's share the splendid food experience that we had and ought to have.

Hi there. I am so busy right now. My mom's here. And I feel guilty because I still have to work. Wrong estimation of my project timeline. Tsk. via Anyway, I have tons to blog next week. Mom's and my little getaways, food trips and shmoozes. And I am feeling heavy with my work, some officemates   and lovelife. The latter, I wouldn't talk of after this post. And it's official. Nothing serious, but I sorta feel like this .  I'd love to blab because I have lots to blab, but how can I with my mom's voice in the room. Can't. Seriously. Can't write if someone's with me. And we need to catch up.  So, that's all for now. I just felt the need to detoxify through writing. And thanks for listening. I mean it. My blogs mean a lot to me. :} And the picture? No connection. Just an upper for me. Nite! And oh, I'll visit your blogs soon. 

My age already has plussed one a couple of months ago, but I still want to do another birthday wishlist for this meme: And besides, I have started a Dream Thing Entry last night, but I haven't finished my entire list. So here it goes. Official Moving out of my mom and dogs. I want them to come live here with me. It would entail a fat check and empty cards, but I'm willing to do it. :) One of my reasons for finding cash online. Samsung Galaxy Ace. As I've mentioned in my previous post. Sony Nex-3 or Nex-5. Because I want crisp pictures. A credit card. Somebody called me and asked for personal details through my office phone number. And I gave it all away without thinking. I was just thrilled to hear the words, credit card application. Hmm. But after the call, I was kind of worried about the whole thing. She was an entire stranger and I just gave away personal details! How clueless and trusting of me. Do you guys heard of Timesasia? If you have, please sh...

I've been a worker for a year now, but the only thing that I have bought is my chic white camera, GE x5. It's cheaper than most cameras, but it looks super cool that many thinks it sells for more than Php20,000. It's what I'm holding. It is a bridge camera, functions like a digital camera, but looks like a mini-DSLR. Now, I'm cc-less because I still have "responsibilities". Anyway, I'm allowing the material girl in me to come out tonight. Let me count the gadgets that I want to buy. :} Decent Phone. {Samsung Galaxy Ace} I'm not really particular about the specs, but all I want is a cellphone that is/can: sleek-looking. slim. white. (i love white gadgets.) wide screen. can play some  music. take quality pictures. I'd like to blog them. Sometimes, it's bulky to take out my GE x5. business-ready. So, I can type my thoughts whenever inspiration hit me -- anytime, anywhere. threaded view of SMS WiFi ready. I'd like ...

It's been hours (or a day) since the boyf messaged me. So, I was like: So, I surfed. Checked my blog stats. Checked my online earnings. (to my dismay) Logged into my fb. Changed my status into: If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. -Lord Byron Somebody commented on it. And.. it was the boyf! Don't bother reading it. You wouldn't understand it -- It's a mix of English and Ilonggo (our native language). Yeah, it was short (and not sweet), but Not too much though. A little contained smile was what I managed. :} And this got me into thinking, Pft, corny? I know.  Unbelievable? To some. Am I only convincing myself? Nah. Discouraged? By many. But am I? Not. It's just that (scratch the word, Remember to make the grammar correct. And oh, omit the "that" in the picture.) If one day, all these wouldn't have a desirable conclusion, then I'll let things be. It'll ju...

I'm thinning out! I can feel less fat in my stomach. My pants have put a stop in pushing my stomach and hip fat in. And now, I am sitting comfortably in my denim cut off shorts. Amazing. And I thought fats wouldn't leave my body anymore. Today was unexpected. It's my day off and as soon as my just-awaken system digested the news, I was up. Ima hit the mall, I thought to myself. And watch HP! Yay. But I got hooked on some online things and I have to go get my washed clothes so I was kind of late for the HP movie. The next time slots were kind of late already and Transformers only had a morning schedule. Bummer. The two other movies were local: Temptation Island and some Adventure starring Melai. My forehead creased and my mouth moved to the side. I got disappointed a week ago since I haven't seen Monte Carlo. I want to watch a movie was the line that echoed inside my brain while my feet took me away from the cinema mall section. Temptation Island. Irk. I can...

Rocky roads, I swear, will never bring me down. I'll think of them as ice cream sundaes instead. Quick recap of my day(s): I just received a notification in my inbox that Blogging for Books (a site which gives out free books, yes, e-books only) is now accepting bloggers outside of US. Yay! I left my email with them so they can notify me when this miracle will happen. And now is that brilliant day. I am receiving free ebooks . And I am once again adding review to my Barnes and Noble account . Woho! :) Adobe Digital Edition is a sweet creation. It allows you to download and read in elegant style the e-book that you were given. These permissions are granted so you can't read a copy on an Adobe 8. It looks great and I have seen a thumbnail of a chick flick on the bottom. Free download? Yay! Next time. Now, I still have two books up for review. One for BookSneeze, one for Blogging for Books. Good luck to me. They're both inspirational and they suit my present days. A ...

The bottom module stirs under the educational group.

I was happy last night since I was able to solve some work problem. But just tonight, another problem came up. My work life is a complete mess that I want to leave it all behind, lie on my airbed and sleep till noon the next day. However, I cannot do that. I need to pay some bills. and I have a work reputation to keep. But it's getting heavier to get up in the mornings, knowing that I have to face work in a few hours. Is this some sign for me to quit my job? I'm just... exhausted. drained. sad. controlled. restricted.  Anyways, I keep find  helplessly grab things that could make me happy. Like this Snickers Peanut Butter Square, which I did not eat an hour ago when my housemate gave it to me. I wanted to take a picture of it for you to see. (pick ups phone. positions Snickers on the mouse pad. Click. There you go. Connect Bluetooth with laptop. Error. Oops. Nevermind. My other laptop is a an aged turtle.) And after attempting to send the picture from...

And it's nighttime. And it pours a little outside. Still, I am glowing. I'm seeing an end point on my project after worrying about it for about a month now . See, earlier I acted like Little Miss Bitter and I was ranting on the boyfriend. Told him I would quit my job real soon. Just because I can't get something right. But then, encouragements slash positive work pressure from somebody pushed me and had kicked my lazy butt and I forced my brain to work. I destroyed, well, some work stuff, supposedly doing something. I was like a hopeless robot in a trance. Until I forced my brain to work. And I did a little something,which told me to check on something that might cause the epic fail and I did. And then, like a thunderbolt, it hit me. So, I changed what I had to and viola, everything's working. Smoothly. Yay! And me so proud. And happy and encouraged and determined. Determined to get this over with so I can have my life back. Weee! I am hoping for my lovely ...

And I should decide soon. About what to do with my life. And, oh, I want to do something far from a pimple-inducing job. My rant in prose is here . Help.

I haven't written for like a week already. I have been busy with my project that I hardly had a day off. Bad. And the zits are coming. Eeeh. I hate graveyard shifts. Add along the stress that hits you when the deadline comes near. I thank myself for buying Eskinol Overnight Pimple Gel. I want to acknowledge the people behind this miracle gel. Saved my face. Anyway, this day was a pretty, lovely one. It's as though the sun was shining and a dove, a vivid green laurel on its beak. Yes, there was hope for me. What I thought was impossible was possible through other means. I thought it was the end of my engineering career. But, clearly it wasn't and I have to thank my boss for it. via I would never trade teams. I like like like my boss. There's something about him. He's like Santino, only he's bigger and older. His gaze will make you want to scream at yourself for being such an electronics wimp. He's like Jasper in Twilight, the one who can bring peac...
