My (Offline) Friends Got Blogs

Image
I still remember the me that I used to be. Wanting and longing to write. Excited to share my stories online. I have been writing entries in my private journal and in my password-protected Microsoft Word Diary. Too bad I haven't had a back up. I wanted to write and write I did. But, I felt alone. Nobody reads me. I had a live journal, but I am afraid to reveal my true identity. Now, that I am older, I realized that being read is not bad at all. It's one medium of communication that is sincere and heartfelt. So, now, I'm out in the open. I publish. And I'm being read by you, lovely friends. :) And it makes me happy. And you know, what? I have been advertising my personal blogs to close friends. I still don't post links to my personal blog in facebook. Hah. My thoughts are private, but if you know how to find me in here, then I guess it's no longer private. I'm surprised that co-workers have been reading some of my personal thoughts and I blush every time th...

A Curly Transition

Image
Last Thursday, I decided to do some major restructuring of my life through well, my physical attributes. Thanks to the boyf for this. It's his gift for no apparent reason. Anyway, I went alone to the mall. Grabbed lunch at Greenwich since I missed the onion rings and the orangey java rice. Don't you know that the colors red and orange increases our appetite? That would explain my savory reactions towards cheese popcorn and strawberries. These things have kept me company while I waited for my order. This is what I love about Greenwich -- the onion rings and the free magazines. A friend, A texted me and though I was planning to go through this day alone, I let him join me. I decided to put aside the semi-rift that I had with him the day before. Well, I didn't like what he said and how he said it, but everyone is titled to their own opinion and I can let that go. But I can, always, remember what they have said. But I don't hold grudges, I just remember. Lol. After...

I just had the one of the loongest weekends and I spent the days: having a perm going to Liliw seeing Laguna de Bay with my aunts reading e-books and books painting my nails blue washing what needs to be washed writing my first ever guest post ;} I have lots to blog about. :D But before doing any of them, I want to tell you that I am doing a 30-Day Long Distance Relationship Challenge in my tumblr, Aizanity .

Online Dating Sites: Guess Who Drives These Services Today

Technology has been a part of my life today. I can't live without the internet, honestly. I will go crazy. I have relied my personal sanity on it. My blogs, they keep me alive. Facebook makes me connected to my friends and my mom. However, there's just one more thing that I haven't relied on it -- my lovelife. If there's a quizzical look on your face right now, then let me erase those creases on your forehead. I am speaking about online dating sites. Teenagers on online dating sites? Unlikely, I guess. They prefer interacting with their peers. Twenty somethings on online dating websites? Sure, for some who can't get a boyfriend or girlfriend. Thirties on online dating websites? Possible, since this is the settling down age. But do you know the group of people who currently drives the online dating scene? Hold on tight. They're the baby boomers. Yes, your grandmom or grandpop search for that spark like you search for your homework in google. I want to be...

Lunch at the Old Spaghetti House

Image
It was during my day off that mom and I went to Mall of Asia. She wasn't able to go visit the place since it was built, so I wanted her to see it. Walking on the cobblestone path, our head turned from right to left for a perfect place for lunch. Well, it was a late lunch since it's already 3PM and I can already sense the dizziness-due-to-hunger in my head. Then, I dragged her to The Old Spaghetti House -- love the vintage feel and the fancy details that I can view through the crystal glass from where we are. The place is just enough. It can only hold no more than twenty tables, but it didn't look crowded because of the mirror placed on the aisle walls.  THE FOOD We were so hungry that picking out from the menu deemed a difficult one. I wanted to have their Trio Treats, but I need rice. So, we just had their rice meals. Mom ordered a Pan Grilled Glazed Chicken with Java Rice, a Kid's Choice and something new from their menu. The chicken was deliciously tender. How did I...

Self-Appreciation Night

Image
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 ...

Brunch With Mom at The French Baker

Image
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...
