16 - 22/366: Crashed Into An Inferno Of Cupcakes

Rhinitis is EVIL. Been suffering from it for the past three days. Missed a day and a half of work this week because I feel really queasy and weak. A client just sent me a request for buy morgan silver dollars to write about, but it was a good week, I should say. Ending it hanging out with friends made a huge difference.

Here are this week's photos:

Day 22

• 16/366: Name. My weekend of editing paid off. Most of my office mates seemed to like the video presentation that I made for Sir Rene and Sir Dennis' Send Off. The Send Off party was a Children's Party at McDs. My group mates made me write 'Bella' instead of 'Bel' on the party hat. I wasn't feeling well all day. 


• 17/366: Step. Still not feeling well because of a bug that I think I caught over the weekend. I finally ended my self-debate and decided to do what I thought felt right. It was a step I took that made me feel uneasy but at the same time sure. Both of us are mixing the cement and polishing the bricks that we're slowly starting to put between us. He's doing it as fast as he can and I am gradually just getting used to it. But I know in my heart he has a mallet lying around somewhere.


• 18/366: Crash. Third day of not feeling well. There was a point in the day that my energy started crashing and needed a hug. I took three 10-minute naps in between tasks to make it through the day. 


• 19/366: Dust. Decided not to come in at work because my rhinitis had been in its worst. Woke up light-headed and dizzy. I spent the day in bed, slept and had a glass of water in between. 


• 20/366: Complete. Went back to work though I still felt uneasy. My boss said I should've taken the day off because I still don't look good. But I said I don't want to find myself behind my tasks so I decided to come in. My short time at a bookstore at lunch time was worth it because I found a complete collection of  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series in one book. The cover was a bit battered so I asked if they have a new copy. The customer service personnel said that was the last copy. I decided to get the book because it was hard finding an edition like that. I asked if they can just give a sort of discount, and they gave a 10% off.  


• 21/366: Inferno. Popular Days is on when I arrived at SaGuijo. It was the first Terno Inferno for 2012 and all my friends will be there so I decided to come even though I haven't fully recovered. And I am glad I did. Brought my camera with me and was able to film sets from Not Another Boy Band, Hidden Nikki, Sleepwalk Circus, and Up Dharma Down. I just really feel good whenever I film something. 


• 22/366: Cupcake. That's me, Kris, and Armi. It was dark because my BlackBerry doesn't have a flash and SaGuijo's starting to turn off their lights. Terno Inferno ended at 4am. Hung out with friends for a bit after. We surprised Armi, Ean, and Paul with cupcakes because the three of them celebrated their birthdays this month. I'll have to wait for another month to see them again. 

Toe Live In Manila on March 20, 2012

This is probably the best news this week (aside from the low prices for med cart, heh) : Japanese band Toe is confirmed to have a show in Manila on March 20!

After their successful 10th Anniversary concert featuring Indie pop-rock band Tahiti 80, Terno Recordings is bringing yet another brilliant music to Manila shores in the form of Japanese band, Toe.

Toe is composed of Kashikura Takashi on drums, Mino Takaaki on guitar, Yamane Satoshi on bass guitar, 
and Yamazaki Hirokazu on guitar. (photo from INTASTELLA BURST HK)

I fell in love with Toe after hearing their song, Goodbye, from their For Long Tomorrow LP.




Now if hearing that song and seeing how passionate this band is while playing their music still did not convince you to see the show, then there is something wrong with you. Seriously, seeing Toe live would definitely be an experience of a lifetime and not  to be missed.
Update: Toe's first Manila concert on March 20 will be held at The Tents, Alphaland Southgate in Makati.

Hi, Joe. May I admire you? ♥

11 - 15/366 | Blogging Pains and Plans

I've successfully taken one photo a day for 15 days straight, but sort of failed with the 'blogging everyday' part. I guess I just really have to push myself harder and write something about my day on a daily basis. My life is pretty boring and there's nothing interesting for me to write about. Or there is still that fear of being called 'self-centered' that's why I cannot really gain back my enthusiasm when it comes to really writing down my thoughts.

Day 11

Day 14

Day 15

Here's the run-down of the past five days of my life:

• 11/366: Break. One of them coffee breaks. I stayed in the office all day just getting used to the new rules and finishing up stuff that needs to be delivered that day. I am getting more comfortable with being myself further and further. More shrugging and not give a f*ck. 


• 12/366: Buddies. Had dinner with my best friend at Tokyo Tokyo in Megamall, beside that hexagon gazebo. We were so into each other's kwentos that we failed to take a picture together to document the evening. 


• 13/366: Transition. Began editing the Send Off party video presentation that day. It had been ages the last time I did some editing. I downloaded a trial version of Avid Studio. I was surprised at how vast the selection of effects, transitions, and other effects that you can do with Avid. The transitions are pretty tricky so I decided to just stick with the basic transitions because of the limited time frame to finish everything.


• 14/366: Fan. Still did some editing, and then went with Kris to Ayala Museum. It was fun touring the museum specially the Diorama. The last time I had been at the Ayala Museum was when I was in 5th grade. After the museum tour, we went to the Glorietta Activity Center to see Up Dharma Down play at an event there. It was weird they weren't allowed to play Sana, Indak, and Tadhana. Brought my camera with me and shoot the whole thing. Videos will be up on my YouTube page in the coming days.


• 15/366: Blue. After one week, I still am blue.

10/366: Change.

Project 366: Day 10

I needed it. As soon as possible. Drowning in a sea of uncertainty and negative vibes for more than two months is just too much to handle. I never had a boyfriend, and maybe will never be a girlfriend for that matter but the first solution I thought of was doing the typical thing a person does when some part of herself is broken: get a haircut.

Don't worry, I didn't do anything drastic.

9/366: Lines.

Project 366: Day 09

One of those beautiful afternoons after work. I am starting to get the hang of the new routine. Yes, I'd like to say that I am a 'routine' kind of person. The good thing about routines is it somewhat gives you a straight line to follow. My 2011 was a year of routines. And there is one routine that I am trying to get pass. To move on from. Being it an everyday thing for almost eleven months is kinda hard for me.

I guess one change will forever remain constant.

8/366: Brosia.

Project 366: Day 08

Warning: this book cannot be read in public.

Pol Medina Jr.'s Pugad Baboy Issue One. This was an unexpected gift from Sir Rene back in 2006. I was a newbie at our company and he is one of my boss. I'm always known as a gloomy one and reading this book makes me otherwise.

7/366: Team.

Project 366: Day 07

Meet Tutets and Chase, our two trusted canines. They have been with the family for more than five years. If only they can learn how to be a 'guide dog', that would help my mother a lot. Funny how they always fight but at the end of the the day, they have each other's back.
