First Day of New Moon Saga in Theaters


It goes as planned. Had to wake up by 7am. My niece, because she is more excited than me, woke up just before I did. We were on our way to the mall by 9am. Earlier than we expected, we went to McDonald's first for our breakfast. By 930am, I am already abusing my cellphone for working too hard by taking shots here and there. And by the time that the clock strikes 10am, we are the first in line to the elevator - the fastest way to get to the cinema of Trinoma instead of walking then using the elevator.

We are the fifth to fall in line for the tickets. Earliest will be 1045am. Good thing, there still some seats left for us! :) Though most of the seats were already reserved [just wondering how these people were able to reserve when I cant access the reservation site last night!!!], we managed to get the seats at the middle part that is too close to the screen.

30 minutes more before the movie starts and we are already planning what to eat later on, where to go to after eating and uploading the photos later.

There are posters in every corner of the floor for the New Moon Saga movie. So, I had my cellphone working again, taking shots here and there with my niece. We were even too shy to take those shots but looking at others, oohhh ... we are still "calmed" and "civilized" [if you know what I mean ...] LOL

Too excited, we were the 2nd in line to go inside the cinema and I have already in mind what movie to see next after this :)

Almost two hours and the movie just had the perfect ending. Me and my niece said -- haay ... so touching ...

A Day Before New Moon


My niece is bugging me to watch the movie. Many might react but I am not really a fan of the book or the movie. But what really excites me is seeing others excitement on just about anything. It makes me happy, though sound cheesy, when I see others around me are getting so excited, so pumped up, so happy ... Maybe it's true that happiness is contagious.

A Day Before New Moon.

I thought of making a reservation at http://www.sureseats.com for the New Moon Saga movie. But the link is broken even after a gazillion times of trying to access the site. I tried every known possible of accessing it through different links but to no avail. The only information that is available on the broken link is the SMS numbers for you to know which are currently being shown in their cinemas. No reservation link at all!

Well, there's another way. Call their Ayala Mall Cinema hotline. But again, my fingers are already red and still the line is freakin' busy! Argh!!!

The stubborn in me says 'I don't want other cinemas -- Ayala Cinemas only' -- after an hour of trying, I gave up. The only solution I have in mind is to get up early in the morning, drag my niece out of the bed, prepare and head straight to Trinoma [the nearest Ayala Mall to us] an hour before the mall opens.

Hopefully, there will be seats left for us by tomorrow so that we can watch it.

Seattle's Best 2010 Journal Book


I am a fan of Seattle's Best. Though, last year my friend was able to dragged me into buying the Starbuck's Planner, this time I want to get Seattle's Best Journal.

I have a favorite planner which really suits my needs and agendas so I know its not practical to have another planner from a coffee shop where I don't go frequently to kill most of my time and hang out with my friends.

Aside from my VIP card with Seattle's, which has been renewed but I still need to wait for the new card, the Journal is not the only charmer for the offer. It comes with the discount coupons for all year round. But here's the catch:

- Card holders must accumulate a total of 15 drink stickers and 5 fresh meals stickers to take home the Holiday giveaway consisting of the 2010 SBC Journal and discount coupons to enjoy whole year round.

- Card holders can get one SBC sticker with a purchase of any featured SBC products. One products, one sticker is applied:

A. SBC holiday drinks -------> 5 stickers
B. Your choice of any SBC drink (except brewed coffee, bottled drinks and juices ---> 10 stickers
C. Any SBC Fresh meals plate or Panini

- Accumulation of stickers can be done at any Seattle's Best Coffee cafe from November 3,2009 to January 31, 2010.
- Redemptio of SBC 2010 Journal is until April 1, 2010 and can be done in any SBC cafe.

Since I really love jotting down notes for my blogs and for some other things even when I'm on the road, having this Journal from my favorite coffee shop would be a blast! :)

The Unexpected Dress

Recently, I am always going to Mandaluyong area for my other errands. There is a store that I want to look around for a while now but I always thought I don't have time to do it. It was a store for the second hand dresses, bags and shoes.

One time, it was a day when I can say I have a lot of time to kill, I walked in inside the store and right there and then, I fell in love with the dresses. From the tops, pants, shorts, night dresses up to the shoes ~ they are on sale for a very low prices. The designs of the dresses don't come cheap. Like the one I found. I thought of selling it since I have an online store but after looking at the dress when I came home -- I said 'nah --- you're mine.' :)

That Perfect Dress for the Holiday Season





Just looking around the Sophie Martin boutique and this particular dress caught my eyes. It is not your typical polka dots dress or a dress-customized-for-the-holiday-season per se but it is very comfy once your body get to feel its soft cotton fabric

It costs 890php and it really is worth it. And I said to myself I already have my dress for the holiday season :)

Afternoon Foot Spa



Running errands, work, sidelines, trips and among other things occupied my life for the past few weeks. Literally no rest at all eventhough I have three days restday at work.

Upon seeing a foot spa salon, my feet suddenly felt the need to be pampered so I head inside and just go for a foot spa.



The time that my feet soaked into the basin with a massager, felt like all the cramps on my feet started flying away and I can say ... "aaahhh ...nice"

It lasted for twenty minutes. It was a nice feeling. Then, the woman attending to me that it is time for the second procedure. According to her, it is the procedure of removing the dead skin. I already know the procedure blah blah but sometimes we really don't know why they are doing it in such order so in between, I am asking the woman what is this and what is that. I am really in the mood for chat time that day since I know it's going to take a bit long. To exfoliate it, she used a pumice stone and a foot file along with an exfoliating foot spray to aid in the exfoliating process. As soon as my feet have no more dry skin or calluses on them, she rinsed them off and pat them dry.

For the third step, she applied a moisturizer on my feet and gave it a massage. I went sleepy but my mouth still want to talk. So, from foot spa we had the conversation up to the most nonsense expensive bags / accessories of the celebrities.

Time flies and we're now to the final step -- getting my nails done. I am not a fan of colored nail polish as I have a low tolerance when seeing some cracked polish on my toenails so i just always go for the natural nail polish. It may look boring but that's my being-practical-attitude thinking. :)

Next month, I'll try to get another spa session again. It is so addictive ...

Cine Europa 2009



THURSDAY.

This is the end of my vacation leave. Too bad, this is the only time my friend send me a message if I wanna go out. But hey, I still have my friday as my restday so hopefully, he'd say let's go out Friday night.

Fortunately, he did.

Cine Europa is going to showcase their very own movies and it is for FREE!!!. Good thing before that, I still need to run some errands near Shangri-La Mall so I won't be afraid to become lazy meeting my friends.

Well, I won't bore you with what happened during the entire day. Let's just focus on Cine Europa.

FRIDAY.

It was a blast!

They said that they are just going to give tickets ten minutes before the movie starts but even 30 minutes before the movie, the line up of people are already jampacked! We already created a circle because straight line is going to look messy already.

There are lots of celebrities, hippies, yuppies and etc. all vying for a free ticket to Cine Europa. Good thing that I have my frieds with me on the line so it was not at all boring. We we're laughing the whole, making fun of some things we see and even joking about ourselves already.

It was a fun experience.

Next stop? Korean fever movies at MegaMall! Yipee!!!

The BookWorm in Me


It is the start of my 5-day out of the office galore. And what is the best thing to do? Go out of town just like what I normally do. But then -- I don't want to spend my money. I am really drooling over that new cellphone because I REALLY need to replace my old one. It's dying, so to say.

So what? I just decided to stay at home and be productive. But before I did that, I made a stop at Books For Less store in their Commonwealth branch. Instead of buying DVD's for a marathon watching, I want to feed myself some great ideas and useful thoughts.

It is my first time to go to the store. I never thought it would be this fun. I've seen a lot of great books that you will normally see at a price of more than 1k but there, it just costs less than 500 pesos. I promise myself that that would be my favorite bookstore from now on.

So, I had my first book from them. The title is "Earn What You Deserve" -- simply put "how to be debt-free".

Yeah -- instead of spending money, I am thinking of earning money and saving it.

Now, is there a nicer idea?

Best Bantering Scene I've Ever Seen


I just so love "The Notebook" movie. Here is my favorite scene of all in the movie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww1WvFZzv4A


It's not just because of their bantering scenes but I just remember some cheesy lines that my bf one time imitated for me because I am so drooling over this movie

"Can you picture your life for me .... ?" Blah blah blah

But I am always stuck on the last question of Noah to Allie -- "What do you want? What do you really want?" And to stress the point of Noah of what do you just want without thinking what just anybody wants. It's not easy. Even if you have your life in your own hands, you can't just care less about what other people around you may / will think. I love to care less on what they may think on what I am really doing [because it makes me happy] but I do CARE for them. Jeez!!!

Well, I am being EMO again. Not the way I want this post to be. But hey, if me and my boyfriend will fight, I want it this way. Hahaha! Nice fight with a lot of "think-it-over" moments! Maybe I should tell him we can do our fight better than this and let's record it Hahahaha
