They've Got It All For Us!

My family decided to get lunch at the mall to celebrate what would've been my parents' 33rd wedding anniversary.
We ate at Rai-rai Ken (hated the fact that they didn't have matching spoons and forks. Buti na lang may chopsticks) and my sister and I went shopping at SM.
I had difficulty shopping for stuff 'coz of my swollen hand.
Here are some pics of our day:

At Rai-rai Ken:





Stuff we bought:

Lady Gaga Quotes



-Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

-Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best. When you make music or write or create, it's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about at the time.

-I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music—something powerful that will really grab the audience and create a memorable impression. I think they're very intertwined, and I'm part of that too.

-The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous. Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.

Leonardo Dicaprio Quotes



-I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.

-If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.

-The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day.

-The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.

-To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

How Do You Take Care of Your Feet?



I noticed that the soles of my feet weren't as soft as they were before.
I am now taking more time to care for my feet and I'm currently using the products seen above.
I'm not really into getting a foot spa done at a salon so I usually just do it myself at home.
I was wondering if anyone out there could kindly suggest better foot care products since the ones I'm using now doesn't seem to be doing a good job.
Thanks. ^_^

Cute Items

My boyfriend accompanied me to the hospital today and we came across this store that sold the cutest little items. They only cost 15-20php per item. I would've bought more if I had brought more cash with me. Must remember to go back. ^_^








Madonna Quotes



-To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage; because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

-I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.

- Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done.

-I'd like to think I am taking people on a journey; I am not just entertaining people, but giving them something to think about when they leave.

-I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who've had, at some point in their lives to struggle to survive. It adds another color to your character.

- It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity.

-I think that life is a paradox and you have to embrace that in your work and your belief systems ... you can't be a literalist, and that's the trouble that people always find themselves in. That's why people always hit a wall with any of my stuff, because you can't take it literally.

Because I'm Dizzy and Bored...

Just a bunch of random stuff...
I'm off from work since I'm still feeling dizzy.
Haven't had the chance to go to the hospital to have my MRI yet.
Too Lazy.
Oi vei...
Just some tests I took online:




You Are Lightning



Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence
You are best known for: your power
Your dominant state: performing


Your Name is Green



Your name tells people that you are harmonious and balanced. You've got it together, and it shows.
You are hopeful and optimistic. You know it's not over until it's over, and you keep fighting until the end.
People see you as peaceful to the point of being zen. You won't allow anything to get under your skin.
You struggle with envy at times, but you never let it show. You believe that jealousy is a weakness, and you try not to let yourself indulge in it.


Your Preppy Name Is: Emmons Steele Olney the Fifth



But most people know you as Buffy


Your Pimp Name Is: Sugar Lips Money



Your pimp hand is strong!


You Will Be A Modern Bride!



While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding traditions, you want a wedding with a twist
You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines
Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...
Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalized vows, whatever suites you!!!


Your Psyche is Orange



You are a total hedonist. If it can bring you pleasure, you love it.
You love life, and your energy inspires others to find their own personal source of joy.
Creative and optimistic, you can also show great purpose and focus.
When you are too orange: you overindulge in every temptation - yet you are not satisfied
When you don't have enough orange: you can't find happiness anywhere, and your life seems empty






You Run Through Life



Your journey through life energetic, fast paced, and spontaneous.
You like to live for the moment, and you always prefer taking action to sitting still.
You crave a lot of freedom in your life. You can feel burdened by too make rules and responsibilities.
If you can do things your own way, you're really are able to shine. You are very good at understanding the world.






Your Love Life is Like Casablanca



"Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time."
For you, love is never finished. If you've loved someone once, you'll always love them.
You're an old fashioned romantic... even if your relationships don't end up as romantic as you'd like.
Your love style: Traditional and understated
Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Complicated and ambiguous



Review:Up (Spoiler-free)



I loved this film.
I had the chance to watch it in 3D theater and I wasn't disappointed.
It was worth the extra 100php.
The story was touching and very entertaining.
The characters were cute and unique.
It made me think of my own life and made me realize that I was losing perspective.
I admit, some scenes made me cry.
It made me think of what my life would be like when I'm old.
This is definitely my new favorite animated movie.
Bring a friend, your family and loved ones to this movie.
I definitely recommend it.


Angelina Jolie Quotes



-All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.

-I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person, and don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.

-I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy. When I get logical and I don't trust my instincts - Thats when I get in trouble.

-Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from over mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

Carl's 3rd Birthday!

Some pics from my nephew's 3rd birthday: ^_^














Michael Jackson Quotes



-Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.

-Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.

-I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarass easily.

-
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

-Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.

-You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

Elvis Presley Quotes



-Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.

-I'll never make it, it will never happen, because they're never going to hear me 'cause they're screaming all the time.

-Rhythm is something you either have or don't have, but when you have it, you have it all over.

-The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

-Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.


Review:District 9



The movie started out as a bit boring.
It's not your typical alien movie.
I found it a bit difficult to understand the actors' accents but I got used to it by the middle of the film.
What was interesting about the film is that it showed just how frightening human nature can be.
It tackled the topic of xenophobia and I found it emotionally stirring.
I haven't seen a movie like this before and I found it intriguing.
The ending was very sad and my heart just went out for Wikus van de Merwe.
I would recommend it as a good movie to watch at home but probably not good enough to waste your money watching it on the big screen.

P.S.
This is my 100th post. Hurrah! ^_^


What's Your Speed?

I've been having some problems with my internet connection for the past few days.
It's either slow or intermittent.
I took a speedtest and here's the result:



The tech support guy said that I have a very good connection.
I think it was pure luck on their part.
How about you, how's your broadband connection?
