Lately, i admit being too emotional....i only want to listen to sad love songs....maybe because i can relate with the lyrics...but the songs in the cd entitled NINA:featuring the hits of Barry Manilow, Special Limited Edition (which was given to me by a very, very close friend....its original, i proudly say..) really made a mark in my heart..the songs were soulfully sang by Nina...who happens to be one of my fave singers...

the cd... ;-)

Disc 1 includes the following songs:

1. Somewhere Down the Road

2. Even Now

3. One of These Days

4. Weekend in New England

5. If I Should Love Again

Bonus Tracks:

6. What If

7. Someday

8. Collide

9. The Christmas Song

More often than not...everytime i listen to those songs..i cant help myself but cry...huhuhu...my friends were likewise asking why am i crying..and they just laugh at me when i answered them that im lestening to Nina's songs...hehehe

I dont know what's the point of sharing this...but i guess...those who really knew me can easily tell what i am feeling...ano nga b? well....

Claw Daddy's at Serendra

February 28, 2009...before starting our long day ahead..babe and i had lunch at Claw Daddy's at Serendra...but before deciding to eat at that resto...we had first a very long choosing of place where to eat..we almost walked through all the restos and back...when i feel kinda tired..i just told him that we better eat at Claw Daddy's..good thing he agreed..;-)

babes' order...as usual..baby backribs..hehehe..with baked potato and beans as side dish...

mine was prawns and well-done steak...

It was babes' first time there..and so i was happy to see him enjoying the food...He likewise commented the Claw Daddy's baby backribs is much more delightful than the one we ordered at Highlands Steakhouse...

We both went back to the parking lot with full tummy..;-) and ready for our next itinerary...

Highlands Steakhouse at MOA

2009-01-22T02:34:00.000-08:00

January 21, 2009...after office work...my babe picked me up and we went to Smart Wireless Center at Mall of Asia...right after that..we stroll around to look for a place to eat...i am really not a choosy person when it comes to foods because i love to eat...ahihihi...so when he asked me where i want to eat..i simply answered.."kahit san!"...and so we ended up eating at Highlands Steakhouse...

entrance

Upon entering..i feel like i'm in a western movie setting...The resto has a Texan-look including all the waiters...it likewise have a live band singing country songs...which i really admired since the singer sings very well..as if we're listening to a recorded, old-style plaque... Most of the guests were foreigners...We chose a table on the side...The menu was quite amazing...for the prices can be compared those in a hotel menu!!!

the menu

bread and butter for appetizer

babes' order..baby backribs

my order...well-done steak

Yum...yum...yum...if we're gonna rate Highlands Steakhouse...we're gonna give it the following scores...from 1 to 10..10 being the highest:

Foods : 9

Service : 8

Ambiance : 9

CR : 8

Overall : 9

It's been a while since i last visited and updated my blog...and now...i don't actually know why my hands brought me to my keyboard and post something...but anyway...this is my first post for the year of the ox... ;D

For the previous months, i've been quite very busy not only for work but for extracurricular activities as well...Since my last post here dated June..maybe i can share with you what i have done starting the month of July...

JULY 06, 2008 ...attended the birthday bash of Keena Marie, our big boss' very lovely and energetic only daughter at Star City, Roxas Blvd., Manila...Sumptuous meal (by Kenny Rogers Roasters)...ride-all-you-can tickets...free entrance to the Snow World and a very nice souvenir/giveaway wowed all the guests...

wheewww! tired with all the rides...

the souvenir/giveaway...on the spot picture taking for the personalized mug

JULY 11, 2008 to be exact...i was inducted as President of the Rotaract Club of Sampiro during the 6th Handover and Induction Ceremonies of Rotary Club of Makati Poblacion, District 3830. Our club has been a partner in service of the Rotary Club of Makati Poblacion (which is likewise out mother unit) in helping communities and changing lives by delivering education, medical, socio-civic environmental and other related activities.

my name tag

AUGUST 03, 2008 ...although this was a Sunday...still in the work mode and attended the Sangguniang Kabataan Program Review and Planning Workshop as coordinator of Cluster V barangays of Makati. Though the whole day activity was quite tedious, still we ended the day by watching "A Very Special Love" featuring Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz and "The Mummy Returns" at Rockwell Powerplant Mall...

during the session (i'm the one wearing baby blue blouse)

August 24, 2008 ...my first out-of-town activity as a President of Rotaract Club of Sampiro...we went to Mabini, Batangas, together with our mother club (Rotary Club of Makati-Poblacion) wherein we donated toilet bowls and lavatories...school uniforms and educational materials e.g. books, dictionaries etc.

segregating the educational materials before turning over to the school principal

some of the beneficiaries (we likewise tried to put on the uniforms, surprisingly, it fits!)

Which story is yours?

2008-06-26T18:58:00.000-07:00

LoVe... is not always like a fairy tale...

There are people who give
so much love to those who
don't love them back...

There are some who feel so
loved and find out in the
end that they were fooled...

There are some who's into
mutual love but can't call
their partner as their own
because someone already
holds the title...

There are some who give so
much love but the other
won't believe because they
always consider your past...

There are some who receive
so much love but can't
seem to move on from
previous relationship...

Or others just want to play
the game and choose their
playmate...

Now which story is yours?

Finally!

After more than a week of disturbed and sleepless nights...wheeeewwww! finally i made myself to sleep last night...;-) i was able to rest and sleep without waking up every hour...right after watching the ending of the korea-novela "LOVERS"...i felt kinda sleepy...maybe because the ending was good and my eyes were tired..tired because the korea-novela that i'm watching brought me to tears..ahihihi...well, knowing me, i really am a person who has very shallow...as in shallow tears...huhuhu...nevertheless...i know there is a deeper reason that made me asleep last night...hmmmm...what or who could it be? well....ahihihihi

I need to sleep.....

2008-06-23T22:56:00.000-07:00

The effects of lack of sleep are profound...sleep deprivation stunts to explore the effects of it which have unanimously led to irritability, lack of concentration, a feeling of distance from the outside world, fear and paranoia, and forgetfulness. It poses the question - in this day and age, who doesn't feel the effects of lack of sleep?

During those past nights...the average hours that i've slept was only about 3 hours! and i really pity myself for being a damn insomniac!...however, this doesn't happened for the first time...i've been in this state for a lot of times...so sad that i'm again sufferring it's adverse effects...:-(

Getting sufficient sleep, at least 8 hours each night is beneficial to both our health and our skin which helps to give an overall improvement to our skin texture and gives it a new glow...while we sleep, our skin is being renewed and restored...some of the stress and harmful effects from daily living is being reversed...but due to lack of sleep, we are depriving our skin of the opportunities for self-renewal...the ill-effects of lack of sleep are most evident on the skin beneath our eyes... this area of the skin here is the most fragile...it is much, much thinner than the other areas of the skin...lack of sleep leaves behind dark circles, puffy eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles...i've tried using specialised skin care products and treatments which can reverse some of the effects of sleep deprivation...however, eye care products and treatments have limited ability in reducing those puffy eye bags and dark circles...they even cannot reverse all the damage caused by lack of sleep...hence, prevention is still the best approach...

At this very moment...i am hoping for a peaceful, undisturbed and sufficient sleep tonight...not because i really need to sleep...but because i'm afraid that all it's ill-effects will register on my face soon...ahihihi

Friendship Journey

2008-06-09T22:32:00.000-07:00

Ever wondered what is the real essence of the saying "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed"?...people talk about the true value of friendship without knowing what it stands for... true friendship is when there are no formalities...when the person you are talking about is counted as family...when the relation you share reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for sometime, your relationship remains intact...best friends need not meet up often to make sure that the friendship remains constant...the trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help.

If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can endure even long distances...they find a way of being in touch despite busy schedules...true friendship never fades away...in fact it grows better with time...true friends don't need a posh place to hang out...their most precious hideout is each others' rooms!...true friendship thrives on trust, inspiration and comfort...best friends come to know when the other person is in trouble, merely by listening to their "Hello" over the phone...

Over the years...we got to meet a lot of people everyday...and i may say that i am really lucky to have the best of friends around me...which i may likewise say...that we stayed through the years...

Come...and meet some of them...the best among the rest..cream of the crop as they say... ;-)

Wheeeewwww!

At long last...i've got in the mood making my own blog...actually, i have been planning to make one for so long now...but due to tons of workload...i wasn't able to start even creating an account...ahihihi...

I was kinda amazed how my friends Bhang and Ate Weng made theirs...and upon seeing their end products..i said to myself that i have a very long way learning to go...

This is just my first step...and hopefully, i would be able to get help from friends who have lots of knowledge in doing this wonderful project...
