You know what? If I have my own television, it will be tuned in only on one channel. That’s Travel & Living only. I love travel shows and most especially cooking shows! Anything about food, cooking with traveling… I love that!

And of course, I should mention that I am a big fan of Jamie Oliver, Anthony Bourdain, Ian Wright and Curtis Stone.

What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy Saturday?

I actually love curling up on the sofa or on the bed during a rainy Saturday. I bring with me a good book or two and my ever reliable booklight. And then I read until I get sleepy.

Sometimes, when I am inclined, I go watch movies one after another. But I prefer curling up and reading.

I had a huge crush on this sophomore guy when I was already a senior. His name was Jonathan. I remember he was so darn cute! He’s my sister’s classmate. He knew I had a crush on him and I didn’t mind. I was like that. I let the person I had a crush on know my feelings for him. Makapal talaga mukha ko noon! Hehehe

There was also this project in our Values Education subject wherein we were all given a prayer leaf each for babies who were to be aborted. We were to ‘adopt’ two babies, name them, and then would pray for them every day. I named my babies Jonathan after him and Vergel after the then popular basketball player with whom I had a huge crush on, too.

I have this really cool notebook that I found back in college. There were stores near the university selling different school items. I found the unique and pretty notebook there!

I remember I couldn’t afford it. It was expensive, selling for a hundred bucks. During that time, a hundred bucks can get you through 3 days of school already. But I really wanted that notebook so I saved up and bought it when I already had the money.

I made it a scrapbook. I wrote my favorite quotes in it, some inspirational stories and lots of kikay stuff. I almost lost it, my dad putting it in the junk box in our storage area. Good thing I found it over the weekend. Now, it will surely be filled with more kikay stuff

P.S. Sorry, I will just post a photo of it tomorrow after I get my digicam fixed.

My friend was teasing her daughter about being a crybaby. They watched Shrek Forever After and her eldest daughter cried. According to my friend, her daughter cries in every movie they watch. I was laughing at their banter. But I realized after that I am also a crybaby. I also cry a little in almost every movie I get to watch. I think it’s the melodramatic in me that surfaces during those times I shed a tear or two.

I cried in The Last Song when the little boy, the younger brother of the lead character broke down when his dad was in critical condition already. I cried when Tatum Channing cried in Dear John. I cried a little in How To Train Your Dragon during the part that the boy realized he lost his leg. And so many more scenes in different movies I’ve watched.

Have you cried while watching a movie yourself?

When I was younger, I used to dream of collecting angel figurines. Like the photo above. I love angels. I feel like there’s one guiding us every step of the way and the figurine is a perfect representation of the angel I have in mind. A friend in college gave me two angel figurines. I know my mom stored most of our things because we were supposed to move. I think it’s in one of the boxes left unopened upstairs.

I no longer dream of collecting angel figurines. I still love angels but I have outgrown that desire for clutter. I think I will get single one for my room soon. Not now but soon when I already have the money to buy a Lladro.

I have been thinking of getting a condo unit. Partly as an investment, partly because I want something to call my very own. We all live in a house owned by my dad. He keeps on telling us that the house will go to us in the future. But I don’t want to to share in it. I want the house to go to our youngest. Anyway, my sisters and I can afford to get our own houses.

What I like in a condo is that it is small and easy to maintain. And I must admit, it is a status symbol for some people. It is for me. It will be a visible sign of how much I was able to achieve in my life.

I saw a question that goes like this… do you wear socks when you go to bed?

And it reminded me of the socks I got last Christmas from my sister. A few years ago, I got into wearing socks whenever I go to bed. But these days, I don’t wear socks all the time anymore. I wear it when I am sick. For some reason I feel fine when I wear socks especially when I have a fever.

Or when my feet aches so bad from too much walking.

Reading books.

I have a pile of unread and unopened books beside me. I kept telling myself that I will read one book on weekends until I finish the pile. But on weekends, I work some more. Instead of relaxing with a good book on my hands, I am in front of my computer, working my butt off!

I know it’s a problem of time management because the past years, I was able to read and work at the same time. I think my multi-tasking ability is also going down the drain. I used to be able to work, read, chat and listen to the radio. All at the same time. But now, I get distracted so easily. For some reason, I can’t even focus on a book because my mind is in chaos.

I ought to start reading the book I got from my friend last Christmas. Maybe if I start with one, I might be able to get back my ability to multi-task. What do you think?

I am one of those persons who just love late night chats over coffee. I can talk for hours! In fact, just the other night, my two sisters was able to hit the sack finally at two in the morning. And all because I was talking to them about anything and everything under the sun! We were laughing about it the next day. Both were so sleepy at work. One is an accountant, the other one is a teacher. You can just imagine them yawning at work because their older sister was too chatty the night before!

Plus, the coffee really made them wide awake when they should be sleeping already by 11PM! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I love those stores near the beach. You know, the ones where you can buy all those kutingtingin or accessories and novelty items. My sister went to Boracay last year and she went home with all those novelty items that I love! I swear I will go to Boracay just for those little things hehe

Found these cute latte cups online. I want to buy all three! It will be a great addition to my growing collection of coffee cups.

What do you think?

Presenting… my very own fluffy slippers!

I love it! It’s so soft and heaven to my tired aching feet. I found it at the department store for a little over $2. There are other colors but I chose this one because pink’s just cute to me these days.

I am thinking of buying other fluffy slippers but this one will do for now.

Do you like it?

Don’t you just love guys who have really good voices? I’ve been watching GLEE with my siblings and this is one of my favorites from the hit FOX series…

That’s Puck singing Sweet Caroline for you GLEEks out there! He is adorable in that scene! I am not much of a Puck fan but after this episode, I became one.

Love it! Don’t you?

What were the last three movies you saw and did you enjoy them?

The last 3 movies I saw are Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Dear John, and Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed the first and last one. The middle is just okay.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief was good. The movie is about the son of Poseidon and how he found out he was a descendant of a Greek god. He is a demi-god being accused of stealing Zeus’ thunderbolt. After watching the movie, it made you want to grab your old mythology book and read it all over again.

Dear John is a love story between a soldier and a college girl. They met while she’s on vacation. After years of maintaining a long-distance relationship (he’s somewhere being a soldier, she’s in college in the US) through exchange of letters (thus, the title of the movie), she just decided that it’s over. She stopped writing to him and decided to marry the family friend who’s older than her and has an autistic son. When they saw each other years later, John going home because his father died, she realized how much she’s still in love with John (who wouldn’t? He’s uber hot!). Long story short, the husband had cancer and died. She and John reconnected and lived happily ever after.

After watching the movie, it made me want to strangle the girl for being fickleminded!

Sherlock Holmes is a really good movie! Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. are the best! I went out of the movie house in love with them both haha

Do you like an office like this?

I do! I think there’s so much inspiration in this office. What do you think? I love the red and white theme, plus the fact that it’s so organized. I just organized my stuff at my small home-office corner. It took me a couple of hours but after it, I was so inspired to write. When you see an organized room, you’d either get down to business or run scared. I’m for the former.

What about you? Do you like an organized and squeaky clean office or do you like the chaotic/messy one?
