At the bus stop

Filed under: Travel — Tags: , — buttonsandpins @ 10:43 AM

A not-so-busy and not-so-crammed Tanauan bus stop, around 10 Am of 26 January 2010. I was in another jeepney while taking this snapshot. Good thing, this photo didn’t end up blurred—which was purely out of luck.  ^_^

30 January 2010 Get-together

Filed under: Travel — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 12:31 PM

 

I noticed that spur-of-the-moment get-together end up as the most fun-filled and memorable ones. The bonding moment of HRMD girls with our former manager Ms. Fe and her BFF Ms. Eva was a perfect example for this observation.

Though, we had a very short time for preparation,we still had a simple yet feastive party at Ms. Cielo’s place (or should I say mansion?) in Malvar. Our dinner included grilled tawilis, ensaladang talong at mangga, Andok’s chicken, baked mac (Ms. Cielo’s specialty), gelatin in coffee (courtesy of Ms. Cielo’s BIL), and Red Ribbon manggo roll. *Yummy* BTW, we had a reverse meal— we ate the dessert first and Ms. Fe said that she isn’t into dieting for a while. LOL. 

We toured Ms. Cielo’s one-month old home sweet home, and their former place turned into for rent party place. Of course, we had lots of piktyur, piktyur opportunities for posterity sake. *hehehe*

Chocoloco

Filed under: Food — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 8:24 AM

 

February is here. Valentine’s day is in two weeks time. Friends and lovers will celebrate Love—of course singles have their night-out too. *hehehe*

Chocolates and flowers rule February. Meaning, the choco and flora enthusiasts, who also make money out of their hobbies, see greener pasture during the love season, since the demand for the said products is high. Why not? When most of us show our love thru either of chocolate, flowers, or both—or in some other ways which I prefer not to discuss here.

Anyway, this promotional post may cater to your needs.

Certified delicious Chocoloco chocolates (by lucaluca, as dubbed by the hobbyist herself) is now availbale. Chocoloco are sold by pieces, arranged, or packaged.

Sweet-tooth Batangueños who wants a mouthful of customized choco products, please add Chocoloco at FB for more details and contact info.

Pussy moment #2: Curiosity

Filed under: Pussy moments — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 11:27 AM

I was walking down the stairs when I saw this orange kitty sitting at the base of the staircase. At first, I thought that He was shivering, but a closer look on his fur made conclude that He was simply hanging-out.  ^_^

An introverted cat? Maybe. Or He just prefered to be alone for a while. Or he got tired of bugging the noisy and mischievous students at the food court. *Sigh* I actually didn’t know the reason and I didn’t bother to ask the cat (as if he can answer me back).   ;-P

Anyway, this kitty was such a ball of cuteness. He got a summoning eyes making him look meek.  I am glad that He was tame and game enough for a brief photo op. *hehehe*

Here, the kitty looks like clueless and is curious to know what I am doing. LOL

BTW, this cat reminded me of my Meowth (where are you?).

divided by three

Filed under: Thoughts — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 11:47 AM

The things (not counting my work) that I started doing the past few days (and will be doing in the coming weeks) made me more conscoius of time management. I should be or I’ll be caught dead—I mean I will be unable to beat the deadlines.

During the times when I feel pressured, I ask for the impossible.

If only I can divide myself into three…one-third of me for each of my extra tasks…

 

*sigh*

But of course I can make it—As long as I faithfully follow the daily schedule I made. ^_^

The Lagoon at DLSU-Dasmariñas

The Lagoon at DLSU-Dasmariñas

21 January marks my first time in De La Salle University-Dasmariñas. The Lagoon inside the campus caught my attention most. The panorama is very pleasing and relaxing. I assume that it gives an ambiance that is favorable to students’ learning.

BTW, I have a self-imposed assignment, that is, to ask my La Sallian friends if the lagoon is natural or man-made. Or do you know the answer?

Think of This: Photo op

Filed under: Thoughts — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 6:15 AM

From among the thoughts I have read which made me either sad, enlightened, challenged, or encouraged; I am sharing this one to you.

One rainy day, a mother went to pick up her son from school thinking that her son will fear the lightning.

On the way, she found her child smiling at the sky for every lightning. She asked him why he smiled.

The little boy said “God is taking me a photo, so I have to look good. That’s why I smiled.” 

 

There are two things I realized upon reading this (very) short story.

*  Take advantage of every photo opportunity that comes your way. Smile.  The photos you’ll have and keep will serve as proof that you are good-looking and graceful under pressure —and that you also enjoyed your own cheesy momnets— once upon a time. *hehehe*

*  Fears—we share some and differ in the others. But please, don’t assume the extent of similarity/contrast in our fears. Things maybe too scary or too big, that you’re doubting your ability to deal with it. Fear not and trust in the Lord. For He let you experience only those you can end up as the winner.

Pink and nothing but pink

Filed under: Caught by the lens — Tags: , — buttonsandpins @ 5:58 AM

I mind my own business—but sometimes my nosiness tend slip. *hehehe*  Taking this photo is one of the times when I can’t help myself  but give in to my impulse (without asking for permission).

“Pink and nothing but pink—I mean shades of pink”

*winks*

Making ang keeping friends

Filed under: Thoughts — Tags: , , — buttonsandpins @ 9:10 AM

I came upon this message while browsing my cp’s inbox.This made me smile so I forwarded (after I made some changes) it to my AB Pasaway friends.

Bakit ba nagkakaroon ng barkada sa eskwela?

Hindi ba’t isang grupo lang kayo ng mga taong iisa ang pinag-aaralan?

pero pinili mong kausapin ang katabi mo, at ang katabi ng katabi mo, at ang buong klase…

Hanggang sa makilala mo sila ng lubusan, tanggapin, at higit sa lahat mahalin, kahit hindi naman required, di ba?

At sa pagtatapos ng ilang taong pagsasama-sama—at sa mga sususnod na panahon— marerealize mo na mas importante pa ang mga taong ito kaysa sa anumang markang nakalagay sa card—kahit sa TOR— mo.  ^_^

 

I remembered the moments we shared. *sigh*

 I used to see myself as someone who finds it hard to connect and be at ease with my friends, but instrospecting with this SMS made me think otherwise.

Now I can say (and I believe) that my classmates in college (regardless whether or not we graduated at the same time and in the same school) are really more than classmates, our bond of friendship made them very dear to me… I love them…  They are my friends for keeps!

I strongly agreee with Karen’s reply via SMS. She said

“Oh my God! Bigla ko tuloy naalala ang halos araw-araw na kulitan at tawanan, as in everyday, no dull moments!” … “Grabe, wala talagang katulad!” 

 

Sayang, I was unable to identify the original writer of this message (I can’t even remember who sent this to me). I would love to say BIG thanks to him/her for making me realize how much love I can give (and receive) to my friends.

How about you, any person/people you remembered while reading the message above?

It fits my feet: Black rocks

Filed under: Caught by the lens — Tags: — buttonsandpins @ 4:00 AM

Suzie, a rockstar? This was my first thought upon seeing my friend one afternoon (a long-time-no-see incident when we’re actually in the same campus). So asked her if its the style she was then sporting. She just answered me with giggles. I still can’t believe that my sweet, bubbly, and sporty pal is now into emo. Anyway, I love her black high-heeled shoes! It was perfect for her outfit (I am not sure if she’s a fan of Avril Lavigne). 

Hmmm… I haven’t seen her wearing her cutie shoes (again).

BTW, this post marks the return of my “It fits my feet” entries. You may view my other posts in my other blog,  Taste Bud’s Corner (two entries were about shoes and one was about slippers).
