This is SURI(ly) proof she does exist
After months of being maligned endlessly with really malicious rumors about the existence of their baby daughter, Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes have agreed to have Suri's picture taken by famed photographer Annie Liebovitz. The couple are pictured on the cover of the October issue of Vanity Fair with their bundle of joy, Suri. Click here for the story.

Isn't she the carbon copy of her dad? So cute!
The baby not the father, ok?

Teehee!

An ironic afternoon delight
Yesterday, I was bored beyond my wit's end not to mention the fact that I was melting in the stifling humidity so I decided to hop over to the mall.
After a few minutes of loitering at book stores, I said to myself 'hey instead of wasting time why not just go for your monthly hair treatment?'

So I went to check if my regular hairstylist was around. Fair enough, he was there so I had my protein hair treatment along with some dry hair repair thingie he recommended then I had it styled with some pointed layers in front to frame my fat face then it was straightened by a blow dryer for aesthetic purposes. So 2 and a half hours later (yes it took them that long!!!) there I was with shiny glossy hair the kind you only see in shampoo ads but with a huge splitting headache from not eating anything for snack.

The ironic part is after I showered this morning, my wavy curls are back on my head, I've tied my hair into a ponytail like I always do.
So my extravagantly frivolous pleasure was literally washed down the drain.

Oh well. =)

Happiness is (well at least for me it is)
Going through those stacks of vcds at various video stores, you know those they sell for only P100 or P75 and finding rare little gems of films I've always wanted to buy.

Now if only I can find a cabinet big enough to contain all the films I've bought through the years, I will be truly pleased! =)

Something fishy
Last night after my sister and I emptied our wallets during our major shopping spree at the Ayala Malls, we decided to dine out before heading home. Well truth be told, she needed a completely new wardrobe so I was just the 'bag' lady as in the one who carried all the stuff she bought while she sneaked in and out of the fitting rooms. But hey I did buy myself one single item. A bright orange linen blouse because I'm currently obsessing over the color orange. This is evidenced by the numerous orange items (bags, underwear, clothes even socks I might never wear but bought anyway simply 'cause it looks pretty) I have hanging in my closet.

So anyways there we were standing outside the row of various restaurants at Greenbelt 3 and mentally crossing each one till we reached that little nook near the Cinemas. We ended up at Fish & Co. much to the chagrin of my sister who loves seafood yet strangely doesn't like fish, at all. I've always wanted to eat there. I ordered the Clam Chowder (which I simply love) together with my main course - Fish and Chips which is served in a hot pan. While sister dearest ordered was forced to have the New York Fish and Chips (it has Parmesan cheese mixed with the fish) but opted for the seafood rice instead of the fries. The fish was fresh and tasty. They serve a rather big portion of fish (well for me anyway since I don't really eat much during dinner). Nice ambiance too. Check out their cute website.

A food post ... well maybe not.
I was chatting with this dude. The topic veered towards his fav food. He said he loved burritos. I told him I've never had a burrito in my entire life. Let alone know what it looks like. He was shocked because it's like one of his main food groups. So he just recommended I try the famous San Francisco burrito if I ever visit the US of A. The chat ended after a lengthy discussion about the film "Tampopo" (a film I haven't watched) which also delves into food albeit in this very bizarrely perverse way.

Yes insomnia does that to you.
I chat about weird topics with complete strangers at 2 in the morning.

Just another picture post
In the spirit of channeling happy positive thoughts, I decided to post another picture.

Sa totoo lang, napipikon na ako sa walang katapusan na negative vibes nasasagap ko mula sa aking bespren kuno. Kung nakinig lang siya sa akin noon pa na huwag mag-asawa kaagad eh di sana hindi siya nababaliw sa isang katutak na suliranin niya ngayon. Ayan tuloy!

Yikes napilitan pa akong mag-Tagalog kasi baka mabasa niya ito. Kahit na nagsumpa siya sa akin na kailanman hinding hindi niya babasahin ang blog ko. Pasensiya na kayo sa aking kabaliwan, pero blog ko naman ito, di ba? Taray ko, no? Hehehe

This was taken May 2005 during my mother's birthday celebration. We spent it at Country Suites in Tagaytay City. A vivid shot of clouds hovering over the Taal Volcano and Lake. I love this view!

Hey it's midnight
