Shortest Book Reviews Eveeer Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2013 | 0 comments

I am so happy to tell you guys that at last I was able to finish reading another book this year.  I attempted reading Warm Bodies during the first quarter of the year but it became too boring for my hyperactive self.  I lost interest on the said book and thought of watching the movie instead.  As of press time, I still haven't watched the movie and I hope to watch it as soon as I get another weekend of no work and no meet-ups with friends from abroad or from the province.  

Just last month, I finished reading Wish You Were Here by Daisy Whitney.  It talks about a guy who struggled to get over her mother's death.  

I can see where the story was coming from but it was too difficult for me to connect to.  I just thought it was also very twisted.  I cannot even remember how I got out of the book alive. Probably because my friend recommended it and it made me look for a good ending which never came.  In short, it left me hanging.  Now I am starting to doubt the "goodreads" recommendation because they gave a 3.9 rating out of 5 stars. 

On the other hand, I just started reading Robert Galbraith's The Cuckoo's Calling. I don't know when I'll finish the book but I will keep you updated on my progress. 

Nutrition Month Culminating Activity at MakatiMed Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 | 0 comments

Yesterday, I hosted the 39th Nutrition Month Culminating Activity organized by the Nutrition and Dietetics Department of Makati Medical Center. 

I feel honored that they chose me to host the event because food is very close to my heart.  

That's me hosting with much gusto as I introduced the chefs who will do the cooking demonstration. 

Chefs Allen, Ana, and Martin showing the audience how to make French Toast with Peaches and Cream. 

Among the three, my favorite is Chef Martin Babasa because he still looked fresh even after the cooking demonstration.  It was so nice of him to pose with me during his cooking break.  I came to know his name through a friend on Instagram.  

I had so much fun yesterday considering all the tension I had to go through before I was allowed to host the event.  

I'd be more than happy to host the said event next year and I hope they'll inform me ahead of time.  Had I known? I could've worn a vegetable inspired outfit.  

San Juan Posted on Friday, April 26, 2013 | 2 comments

Working in Makati while living in Fairview gives me all the chance to snap the most random things that I get to see on my way to work.

One of the buildings that amazes me is the San Juan City Hall. The building looks so clean, simple, yet you know that it has some lavishness in it.

I should think that it is one of the good things that the Ejercito's have done in the city. The construction did not go smoothly though and that I am sure of because I saw some protesters outside the construction site. And until this very moment, I am still puzzled how the government of San Juan got rid of them.

Here is the photo of the said building with the photo title "San Juan."

iPhone Photography Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2013 | 0 comments

iPhone Photography is the art of taking pictures using the iPhone. Gone are the days when phones were only used for sending SMS, making calls, and playing a game called "Snake." If you still do the three, you must be using the old Nokia 3210 which was state-of-the-art when I got hold of it for the first time in 2001.

Due to the development of smartphones, capable of doing an endless list of tasks, I can only count with my fingers the number of times I thought of buying a DSLR so I can venture into photography. I thought that having one is impractical because you don't get to snap photos of the most surprising moments in your life. These surprising moments are among a few of those memories you want to cherish.

Because of this, I thought of venturing into iPhone photography because of the convenience it gives when taking the most random photos of things and events.

My first photo for the iPhone photography project is entitled "Sandigan."

Sentro 1771: Where Good Friends Eat Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 | 0 comments

Trisha in polka dots

Last night, I met up with my very good friend Trisha for dinner. We've noticed that we only get to see each other at least once a month given our busy schedules. She works as a flight attendant and most of the time her schedule does not jive so well with mine but when we get the chance to, we see to it that we hang out either for catharsis or for some good company. When I say good company, it also means eating and not being guilty about it.
