another trip

another errand
from the airport, went straight to this office
good thing this government office does not
practice long lunch break like those
in the provinces



clerk tells us we need ten more !!!!! gasp...
have to look for a photocopier, FAST!!!


while waiting for the photocopies, we settled
for our late lunch
worth less than P100

after about an hour, we are done.

cat is now all smiles
because she can finally eat


waiter says you look tired, ill mix the
food for you


yummy!!!

generator room

one of the newer restos in bacolod is
generator room
aptly called because it is located at the
back of the generator set at the
gochangco condo in front of
rob's, mandalagan

food is mediterranean
basic decors


work and eat


not so long ago, we went to a neighboring island on
an errand from big daddy


since we left our dear island early in the morning,
we were tired and famished come noontime
had to eat something healthy.... salad it is



but being carnivorous, had to eat protein



after a cuppa



yay!!! on the way home

on my way home


when it rains on the way home from my other work, i drive slowly because of the many road hazards












one of them being a fully loaded cane truck















hay, can't wait to get home and play with my baby girl

mineral makeup


my friend maribel introduced me to mineral make up, at first i thought it was all hype but after using it, i've been hooked. it does not feel cakey, and just looks natural. unfortunately, it is not yet available in the philippines and i have to ask either my sis or sis-in-law to buy it for me in the US.

it claims you can even sleep with it, but to be on the safe side, i still remove any trace of make-up before retiring for the night.

my nother recent discovery is the e.l.f. line of cosmetics, imagine, probably the only line both carried by the high end rustan's and low end watsons, the line is mostly priced at P100 ONLY!!!! this is the only mascara i have used that doesn't smear, loveet

have tried almost all mascaras recommended by beauty editors that promised not to smear, but by 4pm, i usually look like a raccoon no matter how often i dab the eyelash, but with e.l.f. (eyes lips face) mascara, this doesn't happen

discrimination or just plain unsanitary?

at first glance, it appears that Amador Bernabe, 43, who used to work as a machine operator for Townsville Engineering Industries (TEI) in Queensland, was a victim of discrimination for using water to clean himself up after using the toilet. The story looks that way as it appears at Huffington Post and originally reported at GroundReport.com.

However, lest we Pinoys howl in protest, there are always two sides of the story, and Townsville Bulletin aired the employer's side. It was not his habit of using water to clean himself but the state in which he leaves the toilet that his co-workers and his employer object to.

It is always difficult to give opinions when you do not know the whole story, so in this case, I won't. However, i believe that courtesy, respect, sanitary habits go a long way in improving our relations.

cruel



just because she gained a few pounds, ok ok, about 10 lbs, doesn't give us a reason to belittle her. a lot of celebrities are heavier than her. making fun of her only perpetuates the notion that thin is beautiful

the truth why i'm mad is because i also gained 10 lbs (head hung)
