I knew I shouldn't have worn mascara


Last Thursday was quite a day for me. I went to see the last Harry Potter movie... and tried not to smudge my carefully applied mascara all over my face. Oh yes, I wear makeup now; lipstick, blush, eye shadow, mascara... the works. But I digress. You see, I've actually anticipated the lachrymal tendencies going hyper-drive because, well, I've read the book. I remember I actually had swollen eyes and could barely finish reading the thing even before I got to the epilogue when I read it. But I guess all the excitement and anticipation while I was getting dressed for the cinema chased some rational thoughts out of my frenzied head( no rubber jokes, please) and I forgot that mascara and the high possibility of tears is not exactly a nice combo. Fortunately, I was able to prevent the black smudges by trying to hold the waterfall by holding my breath and dabbing incessantly at the sides of my mascara-ed eyes. I bet my seatmates were wondering why I was taking my 3D glasses off every few minutes the entire film. Haha. I blame Dobby. I really do! It all started with him, you see. T_T



And then Snape ... :-(



But there were also cutesy moments.

And escaping Gringotts with their dragon... that was awesome!

And then after the movie, I went out the cinema and met up with some friends to have dinner. They were also watching the movie that night, only their tickets were for the last full show. And so while we were waiting for their time, I went with them to have dinner-- and was subsequently rescued by the benevolent Glenda because I didn't have cash. Hehe. I know, it was highly embarrassing; but they are old and dear friends so... Anyway, we had yummy food and big laughs. It was good to catch up with them because I missed spending time with those people.  After all the "eye dabbing" came the much needed laughter.  It was a great night.

J.K. Rowling, good food, and great friends. You certainly cannot beat that.

    Thanks for reading.

A blessed month... this one we call January

Many of my friends and some of my family were born this month. I do not exactly know if they were born on gloomy or sunlit days. But I do know this, my world has been made more beautiful because they were. More specifically, four of my most favorite people in the world were January babies. *Bella Dona* (10th) She is one of the wisest and kindest people I know. She has both been a staunch supporter and chastiser in my world. She transforms into one or the other from time to time, whichever I need the most at that time. And she is among the first to turn 31 in our batch this year. Hehehe! But never you mind, Don. 31 is just a number. What matters is that your heart is in the right place. Right? Right! :D *Lovely Lola Natang* (25th) She was my first ally ever since I came out and greeted the world with my annoying baby cries. She was the one who first took care of me when my Mama immediately went back to work after my natal day. And she was always the first to enthusiasticall...

The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick

If you're one of my cyber friends, you'd think I barely read these days because of the lack of book posts I've done lately. But actually, I'm still at it... at a much slower pace, albeit. But I'm still at it. I'm just so overwhelmed with other stuff that I barely have time to write for fun, which I think is quite sad. Downright depressing sometimes, I tell you! Anyways, the last book I've finished--that I could still remember--is The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick. I've had this book for years. You see, I collect books I think I want to read and just dump them in boxes whenever my bed becomes too crowded and start to smell like an old library. So I have tons of books I've had for years but never really read. Lately though, I've been rummaging inside the aforementioned boxes because people have been asking to borrow some of my books. And the nerd in me gets excited when I get to convince people to read... so rummaged the boxes, I did. And in ...

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this  was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :(   But the place was lovely.  We arrived at the resort around noon.  The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...
