Just in time for Halloween

Having two days off is quite a treat for me these days 'coz it's not every day you're forced to stay at home and rest, especially when you're just new to the job. Well, you have to somehow impress the boss, right? So they'd think you're worth keeping, so to speak.

So what did I do during the first two non-working days of November? I washed "some" of my laundry (because I have more than a heap and I don't have enough space to hang them all to dry), and I binged on TV. Yes! I watched the tube almost non-stop. Haha. On top of that, I just discovered two new very enchanting shows; Grimm and Once Upon a Time... and I was as giddy as a little girl waiting for her parents to get home with a tub of yummy chocolate ice cream.

Grimm is about a cop who turns out to be a descendant of supernatural profilers... people who catalogued supernatural creatures and hunted those that are dangerous, sort of like peacekeepers between humans and supernatural creatures. The pilot episode was awesomely exciting. I actually jumped out of my skin a couple of times. :D

Now, Once Upon a Time is more storybook charming than Grimm and actually more enchanting. It's about a town in Maine called Storybrooke where the residents are amnesiac fairytale characters who were banished to our world by Snow White's Evil Queen. Only two episodes are out so far, but I can already see this is going to be one of those charmingly cute epic stories I would adore. Plus, I love Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison... such lovely and talented ladies, these two. :D

Blessed be, everyone!

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...
