2009.06.18 A music box

The first time I saw a music box was in Singapore. Instantly, I was amused by it. I even thought of selling these as a business (seriously, to that point that I already found a vendor). Back to the story. This actually isn't mine, I borrowed it. Why? Partly to see the person, partly to show it when I surprise another person, partly just to keep myself busy, and partly just to play with it. Whatever the reason, this thing is, plain and simple, amusing... it's exquisite yet fun.

Just for fun, whoever can guess what song it plays gets a treat from me. (No, you're not allowed to guess!)

2009.06.17 Who says you can't stare at the sun?

On my way to the office, I got a little stuck in traffic along Coronado ave. (near the Makati-Mandaluyong bridge). While the car was still, I suddenly noticed the sky.. it was uncharacteristically bright! I wanted to stare at the sun (a sight that seems so rare nowadays). But it was TOO bright. So what else was I suppose to do? Use the tinted rain gutter of course! ;)

For reference, here's a picture of the sun without any "filters"

2009.06.16 The shoes that started it all

Who would have thought that a pair of waterproof (still wet) Rockport shoes would inspire me to blog again?!

It was pouring hard, hesitantly I left the office. I had an umbrella to shelter me from the rain.. or so I thought! While I was walking along Makati ave. heading towards the A. Venue parking lot, I realized that my umbrella was useless. I got wet, and so did my shoes. Then I thought, "I'll take a picture of this when I get into the car and probably tell this story to Marj". It was a long walk, so eventually "tell a story" became "blog about it". And here it is.

Got into the car, took off my shoes, took pictures of it, and drove barefoot.


For the record, not one drop of water reached my socks. I love those pair of shoes.

2009.06.15 The lost moth

I hate Mondays, especially THIS Monday. It was a pretty gloomy day with what has transpired; plus the non-stop drizzle didn't help. But right when I was about to go home, something interesting happened: I saw a moth inside the elevator! How it got there? I have no idea. So don't ask.

2009.06.13 It's time

I couldn't sleep the entire night, thoughts filled my head. When I decided to get up from bed, questions still lingered in my mind. I went down, first thing I saw was the newspaper, laying on top of the dining table. The headline read, "Time to say goodbye".

...interesting.

Hello World

Testing this out. :) This is to describe the supposedly interesting picture above. blah-blah-blah
