Puss in Boots
(Writing this at Food Choices while waiting for my movie to start.)
Woke up with back pain. First time that I experienced pain while trying to stand up and even walk. I do experience back pain but it is tolerable. Last Thursday, went to our office's clinic and the doctor changed the medicine I take for my back pain. She prescribed a stronger medicine because my back pain is accompanied by headache. From Methycobal to Arcoxia. For my tender breasts which I've been experiencing for two weeks now, she changed my vitamin E from Myra to Zyme or Squibb. Seems effective since there's less discomfort now. Maybe, the turmeric in my diet also helped.
She also asked to have my eyes checked. Good thing already scheduled to have one that day, too.
It took sometime but the pain is almost gone that I can have my weekly dose of movie.
(At home...)Before
Puss in Boots met Shrek, a hero who became an outlaw sets off for an adventure which he and his childhood friend, Humpty Dumpty, has been dreaming of. As expected, the movie mashes up different fairy tales and nursery rhymes character--Jack and Jill, Jack and the Beanstalk. Witty and charming.
Attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Super Bowl.
Winnie the Pooh
Fourth of the five-day mandatory leave. Decided to go to the mall and watch a movie. My checlist:
1) Load wallet for LoadXtreme (make a depoisit).
2) Watch
Winnie the Pooh
From the creation of A.A. Milne, the movie offers timeless charm and wit. If only life is that simple. (smiles) Hungry Winnie the Pooh, in search for food, led him to a series of adventures (and misadventures). What is touching (although not surprising) is when Winnie the Pooh put his friend Eeyore first than his growling stomach.
3) Bought a small fan for my desktop (as the current one am using is no longer working).
4) Groceries
5) Anti-cancer juice
At Cabalen
Today, I would be treating my people for lunch at
Cabalen. It's an eat-all-you-can buffet. Definitely, full. (Burp!)
After, decided to buy another router. I don't think I can take the slow speed. Hayyy... Thus, bought a
Netgear N300 Wireless Router. Now, it met my expectation. Yey!
If anyone wishes to buy an almost new Belkin router, just leave a message. Thanks!
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante
My small
Linksys router (forgot the model but 4 inches x 4 inches x 1 inch in size) breathed its last. Thus, decided to buy a new one after my belated birthday treat/lunch to my friends at
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante in
Glorietta. Had fun with their company. Got me a
Royce chocolates as gift. Thanks!
I like Linksys and would have bought one. The Linksys router I bought for my brother which is about 5+ years ago is still alive and kicking. And it's open 24x7. But I am looking for a router with a small footprint. Thus, it's either the same size or it has to be standing.
Thus, bought me a
Belkin N300 Wireless N Router. Definitely fast if connecting via wifi. But through LAN, it's half the speed of my DSL!!! Odd because LAN speed should be faster. (sad)
Dream House
My movie for the week is
Dream House. Great cast. The movie started with a successful publisher relocating with his family to a little quaint house, only to learn that their new house has a dark history. The movie started with the twist, ending with the truth. From the trailers, you can already come deduce the story.
After, attended the anticipated Mass. Then treated my friends at
Chili's for a belated birthday treat. Of course, always in the menu would be classic nachos. (wink)
Yesterday, treated a friend for lunch at
Krazy Garlik. Thanks for my new photography book! c",)
My Day!
1) Salon for my hair-pampering day.
2) Greenbelt Chapel
Thanked Him for the grace He has bestowed on me and my family.
3) Buy take-out from
Emerald Garden Restaurant.
4) Celebrate!
Thanks to my family and friends who were with me today and to those who remembered... c",)
Photoshop Number
Attended our office's camera club workshop on Photoshop Fundamentals. It is a half-day activity.
After, was dropped off at
Glorietta, had lunch at
Food Choices and watched
What's Your Number?. A woman unlucky in love asks the help of her neighbor to go find her 20 ex-boyfriends in hope to rekindle the relationship, thinking her relationship history would prevent her from finding her true love. A comedy, romance film which the lead characters (Anna Farris and Chris Evans) makes the movie watchable and funny.
Then, attended the anticipated Mass.
The Sorcerer and The White Snake
Today is my camera club's monthly. Those whose birthday falls in that month brings food for the meeting as treat. Ordered
pancit malabon for the meeting and for the house because it is my niece's birthday. Also bought
pichi-pichi for the house.
Don't feel like staying at the meeting (the weather is gloomy and I know it would be hard for me to take a ride home when it's raining). Thus, left and proceeded to
Glorietta after dropping off the
pancit malabon and my photo entry for "Seeing Double".
Had my second movie for this weekend.
The Sorcerer and The White Snake is a fantasy, action movie about a sorcerer-monk faces the sister snake demons as he tries to uphold the law that prohibits humans and demons from having relations. The movie tries to adapt the original Chinese films on supernatural action. Although there are action, the movie also presents true love.
Photowalk Hanna
Today is the scheduled photowalk at the
Quezon Memorial Circle with the
Tilak Hettige as the photowalk leader. Woke up at 4AM to prepare for the walk. Would pick-up Tilak around 5:30AM before proceeding the The Circle.
Meeting place is at the
Bacolod Chicken Inasal (near East Avenue gate) from 6:00AM to 6:30AM for the registration. Inspite of the threats of Typhoon Quiel (Nalgae), many photowalkers arrived. We would be having our brunch at Bacolod Chicken Inasal after the photowalk.
I would say, the Quezon Memorial Circle, Philippines leg of the
Scott Kelby's 4th Annual Worldwide Photowalk is a success.
Here are some of the photos of the walk.
Dropped off Tilak at his house then proceeded to the wake of the mother of my friend and former officemate from Philippine Airlines (PAL). Afterwhich, went to the office to pick-up my keys and lock my cabinet (forgot it yesterday) then have the driver drop me off at
Glorietta.
Since there is still time, decided to watch a movie.
Hanna is an action, thriller movie about a teenage girl raised from birth in an icy, harsh environment to be an assassin. The film opens with the girl taking out a deer with a bow and arrow. One can wonder how she can be so unfeeling. Although there's lots of action (and definitely there is), I liked the part where the film explored how the girl felt the isolation as she tries to understand the world as she accomplishes her "mission".
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante.
