The Creative Side

I went to work on my off-day to witness one of the annual holiday events at work. What was posted all around the hallways? The poster that I made for the event! Who needs a professional graphic arts designer when you got me around? HeHe. I was beaming with pride to say the least. =D

CPK Style



I finally made the pilgrimage to the one and only CPK in Seattle! Prior to this visit, the only CPK branch I've been to was the Tomas Morato one (where Robin Padilla was stalking me. HeHe). Why does the Philippines have more American-based restaurants than Seattle? HaHa.



I want my future apartment to have the same ambiance as CPK. It's so nice and cozy!



I have sinned yet again: tiramisu. You know you're not a poor college student anymore when you can afford to have dessert after your meal at a restaurant. ;P Ang saya-saya!

WONDERful

I seriously think that no CD collection should go without Stevie Wonder's The Definitive Collection CD. It's so awesome! If you're an 80s kid, I think it's a must have.

Some random thoughts:
Overjoyed - On heavy rotation right now. It's my "let me make this Christmas the coldest ever" song. =P

For Once In My Life - Waiting for the day I can relate to this song. HaHa

My Cherie Amour - Just one of the songs that reminds me of JC Chasez; he sang this song on MMC back in the day ::memories::

Signed, Sealed Delivered - Makes me want to do the "Carlton Dance" each time I hear this. HeHe

I Just Called To Say I Love You - It's been awhile since someone has done such a thing to me *parinig* HaHa.

Diploma Arrival Date

I got my diploma in the mail today. Now I know why someone would spend like $180 on a diploma frame: the diploma itself looks horribly plain and cheap. It looks like anyone could've printed it on his/her computer. If you ask me, the Annual Dean's List certificate that I got earlier in the summer looks much better than this diploma. Why the hell am I talking smack about my diploma?! HaHa. It's just that my parents' diplomas are much bigger and look more official than my little dinky UW one. Tsk. Tsk. After six months, I kinda want to cash the check my brother gave me as a graduation gift; I want to use it to buy a diploma frame. HeHe.

Now that I have my diploma in my possession, I think it's time for me to take down this little thing hanging in my room: it's a stuffed doll, dressed in a cap and gown, holding a diploma in one hand, while sitting on a moon. It's been there for at least ten years to remind me of my goal. Now, the goal is now a reality. I would love to give it to my eldest nephew, but he's a boy and I don't think he would want a stuffed doll hanging in his room. He might disown me if I insisted. HeHe.

On a more surprising note, my mom, out of the blue, said to me, "If you want to go to the Philippines in August, go. Don't worry about the conflict with your cousin's wedding." I can't believe that my mom was actually volunteering the thought of me taking a plane to the Philippines! How crazy is that! I didn't bring up the topic; she did. So I'm guessing that she's sensing my sadness over not being in the Philippines this Christmas. Halata ba talaga? I mean, I know I refused to put up any of the Christmas decors around the house this year, but I didn't think that the reason was that obvious. LoL. So I'm guessing that this is why my relatives are trying to set me up with any human being with a male organ...because they think that I'm sad, therefore the solution is to add a boy into the equation. Puh-lease! How many times do I have to say that my happiness is not dependent upon having a significant other?! Okay...maybe 40%, but that leaves a bigger 60% on other things, right? Hence, I simply need the 60% and I'll be fine. *coughsomeoneisindenial*cough

Christian = Chinese Food

It's December already?! Time is flying by way too fast. For someone who isn't doing much these days, I'm quite surprised that I'm feeling this way.

Anyway, you know how Nanette Inventor makes these weird comparisons of the contestants in Star In A Million? Okay, maybe I'm the only one who knows since I have a feeling that I'm the only one who watches this show...at least the only one who would admit it so openly. HeHe. If I were in her shoes, my simile would be like this: Si Christian Bautista parang Chinese food: gusto kong i-take-out at i-uwi. ;P
