There Are No Chance Encounters

I met a very wise person today who assured me that all will be well. Strange as it may sound, it sounded very true and very peaceful. The weirder part being, he wasn't the person I was scheduled to see today. It was supposed to be someone else who had an emergency to take care of. God sends us guardian angels everyday in many faces. Thank you God, for today. :)

I'm White Chocolate

Which type of chocolate are you? :)

You are White Chocolate
You have a strong feminine side with a good bit of innocence thrown in.
Whether your girlish ways are an act or not, men like to take care of you.
You are an understated beauty, and your power is often underestimated!

From my only sister Fran :)

Comment here and...
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.

6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. If I do this, you must post this in your journal.

"Can't You Control Your Dog!"

While we were trying to catch Cosi-cosi (our female JRT), who ran away again, a boy about 9 years old carrying a small poodle in his arms approached me and Lupo (the son of Cosi-Cosi). I only noticed the kid when Lupo tried to jump near the poodle and so I pulled his leash. Lupo was about two feet away from the kid when I got to pull Lupo back.

I greeted the kid with a warm hello. Looking a bit scared at how Lupo was trying to jump after his poodle, the kid answered, "Hey, can't you control your dog?" He repeated it again with this slang american accent which sounded more like an acusation than a question. I ignored him and went back trying to call Cosi-Cosi. Still the kid hovering around us said, "You can't control your dog! This one is still a baby you know!" I didn't like the tone the kid was using so I answered, "Lupo has a leash, and if you are still scared then why don't you leave?"

The kid frowned as he turned away from us, mumbling these words, "I was just trying to see it."

Via's Birthday Weekend







Happy Birthday to my one and only. :) This weekend was very eventful. We started Via's birthday early because we attended Jolet's wedding at 8am, after which we headed to Mall of Asia (MOA) with carlo and bernz. Then we proceeded to check in for an overnight stay at the Diamond Hotel in Manila. We had dinner with our family that night at Grappa's at the Harbor Square, by manila bay. The next day we checked out and had a well prepared seafood lunch at Via's old house in paranaque... whew. We then had dinner at greenbelt 3 after the family watched Inside Man. Today we had lunch with Via's family again at San Jacinto Panciteria welcoming Tovi back from his trip.

blauorange minor update

After much agony Via's Blauorange business site gets somewhat of an update.

Won movie tickets

During heavy traffic last friday, I decided to join a "text-in" promo of the radio station I was listening to Klite 103.5. The question was whether Denzel Washington won a golden globe for his acting on Training Day. The prize was free movie tickets to the advanced screening of Inside Man, starring Clive Owen, Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster.

It was the first time I won a radio promo, but not the first time I joined. I picked up the prize on my way to work. And the nice lady attendant gave me extra tickets to the advanced screening of The Lake House as well.

Via and I watched Inside Man and we both reccommend it. It was interesting how Spike Lee's storytelling style is unlike traditional blockbuster movies. Go and watch it. :)
