3rd Sat of Dec

I was able to accomplished one page for today for our wedding album. Hirap pala magisip ng design for the pages. I can't call it scrapbooking because I felt like it was far from the beauty of what the real scrapbookers do :) More of a scrap if I may say so.

We went out nearly night time after the big baby's nap time. Went to Dhoby Gaut and watched "The Golden Compass". It was alright. Actually, I was planning to buy the trilogy book as some terms made no sense to me in the movie as they were'nt explained elaborately. Well, the truth is my comprehension is better in reading than watching it :). It's much better though if I've watched it and read it as it will give justification to where my imagination brought me. I like the part where in the parallel world, human souls take the form of animal companions called daemons. And maybe this is why critics were asking people not to patronize the movie. In my own opinion, they were just making the viewers more curious and end up watching it than not. That part of the story is the imagination of the writer and it's good. As it makes you venture out of the ordinary and usual stories. My take is DaVinci code movie is much worse than this one as this movie didn't mention anything blasphemous. Well, that's my take. And i think, if you're going to watch it with your kids, the important thing is, my guess as I don't have any kid of my own yet, to tell them apart which one should be taken in real life and which one should be left like one of the stories in the children's books they've read. In this world, I believe that every writer have the right to think of thousand ways to make each of their masterpiece different from the other and make it "interesting" for others to read. And I believe that we were born to have our own autonomy to deem what is right from wrong and what is real from fabrication. And no movie or book or person can make us change from what we've grown to believe in. =)

After the movie, I read my messages. I was so thrilled to received one from Itay Buru saying Inay Anik already gave birth! Yipee. We went to spotlight and bought the album for the pages i was doing hehehe.

We went to Que Pasa in somerset afterwards. It's been a long time since we last set foot here. On our way there, I was drooling on the thought of my favorite dish from their menu, beef stew with crunchy bread! And we were so devastated to know that beef stew have been off their list for two months now. So sad! =( When I asked why the girl why, she doesn't have any idea =( But we still did stay. Good thing pizza margherita's still on the menu. And it was the first time *i think*, i ordered chicken wings in Que Pasa. I was used to having it at the nearby ICB hehehe and gulped it down with a bottle of beer and not with a glass of wine. I had red and ffg had white. While finishing it all up, we still can't believe what happened to Mr. Beef stew. *sigh*

We reached home past midnight. I slept around 4 in the morning after I was done with the page I did for little Alexi.

pahabol: Mami s gave me this pretty pretty layout she did for me. Emote ako :( Miss ko tuloy lalo family ko hehe pero at least I have something that will remind me we had a lot of those good times and this is one of them. Tenchu po sobra mareng mami s! Tenchu din inaanak andi for the gift :) Sa christmas pa namin open hihihi.

Music and Me

You know how music affects your life that sometimes it doesn't help at all when you're feeling low and downright miserable hearing these melo-dramatic love songs? Makes you more insane isn't it? I guess this is one of the many reasons why music evolve from mellow and rock to many different genres like rnb, alternative, alternative rock, etc. Anyway, I just thought about this. I am not feeling miserable at the moment but upon hearing this one song, it almost made me cry for no reason. :( Yes, I've listened to it many times, cried with it but everytime I listen to it, it made me really sad. And believe me, at first it had nothing to do with the lyrics but as minutes passed by, word for word it's coming back to me now. It brought me back to that pain, to that sadness and to that longingness that I don't want to ever feel again but things like these are inevitable in life. Then I thought of some of my friends who are struggling to get out of it now. And this is me confessing. When I'm there listening and talking like everything will be alright and there were bigger things in life to think about than this, I wasn't trying to make it not a big deal and make you feel like it was just a small thing. It is a big thing! And believe me, you're far stronger than I was. You're much better holding it all. And when I talk and act like I'm as strong as a steel, I was only trying to be so you could lean on me. When I said, I've been there so you gotta listen to me, I dont mean it's so easy to get out just because I found my way out. People experience pain on different degree. So what one went through will always be different from another. current mood: sentimental

On MC

I called in sick at work today. I spent almost the whole day sleeping to make the pain go away. I was feeling ok when I woke up and ate my late lunch so as not to trigger my ulcer that could also trigger my dysmynorrhea. I just watched movie on HBO and couldn't even do one page of our wedding album. I gained a bit of strength at around 6pm so I decided to clean the room a bit and started finishing 3 pages of our album. Took a bath and soon as I finished, ffg came home from work. Time really was fast when you're just staying at home. Sleeping alone could eat up your whole day. Well at least, I've managed to finished 3 pages. Few more to go! Hope it will all be ready before the new year comes :)
