Long time no blog: Recap

What have I been up to lately?

OCTOBER

Singapore Trip - visited Bes and took a vacation from work, its a late birthday gift from myself

Choices Caravan - it is my current project at work, for one week i went home in the wee hours of the morning, not really regretful about this project, its one of the things that i am enjoying my stay @ SYKES

Halloween Parties - i was suppose to blog about "The tale of the two parties" but i havent had time to do that. It was supposedly about the two halloween parties i attended at one night, Oct 31. The first one was the Clear black Party and the second one is US Girls Sexy black party. So fun! Enjoyed every minute of it

NOVEMBER

Acute gastroenteritis - i was diagnosed with this sickness, or whatever you call it for 4 days. It was the first time that i have been hospitalized (since i was born) I never had any major operation or surgery before, that is all by God's grace.

Choco Buffet - i had been careful with what i eat after i was hospitalized. But my love for chocolates did not stop me from going to Manila Peninsula and indulging into their very reserved choco buffet. It was indeed and very sweet evening.

Gary V live @ 25 - I have to admit, im a fan of Gary V. I have watched several shows he staged and i enjoyed every songs and the crowd too. I was with the Worship Team minus major plus archie and badik at araneta and we were singing out hearts out in the different song arrangements that Gary prepared for us

Libis Team @ Eco park - It was indeed a break for the team. It was like we were given one day of relaxation and it was much like a field trip especially for the oldies, (hehe) the nature, God's creation, the air we breath, all are signs of God's blessing and love for us

*so far so good, i think i've covered pretty much what had been the highlights of my second and third Ber months. Til next time

Another TAG

Igitot, dahil tinag mo ako dapat kahit isa dito ibigay mo. Haha!

So i have to list down my Christmas must haves. On my case, my Christmas List

Long Hair

As i was cleaning up some pics in my album, i came across this picture and was very surprise that i have grown my hair so long as this one. Im kinda missing my long hair now.

Dear Hair,

I miss you. Please grow fast. I love how you look right now but i would love it even more if you were more longer. Thank you.

CathiE

Cinderelly

I grew up loving Cinderella. I remember we have a betamax of every Disney Princess story when i was a child. And we would watch it every weekend (seriously, that never fails). I know the songs and scripts by heart

Last night I was able to watch the $2M musical production. It was so great. Lea's flawless voice was always topped with an applause everytime she would end her song. I think it is my first time to watch her live. (yeah, loser me)

I love the musical play. How they sing, they dance, they act, their every move, their everything! It was quite nostalgic as i remember college, when we were preparing for our dramafest. The efforts were very high but it was all worth it after the fest, after the applaud

There are some things though that i was looking forward to that i didnt see. One would be Cinderelly's opening song ( A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true. ) The song is just so nice. But surpriseingly, i know most of the songs and so there are times that i would sing along then i would just feel a hand on my mouth to stop me for such crime. (thanks friend, for saving me from shame) Then they replaced her step sisters name, from Anastacia and Drizella it was Joy and Portia. It still fits their character though.

The lighting was very great too, very playful and goes along very well with the music. The orchestra below is plays so great too. The acting isnt that bad, they made it very funny even the scripts.

We were seated at Balcony II, front row and before the play started i was peeking down below and checking how many seats are still vacant and instead of looking at vacant seats i fixed my eyes on some guest that have just arrived. Theyr so beautiful and they are stunningly fashionable, theyr about 3-5 years of age and accompanied by their moms. I saw about 3 kids who dress like Cinderella with tiaras and wands and glitter. They are so cute, i wish i could have worn something like that :) During the play i was concern coz they were a couple of kissing scene from Cinderella and Prince Christopher that wowed they crowd (or should i say cheesed the crowd, is there such a term?) I guess their moms covered their eyes, haha!

The play was very funny and magical in a way. They did a good job in making the pumpkin the grand carriage, the mice into people horses that dance very well, the two mouse friend of Cinderella into the coach man and the foot man. I especially love the spectacular stage designs on each scenes and the fabulous wardrobes of the people at ball. ( i really wish to be invited in a ball)

The play ended as expected, the shoe fit Cinderella's foot and the Prince married her. I find the play not exclusive to young people but also to those that are young at heart and those who wish and have faith in what they wish for.. the impossible thing.. that happens everyday

Delayed Text Messages

Is it just me or the network is being affected by the bagyo?

Surprisingly i didnt receive any text messages kaninang umaga (i feel so frustrated kasi may iniintay pa naman akong text message ) and i just found out kaninang hapon na delayed nga ang mga messages ng GLOBE. ( I dont know with the other networks).

The style is you have to turn off your phone then pag ON niya saka mo lang marereceive yung mga messages (na late ng 6 hours!!!)

Haay.so much for my rant.

Goodnight Text World.
