Just got home after having a nice evening with my good friend Claire. We were supposed to watch a movie, as a friend of mine gave me two (2) free passes. I had my eyes set on watching Katy Perry:Part Of Me. And yes, I was being serious. Anyway, as it turns out, the tickets are only good for cinema 6, in which Total Recall was playing. That would've been a good choice, except that I have already seen it the previous week (also with Claire). So we ended up just walking around the mall, talking and updating each other with what's been going on. We had Happy Lemon, and I introduced her to the rock salt and cheese drinks. She had the green tea version while I had cocoa (of course!). She managed to squeeze in a bit of shopping, too.
So, for dinner we both decided we wanted something light and not too expensive. I suggested that we find a place that sells good wine and tapas. We went to Barcino, but we found it to be a bit pricey. We went around and checked a couple more restos. No such luck. And then I said, we should try this deli called Santi's since they have cheeses, cold cuts, and of course, wine. So off we went. And what a good decision that was! We were so happy just looking at the cheeses. God if they weren't so expensive, I'd buy them all!!!
We ended up having four different kinds of cheese, ham, salami, salted sticks, white wine, and most importantly, a great time! We talked about a lot of things, from the wonderful things we learned in our previous company, to relationship with friends, and even traveling. It is so comforting to have a great friend like her. I just wish so many good things for her, she really deserves them! Best part is, we didn't spend a lot, plus she managed to take home the cheeses and the cold cuts!
So off to bed I go with a good feeling. JC, thank you so much for the blessings You gave me. I am really grateful.

Wow, I haven't blogged for the longest time! #fail Hopefully that will change. And I think it will,along with other changes coming along real soon.
For starters, I got a new job! Come Monday, August 6, I will be working for a new company. It's a multinational company providing travel and expense management solutions. I don't want to divulge more details right now - for some reason, I feel that it isn't "official" until after I actually start reporting to work. Weird, I know. After all, I did sign the contract on Monday (July 30). Anyway, one of the best things about my new job is that I work during the day! That's right - I'm "normal" again! Wow, it has been years since I had a dayshift job. Hello rush hour traffic! LOL
Been watching a lot of movies lately - from Cinemalaya (watched only two movies, bummer!!) to Hollywood summer blockbusters. The last one was kinda different - it was a local film by Chito Roño, one of the country's good directors. The film is called The Healing. Apparently it had two versions - the standard R-13 version, and the R-18 version. I wanted to watch the latter as apparently it is a lot more gruesome, with guts and blood spilling and stuff. Macabre!!! However, Alabang Town Center only has the R-13 version during that time. The film was good - it gives you a "healthy" dose of scares. However, they could've used better effects, especially when the former patients start going into a murderous streak. I don't want to go into much details for fear of a spoiler. I suggest you watch it and take a break from all the Hollywood flicks, at least for this instance. Let's show our support to the local movie industry! #makabayan
This crazy weather we've been having these past couple of weeks is causing a lot of people to get sick - myself included! Friday last week I got really sick, whilst stuck in Makati early evening traffic! Then by Monday I felt better. That was when I had the contract signing. After a couple of days I lost my voice! I have a cough too, but it's the kind where the phlegm does not want to come out! Dry cough, I think is what the commercials call it. Sigh. I have been taking an expectorant these last two days. For the most part I think it's working. But I haven't exactly been a very good patient either - still drinking sweets at times and/or cold beverages. #fail I hope I recover ASAP - I don't want to come to work on Monday with no voice!
