So tired, but happy! ^_^

Whew what a tiring day it has been. I think it’s the hot weather that made me weak and exhausted. I had to take a short nap in the van after dropping off mom for her late afternoon meeting. Dad and I went to the mall supposedly to shop for grocery items but I told him I want to rest a bit in the parking area as I was yawning a lot that time. Well, I guess it’s really true that the sun’s heat can drain the energy out of even the most energetic person.

Reunion with the guitar

Wow I can’t believe it, I finally did something I should have done long long time ago. I’m not sure if it’s been more or less than a decade since I last played the guitar, but after listening to Brooke Fraser’s You’ll Come (it’s one of the songs included in Hillsong United’s With Hearts As One and Hillsong’s This Is Our God albums), I can’t help but search for the lyrics and chords, and ended up looking for my guitar as well. So, off I went to the small room upstairs, took one of the guitars, wiped off the dust, and played until my fingers hurt.

What a shame!

Yesterday at a mall restroom I overheard the sales ladies talking about another shoplifter caught in the act. Uh-oh. The culprit thought he (or she) could get away with it, hiding some grocery items without going through the barcode scanner. I dunno what the stolen items were but one thing’s for sure, it was such a shameful act and I bet the shoplifter didn’t have any face to show to the public after being caught. 

Back from Dumaguete

Finally we’re home from our Dumaguete trip and yes… lots of unfinished tasks to tackle again. I can’t say it was a relaxing trip as we were busy touring around the city, trying to visit as many tourist attractions as we can. The only time we had some relaxing moments was when we sat by one of the benches at Rizal Boulevard on Tuesday evening after we had a sumptuous dinner and I almost fell asleep while listening to the waves crashing by the seawall. But it was only for few minutes as I had to get up and take some photos of the scene around.

I’m doing online research on music videos and digicams, what about you?

While others may be doing a lot of job search on the net these days, after the month of March where lots of new graduates are seeking career opportunities, I’m currently browsing over, whew, guess what, Hillsong United! Yup I can’t help from searching for their latest live recordings on YouTube especially their song Tear Down The Walls which I really really like.

Aside from that, I’m also doing an online research on the ultimate Canon compact camera for me, something that’s in between a DSLR and a point-and-shoot cam. I want manual focus and higher zoom capabilities. I’m having 3 options, the Canon SX20 IS (my first choice) at Php29950, the Canon SX120 IS at Php18950 and the Canon SX200 IS at Php22950. Budget and availability of the model will be the deciding factor…but with the upcoming Dumaguete trip, I really pray I could get one today. 

Are you addicted to Facebook games?

I recently joined Facebook and still hesitant to engage in its offering of various games and applications. I’m just curious though when the statuses of my friends would show up their game levels and their activities on Farmville, Fishville, Petville, Café World, Treasure Isle, Farm Town, Zoo World, Pet Society, Castle Age, and many other games.

Keeping your face young and healthy

One time, my little niece played with her mommy’s moisturizer. She was smiling mischievously, her face smeared with the white face cream as captured on photo by my sis and posted on Facebook. I bet she enjoyed it, not knowing of course what the cream was for. I wonder what she would be doing to her face when the right time comes for her to be responsible for it.

Few weeks ago, I tried to maintain a tedious beauty routine of applying toner and various facial creams to clean and moisturize my face. But when my schedule became too busy, I really couldn’t maintain it as I used to. So these days, it’s just facial toner before going to sleep and washing my face with beauty soap during the day.

Dumaguete trip

Aside from catching up on tasks, I’m also sneaking in few minutes doing research on the “City of Gentle People”, Dumaguete, the capital city of Negros Oriental located in the southeast of Negros. Our community has an upcoming prayer rally there and we are set to go there with Dad driving the van for about 5 hours travel time. God-willing, we plan to have a two day tour of the city after the event to maximize our trip going there. I’m still reading up on Dumaguete travel guides to have an idea of must-see tourist attractions, where to dine and things to do.
