Camotes, day 1

the view from Santiago beach resort. white-sand gulf. cliffs everywhere. aquarium fishes swimming nearby. i'm so glad i'm not at the office.

Desk stuff

this is the first picture I sent directly from my phone. wowza!

dea has left the building

bye, dea! now only three OCD warla-types remain.

Happy Wedding, Mari

that's right, kids. our Mari is now Mrs. Tapere!



i wasn't there but banne took these pictures of the happy couple. i can't believe Mari looks just about the same pretty girl i used to talk with in high school. of course there's something so -- hmm -- official about the wedding gown.



I don't know the hubby well enough, but i'm sure he's a good guy. you know how it is when you start thinking about who your friends might end up with? i have this idea about who Mari would end up with and i'm sure Alby is all that and more.



God bless you, Mar! have a fun married life.

spidey rides an FX to megamall

if you get to be FX upholstery, then you know you have become part of Pinoy pop culture.



i got to ride this Pasig-Megamall FX yesterday on my way to work and i felt i was walking into a play pen. riding in the back made me feel like a baby in a crib - all around me spidey in various degrees of contortions.

on sick leave

i got time off work today. i've been feeling feverish and drowsy. my head alternates from feeling heavy and light.

not really a fan of bed rest, i marched to mega and looked for a good book. i just got some Powerbooks GC's courtesy of mr lee (company birthday gift) last week so splurging didn't make me feel too guilty.

the girlfriend had me looking for Letters to a Young Poet by one Rilke but Powerbooks doesn't have it. so i settled for The Narnian, a biography of CS Lewis. i think it's perfect because i've always wanted a new Christian book to read but i honestly couldn't stand the daily devotionals that pass for Christian Lit these days. (if you've read some real good ones tho, do tell me).

on the way home, i stopped for the nutty oats drink from Fruit Magic. the sales lady misunderstood me and got in an extra scoop of whey designer protein powder in the drink. i don't know if this will suddenly transform me into the hulk any time soon.

good book, good drink. i'm feeling healthy already.
