2 Comments »Where’s the Universe? a panel interview by Mia
December 30th, 2009 Iris in one of our nightly before-bed conversations where i, the toddler-intellect challenged mommy, attempted to defend my thesis on the whereabouts of the universe: M: where’s the house? me: in Quezon City. M: where’s Quezon City? me: in Manila M: where’s Manila? me: in the Philippines M: where’s the Philippines? me: in Southeast Asia…. (i [...]
Waterfront beach resort: how not to be a good manager
December 29th, 2009 Iris the customer is always right. well at least you try to placate them or please them if need be. ibang usapan na yun if the customer himself is rude, right? anyway, I was in charge of looking for a family outing venue for new year’s and one of the resorts I contacted was The Waterfront [...]
Oh Spinach!
December 29th, 2009 Iris i love you, i love you, i love you! one of the joys in life is spinach dip. especially when you start from scratch and actually end up getting the taste that you’ve wanted. i’d have to say credits go to Nestle’s recipes online. hehe. and Mia actually likes it! not to mention my brothers [...]
the year that was
December 28th, 2009 Iris busy, busy, busy. year ends and holidays are always packed with so much things to do. — my 2009 wasn’t all that good, nope it wasn’t. but there are even more things to be thankful for. — so many deaths, so little redemption. may justice be served. — i’ve made some progress with my hobby. [...]
World peace, bow [LP]
December 23rd, 2009 Iris ang regalo na gusto kong matanggap mula kay God ay simple lang. mas magandang kinabukasan at buhay para kay Mia. as for all the children in the world who cannot have it on their own. ikaw anong regalo gusto mo matanggap bukas? happy holidays, everyone! — Litratong Pinoy theme this week: Regalo (gift) EDSA Shangri-la [...]
Fireflies
December 21st, 2009 Iris my brother and i were LSS-ing on Fireflies by Owl City the other day. we weren’t sure which category to put it under; there’s emo-i’ll-kill-myself-after category, the artsy-fartsy-it’s-actually-cool list, and the i-think-it’s-an-environmental-song-so-let’s-plug-it kind. (or it’s the it’s-so-pop-my-ears-bleed-for-the-nth-time-it’s-played-on-the-radio list). hmm. anyway, here’s the music video of that. it’s rather cool because of the old school treatment. [...]
Need for speedtest
December 19th, 2009 Iris this nifty site, Speedtest.net, that tests your internet connection’s download and upload speed amuses me. for an tech-impatient person like me, there’s nothing like an official tech-o-meter that reassures you that downloading Snowpatrol’s new single will only take 1 minute. that’s SmartBro (prepaid lang nga) for you. just average. hmm. but i’m surfing just fine, [...]
A guide to getting lost
December 17th, 2009 Iris when you read a Neil Gaiman novel, or graphic novel, or short story, or whatever, prepare to get lost. delightfully lost, that is. you can never tell which world you’re going to end up in, once you take that plunge in the first page. and when i was asked by a ‘Gaiman virgin’* if he [...]
Twinkle twinkle, big tree [LP]
December 16th, 2009 Iris paskong pinoy para sa akin: lights, trees, sparkles, among so many other things. na hindi mawawala sa mga dekorasyon sa bahay. yun nga lang, paunti ng paunti ang naglalagay ng mga ganyan ngayon. – natuwa ako sa mga effects ng Photoscape, kaya ayan. =) (post edit: aging effect lang ang naidagdag sa photo na ito).
