Of a very long week

Monday: Stalking Ebe at 70′s Bistro

Well, I wasn’t really stalking Ebe, but Markku was joking me that I was.

We have planned weeks earlier to watch Sugarfree and Sandwich play at the 70′s bistro in Anonas. I was looking forward to it as I love Sugarfree so much…and Sandwich rin naman (well, basta I love OPM) and I missed watching gigs at 70′s bistro (one of the places where my pangga and I had our first few dates, yikee! haha =P).

Well, as usual, we were late. But this time, it was half my fault. =P When we arrived, Sugarfree was into their 4th song (I think). Mimi and Karl, Bong and Myra, Jason and his wife were already there. We went to sit beside Jaemark and Jem. Ebe was not in his best condition, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, kahit medyo bitin.

Sandwich played after Sugarfree. After playing some of their new songs, they started taking requests from the audience. With Raymund Marasigan on the guitar and the keyboards, the band played a lot of ‘old’ feel good songs like Melt with You, Wishing Wells and Pare Ko by the Eraserheads, and some that I can’t really remember (hindi ko kasi generation =p). Raymund was amazing since most of the songs were unpracticed and he played them on-the-spot just knowing some of the chords, and occasionally the adlibs and riffs. Basta jamming talaga!

Personally, I like the ambience in 70′s bistro. Parang less ang psychological barrier between the artists and the crowd.Kaya dapat bumalik kami ulit! Next time, I’d like to catch Johnoy and Kakoy, another great duo.

***I bought Jayvee’s 350D! So I now have my own cam! =) I’m actually excited, I want to learn fast and take lots of great pictures like my pangga and my bossings do. ; )

Tuesday: Window sunsets and colored bottles

After the heavy rains in the afternoon, we caught a beautiful sunset outside our office window.

Archie, Kris and I then went to Pacio’s afterwards for dinner. Kris, being the niece of the owner, was kind enough to rearrange the beautiful colored bottles on the counter for me to practice my shots on.

Wednesday: Wedding Essentials Thanksgiving Party

Went with my pangga. I stayed mostly sa Cliquebooth area, dun ako nag-enjoy e.

While we were packing up, Markku, Dax and I tried Cliquebooth jump shots. Ang hirap pala. =P

Thursday: Dinner at Pacio’s

I thought I’d be going home early but Markku went to pick me up at the office. We then had dinner at Pacio’s. Second time this week for me, Kris and Archie.

Friday: Lamierda at Circle C

Finally went home early, but went on a side trip to Circle C before going home. Practiced some shots at home. Can’t resist taking a picture of Soriano asleep on the table.

Saturday: Gaby’s Christening, iBlog4, UP Food trip

It was Tere and Gilbert’s daugther Gaby’s christening that morning. We had to wake up early to be in church at 10am, but we were late. Good thing the christening hasn’t started yet. Had a great time being there and seeing cute baby Gaby and her happy relatives. We also got to catch up with the latest happenings with our SVI friends. And I found out that Gilbert and Tere were an M+K couple, I didn’t know that.

Oh, and we think Gaby wants to be a photographer. =)

After the reception, we went to SM afterwards so I could run an errand for my mom. I was supposed to go home afterwards but Markku got me to join him to meet some friends at the iBlog 4 event in UP.

After the event, we went to accompany some Davao bloggers to taste the famous UP isaw (though, both Markku and I are not to sure if this is the one that’s famous).

We also had dirty ice cream while waiting for our isaw to get cooked.

After this photo, we went to Maginhawa St. to sample the delicious Burritos sold at a store there. After that Markku took me home, then he went to the iBlog4 after party afterwards.

Sunday: Just went to church and slept in the afternoon. I had a nice long nap since it was raining and the weather was a bit chilly. And finally here I am trying to finish this blog entry.

Technically, it’s Monday now so it’s another new week for me! And I am predicting that there’ll be another long one ahead…=)

I just want to be on the beach!

Anawangin Cove and Capones Island here we come! Smile

Rant

April 10th, 2008 by hana

I still have one draft about the U23D concert still waiting to be finished and posted, but I just have to rant about this terrible heat we have in Manila right now.

Maybe it’s the heat, that’s why I’m in a bad mood tonight. Probably the reason why I’m so sensitive and pissed off right now. Well, better if it is, rather than have it caused by some other thing I don’t even want to know of.

Don’t really know if I can shrug this off before I go to bed. Anyway, I’d probably convince myself to forget it by tomorrow.

U23D movie

April 3rd, 2008 by hana

We’re watching U23D movie tomorrow at SM D-Cinema!

Well, I originally made reservations for tickets at the Imax theater at SM MOA. But when I was about to pay at the cinema admin office at SM North Edsa, I was 15 minutes late. So, I wasn’t able to catch the person handling Imax reservation payments.

It wasn’t really a problem though, because I can actually go back the next day. But then after the two ladies in the office explained the differences between Imax and D-cinema, I just decided that we should watch it in the latter. They told me it was clearer since it was already digital as compared to Imax which is still on film. Also, there’d be less hassles as the Block way nearer to where we’d be coming from than MOA. And, it’s cheaper by a bit. ^_^

Anyway, enough explanations. We’re watching it tomorrow night and I’m excited! I started to love U2 because of my pangga, and I actually planned this as a surprise for him (I even thought about it too much, I even had a weird dream about it!). So I can’t wait ’til we’re actually there. I just know it’s going to be great!

The flight

April 1st, 2008 by hana

“flight of ideas…where thoughts move quickly, and it’s impossible to speak/write quickly enough”

Another attempt to write my thoughts. Before, I used to write a lot. I’d have pieces of my thoughts and some doodles on loose paper, at the back of my notebooks, or on my review sheets. I never really had a diary, but I’d write letters and small pocket journals, most of which I started to work on, only to end abruptly.

I’m a thinker and a daydreamer, the type who can get easily lost in thoughts. Some of my friends would say I’m weird, but they’d always listen to me when I speak because I make sense most of the time. I also have a lot to say about my own little passions, like music, arts, and life itself.

Thing is, I just want to start writing again so I can share what I think with other people. My pangga has been very supportive. I know he is pushing me to love it again. He even got me my own domain, the same moniker as that of the other little blogs I’ve started.

So here I am again trying to transform my flight of ideas into string of words, before I even forget them. Another chance I don’t want to waste. Wish me luck!
