Cubao's Getting Prettier

Last Monday, I met up with Arvic and had early dinner at Gateway Mall. We weren't really craving for anything in particular but we both decided we wanted Ramen, so we ended up at Teriyaki Boy.

We were seated the the couch area and got a really nice view of one part of Araneta Center.

I live near Cubao and I'm happy that the Araneta Center is getting cleaner and little by little being developed. I hear a lot of friends are afraid to frequent the area due to 'takot' of being held-up and the like. I've been living in Cubao for more than 20 years and I never (and hopefully will never ever) experienced being held-up. I'm even more scared of Taft, Manila, Divisoria.. Hehe. Biased ba? :P

Anyway, I noticed also that now there are more trees in the area. Lookie!

Good job! More treeeeees please. :)

CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

Oooooh trees. That's actually one of the reasons I like working in Emerald Ave., Ortigas. Parang ang relaxing ng dating kasi.

i miss gateway mall and i guess the same feelings for tina and gabby. we used to live one lrt station away from gateway kaya gamay na gamay namin ang cubao! hahaha...

na miss ko din bigla ang teriyaki boy, pati na din cibo sa gateway.

i agree with you, all establishments should improve for greener earth! more trees please!
pero unlike you, hindi ako takot sa taft, recto at divisoria, hahaha! medyo kabisado ko ang mga lugar na yan. :P

Chuper Excited!

2 weeks to go.. then I'll be painting HongKong and Macau red with my Sanity Keepers... Any suggestions on where to go to? Beside from the usual night market, HK Disneyland and Ocean Park. Any cheap foodtrip areas? Plus, it's Arvic's first time in HongKong too. So I'm extra excited for him too. Let the countdown begin!I am sooooo excited already! :) My bday's coming up in more or less 2 weeks also. Yey! Turning 25 and excited about it! :D Planning to spend the weekend before my actual bday with the whole family somewhere. Let's see... :) ======= Yesterday, had a massage at TonTon's again. I loved it! Just what I needed. I love that place.. Not too crowded. And not too expensive too! :) ======= Work starts again tomorrow. Oh well.... positive side? At least I'll have enough moolah to enjoy HongKong. Thank you work! :P CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

It's not natural for me...

... to be away from family and friends and Arvic. I'm in SG now and I'll be here for 2 weeks for work. And just 2 days in, I can already conclude that this kind of setup is not for me (for now). It feels weird, different, interesting in a way, but sad. Weekend, please come already. I need to be around friends (from SG) to appreciate this (work)trip. What's good about this trip is that I get to cross-out one item in my bucket list.. "Travel alone". Yay for me! 2010, you're starting great. :) CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...
