Little Miss Wanderlust

Any instant get-together require an accessible dinner place to go to. And because most of us are from or near Makati (excluding me boohoo), we always end up somewhere in Greenbelt. For this dinner get-together, the initial plan was to have dinner somewhere else but then people started complaining about the price of that particular restaurant so we opted to find another place. Yakimix was the next option, but then we were 24th on waiting list. So we ended up at Lusso. Yes the interior looked good. Too bad we weren't able to get a table inside. Haha! We ended up in the tables outside in a warm warm night. Was not much of a good idea in my opinion but still, we had fun and enjoyed the food. Forgot the name of this one :P Spinach Taglierini - P350 (this was really good!)   Roast Lamb Sandwich- P350 (just okay) Pics of friends.. Huling huli na nakikikuha ng food :P lol! Will we go back? Yes, for the pasta. And next time we'll make sure to reserve a table inside...

I think I'll have cute kids someday. Lookie! A sneak preview of what my kids might look like (minus Arvic's genes pa muna because this is My side of the (future)family). Haha! CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

My friends and I agreed to have a send-off dinner because one of us was about to leave for Belfast. He'll be deployed there for a month or two. We asked him to decide where he wanted to have dinner and he wanted Jap food. We ended up at Nanbantei of Tokyo at Greenbelt3. So it was my first time to eat at Nanbantei of Tokyo so I wasn't sure what to order. I was told that I should definitely try their skewers... So we ordered 2 sets of their Best Seller >> It has the following >> 21 sticks in total: Aspara Maki, Tebasaki, Pork Garlic Yaki, Shiso Maki, Negima, Corn, and Poteto Maki. This is how they cook the skewers.. so I think it can be considered 'healthy' I like it! I think it's a good choice for people who really aren't that hungry and just want to chat over light dinner.

I recovered these photos from our Chicago Trip last year. I remember being really amazed while reading short lines from these special people. It's a Hapa Exhibit in the field museum. What's Hapa  you may ask? Interesting? :) Here are pics of proud Hapa people.   I saw a number of Filipinos (most are from Hawaii and Japan) featured in the exhibit too. CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

The weather is starting to get unpredictable already. With all the earthquake, tsunami and earth shifts. Here in Manila, during the mornings it's a bit cold and breezy then when afternoon comes it gets really hot (summer heat). Which made me remember an exhibit at the Field Museum we visited in Chicago. It was all about Climate Change. My Ate with the globe Coral Crisis There was an interactive wall you can leave notes on. It poses the question ---> And here are some answers: Pretty neat! :) We really should start taking care of our world. Mother Earth is literally crying out for help already. CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

I turned 27 a couple of weeks ago and I have mixed feelings about it. I'm thankful for 27 wonderful years of life of course, but then the thought of me getting closer to the big 3-0 is something I'm not that excited about. But then again, I'm still younger than most of my friends. So yay to me! :P Anyway... celebrated with the family at Saisaki/Dad's/Kamayan.. Had birthday salubong with highschool friends at The Reserve, then movie/dinnner date with Arvic. That's about it! :) Thank you Papa God for all the blessings and for another wonderful year ahead. :) CARPE DIEM! I'm out.

I've been wanting to ask this so badly... WHO INVENTED WORK?!?!??? and money and 5-day workweeks?!?? =P I know.. I know... I just got back to working a couple of months ago so technically I have no right to rant (yet). So let's get to the details. I've been working for close to 2 months now, been with this particular client for a month already. I won't say where... but it's generally counted as a "local company" and may I just say that based from experience, local company culture is really not for me. For my past 2 jobs, it's mostly multinational clients that I worked with so I'm comparing this particular experience with those engagements. So here are the things that I just find weird: People "expect" you to call them sir, ma'am, miss etc. Especially if they're from "higher" positions. So when I send out emails, I have to double check and see if I put the correct citations just so noone would be "offended...
