Personal: November update ~ Daily Blog?

Hello everyone! I think it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post and here's what I have been busy with :)

I'll start with my birthday...the previous days before that was spent at work so it's nothing fun haha 

1. My 27th birthday (NOVEMBER 15)

I can't believe I'm already 27. I still feel like I'm on my early 20s haha maybe my mind is the only thing that stayed young. When I asked my brother if I looked 27 years old already, he just asked me: "sa isip o sa itsura?" (in mind or body?) My brother believe I still think and acts immaturely for my age. Anyways, I still feel young and I am now enjoying a lot more freedom so that's the best thing that happened for me this year. I can now stay out very late with friends yay! :)

I spent my birthday working in the morning and watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 with my 11y/o cousin. My tita doesn't want to watch so she asked me if I can accompany Coleen in the movies since I am gonna watch it too. It was my first time going to Robinsons Magnolia and I enjoyed how clean it is. I just hope it is easier to commute from there.

Then, I had my favorite crispy pata for dinner. Yummy! That's my only request coz I really love eating that. Aside from the crispy pata, we also had Max's fried chicken which is also my family's favorite. I have been eating that since time immemorial haha :)

2. Lee Min Ho in Manila! (NOVEMBER 16)

Yep! The reason why I didn't had a birthday party is because I spent all my energy to meet Lee Min Ho at Araneta Coliseum! I went there super early and the line (for exchanging the invitations for the tickets) was already too long but everything was worth it. I was able to stand in front of the stage and I can clearly see him. I was, like, 6 rows from the stage! It's actually too hot there because everyone wants to go near so there were a lot of pushing going on. Luckily, we were able to stood our ground in the middle...I got training riding the MRT for a long time LOL.

The best part of this whole experience? I was able to enjoy this with my sister and my best friend so it was extra special :)

3. Bonding time with my special someone (NOVEMBER 17-18)

I spent the weekend with my bf because it's the only time we can go out and celebrate my birthday and our monthsary. We just spent it at home talking and playing with our dog. I'm lucky because both of us are home-body and we prefer to stay at home while watching a movie rather than going out. He cooked dinner for me and had ice cream. I also requested him to buy Vodka Ice so I can try it haha :)

4. Rescued 3 kittens (NOVEMBER 19)

I met with a client at QC Hall and on my way home, I found 3 abandoned kittens on the sidewalk. I'm worried that they might get hit by a car or something so I picked them up and brought them home. I know I can't keep them and I'm planning on bringing them to PAWS when I get to contact them. I have 3 cats already and I can't get more even if I want to because they will probably fight each other (my cats are a little territorial).

One of them is already a few weeks old (he's already walking and have his eyes open already) while the other 2 are newborns coz they still have umbilical cords (maybe 3-4 days old). So I'm really guessing they were thrown out by someone. 

I am used to getting puppies or kittens so I already have a feeding bottle at home and I used the nipple for newborns for them. I bought infant milk coz this have an approval seal from my veterinarian years ago for my puppies. I just add multivitamins to it so that it can help with their immune system as they probably have not had their mom's colostrum to help fight of illnesses.

I have them for 4 days now and the first 2 nights are a nightmare coz they wake me up every 2 hours to ask for milk. I felt sorry for my sister (we sleep in 1 bedroom) because she still need to go to work early in the morning and she can't sleep properly due to the crying. Luckily, last night was peaceful. I don't know what happened but I guess they were able to sleep throughout the night without getting hungry :)

I am really hoping that they can survive and grow into adults. All three of them have good sucking reflex and can drink lots of milk! They can also eliminate pretty well so I know they will not have problem in that area. I just hope PAWS can take care of them...I don't know how long I can foster for them since I also need to go to work so no one can feed them frequently. Please help me pray for these kittens.

***
So yeah, sorry if I can't post anything lately. I actually have no time to compose anything with all the things happening around me. Everyone and everything wants my attention so I got lost LOL. Hopefully I can come back into posting every other day once I delivered the kittens to PAWS and I have finished general cleaning the house (we have a lot of Japanese friends going here for a vacation) :)

Thanks for dropping by!
 

Random Ramblings (pups, baking, birthday, breaking dawn) ^_^

Hello everyone!! It's another weekend and I'm hoping I can relax now after a busy week ^_^

Anyway, this post would only be a random rambling blog...I don't know, I hope you do like reading random stuffs about me every now and then hehe :)

*WARNING: Picture heavy*

I'll start this post with a current (well, it was current last week haha) family picture ^_^

The puppies are growing so fast! They're already starting to walk now...I'll try to take a picture again of them soon.. My bf told me they already have individual characteristics and can already tell them apart..I'm so excited to visit them again ^_^

I am learning how to cook! So, you all probably don't know that I don't cook at all but these couple of months I did get the urge to start learning how to cook dishes and so far, I'm getting good feedbacks, yay!

And then, I got intrigued with baking. So I got this recipe online and it's White Chocolate Chip Cookies with Macadamia nuts (Well, I used cashew nuts in this practice batch since macadamia nuts are expensive). Since this is my fave cookie, I decided to make it my first trial in baking. The first batch I made using a microwave oven (I thought my oven broke) came out too hard that it tasted like broas haha. But the second batch that was baked using a real oven tasted good! Everyone in my family told me it's the right sweetness and consistency so I'm very very happy ^_^

The cookies shaped like a gingerbread man was created by my bf...he played with the dough while I was baking and he seems happy with his creations so I cooked them for him too hehe ^_^

I just celebrated my 26th birthday! Yay! Thank you so much to all my online friends and readers who greeted me at Facebook! It means so much to me :)

I celebrated my birthday simply. I didn't want a tiring party wherein I will cook and clean the mess afterwards so I just celebrated it with my bf during the day and then with my family at night.

My bf and I ate lunch at YAKIMIX SM North branch. I really love this eat-all-you-can smokeless grill restaurant. They serve a variety of Korean, Japanese and Cantonese dishes and this is usually full and you need to fall in line before you can enter. Luckily for us, we arrived really early around 11am and they have just started letting people in and we didn't get to wait at all.

For lunch, it costs Php499 per person and P599 for dinner.

My favorite food and the reason why I love eating here...Samgyupsal!! Yummy! It is grilled pork belly and it tastes so good! As you can see in the picture, it's already almost gone. Can you imagine, I ate a plate full of samgyupsal alone? haha my bf was laughing at me because I can't stop eating ^_^

I also ordered a drink all you can blue lemonade. It tastes good too and I do love the color blue so whenever I have a choice (they have 4 colors I think) of drink, I usually go for the blue one regardless of what it is hehe ^_^

And I had a simple dinner with my family. We ate crispy pata and Max's fried chicken...I love eating crispy pata! But it was more meaningful because my whole family ate together and we had a chance to chat while devouring our feast ^_^

Have you seen the LEGO construction at SM North The Block yet? It's so cool! That Christmas tree that you can see at my back is made up of Lego! And around it were a lot of Lego structures too like Eiffel Tower, Star Wars etc.

And lastly, it's here! My most awaited movie of the year. I have been waiting for more than a year for this to be shown in cinemas.

And can you believe that I watched it twice yesterday?! Haha I did! I watched at Trinoma (first showing of the day, 1:20pm) with my best friend and another batch with my dad and sis at SM North (8:40pm).

I am very impressed with the movie. For the very first time since Twilight aired, I have no negative comment after watching it. Rob and Kirsten improved quite a lot with their acting, Taylor is so good that I cried in a couple of his scenes, the CGI wolves and Bella's physique while pregnant are amazing, the birthing scene and imprinting are perfect and I really love the effects and the setting! Isle Esme is really beautiful and I really really love to go there to see if it's real!

I am not gonna go into details because I don't want to give out spoilers and ruin it for those who haven't watched it but I salute the director for making everything so good and almost true to the book. For a fan of the books and my fave is Breaking Dawn, I was not disappointed whatsoever. The altering he did about some scenes to make it fit in the movie never bothered me and I do agree that it would be better to show it that way than follow the book exactly because it made the telling of the story easier for non-readers of the book to understand. Oh, and I applaud the director for making the honeymoon scenes very artistic. He captured it perfectly in my opinion ^_^

So I am really happy right now and I can't wait for part 2! I will definitely buy a dvd of Breaking Dawn once it's out. If you guys haven't seen it yet, do check it out. It's really worth the Php220, just don't go watching it at SM North cinemas because it sucks...We almost lost our reserved seats just before the movie starts because someone else's also have the same seat number as I have. And also, the movie already started and there are still a lot of people entering and the lights was still on...It was so distracting plus they allowed a 5-year-old to enter. It has love scenes for heaven's sake and they let a kid to watch it? I don't know what they're thinking..I really hated the experience...I do love the Trinoma cinema though because it's more organized and hassle-free and the crowd is not too noisy because there were no kids inside.

Anyways, thank you for dropping by! I hope I didn't bore you to death with my ramblings ^_^
