mobile living

cakewarrior — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:37:24 +0000

i think they will have car shows at the mall all year long and almost everyone can’t help it but look and wish they own those cars – so like me and my best buddy. when i was younger, i never really had dreams of having a house of my own. i had heavy dreams of running away from home and to just live in a car, just go where i want to go and stay where i want to stay. everything i would need would be inside my very own ride. well i guess, things change and i want to be more comfortable.

BUT, who wouldn’t want an RV? ’cause my partner and i haven’t decided on where to live yet. maybe we could use one of these rv loans pages to avail of this vehicle and start to go mobile living :)

i love boots!

cakewarrior — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:10:25 +0000

ever since i was a kid, i’ve always preferred boots over all types of shoes. why? because it’s flexible. a black, high cut leather pair of boots can be worn with a skirt, dress, pants and shorts. i still remember all the pairs that i’ve had. there was one point when i had all 6 of them looked just so slammin’ good with my chosen outfit for a gig and i couldn’t decide which one to wear. right now i only have about 4… a medium-cut, 3-inch heeled black leather, medium cut suede brown, the ever durable dark brown snow boots and a high cut black suede. i’m thinking of getting a new pair for a more rugged look. hmm…

wanna travel again

cakewarrior — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 05:39:17 +0000

i just had a 5-day vacation out of the country early this month and it was really very nice. the best thing about it is that i was able to be with my brothers and get to bond with them, and that i went there with my other half. having to squeeze in a lot of activities in such a short span of time was a bit stressful, not to mention the budget that we had to set for this tour. anyway, to summarize, it was a lot of fun and full of wonderful memories. i would like to go back to hongkong though, or better, visit japan for the first time.

my partner is leaving for a 2-week vacation in the US later this year and i’m praying somehow i could join him, if i would be able to get a US visa. i’m hoping i could see las vegas, visit my cousins in california, and also check out some live entertainment in missouri. will take a look at these Branson vacation packages later. let’s hope things will fall into place :)

going back to school

cakewarrior — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 05:12:23 +0000

i terribly miss studying. although it’s something that’s happening on a daily basis, sometimes i miss the pressure, the notebook, pen, books, exams and of course, the ever memorable sat prep. long days of studying, unlearning and relearning… i miss that. i feel an urge to go back to school and take a crash course of just anything interesting such as language, management, or even something closely related to my degree in computers in order to enhance my knowledge of the subject matter.

maybe in a few more months, or next year, i’d study MANDARIN. i have this gut feeling that being able to speak and understand the language will be in demand in the near future, given that CHINA is rising. what do you think?

security cameras at work

cakewarrior — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 09:59:41 +0000

i wonder if the security cameras in the office actually see how i make use of the extra locker close to mine. hoping there wouldn’t be any issue with that. there was an issue before when people who were caught using their cellphones and other gadgets were cited with level 3 offense because those are not allowed in the operations. why? my company won’t risk our client’s security through those built-in camera phone lenses.

anyway, when i didn’t know there were security cameras installed, i was very hesitant to leave my belongings inside my locker even if it has my own padlock. this time, i feel more secure and comfortable even just leaving some of my bigger stuff on the floor outside of the operations (such as my guitar) because i know that whoever would attempt to steal it will be caught and TERMINATED.

safety wear

cakewarrior — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:37:41 +0000

i’m thankful that shoes, bullet proof clothes, all the way to safety gloves were invented. you know why? last week my dad was accidentally hitched by a trike and if his shoes weren’t the one that my brother gave him, then he would be in trouble. see, my dad is diabetic and as much as possible, he should avoid getting wounded because it would take a long, long time to heal.

same with my mom who loves working in the garden and once, she almost cut her fingers by accident if not for the safety gloves. fireproof clothes for our firemen, bullet-proof attires for our armies… such bright ideas for protection.

new computer

cakewarrior — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:28:23 +0000

i’m about to get a new computer. i just want something smaller and lighter but of course, it would be great to have all the features that i have here now than less. i’m not so distinct when it comes to video card (unlike my sister who needs the best badly because of her graphics work) but the sound card, since i would probably be making music with it. memory and hard drive capacity are given, now the size… i hope i would get a lighter 13″ or below.

you know, i don’t know if i really need to buy a new one. sometimes i feel like i’m never satisfied and that buying something new would simply make me crave for something more. maybe i should just stick to what i have now. it’s still working like it’s brand new!

sister’s birthday

cakewarrior — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:19:14 +0000

yesterday, we celebrated my sister’s birthday at the mall where we ate italian food and watched a great pinoy movie. nothing beats the feeling afterwards when you know that you’ve made another memory with your loved ones.

the celebration yesterday is honestly something new because we always stayed indoors, uncovered the electric grills and start filling the neighborhood with the smell of a good seafood meal. i love entertaining visitors, unlike my younger sisters who just always wanted a more intimate moment with close relatives only. and it makes me smile remembering those days when i got the whole house filled with friends from way back elementary until college. i think that was my 18th birthday – the best ever.

sigh… memories…

update with my diet

cakewarrior — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 08:06:06 +0000

tea seemed to have stopped working for me. but i don’t know. maybe i’m just really eating too much than needed or just not eating properly. i wish there are other healthy options close to my workplace so that i would eat something better than burgers, fries and starbucks. they made me really, really BIG.

i’m looking at some natural diet supplements to help me with my diet. i decided to eat often but only small meals, just so i won’t get hungry. running or doing some cardio exercises… i’d really love to do that. for now, my work schedule does not go along with the gym schedule nearby so i can’t do it. i’ve just started jogging in place before taking a bath. pity me! hahahaha.

why do i feel like i’m fully booked and yet, i accomplish only a little for the past few months? hmmm…

beautiful picture

cakewarrior — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 02:43:58 +0000

the band had a photoshoot last saturday, both indoors and outdoors, and we enjoyed it a lot! it made me realize much how i needed to lose weight and also made me wish i have a clear, beautiful skin and outstanding facial features so i wouldn’t have to apply makeup at all. i think the camera would love me then, and there wouldn’t be a need to retouch every minute. but facing reality, i have to find solutions for acne. there aren’t really a whole lot but i believe that prevention is better than cure.

another thing i’ve learned from the shoot is, if you have good thoughts and if you really feel good inside, it would surpass the physical perspective and the camera would capture such beautiful moments and angles each time.
