Bo's Coffee @ the MVP basement

the only thing i like buying from Bo's Coffee is their chocolate shake, although sometimes i'd wish i had the courage to ask if they could put whipped cream on it too. i think it's unfair that they don't put whipped cream on their chocolate shake :< the only way i got to indulge myself with it was the time amberber bought this caramel cappuccino and she let me eat some of it.

but anyway, last thursday, amberber and i discovered something REALLY yummy from Bo's Coffee -- THIS cake :D

i forgot what it's called though ._. i definitely splurged on this one because it looked OH SO GOOD. this cake definitely made my day <3 

it was so good, even amberber bought her own cake :))

may nag text~!

what a lame title :)) but i couldn't think of anything else ._. i think it's better than naming this blog entry as 'my new phone' or worse 'my new baby' @_@ that'll make me sound like a retard :P

but yes, i DO love my new phone despite the criticisms i get that it ain't QWERTY. who cares if it isn't? i still think that having a touch screen is SO COOL >M< i can't believe i managed to have one in my lifetime even :)) i'm betting this is my (very) advanced birthday gift from my mom, so i'm treasuring it.

i also love the cute little pink blob i bought from Clipper @ 99 pesos. it lights up when i text some/ someone texts me/ someone calls me/ i call someone. it lights up when nothing happens as well, so it's a bit creepy, but i can live with that :D

some shots... because i took the time to take them ;)

fufufufufuf so fun :D

Day 02 — Your favorite movie

I know not a lot of people know this movie, but i absolutely ADORE this <3



ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

i even took the time to dload it and watch it again and again and again. the concept is highly fascinating, the cinematography absolutely cool and hell, the symbols are somewhat hard to understand but i managed to understand them anyway :)

i like the way how the characters seem so... human. i mean, sure it's got this sci-fi feel to it, but then again, the characters in this movie act so normal, it's unbelievable. and how things end up the way they do... it's just awesome. i was even ranting to shani that 'if that's not what you call 'destiny' and 'you're made for each other', then i don't know WHAT is'.

it starts confusing since the movie's not basically arranged in a linear fashion, and YES, you have to make your brain work to understand what's actually happening on the screen, but it's all worth it once you finally know everything :)

although it's about love, it's not purely the cheesy crap you see on the big screen. sure, they're cheesy but somehow you end up not feeling it at all and instead, you start seeing the significance of love, of yourself and how a person truly means to you.

as a bonus, i learned from my GIFT teacher that this movie was inspired by an answering machine. how the story writer managed to connect things together... i am impressed :)

Day 01 — Your favorite song

after some hard deliberation, i guess this is my all time favourite song, even if you turned the world upside down and inside out...



NOBELA by JOIN THE CLUB

even after so many years, this is the song that i usually end up singing when i'm alone and sad. yeah sure, i've had loads of songs as my emo songs, but this one hits home every time. i guess maybe it's in Filipino, that's why it ends up hitting the x mark and goes through my feelings every single time.

the melody is obviously slow, but the chorus is catchy enough to make you want to sing it. the lines are cheesy, but it reflects how every single love i've felt turned out: hurt, miserable, unrequited -- but in the end of it all, i was still willing to wait it out until i was SURE there really was no chance in hell for it to ever work out , thus forcing myself to forget already.

of course, i don't want that pattern to keep on repeating itself again and again. God knows that my heart's been burnt more times than i could even count, so i hope it stops :)) maybe that's why i'm trying my best not to fall for anyone -- i'm too scared to even want to try anymore. i've had enough of broken hearts :))
