Project 365 - Part 3

Image
Here's Part 3 of my project 365... Day 21 January 21 Free-day Friday! I won Burger King certificates last December so Gerard and I had free dinner! Everything seems to be more delicious when it's free... Day 22 January 22 It has been 3 months already.... hay... life must go on... but we really, really miss you Daddy...  Day 23 January 23 We went to Market!Market! to have our weekly family lunch... it's nice to see that they have their version of the Sto. Nino festivities :) Day 24 January 24 Live Well Challenge! We had a chance to be assessed by a certified dietician and I was told that I am already at risk of being obese... Ouch!!! The truth really hurts... but at same time, I am really challenged to lose weight and be healthy... Day 25 January 25 This made me smile today... It really feels good when your work is appreciated. Day 26 January 26 Yoga mat, we meet again! After 2 months, I was able to attend our weekly yoga class.

Project 365: life in a different perspective

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, Five hundred twenty-five thousand, moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure a year in the life? - Seasons of Love, from Rent As the start of 2011, I decided to do a project called: Project 365. This project is a good way to measure a year in the life.  Project 365 made me excited because it is like a dare for me to be able to finish the whole project.  It is a test of commitment and constancy. I plan to take a picture of any event of each day. I thought it was just a simple project and there’s no big deal about it. Even after only 12 days, I already have so many realizations. I realized that each day and every single moment of it is truly a blessing. I used to think that my lif

I now created Part 2 for my project 365. This will be for day 11 - 20. Search Amazon.com for project 365 Day 11 January 11 New peso bills for the new year! Thanks to Connie, I now have the new 20 peso and 50 peso bills. Thanks also to Imee for posing as my model for the new bills. Day 12 January 12 Starbucks drink for a cause. My officemate Jun is trying to complete the stickers for the 2011 planner. Since he needs several stickers, he offered starbucks drink for only 100 pesos (he will shoulder the balance). Thank you so much for my chocolate cream chip frappuccino! Yum! Yum! :) Day 13 January 13 Time for Toastmasters! We had our first Toastmaster's meeting for 2011 and it was really, really fun. We only had table topics so everything was impromptu... Day 14 January 14 Thank God it's Friday! Had dinner with Nuni and Denden at Krazy Garlik... good food + great company = wonderful time :) Day 15 January 15 Felt so blessed! We went to B

Bistro Ravioli...

One of the things that I like about Gerard is that he loves italian cuisine. He’s not the typical guy who would always prefer rice meals… he always likes to eat pizza and pasta… So last Saturday, during our weekly date, we went to SM Mall of Asia and tried out an Italian Restaurant… Bistro Ravioli… J The place is very clean and simple. There are no elaborate decorations. The tables and chairs are clean and white, wall designs are very minimal, and the table setting is very basic. The place gives a fresh and relaxing ambiance. So this allows you to focus mainly on the food and not on anything else. It is also not too crowded nor too deserted. Ok now, enough about the place… let’s go to their food… The restaurant is proud of their fresh, hand-pulled pastas, just like the traditional Italian way. Their pizzas are also oven-baked in a brick oven. To start off, we wanted to order the Pizza Frita with Boursin cheese dip, unfortunately the cheese dip was not available. But I can say we

I have seen people who actually did this last 2010... so I am here to attempt to do it myself... I will take a picture of each day of 2011... so wish me luck! Day 1 - January 1 We started the year with a visit to my dad... Hi Daddy! We miss you soooooo much... We love you! Day 2 January 2 So funny because it was almost 3 months since my last visit to Rockwell... nothing much has changed though... except for their usual christmas decors. :) Day 3 January 3 New year! New office! I still work for the same company, we just moved in a different location. Day 4 January 4 I had to take a day off because I was down with cough and colds... Day 5 January 5 Brought a box of yema for my officemates (thanks to Kuya Reggie and Ate Loida)... made me feel good because all of them had a standard reply: "Wow! Thanks!" Day 6 January 6 Loving our new cubicles... here's a picture of my officemates of our bonding time during lunch... Day 7 Janua
