as i was not able to keep up with the Project 365 for the last quarter of 2011, and since the main blog was on hiatus, let me just post some pictures i have accumulated for those inclusive dates:
Day 272: September 29, 2011, Thursday
my angel
today is anika's 5th year of angelhood. every year, i see to it that a mass is offered for her if i can't go to mass myself. every year. and still my mom can't still remember her full name. sheeessh. kaya ayan at sinulat ko sa papel ang napakagandang name ng aking angel. haaayy, i still get wistful at the thought of her turning 5 years old now.
Day 274: October 01, 2011, Saturday
taking a shot at cooking it's been long since the last time that i tried cooking. every try has been such a failure that i never touched a frying pan again. pero dahil kailangan ito para sa pangarap kong makapag-asawa, ayan at nagresearch ako sa internet ng mga recipe na madaling sundan ng mga bobong katulad ko. in furnace, bumenta naman! sabi nga ng tatay ko "para akong kumain sa foodcourt". i'm not sure if that's a compliment though.
Day 276: October 03, 2011, Monday

Day 289: October 16, 2011, Sunday
it's me-time!
time for some shopping and pampering. getting my hair done at freshaire. and for the first time, napuri ang buhok ko. alagang-alaga daw. bago siguro yung girl, kase ang alam ko, they are trained to say na "DRY" ang buhok ng customers para they can urge them to buy/avail hair treatments. chura nila!
Day 291: October 18, 2011, Tuesday

Day 292: October 19, 2011, Wednesday
SOX Training Day 1
first day of our SOX self-testing training. i was one of the facilitators kaya sobrang ngarag ako arranging for this event. we have around 70 participants kaya sobrang nakakakaba.
Day 293: October 20, 2011, Thursday
SOX Training Day 2
second day of the training. i was a nervous-wreck dahil it's my turn to speak before the testers. medyo kumplikado pa yung topic ko, but i was happy i was able to explain it to them. there were even some who were so kind to express their appreciation on how well i explained that they did understand the topic daw. in return, we were treated to a hearty dinner courtesy of our SOX consultant.
Day 294: October 21, 2011, Friday
tighter!
gone to a trip to the dentist today. i'm glad that i can see improvements with my teeth after wearing braces for about six months now. i'm getting the hang of smiling in pictures na nakalabas na ang ngipin, di katulad dati na puro pa-virgin na smile lang ako lagi. hehehe.
Day 295: October 22, 2011, Saturday
nyud
i am loving this nail color! bukod sa nakakaputi ng kamay, it is so natural na hinde kaagad makikita na bakbak na sya kung halimbawang hinde ako puntahan ng aking manicurista for 3 weeks (chos!) i love nude, or should i call it "nyud" as what the manicurista says?
Day 296: October 23, 2011, Sunday
second attempt
ayan, napuri lang minsan, ginanahan naman agad! today's recipe is shrimp with cashew nuts. mejo palpak lang yan kase nadurog yung green peas, andami-dami naman kaseng instructions, nalito na ang budding chef. wahahaha! edible naman sya, pero feeling ko hinde benta ;-)
Day 297: October 24, 2011, Monday
pompoms
akalain mong available pa pala 'to? nakikipagchikahan lang ako with one of my officemates nung bigla nya kong tanungin kung kilala ko pa daw ba ang pompoms. obcorz, intercourse! yan at ang zebzeb, tarzan at texas ang mga pagkaing miss na miss ko na :(
Day 301: October 28, 2011, Friday
first date
umagang-umaga pa lang, kumpleto na ang araw ko. niyaya ako ni papa P na magbreakfast. and this is the first time na kaming dalawa lang ang lalabas. yiheeeee! nilibre nya ko sa starbucks. pinag-oorder nya ko ng food pero i made this lame excuse na hinde ako kumakain sa umaga kase nasisira ang tiyan ko. pero ang totoo eh hinde lang talaga ako makakakain nang kaharap sya. wahahaha. highschool!
Day 302: October 29, 2011, Saturday
trick or treat!
this is ruth's 3rd trick or treat na kasama si tita. buti na lang naloko ko sya regarding the costume. gusto nya kase ng cinderella costume, eh it's too plain for tita (o mas gusto lang talaga ni tita ang yellow?). sinabi ko na lang sa kanya na butas yung kilikili ng gown ni cinderella kaya pumayag na sya na yung yellow na gown ang kukunin namin. yeeeeyy! bumagay naman sa bagets diba?
Day 304: October 31, 2011, Monday
booked
i have impulsively booked myself (and deejay) for a davao trip in july of 2012. matagal pa naman yan, sana lang hinde sya maulan. the cebupacific piso sale can be so cunning!
Day 305: November 01, 2011, Tuesday
all saints' day
the disadvantages of working for a BPO... walang holi-holiday, even on a very traditional day like today. bukod sa christmas, this is the only time that my relatives (at least from my father's side) get together. i won't let it pass, kaya dumaan pa din ako, maagang-maaga nga lang, and very very short time lang. kumokonti na kame i realized. yung iba nasa abroad, yung iba, sila na ang dinadalaw namin ngayon. =(
Day 306: November 02, 2011, Wednesday
makati on holiday nights
what i hate about the holiday season is the traffic that goes with it. good thing i don't sulk when stuck in horrible traffic, i take time to take in the beauty that surrounds me (weh?). this is how the long stretch of ayala avenue looks like now.
Day 312: November 08, 2011, Tuesday
all systems go!
korea, here i come! finally got our visa after crossing my fingers tightly for over a week. nakakakaba maghintay. i can't allow myself to get excited for the trip, not before i know that my visa is approved. now i can go shopping for outfits!
Day 323: November 19, 2011, Saturday
dream.come.true
for korea, i will do anything for good pictures. so goodbye 13th month pay, hello DSLR camera! matagal ko na din naman gustong makabili neto, i just did not have the reason to dump my digicam and go for the bigtime, hehehe.
Day 330: November 26, 2011, Saturday
cute korean kid
we were riding the subway when this kid and his dad hopped in the car we were in. i swear, he's the cutest i've ever seen (i meant the kid, not the dad). parang nagbago tuloy ang isip ko against not marrying a foreigner. parang i would consider marrying a korean for me to live there and have a kid who's as cute as this one, hahaha!
Day 359: December 25, 2011, Sunday
merry christmas ruth!
and just like that, it's already christmas. ambilis ng panahon. this is the christmas where i am cramming up until the 24th. mashado kasing naging busy eh. i remember in 2010, i was already buying gifts as early as october pa lang. busy kase sa korea eh, hehehe. but it's all good. ruth-ruth got her barbie with a swimming pool from lolo & lola (a.k.a tita's bulsa) and i am so happy she likes it. i was not able to find the tom & jerry dolls that she requested though =)
Day 363: December 29, 2011, Thursday
gifts galore
i was on leave for the longest time ever (7 days, imagine that!) and when i got to the office, these gifts were waiting for me. nakakatuwa! be it small or big, it's nice to know that you made it in other people's christmas list. these gifts will always be special, especially that one in the brown paper bag. hahaha!
