When I grow up, I want to be Veronica Mars!, Part 2

Check out my office desktop. Don't you love it? Haha! Got it off this LJ. It was originally "Dear Seventeen Magazine," and I edited to say "Candy."

I saw Dreamgirls last night with Ñapie, Lani, and Pete. Halfway through the movie, I wanted to yell at the screen, "Stop singing, please!" Hehe :P But I thought Jamie Foxx was awesome (he was such a jerk!) and Jennifer Hudson, IMHO, deserves all the awards she's being nominated for.

In other unrelated and even random-er news, I'm excited for this. (:

I was bait for you

Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame

Oh, would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance, and you should go
Oh, would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem, but I won't let you know

How's this for random?

Oh my God! "We are the gwapings!" Hahaha! Aylavet! The original gwapings were on ASAP today. It's Mr. M's birthday. I couldn't stop laughing while they were projecting old pictures of the trio on the screen behind them. I LOVED Palibhasa Lalaki and even watched the reruns on Cinema One. Jao Mapa was even the fourth gwaping.

This is a winner episode of ASAP, I have to say. Hehe! The entire cast of Super Inggo was just on. And I'm soooo sad that it's going to end soon. (Last week and finale on Friday! *cries*) I haven't been able to watch the past few weeks, but I always try to catch it when I get home early. I actually want to buy the DVD set. Can you believe it? Haha!

A good friend of mine is selling super pretty Jordi Labanda bags. Check out the bags and leave her a message on LiveJournal if you're interested. I want to get myself the Brunette messenger bag!

Try Something New

I've never been a fan of things unknown to me. I'm not adventurous with the kind of food that I eat. I don't like going to places I've never been to before. I'm not comfortable with people I've just met.

But this year, I've started to slowly inch my way out of my comfort zone and experience things for the first time. I've tried eating things that look foreign to me and try places that I wouldn't set foot in.

Just two days ago, I sat down in a beautifully-decorated deli somewhere in Sheridan. Their chairs and walls were painted in beautiful colors. And there was a big blue door welcoming you at the entrance. I loved it. The food was good and not too expensive. Normally, I wouldn't have gone there unless I had a friend who could vouch for it. But I tried it and I can't wait to go back and bring my friends there.

Yesterday, I went on another food trip, which I'd have to say is the best I've been on so far. So good that I'd encourage you to book a tour yourself.

Next week, I'm going on another trip and I can't wait! It's also going to be a first for me so wish me luck. I hope I don't get scared to try anything that looks strange or unfamiliar. I think now is the best time to experience everything for the first time. (:

Happy birthday, MacyCandy*!

Today marks the first year that I've been in my second job. A job that I love and I hope I will love for a couple more years. It was just like any other day. I had a meeting in the morning for our latest project and it didn't run for as long as I thought it would. We waited a lot longer than we had the meeting, I think. We also had a great lunch at this deli/bistro, which had the most beautiful paintings on the walls. I had a super laid back day back in the office and it ended with a great workout.

An entire year has passed and it doesn't feel like it at all. I feel like it's only been a week ago that I handed in my resignation letter and transferred to Summit. But it's not entirely the same. I recognize the familiar faces and they know me, too. I get called by my name now and not just because it's written at the back of my chair. I have comfortably settled in and I'm looking to stay a while longer—even if there are some good byes that need to be said.

*The big boss calls me this. For a long time, she kept calling me Candice (someone else from the office) because it's closer to Candy. Hahaha!
