Theme Song

I just want to share a song that actually described a point in my life. Though a love song, it totally didn't describe my love life (like I have or had one). It just happened to describe my life as a whole.

The song is Gotta Go My Own Way by Vanessa Hudgens. And without any biases, I'd say I like the song regardless of who sung it. :) The entire song characterized my life, but I would'nt bore you with the entire lyrics and just stick with this excerpt.

Don't wanna leave it all behind

But I get my hopes up

And I watch them fall every time

Another color turns to gray

And it's just to hard

To watch it all slowly fade away

I'm leaving today

'Cause I gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

Sometimes, there are things we need to leave behind to make way for our real destiny. Sometimes, we need to make the move and don't just leave things to destiny. Sometimes, we need to look for destiny and don't just sadly wait for it to come to us.

Christmas Windows

Christmas is indeed in the air. I don't know if you're facing same problem as mine, but I'm really having a hard time with invitations. There are indeed lots of dinners nowadays.

Anyhow, that defines my Christmas. But in the malls, Christmas mood is seen right from each boutique's window. Sharing with you what I saw in Robinsons Manila and Glorietta last weekend (Powerbooks, Rustan's and Gap).

Rustan's had a carnival theme while Gap had an actual "doodling" session last Saturday. Powerbooks' my favorite. Very simple, but surely created with much thought and artistry.

Finding Justice

Since I couldn't sleep very well, I was able to watch "Cheche Lazaro Presents" last Sunday night. It aired a documentary on Vizconde Massacre. Looking closely to both sides of the story,the epdisode was entitled, "Dalawang Mukha ng Hustisya" (something like that! Haha I can't remember the title very well.).
I have heard about this incident when it broke out to the public years ago, but I was too young to know, to care and to understand. So the recent episode from ABS-CBN reminded and refreshed us with the story--this time, without so much judgment and opinions from the media and other public figures, but straight from the parties involved in this case.
I wouldn't want to re-tell the documentary in this blog. But I'd say the episode was really worth-watching. You might want to check out youtube or try Sky or Bayan's "I Want TV" to watch the episode and see why I'd stand for the Webb family.
I do hope they could find justice soon as they have been waiting and fighting long enough.

Songs from Taylor

Taylor Swift is again to release an album. And yet again, Taylor literally sings what her heart tells her for ex-boyfriends John Mayer and Taylor Lautner, and crush Cory Monteith were present in her songs.

Check this site for the list and description of her third albums's songs.

I may not like the album cover, but I am excited for the release of it! I have been a fan of her music, but this time, I am crazed with the gossips implied on her lyrics.

Rushed to Caltex with HSBC

Did you hear about HSBC's 10-10-10 celebration with P10 per liter fuel from Caltex? Well, I did hear about it. And fortunately, I was able to avail it! Yahooo!

Yes, I really tuned in to radio yesterday just to catch the announcement on which branches to avail this promo. Good that I was able to listen on the right time and good that I switched stations from time to time. I heard the news at around 9:50am on Magic 89.9 and we were driving around Monumento that time.

We went straight to North EDSA, which was the nearest branch to our location that time, and arrived at around 10:10am. There were, as expected, cars already lining up and starting to cause traffic.

During the two hours of waiting time, my adrenaline was just OVERFLOWING! I felt so impressed with the team who started this idea. I wanted to be part of this kind of team. I want to do this kind of things! I know... I am so aware that my work right know is so not the marketing I am longing for. I thought there's a reason why I am in trade marketing and why I always stumble into trade marketing. I thought I have the skills for it even if I don't aim for it. I thought. But I am well aware that all this time, all I've been seeing is my flaws and that I could not really stand as a good trade marketer. Oh well, enough with the drama. There will be a time for my brand marketing career. U just wait. :) For now, let's just celebrate that my family was able to save 712.50 pesos for a 30-liter diesel!

Title

I think I need a new title for my blog.

So far, my life isn't bitter nor sweet and. as you may notice, my entries are not bitter anymore! Hurrah! I am thinking... "Steady lang," because that seems to describe my life today.

Hmm.

Also, I need a new "About Me," too! :)

Andalucia... Sana.

Haha

Tried to go and see Andalucia this morning. I was early naman. I got there in the port area around 10am when the Andalucia, according to this post, opens by 9am. But I wasn't expecting a people-lining-up-like-they-are-going-to-the-province-on-a-holiday kind of thing! I got turned off and went to Intramuros to take pictures instead. But it wasn't a success either. I got really tired walking to Intramuros that my hands were shaky and my feet were so damn complaining already.

Haha

What a day.
