whew!

i survived my first 2 weeks at work! yay!

but damn. my brain has taken a beating @_@ i swear, when i get home, i just want to surf the net then crash. no energy to do chores no more. oh yea! today was my first OT day haha!

almost everything is different. new tools. new culture. new product. new concepts. new processes. infooooow overload. tapos may palpak na din akong nagawa hahah! @_@ i think i'm starting to get the hang of it though.

BUT! i'm still oddly quiet. i don't talk much at the office. yuck. hahah! totally not me. but everything's cool :) this chocolate is sweet :D

oh yea! my PC has a sound card now!

and free coffee YEA!

isa nalang ang kulang.... DF. nasan na ba yun? HAHAH!

evening breakfast

tonight i was able to watch a classic movie: breakfast at tiffany's

what can i say? the movie was simple. no flashy effects whatsoever. 

but i loved it! there were some parts that i could really relate to. and i cried! hahaha!

1. holly golighty (audrey hepburn) loves glamour. but she can't afford it. haha!

2. holly loves new york. and she lives in an apartment alone (well.. with a cat with no name). which is a bit disorganized as well. hihihi!

3. there's this line near the end of the movie... paul varjak (george peppard) said "you call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing... and you're terrified someone will stick you in a cage. well baby, you're already in that cage, you built it yourself." aahh ang galing!

hmm.. that was a nice way to spend the evening :) oh yea, i SUPER DUPER love moon river. i have a little secret about this song. but i think i'll keep it to myself. for now :D

envy

it makes you do vile things.

it blurs the line between one's professional and personal life.

how desperate are you, really?

i must admit, you are good at spreading shit.

so, you ruined a person's career.

you happy now?

and yea, my brother's going to be a college freshman soon.

do you have an idea on how much his tuition fee would cost?

enjoy your victory. savor your achievement.

oh, and thank you.

you might just have opened a new window for us.

a better opportunity, maybe.

when our time for success comes, i would love to slap it across your face.

but for now, congratulations.

you win.

huh?

it's weird. today is my free day. i'm supposed to have fun and do whatever. and tomorrow is a start of a new chapter in my life. so i should be excited.

but today, i felt the first pang of loneliness since i moved out of the house. i want to talk to my mom. *sigh*

green tea yogurt, anyone?

for dinner today, i decided to have my favorite Medium Green Tea Swirl Yogurt with mango at California Berry (Level 4, Robinson's Galleria).

when i placed my order, the cashier said they ran out of mangoes. so i said ok, i'll have a Medium Banana Split instead (yogurt with banana, strawberry and white chocolate thingies). and they ran out of bananas and strawberries too. 

then something weird happened. i usually get pissed when this happens ("ano nalang ba pwede kong orderin?"). but today, i felt happy. hahah! happy for them actually. that means more people got to taste their yummy yummy yogurt! hooray!

i super love california berry. you can choose from the original yogurt, coffee, green tea, coffee swirl (coffee + original yogurt) and green tea swirl (green tea + original). and you can choose from chocolates and fruits for toppings. they also give free tastes (a spoonful of yogurt). plus, it is frozen yogurt. the texture is almost like ice cream, not like the usual liquid-y yogurt you buy in groceries. and my friends know that i have this weakness for cold concoctions (smoothies, shakes, ice cream, frappes, halo halo, etc.. you get the picture). so it's like having a huge nice treat of healthy guilt-free non-sweet ice cream! awesome :D AND, it's only 8.8 calories per serving! :-o

the goodness of fresh pasta

i luckily discovered this little store in robinsons galleria. it's called Ravioli, located in the middle of the food court (it's a small kiosk, not like the usual food court stores). ravioli is actually a kind of pasta. it's square-ish with fillings (either meat or cheese or veggies or whatever).

anyhoo, Ravioli's dishes are YUMMY! yes, it's a bit more expensive than the usual jolly spaghetti, but man! super sulit! when you see your order, at first you'd think it's bitin because the serving looks small. but it really is very filling! plus they make their own pasta (i saw one of their cooks actually preparing it), so no easy-cook pasta stuff. the sauce is really rich in flavor, and they even sprinkle fresh herbs. o ha? if you taste the dish, you'd think that it's from a resto, not a food court kiosk. their chorizo and tomato ravioli is the best!

what i noticed though is they have a limited number of menu items. less than 10 dishes, i think. i just don't know if it's because of the small kitchen space that they have, or they're just trying to specialize in certain dishes. hmm... well, i guess it's better though, than serving dishes that aren't really well-developed/prepared, right?

this little kiosk definitely gets a two thumbs-up from me :)
