Blogger.com

For sometime now, every time I try to access Blogger.com, it redirects me the auto search function of Google. I was frustrated that I started looking for alternative blog sites but could not find any that’s better than Google. I tried to migrate it to Multiply but I’m not contented with Multiply’s blog module either. I then tried to search if others have also encountered the same errors I’m getting. It looks like it has been a long standing error until now. Fortunately though, I was able to search for an alternative URL that’s working. =) I just hope that they can fix the problem soon.

Music and Lyrics Part II

I already have an MP3 of Way Back Into Love courtesy of Minda. =) She was able to download 2 versions of the song, one sung by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett and the other one by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The later is part of the movie. I have been listening to the songs most of the day during our meeting breaks. Below is the lyric with guitar chords. =)

Music and Lyrics

A funny and romantic and again funny movie! I just love it. Hugh Grant was so funny in his role hehe. Drew was as always, lovely. I also love the soundtrack. I am so tempted to buy one ASAP. I especially like Way Back Into Love. The melody is simply beautiful.

The Holiday
Yet another romantic movie (di naman obvious na ito hilig ko hehe). Starred by Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black and Kate Winslet. Jude is so handsome. Hay what a face! And those expressive eyes! Everytime Jack appears, I remember his role in Nacho Libre and I can’t help but laugh even if he's portraying a serious role hehe.

Long Lost Friend

I met with Monet last Saturday. Monet is a relative of Ate Jenny, one of my former landladies. They were the ones working at Bahay Kubo (Ate Weng and Ate Jenny's gulayan business). We last saw each other last 2001. Last April 2006, I accidentally met Ate Weng at St. Francis and that's how I was able to contact Monet but it was only now that we were able to meet hehe. Anyway, she will be graduating this March. Her siblings and mom are staying in Baguio and both Michelle and Mike are already studying. (It's quite a long story on how they ended up living in Baguio) I'm happy that despite all the hardships they've been through, they were able to stand up and pursue their dreams.

Weekend escapade

Apryl and I went to the Powerbooks warehouse sale last Saturday. I was able to buy some at a really discounted price. Their books are not like the ones in their bookstores though. I don't recognize most of it. So not so much contented with our finds, we decided to hit Powerbooks Greenbelt. But before we could even reach Greenbelt, we visited NBS and Powerbooks Glorieta and made some more purchases. Afraid that we might overspend, we decided not to go to Powerbooks Greenbelt anymore. Hehe!

We had lunch at Heaven and eggs Glorietta. I had cheese and onion soup and Country fried chicken and eggs with mashed potato and pancakes on the side. The food is yummy, truly heavenly. Apryl described it to be sinfully good.ü

On Sunday, it was bonding time with Sykes friends. Fides invited us at their place for an afternoon merienda. She prepared pasta and chicken. Anne bought a chocolate cake. We did the usual stuff – update each other with what’s going on with our own teams and lives.

After that, Anne and I went to mass then watched Babel in Greenbelt. Though it was categorized to be an action movie, it was still heavy. There's just too much tragedy for one family. On the other hand, I was touched by the man's refusal to accept payment for his help. It gives me hope that there are still those people who help unconditionally.
