In my teenage years, *cough* made me feel old, but I’m a young adult now *cough* I used to make lots of handwritten letters and handmade gifts. Even if I had to stay up late, it didn’t stop me to work on each piece. Stumbling on crafts while doing syndication tasks made me interested to unleash whatever creativity again. Let’s start with something easy – origami.
The morning of New Year’s Eve, we went over to mom’s house and I jokingly suggested we watch a movie. I remember when we were younger, my mom and my step-dad would bring us to the mall during Christmas and New Year. We would watch one MMFF entry, play at World’s of Fun and eat at the food court or fast-food.
My brother was thinking it was a joke when she agreed. But mom already scheduled it. He only believed it when she said she already bought the tickets, 30 minutes before our agreed meeting time. 🙂
After an early morning start, spending a few hours in my mom’s apartment and strolling in the mall, I’m back home early to avoid accidents. I admit I love fireworks but I don’t want to be near them and I don’t like the loud noise. Anyway, I started typing this at 1830, making it 4.5 hours away before we welcome 2013. Until then, let me take this time to look back at 2012.
Looking for a dual SIM, QWERTY phone that’s designed for the socially active without breaking the bank? The first to have a dedicated Facebook button feature, Nokia Asha 205 Dual SIM is now available for purchase in the Philippines.
I’m usually on-the-go and most of the time it’s a must for me to bring along my laptop, Neo. Sadly, not every corner in the city has an outlet that you can readily plug into when you really need it. Same thing goes for my smartphone, Shaylee. Using wifi/3G takes a toll in battery consumption, not to mention when I take pictures during events, listen to music on the road or verify my location/destination via maps. Well, good thing that’s about to change with Phorce.
Who would have thought that a week before this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, I was lucky to be invited to the movie press con of the latest adventure filled chapter on the life of Enteng Kabisote: “Si Agimat, Si Enteng at Si AKO“. 🙂
One of the quirky traditions before New Year comes is cleaning. My grandma never fails to remind us to start disposing things we don’t use anymore and to sort out which of our clothes will be taken of the cabinet.
To enjoy the upcoming festivities, I started early.
Philippines is known to have the longest Christmas season in the world, as ours starts when the -ber months roll in. Expect a colorful and festive mood in everyone, traffic and almost every week mall sales included. One of the things I look forward to every year is the Dancing Lights and Sounds Show in Makati.
