Second Big Mama dinner
I had to go back to Big Mama. Their food is good and servings are quite big that I always underestimate because of the affordable price. So I went there last Saturday for dinner with the boyfriend again and invited one of my girls too. Feast! I ordered ra-bokki, while the boyfriend had samgyupsal (PhP300) and my friend had japchae (PhP200). Photo above doesn’t include the pork (or beef?–not sure) with the samgyupsal and o-deang tang. The table was almost not enough for our food. π

January highlights
Yesterday, I barely accomplished anything except something for work and paying my mobile phone bill when I was determined to do a couple of tasks. That determination is rare, you know. π That’s because the other office where I need to go every Tuesdays (until the end of the month) still hasn’t fixed their air-conditioner. The weather was warmer and more humid because of the intermittent rains, so focusing or doing anything in the already stuffy room was almost impossible. Anyway, a day late isn’t bad. π I am starting a monthly highlights in the blog that will include what I did or special occasions–Any bits that are worth sharing;…

Christmas get-togethers
I went to three Christmas gatherings this month. Yay! The office Christmas party and dinners with Team Aguhon, and Purge my best friends from high school.

On safety, family, and friends
Busy work week, but here’s a quick gratitude log. Because of the GameOPS meeting a couple of weekends ago, I got to meet the rest of the group. π #GameOPStv meeting~ XD A photo posted by John Phillips Bengero (@jepoyeng) on Nov 5, 2016 at 1:42am PDT We also got to see an ol’ friend. He’s somewhere in the photo below. π Birthday pizzaaaaa~ A photo posted by John Phillips Bengero (@jepoyeng) on Nov 5, 2016 at 4:56am PDT My Aunt told me that she became more frightened to fly as she got older and even more when she had her son. I don’t have children yet, but I can…

Gratitude Mondays: October 3
My last gratitude log was last July. I can’t believe it’s been that long! It has been difficult with all the work, family responsibilities, and online stuff. I’m aware that being grateful shouldn’t be put off. It doesn’t even require a lot of time. I need to bring back the habit of gratitude lists and better if I also do it daily in my journal. Prior drafting this, I decided for the Gratitude Mondays series that I must require myself to list at least five things . I’ll be forced to ponder over all the awesome things I should be grateful for. Honestly, I sometimes found it difficult to even…

Sleepless nights are worth it when with friends or gaming
I forgot why I missed last Monday’s gratitude log, but yesterday, besides work, I got hooked into “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23.” My Amazon delivery and pasalubong arrived too, so I was playing with them before I realized I still had something to do. Before I go to my gratitude list, I have something to say in regards to yaoifestvlogs. I did my best to regularly vlog every weekend. I still have one from the past couple of weekends, but I haven’t finished editing. I took videos with my GoPro and most of them are shaky. They make me dizzy, so the editing has been slow. Anyway, since…

Umu’s unli-sushi and wine plus my gratitude Monday
Umu A couple of weeks ago, one of my best girls and I had an unlimited sushi and drink-all-you-can wine at Umu. Umu is a Japanese restaurant in Dusit Thani Manila, which I found out to be an upgrade of the previous restaurant Benkay, with (claimed to be award-winning) traditional interior and wood furnishings — A wall widely covered with rectangular wood plates written on in Japanese with food ingredients, ropes wound on piles (can’t think of a more appropriate word), huge sake jars, and an al fresco dining area with a koi pond. If the restaurant wasn’t dim, I might have appreciated the place more. But the dim lighting…

Gratitude Monday: “Truly happy people find ways to give thanks for the little, insignificant trifles”
I’m glad I was able to start this day and work week with an early rise. π I made it to work at the proper time and was able to accomplish 90% of my tasks. I enjoy receiving messages from my Aunts abroad. I used to send snail mail to one of them when I was a li’l girl. Priorities do change as you grow old especially when there are more things you can’t or find difficult to tell your family like boy crushies or yaoi (LOL!). There’s nothing exciting with talking about school either. But as I’ve gotten older, I can relate to them in several ways. π Thanks…

Gratitude Mondays: February 22
Not forgetting today’s gratitude log! Weeeeeeee~ My parents had made it back home safely (though they will be leaving again soon). We had dinner at the re-opened and redesigned John and Yoko in Greenbelt 5. I prefer their new look than the old one. (I’ll do a quick review in the next post. :)) Accomplishing the tasks needed to be done at work and surviving while the boss was around. I mean, the work days weren’t that stressful, but just tiring especially if you’ve lost hours on weekends to work in the office. It can be draining. So, yeah, I’m grateful that’s over with even for now. An old toy…

Sleepless weekend
I was up Saturday night to Sunday morning as I watched the boyfriend and his friends play Love Letter. I think I used up all my energy until Monday evening when I really shut down after dinner. π Since I stopped bringing my Mac Air to the office, I couldn’t blog (or anything else nonwork-related) _during Pomodoro breaks_ anymore. Well, I’m not giving up on my Gratitude Mondays series. There’s always a next week. LOLOL Grateful to be appreciated for the covers I made for a project proposal submission for APEC. Getting to hang out with friends Drew and Kat last Saturday late afternoon. We haven’t hung out much even…

Vlog 20160116: The choco cocktails are a must try!
As much as I would prefer to stay in and play Battlefront all day, it’s still more fun to be with friends and loves. π I’m happy my love Phoebe asked us out.

Another Japanese dindins with friends
I have a valid excuse for not being able to post yesterday or for Gratitude Mondays — My website (or probably the server) was loading too slow. That’s not even the first time, but already several times since I switched hosts. My home connection might be a cause too, but I need to experiment further to see which is really effin’ up. Anyway, I’m not going to cheat for Gratitude Mondays by changing the date. Here’s my gratitude log.

Gratitude Mondays: December 21
I can’t believe that in four days it will be Christmas. I am now feeling the holiday season because of the activities from last week especially over the weekend. π Two from my vlog backlog were uploaded last week. I already have too much queued blog ideas and drafts that need to be published, so I hate to have another set of backlog of vlogs. ^^; Watch them here (thumbs up please if you like them and want more): Vlog 20151129: A charity gig at Sneaker Festival Vlog 2151211: Festival of Lights This might sound like I’m being lazy, but I’m grateful for the free time I’m having recently at…
