flippin’ pages, munch punch, & whatever else

Poor budgeting skills equals no Alice in Wonderland [3D] treat this weekend. I’ll just have to endure people around me buzzing about it, FB posts quoting the Red Queen, etc.

I set the alarm at 4am this morning. I don’t think I missed it, I think it didn’t go off. We made it for the 7:20am flight, waking up at 6am. Don’t ask me if I took a bath. I brushed my teeth. Sometimes, that should be enough.

Scouring Booksale at LCC in Legazpi, I was in glee as I grabbed copies of:

The Hours|Michael Cunningham @ P45

 

My Life in France|Julia Child @P10 (yes, a meager ten pesos for a hardbound edition)


 The Bell Jar|Sylvia Plath @P115

I gave The Hours copy to Jonna & then we headed to this cool gift shop, oddly situated in Daraga. (The neighboring shops aren’t as trendy). It was, surprisingly a haven of chic apparel, bags, accessories & gift ideas. I had my eye on 3 out of 5 items I scanned off the shelf. Holy mother of Coco Chanel, I was so much in love with this grey bag, leatherette material; this hand-painted sneakers, the grey ankle boots, the studded flats, the cool printed tees…

Bummer, I only have enough moolah for sustenance. I wish i could just flip a switch in my body & I won’t need food to function.



Shop name: Hearts & Crafts - HNC.

We had dinner at the Colonial Grill. It’s fast becoming one of my fave munch punches because of the Tinutong-flavored ice cream. [I still have to muster enough gastronomic courage to try the Malunggay-flavored & the Sili-flavored ice cream. negotiations with my taste buds are underway]

Enough of the material girl alter, here’s the real Kettie Koala kickin’ in.

Let’s talk about The Hurt Locker.
It rocks.
Good job K. Bigelow, J. Renner & the gang.

Back then I sometimes had trouble remembering names; even celebrity names. On Hugh jackman’s pre-Logan fame, I mix up his name like Jack Hughman.

when I told this story to my V(R), he suggested a mix-up of Nicole Kidman– KidNi Coleman. And I’d laugh each time it crosses my mind. Thanks V! 

(I also got this dyslexia on this name: Ross Gavindale ~ Gavin Rossdale) lol!

I just love the Robert Downey Jr. - Tina Fey presentors partner-up.

Mom baked banana cake topped with almonds AND walnuts (nuts purchased in Qatar possibly shipped from elsewhere & brought here by Ate Tin. my new friends at the office loved it. Too bad we didn’t have enough time; I told Mom I’d teach her how to blog. It’d be cool for her to post about her baking powers, I just tipped her to never reveal her secrets :)

V (R) loved mom’s banana cake! yey.

Back to work, err… training… err… Free surfing minus the *goodstuff.
