Gym Buff No More

Posted on: 29th of November 2008 | Under: Fashion & Beauty

Back in Manila, I enjoyed going to the gym a lot. I would go mostly after work hours at least three times a week. Somehow going to Body Jam classes (yay dancing!) and doing extra work out after became a great stress-reliever. I didn’t have to refer to any Hydroxycut hardcore review to be able to follow a workout routine, because the cardio from Body Jam was enough to keep me fit.

I just finished my second week at work, and I realized that I need to do some workout (even light workout will do), in order to feel more relaxed and rejuvenated the following day. I really need to get off my butt and strive to become more fit again. =P

Clinique Freebies

I signed up for the Clinique mailing list when I bought my foundation last month, and to my surprise, I received a card in the mail a few days ago. In it was a coupon for some free goodies.

I picked up these free babies at the Clinique counter in Bugis Junction today:

A Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Blushing Nude and a small tube of 7-Day Scrub Cream.

I love free stuff! =)

Photography

I’m not a professional photographer. In fact, my knowledge in taking photographs is actually quite limited. But, I still like taking photos anyway. I think that with digital cameras around (SD and compact flash cards too), a lot of people, including myself, have already developed a strong liking for it.

The popularity of toy cameras (lomo love!) has also added my fondness for it, because I enjoy the thrill of snapping away and being wonderfully surprised with the developed films.

I haven’t touched my toys in months. My Polaroid cam is back in Manila, while my Holga and Vivitar are just sitting in my electronics drawer. I should really take them out one of these days.

Back to Manual Drafting

Posted on: 24th of November 2008 | Under: Artsy Pantsy, Geek Talk

I haven’t touched a T-square or any other drafting material in over two years. I have already shifted to using AutoCAD, because it’s really a whole lot easier and faster to use. But, now I’m back to the old-school manual drafting, because my new work doesn’t have a licensed copy of AutoCAD yet.

I have been reconnected with my lovely drafting supplies: triangles, scales, tech pens, clutch pencils, rulers, etc. (no horse supplies). It was fun for the first few days, but the whole process has become quite a tiresome job already. Changes to the floor plans and detailed drawings are being made every single day, and being able to alter them with a few clicks on the computer is just so much more efficient than having to re-do an entire drawing manually.

Gigs and Photos

Posted on: 20th of November 2008 | Under: Entertainment, Life & Love

Tagged along for EN-X’s gig last Saturday. They opened for an event where several hardcore “screamo” bands performed. Their songs are more on the alternative side, so being at an event where bands prefer “screaming” to actual singing was maybe not the best idea. The crowd wasn’t as enthusiastic as we had hoped. But we had fun anyway. We headed off to a small BBQ get-together with other local bands somewhere in East Coast after. Booze, food and meeting new people. XD

Here’s a photo of JR and I prior to their gig. I love how posing with the right angle hides the fact that I am quite big now. Haha! I have ballooned since I arrived in Singapore. Blame it on the yummy food, but hopefully my work will actually help get me back into shape (no diet pills, please).

I’ve been very exhausted lately, so I have yet to upload the rest of the photos on multiply or facebook. Will do so maybe on Sunday, when I have my day off from work. =)

Gmail Themes

Check out my new Gmail theme:

The colors are so dainty that it makes me want to run out to get some ice cream. =P Hopefully they’ll offer more themes, or maybe allow customizable themes in the future as well. :)
