planet killer

Taken and PSA

My father insisted I watch the movie taken... it is about a pair of young ladies abducted while they were on vacation in Paris and to be trafficked as sex slaves. Lots of action and fight scenes and the movie gives a chilling look into the reality of trafficked women.



On that note, this is a public service announcement in that line and looking at it really disturbed me... the truth is shocking

I Am Elena :



Emma Thompson stars in this PSA targetting sex slavery entitled “I Am Elena”. Thompson narrates in two different voices, an innocent girl, and an abused prostitute (who turn out to be one and the same). Thompson has been involved with this cause for years through the Helen Bamber Foundation.

starry starry night

A starry night gleams above Owachomo Bridge in Utah's Natural Bridges National Monument—named the first Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA). "Here you see something forgotten," says ranger Scott Ryan, "and reconnect with the sky."

someone comes along

they are not better,

they are just DIFFERENT...

energo bunny

so as i was crossing the street, this cute little brown stuffed bunny peered at me from the back of the taxi cab

keeping warm

as i ungainly slipped out of my car after a mad rush to beat the clock, i spotted these 2 streetchildren sleeping at the foot of the skywalk. makes you stop and think... and be thankful to have a relatively blessed life..

product of boredom

too much time on my hands while on duty.. scribbles and twisted paperclip and voila!!!

duty calls

this is what sunrise looks like from the view of our bus:


the view from the balcony of the birthing center looks out to this half-done structure where poor
people have made into their makeshift home... beyond that is the mactan chanel


the flotilla carrying the statuette of some patron saint for the upcoming fiesta :

Who is my soulmate??

sometimes, i don't know how i end up picking certain books over a thousand different books in the bookstore only to have them seem to talk to me..

its like i am wondering about something and then i absentmindedly pick up some book and BAM!!!! stuff like that is written at the back of the book..

a mouse in the house

okay so we saw this itty-bitty gray mouse in the louver of the aircon in our classroom.. kinda cute but yucky!

stone's throw from the temple

an evening outside my grandma's house... sunsets are beautiful..

reminds me of the quote

the sunset is a lot colorful than sunrise.

and that is one of the ironies in life:

that there is actually something good in goodbyes...

view from the sanitarium...

there is beauty in the madness of it all.. daylight breaks in the horizon as we go on duty in the psychia ward..

Apgujeong - Korean Resto

One of my guilty pleasures is food. I love Korean food... or make that Dolsot Bibimbap. It is a rice topping dish that is served in a hot stone pot. I am slowly trying out all the Korean restos in town and each and every time I drop by a new place, I always check out their bibimbap.

This is the resto in SM City Cebu, Apgujeong.


Here is the dolsot bibimbap (I always forget taking a photo before mixing it all up), P260 :

Tastewise, it was so-so. The meat included was tender and I was surprised that they mixed in dried seaweed flakes (which I looove to eat). It came with 2 appetizers, non-refillable which is unlike all Korean restos I have been to which serve 6 appetizers and all are refillable. The kimchi they served I believe wasn't properly pickled and the egg appetizer was all rubbery and cold (seemed like stale ones).

And here is the Bulgogi bento, P165 :


This yellowy sheet at the bottom left is the rubbery egg I mentioned.

I don't think I will go back to this Korean resto since although the taste is okay, the value for money is not that much. I would prefer going to Yu Hee Jeon or the other Korean resto whose name I forgot.

the end of the world..not!

Supposedly, there was this text running around that there will be a huge quake that's gonna hit the Philippines today and the tropical island life that we all know would end!!!! As we were changing into our
scrub suits, some of my friends said that the ground shook... I didn't notice because I was too busy putting on my pants and wiggling into my top...

Turns out, this huge container van fell off/ jumped off the truck that was pulling it and crashed into the road beside our hospital, thus the loud crash (which I didn't notice) and the earth movement.

So... that was the closest thing to having a huge earthquake ruin our Friday.

Fight Club!

Two of my Siamese fighting fish duking it out.

Thanks to S for Annie (red). I named it Annie because it seems like an anorexic fish...I've never seen it eat the fish food I keep dropping it. Unlike my Princess Blueby who can't wait to snap at the pellets the moment they drop in her tank.

Unpacking a Reventon

Want to know what beautiful piece of work is under this fitted sheet? Could you guess?

Clue : There are only 20 of them made (and all answered for) and costs 1 million euros each.

Closer...

"If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking"
-- from the movie "Closer"

Self-centered much?

hehehe

Attack of the Nerds

As I passed by the huge glass windows of some computer/tutorial store in the mall, I saw these posters of those students who have taken Kumon training. Kumon is this some type of training in math of some sorts. As I looked closer, I realized that math geniuses can really be stereotyped. Based on the pictures they are :

1. Chinese
2. 50% probability of wearing eyeglasses
3. Guys nearly have identical hairstyles

Robot Popcorn Hawker

This cute little guy greeted me while I was getting tickets for Mamma Mia (great movie, by the way). How could I resist such a sad face (and the fact that its tempting me to buy popcorn, which I happen to loooove)?

Kylie - All I See (Dub Version)

Perfect song to zone-out to after a long, hard day...

hurt & love

"do you know what happens
when you hurt people?"

they may begin to love you less
and eventually,
they may begin to forget
that they loved you once..

tnx kat

OneRepublic - Stop and Stare

Why?

Why do you always confuse me with someone else???????

Gas

What is this?

Look closely... what do you think is this and that brown thingie on the side?


Answer : This is the "speak-on-the-box-to-order" at McDonald's. That brown thingie is a teensy-weensy frog. How and why it came to be there is a mystery!!!

books

Two visually appealing books that caught my attention in National Bookstore.





Interesting book...heheh I could add this to my collection.











Not straight enough? Not gay enough? Buy this book to make you man gay enough to be cute...but not gay-gay brokeback mountain gay. Just gay enough.

And again, I could use this book!

Zohan!

Koreans..are Hot!!!!

Literally, they are so hot, they are up in flames!!!!!! Here's a photo of a frazzled group of Koreans and resto staff trying to keep the hotness down. hahaha


I was having one of those early dolsot bibimbap dinners when this scene happened. The on-table burner for the yakiniku was shooting up flames.. I think because one of them inadvertently spilled oil or something volatile on it..

stop & stare

While I was malling, I came across this lady who was such a headturner. She was so tall, slim and fair-haired... she made me think of how angels probably looked like.

We've Got Chemistry!

Alms & Coke

As I went out of the mall, this beggar and child was positioned in the middle of the skywalk.. I walked hurriedly past them but decided to turn back and take a quick photo.

It serves as a grim reminder of how poverty is so prevalent in our country... and that those of us who have roofs over our heads and 3 meals a day should remember that we are the lucky ones.

my salvation?

I was browsing through shelves of second-hand books in one of the mall shops when I chanced upon this stack :

I am a self-confessed carbohydrate addict... it made me wonder if that book would have helped me control the addiction. heheh

something blue and fishy

I saw him/her/it while me and my cousin were exploring the strange and surprising world that is called "downtown". It was swimming along a small plastic cup being hawked by a sidewalk vendor and I just couldn't take my eyes off it... The photo (blame it on my cameraphone, again!) doesn't do it any justice... The color is a beautiful iridescent blue that transitions to a violet near its head. And look at those lovely fins... they look like those floaty dresses!!

i love post-its!!!

Sometimes, when I'm absolutely bored, or tired or some other draining emotion... a fantastic or weird idea pops into mind. Here is one in action..heheh Stuck on my gf's car window (surprise! surprise!!)

identity vs. role confusion

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

San Remegio, after sunset

I'm not much of a traveler, but somehow, my current priority in life takes me to those out of the way places where I'd normally not go riding transportation I'd normally won't be riding (trisikad, anyone?).

Here is one of my groupmates in one of those rare times wherein we just get to chill out and relax... and eat (sorry, no food pictures).

the world is awesome

The view from up here

Yup, this was my view all the way from the 5th floor. I got bored and decided to look out the window. It was a fabulous sunny day (though it may not look quite so... blame it on my cameraphone). The city's skyline is still sparse and uncluttered with high-rise buildings.. we are still in the probinsya..

Dinorrific T-rex

Look at those steely, unflinching eyes and the hungry open mouth... reminds me of someone..hehe

Hello* Kitty! Chocolates

This photo was taken in the Cream and Bake bakeshop/restaurant along A.S Fortuna St. There are supposedly marshmallows inside but I never got to find out since I didn't buy one. They look deliciously tempting though..

Beautiful video clip!
