Still hoping to visit my favorite city again

maan at notre dame, paris

I was just on the phone with Bebeth, my lawyer friend and like me a lover of Paris. She asked if I watched the last episode of Sex in the City but said I didnt. The reason she asked was because of the scene shot in Paris. We both miss the city and wish one day soon we both can visit again. The photo shown here was taken by bebeth when we were there last March 2002.

I told her to watch Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson. I loved the sound track, mostly french music and most specially the scene at the end shot in Paris.

At the Candelaria track

Tess Arnel and I at the railroad track in Candelaria, Quezon

When Arnel, Tess and I visited quezon a few months ago, we decided to try the makeshift mini train powered manually :)

We were wondering what happens when another such vehicle comes from the opposite route. There was only one track. True enough after a few minutes there came one. Apparently we had to give way to the one coming back. We all had to alight and the operator manually brought down the wooden shaft to give way. We tried helping him but it became more complicated so he did it himself.

Was truly an exciting experience asking him a couple of times to stop so we can take photos :)

First day of work after Christmas day

Had always wanted to regularly post a blog but my various activities prevented me to do so. I noticed I tried creating a couple of them but it ended with just creation or one post . I guess I will try to post something more often. A good outlet, channel to share thoughts and even refresh my memory after a period.

After work, I decided to go to Shoe Mart to finally buy something for myself. I dont think I even bought new clothes last christmas so for the first time in two years I decided, what the heck I need to enjoy my earnings. I think I purchased around six blouses mostly linen.

Another reason I went to Shoe Mart is to buy some table silvers after what happened last christmas day. Well since mom passed away, we never really held parties or had lots of guests for meals. We were never able to open the buffet cabinet where all the utensils of mom were kept. The few silvers we had, some of the past helpers must have stolen so when dad's relatives all of sudden appeared, a truckload of them, gosh we didnt have enough spoon and fork! I knew I kept some new ones in my room but for some reason just could not find them. I then proceeded to buy several dozens of spoons, forks, teaspoons, servings spoons and dishes etc.

Since I had my regular bout of allergies esp after cleaning my room finally last weekend, I bought some oranges - the ponkan and sunkist variety. Got an electric juicer for the condo so I can make my own juice. The manual juicer is out of stock.

Since I finished my ponkan supply in the condo, I went to Rustan right before it closed to buy some more plus some sunkist. Took my dinner at yum yum tree. The driver fetched dad and lina at the condo while I took dinner. As usual I arrived almost closing time so I was the last customer before the supermarket finally closed.
