Notting HIll, the movie

nottinghill

"I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her". Such a famous line from this hit movie several years ago.

It was just showing a while ago in ABS-CBN. Besides the fact that I remembered not seeing the first part of the movie in the cinema house, I wanted to watch something mushy right now.

I never really liked the song "She" when I heard it decades ago but when used in the movie and amidst the context of the story, it sounded so romantic.

I know I will be in for another week of corporate challenges so light movies such as this is a weekend essential.

Market! Market!

If I had time during Sundays, I go to the fiesta market part of Market! Market! to buy some organic veggies and eggs. I try to learn the South Beach recipes since my daily food deliveries from a swiss chef is becoming trop cher!

Each time I visit, I get amazed at the long line in this particular special bbq food counter. They are the only food stall with such a long queue. Must be something special plus the price. I cant taste them for my diet will be ruined.

Valentine with Mom

I knew dad bought her some anthuriums the other day so I decided to have a spray made instead. I am sure he will bring her some roses tomorrow as he has done since they met more than 50 years ago.

As in any special day I make sure I greet mom first by visiting her resting place at Heritage. I miss her a lot.

She likes white so I bought white orchids and interpersed with some red cotton- like flower whose name I cant seem to recall right now.

Happy Valentines Mommy!

Blogger land discoveries

Gosh have been discovering many things from blogs. This morning, I just found out that Dondi Mapa's grandfather was a good friend of my dad.

I read his recent blog last night and asked him this morning if his maternal grandpa has a round face and lives near malate since I used to accompany my dad in Dr. Ongpin's residence when I was a kid and he said yes its the same person! Small world.

Early this evening, I also learned that my good friend Edna also has a blog! Well she responded to my recent post in the PICS mailing list about pinoy blogs albeit done privately.

Typical of Edna she will never identify herself in her profile and will not share her url with others ha ha :) Its just so cool that it was Dennis who finally convinced her to start via an sms message. Of course her interest now was much was influenced by the Webcon on Blogging we recently held last thursday.
