trick or treat

the kids are growing up really fast! the sis co-organized a trick or treat event at her condo and everyone took it very seriously. apparently the best dressed girl came as Cleopatra from top to bottom and best dressed boy came as the Hulk, he was completely covered in green body paint. wow! these days competition is stiff man! haha. anyways, Happy Halloween people!

make(up) me an anchor!

i had to do a shoot for an internal marketing video today in the office. the videographer sent me to the newsroom make up artist for some touch up before he felt i was good enough for the camera. turns out, everyone said i looked like a news anchor. i guess it was some standard newscaster make up she put on me today. anyways, it was a fun experience and i really would not mind if i have someone helping me with my makeup everyday!!

tokyo-kyoto-osaka

and so i went to japan from Oct 11th to Oct 19th. for some reason Japan - 没有 feel. not sure if it was the company or the itinerary or the lack of interest in Japanese food and culture or simple TOO TIRED FROM WORK? haha. 就是没有 feel.

我被"包"了

this is the end of my 无敌海景 for the next N months, zzz... well, at least this 1981 building is now finally getting a well deserved makeover. i hope they will renovate the lift and lobby too! in the meantime, keep windows closed and blinds drawn!

amy say: "cannot"

simple things that make me happy #13

my first time finish "chopping" a loyalty card!!

diving in malapascua cebu island

i felt a little nervous prior to this trip to be honest, because it was such a long time since i last dived and i have never dived without mel by my side. thank god for the great recommendation we had wilmar from exotic dive as our DM. he was the best!

this is the infamous Thresher Shark that we have come all the way for. we saw a total of 5 sharks in 2 sightings. the sharks were swimming really close to us on our second sighting.

malapascua is such a small island such that everyone we met was either wilmar's friends or cousins or neighbours! they took us around the island on their bikes for just a small fee and it was really fun. i have always loved riding on bikes.

wilmar was sporting enough to strike a cheesy pose with us.

beautiful sunset behind us marks an enjoyable end to our trip.

was a great decision to dive this time. weather, accommodation, food and people were all good here. and it is to Philippines - a country i have never visited. i hope to keep visiting places i have never been!
