When East meets West in the cinema

The buy 1 take 1 promo of HSBC is still ongoing.

Every minute of my most current Saturday seemed so precious. I had take-home office work meant to be sorted that day. But for some valid reasons, we had to drop by in Marina Mall to buy something. Since we were in, I insisted that we check Twilight movie’s screening schedule. Its international release is on November 21, to be shown in some countries a little late. However, screening for UAE is not in the site. The Cinema Officer claimed that still there’s no further announcement. It’s going to be shown, but not in their calendar yet. Just make sure, huh. It’s giving me worries, really. Please. Do.not.make.me.cry.

Incidentally, High School Musical 3 (HSM 3) was on its third day screening. The queue was more than for a box office. When I learned that it would be shown only for a week (ending this Wednesday), we decided last minute to catch it. So there, my Saturday became a little out of balance. As expected, I stayed so late for the paper work, with reasonable cramming on the side. Sometimes, it feels good to have your life out of direction.

1001 letters from J

1001lettersfromJ

Over time I have preferred to organize and record stuff online. Especially that in my profession, working papers documentation, its review and file exchanges are all happening electronically. We hardly write in the paper itself. However, there are things that will never be beaten through time. One of those is scribbling in a notebook. (I’m about to lose another bit of my anonymity).  In fact, I’m working on my 1001 Letters from J.

Sweet competition and copycats

ferrero rocher and solden diamond compared

Two weeks ago, I scouted a copycat of Ferrero Rocher, named Diamond by Solen.  It has the same packaging, including the mini-labels and foil wrappers of Diamond which has a brown twirl.  One glaring difference is that Diamond is almost 25% cheaper than Rocher.  As you can see in the fourth photo, without the wrappers, they’re almost the same.  The one in the left is a Diamond, right is a Rocher.  If you want to spot based on down wraps, Diamond has a swirl, Rocher has a letter (e.g. N, E, etc.).

Bookmarks and my old Science project

card from sheng

Early this week I’ve got a mail from General Santos. It’s from Sheng, my first ever creative swap partner. She sent me a thank you card for the goodies I sent her last month. To my delight, enclosed are three pretty customized bookmarks. That meant replacing the bookmark I got from the Picasso Exhibit. These self-made bookmarks are priceless. And that leaf-like one is my favorite (at the middle).
