Weekend in bullets
- Watched Sherlock Homes. Brilliant actors, must-see film. I am looking forward to seeing the sequel.
- I found myself wanting to join the children’s mass again. So I did. I became a little emotional when the children sung Shine Jesus Shine. I felt like transported to World Youth Day in 1995. It is a wonder how one song can affect you so much, that would make you think of places, people you met/have been with (I wonder where they are now. And do they think of me, too? Hahaha!), relive selected memories and experiences, etc. in a time warped phase. And that does not happen everyday.
- Spent another day in Ikea to complete my dining table paraphernalia. I did not think it would be that difficult to match all those plates, table runner, etc. with a black and white motiff. It looks like a fusion of Japanese-Chinese-Korean setting.
- Bought a painting (with a woman meditating on it) from Bayti (Arabic term for house). This now regales my living room. I still need to frame a couple of self-taken photos. They did not make it on time for the housewarming.
- Yes, I moved in to a bigger flat because I got bigger. Hahaha. I mean, I moved to a nicer place. The past weeks were very exhausting. But finally, almost everything is at the proper corners already.
- Yesterday, the housewarming was a success. My guests left with a happy heart and tummy (buttered crabs, my infamous lumpiang shanghai, menudo, etc.) Thanks for coming friends. And for the gifts.
- Only yesterday I got the several mails sent to me last month, including the greeting cards sent by blogger pals (you know who you are). Incidentally, I have changed my address. Much thanks!
i loved sherlock holmes, too! jude law and robert downey jr. together? elementary, my dear watson…it’s a sure hit! oh you must share your new mailing address so i can send you my lucy the elephant postcard…or have i already sent you that one?

No, I haven’t “seen” the elephants yet.

.-= fortuitous faery´s last blog ..Sherlock’s Justification =-.
Yes I loved Sherlock Holmes too. I’m looking forward to the sequel.

i like the idea of the bullets LOL. i have only seen the trailer of sherlock holmes. i do want to watch it, lalo na at recommended mo pa ngayon LOL congrats on the new flat.
.-= PM´s last blog ..Move Out Big Brother =-.
do you have a picture of the painting you bought? a meditating woman – it sounds interesting. i collect paintings myself.
.-= Angeli´s last blog ..Arrival =-.
Thanks everyone. I’ll try to take pictures, including the painting (for Angeli).
Saw Sherlock’s preview. You’re right with the acting as Downey won a Golden Globe. (Pero I still don’t like him…ewan ko ba!).
Looking forward to seeing photos of your new home. And boy did I hear my stomach grumble with your housewarming menu!
.-= Nebz´s last blog ..Divine Friday =-.
naunahan mo pa ako sa Sherlock Holmes. Looks like Robert Downey bagged the Golden Globe for his role in the movie. Mapanood nga
that’s one thing i have to get ready and plan for – housewarming. might take me months before i even have the time. i still need lots of stuff for my place, but in due time.
warm wishes to your new home.
.-= kayni´s last blog ..Changes =-.
I had a housewarming party too last Saturday, actually the third one
. I know I moved last August, but still throwing party for the house. We had a cocktail party so the guests left the house really happy. And yeah we made sure there are designated drivers 
Congratulations on your new digs.
