Weekend in bullets

by witsandnuts on January 17, 2010

  • 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!

Mabuti pa sila, updated palagi sa movie.

And yes, songs could move us sometimes. Mine is a love song (ang corny no!).

Kodak ka naman ng bago mong flat! : )

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!

naunahan mo pa ako sa Sherlock Holmes. Looks like Robert Downey bagged the Golden Globe for his role in the movie. Mapanood nga :)

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.
