350

I’m extending the deadline of my own challenge.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s stupid to create a deadline yet extend it in the end. But what the heck, things beyond my control just started happening. I was stuck in a stupid them-world. Needless to say, I forgot that I’m supposed to make myself happy.

Also, just to make things more frustrating [i.e. if I fail, which I hope I wouldn’t], I’m adding several things on my list.

The new deadline: December 16 [The 350th day of the year]

Inked

No mom, that’s not a tattoo. An artist just spilled ink on my ankle and it hurt a lot.

Tee-hee. Yes, I finally got one and it feels so damn great! I’ll post a blog entry about that ouchy experience soon. :))

Coffee, Art, and Love

It was my fifth Java Jazz moment, and I was with Hun each time. We consider this as our café now, a place we’d always visit every time we’re in Tagaytay. We always always have a great time when we’re there. We’ve seen and met the owners (Tita Issa and Sir Red), and we also met their son Angelo, who, as Hun puts it, could be the most humble person we’ve ever met so far.

I’m glad that Hun and I have that one fantastic place where we could spend hours admiring art pieces, drinking coffee, eating good food, talking to the friendly staff, and just appreciating each other’s company.  *sigh* :)

I Scream!

#1 (coffee almond ice cream) and #30 (a surprise)

My office friend, Yhow, decided to surprise me and Yayi with ice cream. BUT that wasn’t the only surprise that beautiful Firday afternoon. Yhow, Yayi, Charise, and Mitch also gave me a pair of—get this—eco-friendly Grendha slip-ons for my birthday. Cool, eh? ^^ Anyhow, yes I previously blogged about how I hate surprises, but once it’s there, what can I do? I don’t want to remember that moment, though. I must’ve said stupid things. Okay, I really don’t want to think about it.

Paul Calvin’s

#23 (a bowl of delicious soup)

Paul Calvin’s potato leak soup is heaven on a bowl. It’s so good you’d want the flavor to last on your tongue.
