Last night, I joined several officemates to celebrate the birthday of one of our Sirs from where I do my 8-hour grind.

Cake not from me: "Happy Birthday Bby, Q"

Local Scenery

If not for the long queue for box-office hit du jour This Guy's In Love With U Mare! last weekend, we won't have got cold feet to watch the movie which was being shown only in one of the four cinemas in SM Naga.

But alas, it was only until last Monday night that we (me-co-worker tandem) caught up the comedrama. That's exactly what the plot of the loosely No Other Woman-based parody is. For the most part of the exposition, the usual smile-smirk-chuckle-snicker-laugh- worthy antics and lines fit for a categorically comedy movie were naturally present; then, after an hour or so, there came in that point of the story with the dose of drama element, see also as: reality-kicking-in phase, among the characters of Vice Ganda, Toni Gonzaga and Luis Manzano.

At the end of the movie, I had to tell to my companion, (in Bikol-Filipino,) "I can say, the trailer alone could show anyone the whole Love Triangle Story and where it would most probably lead to."

Let's talk more *local* movies

I'm not left-handed but..

While the raket science is on the works, I have been doing a new work on the sideline.

Full disclosure: Some Saturdays ago, a good friend told me about a start up social enterprise to be relaunched. After which, I did a research (read: Google grind) and days later I messaged the team head (who I know from college). In short, I applied to be of help to this start-up. I wanted to do the marketing or the creative side of the biz . Minutes later, I got the good tidings: I am IN. Yet alas, I was assigned into vamping Product Design! Right then, there was a teeenie-weenie bit of setback that ensued. How will I "design" backpacks?

But after convincing myself more pre-orientation, a week ago, with the two persons taking care of the production side, to which I have become a welcome addition, the question now is, Who knew I would be "designing" backpacks? My imagination is good.

Really, with no track record of having tapped my "design skill", I couldn't believe that here I am into channeling my right side of the brain into knapsacks.

Hello there nights, since I have a day job, of putting ideas into paper by drawing/sketching/what-have-you!

Sigh

After reading this, I can now assume that I am so missing out on the "Perks" movie talks since it hasn't been shown yet in theaters locally (by that, meaning my current location: Naga City/Camarines Sur a.k.a. apparently the capital of the 2013 Mid-term Elections).

Raketeer On the Rise

Last August, a friend and I started a Polvoron venture -- I sell the polvs, as we hypocoristically call it, mostly in the office I'm working at (I have a day job) and to relatives for the dirt cheap price of Php 2.00/each only! Dirt cheap, right?!

And now we are ready for more! I have always wanted to do this raket to fill in the void in this part of the country. But it wasn't feasible.. not yet: friend's family once owned a *hint!* pastries business but their panaderya-level ovens are now too scary to turn on and as for me, our lowly oven is somewhere in our dirty kitchen sitting to rust.

Enter friend's cousin who has interest in *hint, hint!* baking. So during the Peñafrancia Fiesta long weekend, there was a bake-off-like scene in friend's cousin's house, and boy, tastings commenced, my sweet taste buds and throat were already screaming "Stop this abuse!" Hehe.

Commence baby steps!

P.S. Happy October to y'all!
