This Saturday was the second of the four seminars I have to attend as a preparation for my role as lector-commentator on the liturgical celebration (mass) for September. Fr. James have been equipping us (there are five of us in the batch) on ways to become a productive member of the church.After the seminar, I headed to the mall as I haven't been there for a long time. I found out that there is a newly-opened Go Nuts Donuts near Starbucks on the lower level. Rolypoly, who had joined me that day before going to work bought me a half-dozen of doughnuts to my glee. (Earlier, I have my three pants bought on sale from Bayo altered at the hem by one of their factory workers.) Then, we checked out the newly-opened strip of restos a stone's throw away from Robinsons Nova. It was beer-drinkers-delight haven where we feasted on roasted chicken, drinks, balut, and well, doughnuts. It was the first time I saw an Andok's Manok store which caters to dine-in customers in a fully-airconditioned setting but we opted to stay outside near the lights and fountain. The next day, I attended the 9AM mass alone. And after lunch headed back to church for the PREX meeting at 2PM. Some of my batchmates from PREX 40 group did not attend. I took down minutes of the meeting and since there isn't much to discuss we only spend a few hours as we are still on the planning stage. We would be the sponsoring class for the next batch of PREX
attendees scheduled next month.After that, I dropped by the mall to get Go Nuts Donuts to personally deliver to Rolypoly's family. His dad, tita, lola and niece were there. I didn't stayed that long. Ate an early dinner of yummy sugpo and went back to the mall to join mama and Aimee on their shopping. The day was really tiring. I got myself a new pair of pants (again!). Mama got herself wardrobe-full of ensembles - shoes, pants and blouses. Talk about saving for a rainy day! On second thought, she rarely indulges on things so I'll just let her be.

{*In a NUTSCHELLE*}
Just turned 23. Not that young anymore and not too old either. One of the few reasons why she had a good excuse to mess up her life and still get away with it.
She is a self-confessed blog addict. The blog design reflects the total opposite of her personality. She is innocence personified - prim and proper, goody-two-shoes but could turn your life into a nightmare at the least provocation. Nothing is too complicated that her not-so-average mind could comprehend.
{*Profile*}
I took delight in trivial things. I could cry bucket of tears over light drama flicks while feel-good movies make me feel fuzzy all over. Despite the sheer crappiness of horror stories, I still hate those gory and morbid scenes that will leave anyone with that sick to the gut feeling. I love the sound of the waves crashing into the shore and the heavy downpours on lazy afternoons. Although i'm almost always caught with a bunch of people, I savor moments in solitude--staring into blank spaces, totally leaving the worldly troubles behind and just lingering in silence. I'm a self-confessed bargain hunter. New finds never fail to fascinate me--it make my melatonin levels shoot sky-high.
{*Career*}
Corporate girl who commutes from three to five hours on daily basis; started being a corporate slave a few weeks before graduation;
she's been working for two years; just a few months shy of getting that much-coveted MBA degree from an international academe.
She wants to carve a niche in her pursuit for world domination (as if she's bent on it!). Future career plans include being a
financial journalist or lifestyle writer; preschool teacher, etc.
{*Capricorn woman *}
The Capricorn woman has a strong ability to understand human nature the way no one else does.
She has the ability to analyze and understand any concept well and possess a good memory.
It is not easy to deceive her. She has a very business savvy nature.
Conservative by nature, prudent and economical - a Capricorn women can amass a lot of wealth in her life.
However it is also not uncommon for Capri woman to indulge in sporadic spending spree - leading to temporary financial hassles.
