Fernando zobel de ayala at the 21st ad congress.

The prizes, free stuff and pizzaz are considerably less but for me, this is still one fun shindig. I haven't won anything yet but i still have 2 more days to learn, mingle and party here, so i'm pretty sure i'll be going home with even just a minor prize. My favorite local band, sandwich, played at the phil star lunch party. They're awesome! I so miss my boys na, especially my butchik.

Last night, I watched 500 Days of Summer on my car's DVD.  I wasn't able to finish it coz I reached home, like 3/4 through the movie.  So this morning, as I drove to work, I watched the remaining 1/4.  It wasn't a spectacularly good movie, it was even a bit boring. But in an odd kind of way, I found it entertaining, and the movie they watched -- Vagiant? Super!  Lol.

500 Days... is a simple boy-meets-girl story with a twist.  Boy falls in love with the quirky girl, but girl, named Summer, just played him (haha, he broke up with him and married someone else, like way too fast!).  But like all chick flicks, it has a happy ending. After Summer, came Autumn...and she looks way hotter.

Tom, the hopelessly romantic lead guy in the movie, asked Summer (on the 436th day or something), how come a girl like her who doesn't want to be someone's girlfriend (but they did date and got jiggy, so they were like an item -- friends with benefits -- for 380 days or so) ended up to be someone's wife and she said, because she found the one.  Tom's reaction was amazing, he just sat there and took it like a man when Summer told him, "I just wasn't sure with you." 

It's so sad (and probably devastating) when the one you love doesn't love you the same, or worse, just see you as a friend, but she stringed you along that you tought the feeling is mutual.  In the movie, Summer was like trying out a pair of new shoes.  She was excited at first that she often wore it, but as the days dragged on, it was becoming clear to her that the pair she had on wasn't "it" yet. Poor Tom.  I swear I'd die if I ever get worn like some pair of shoes, haha.

Who says a visit to the cemetery is boring?

It's november 2 and it's really hot and humid here at loyola marikina. But despite the heat, we're having a great time bonding. We set up a tent and brought food and game boards. The kids have their psps and mp3s so they're pretty much preoccupied. It's great that it's not raining coz it will be uncomfortable and wet, haha. I'll take hot and dry anytime. There are lots of families here. I guess, like us, they chose to go here today instead of yesterday. Traffic was terrible on our way here. But it's ok, this is one tradition that we should never forget.
