An Affair.

I think I have an affair. I have been slowly falling in love...
with DAKKI!!!

>>>>>>>>>>
He's the sweetest and cutest dog (next to my Barbie of course). Oh my! Am I just a dog lover? Or maybe Dakki is just so sweet.

Well let me share to you when this affair happened. I met him last year. He was recovering from all the doggy sickness. He was not cute then I tell you! haha Then as months passed by, Dakki grew his hair and he was happy and playful. Back to being happy and playful I guess. Probably because his hair is all back! Whenver I come over to Dadoo's place, most of the time Dakki was there. Well that is because his parents leave him there when they are out. Dakki is one sweet dog. He plays with you. When you carry him, oh he will surely love it. He cuddles. He likes that. Haha!!! Most days, Dakki smells good.hehe Sooo cute. He even tries to jump! hahaha! He loves adobo and he loves all the pillows in the living room! He was partly my date last Valentine's. Hehehehe ♥

Hmm... I think that is how the affair started. I just cannot help it. Dakki is just soooo cute and sweet! *I hope Barbie does not hear about this, tsk tsk tsk! Shhhh!!! Don't tell Barbie. Waaaaa

Letters.

I am a big fan of making letters and receiving one. I love it! I think it gives you a sense of personal touch, a certain connection from the sender because you know that you were given that "time" of that "person" just to make you that "letter".

It really does not have to be long or perfect in grammar. It does not require an occasion to make one, any day is perfect. As a matter of fact, any letter is perfect as long as it was made out of sincerity. I personally like making letters because I like to express myself that way. It has my personal touch (plus I get to use the nicest paper and nicest pen from my collection =D). Especially the fact that you froze that certain moment. It just feels different when you pour your heart out in handwritten letters with pen and paper as your gadgets as opposed to texting or email-ing. Although it is convenient and accessible, it loses its personal touch. Maybe because you cannot hold on to it like in handwritten letters. Nothing beats the old school way of making letters. Probably because I grew up this way, or maybe I got it from my Dad. It could be in my genes or it could be just me. Whatever it is, I love it.

Having read the blog of my friend recently, I realized that although we were miles apart, in the midst of her "trials", when she read my letter, it suddenly made her feel good somehow, for her to take the time to read it again and write about it on her blog, it sure was like a happy feel-good pill I assume. It was like I was there with her all of a sudden. Nice to know that my letter made a difference to her, that it helped her in some way. It probably was a good letter because she brought it with her when they moved, so I am flattered, very flattered that even after so many years, it still has that certain magic, to her at least. It was such a nice compliment.

Expressing myself through pen and paper have always been a good way, mostly. With that being said, I will never stop making letters for the people that I love and care about and I will of course gladly appreciate receiving one as well. It just feels like I'm back to being a child again. It's a good feeling. I like it.=)

Confessions of Charla.

*** ATTENTION: This entry contains some spoiler if you haven't read all of Rebecca Bloomwood's adventure.

It was a night of high expectations. I watched the movie version of Confessions of a Shopaholic the other day with Dadoo and some friends. It was a nice film, I did enjoy Isla Fischer’s portrayal of Rebecca Bloomwood. She was all cute and funny just like how the movie went and I enjoyed it.

However, I dislike the way the movie turned out. Only because I am a big fan of Sophie Kinsella’s books and I know pretty well how the story went. There were inaccuracies in the characters and in the story itself. Becky Bloomwood was British for God's sake and it was a BLUE Denny and George scarf not green. Luke Brandon was perfectly handsome and rich and successful in the book, I do not understand why they changed it. He is a rich PR CEO because he owns Brandon Communication and is not working at Successful Savings as an editor. Derek Smeath did not humilate Becky. Alicia was Luke's employee and not some rival of Becky (like the way they have put it) or Luke's love interest. And oh my! Where the bloody hell is Sacha? Aaargghhh!!! And Suze was blonde, very talented in her frame making biz and uber rich. Tarkie was uber rich as well, did not have any sense of fashion and they were not suppossed to reveal that Suze and Tarkie would end up together. The supposed wedding of Suze was so intimate as based on the book but definitely not in the first book. They should have shown all the letters that Becky made to random people just so the crowd would have a feel on the real Becky Bloomwood as described by Kinsella. I personally did not like the movie because it was soo not the book anymore. They should have changed the title of the movie. It was like they only used the book's fame and they used the characters, put them in the film but with a totally different character.

The book was perfectly written by Sophie Kinsella, not to mention the way she described the characters, it was really all perfect especially the lead character Rebecca Bloomwood. There really is no need to change the story and the characters. Although the film was cute, fun and enjoyable, I think it would have gone better if they did no changes. I am such a HUGE fan of Bex that's why I am soo disappointed. :(

Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th.

In the olden days, they say that Friday the 13th is a unlucky day. But I highly doubt it now. A lot of good things in my life occurred on a Friday the 13th. Not only are those things good but they also changed my life totally.



So this time, we had dinner with our good friends, Mj and Son at Tender Bob's Promenade. It was somewhat memorable and special for me not only because it was Friday the 13th but also because it was the day before Valentine's day! I enjoyed hanging out with them. It was always fun. We talked about almost the same old stuff and of our next adventure and of our dear friend Lei, who is far from us. How we miss her... So far, in the fast paced life we all have after college, they are the ones that we hang out most next to my best bud Apple. It was just a nice feeling! Refreshing.=)

Technomarine Cruise

I have been using my Technomarine Cruise Chrono watch for more or less 3 years now. It is my favorite wrist watch! I just change the strap and it totally has a new look! So worth every penny! Not to mention the sentimental value of this one. c",)



Out of boredom I took a macro shot of it using my Lumix LX3. Isn't it lovely? Oooh! I totally think so.:)
