|| cappuccino frost : la marea, crossroads

i hate routines 

but it seems that me and warren have one little routine 

before stepping into the office.

we pass by la marea in crossroads for coffee ---- always!

it's where we do our unofficial affairs

that we know we won't be able to do once in the office.

i guess, it's where we find peace before the chaos that is work.

plus! la marea's internet is quite fast, so things get done faster!

the usual la marea favorite is their warm brownie cup,

we order that sometimes but it could get filling especially right before lunch.

so, while warren gets his usual brewed coffee,

i alternate between their cappuccino frost on hot & sunny days {which is more often}

and twinning's four red fruits hot tea on cold & rainy days.

i love coffee, 

that i used to drink three to four cups a day.

used to, because right now, since a couple years ago,

i am limited to a cup in the morning.

any more or any later than that,

i will be up till the sun rises the next day.

insomnia sucks!

anyways, even with a start-of-day routine

i am happy to say that after office activities always has different s**ts on different days.

proof enough that we are still not stuck in a rut!

for this day, it was a movie date for "bourne legacy" as promised,

after i flaked out on warren last sunday when we were supposed to watch it with his friends.

of course, before the movie is dinner… mongolian style!

kublai khan it is…

i can talk about the movie, but there's not much to say…

not that it was bad, just that it wasn't much to rave about.

it did show the worst of the philippines,

which made me cringe, sorry but that's the truth!

but nevertheless, it still made me proud 

that somehow we were chosen to be a setting for a hollywood film

when they could have done it somewhere else.

am wearing something i thought was casual enough for the movies

and maybe fancy enough for dinner & maybe drinks afterwards…

"The Dark Knight Rises" - the third and last installment {so they say}

of BATMAN Dark Knight premiered yesterday

and my geeky-comic-freak husband needs to watch ASAP!

the movie proved to be worth it,

though personally i still liked the first installment better. 

{the one with the late heath ledger as the joker}

this one was way too long {two hours and thirty minutes} that i got really sleepy

but it was interesting enough that i really struggled to open my eyes.

after the movie we needed to grab dinner,

first choice was IRIE but it was almost ten in the evening 

that they ran out of their specialties,

so we ended up at ARMY NAVY.
it was only my second time here, 
their food is not bad but not that good either.
i mean, it's not something that you actually crave for.
i know a lot of people love it here, and i'm not one of them.
it's just that i've tasted better burritos and burgers.

we stayed awhile longer at army navy, just talking.
no more drinks after that…
so we headed straight home before twelve midnight.

and now, its almost three in the morning 

and i'm very much tied to editing the design of this blog…

no major alterations though, just adding a few widgets here & there.

yet it's proving to be a bit challenging with my little knowledge of html & what-nots!

and warren had to comment, it seems i will never be done editing details in this blog…

ughhhhhh… maybe… or i'll try…

can't look you in the eye

~ top & skirt : PROPS

it was a strange day at the office…

two can't-look-you-in-the-eye moments with clients in a span of 2hrs!

the first one was dumbfounding!

but something i can't talk about publicly, 

{sorry}

the second one was quite sad…

it pains me talking to a teary-eyed bride and trying to explain to her

why her wedding invites were not ready yet.

what's worst, i had no freakin' idea what happened to the account

and the point person was on leave and wasn't answering any of our calls!

i couldn't even apologize to her just yet, 

i really couldn't look her in the eye!

i was scrambling for options on how to improvise her invite design

 so she can get at least twenty sets for her mom to bring

on a provincial trip this morning.

the heavens were in my favor!

i got her to smile even if it was after almost an hour, 

we were able to provide her with the initial twenty she badly needed

and somehow, changed the whole look of her invite,

which was actually better than the first

and she was happy with it.

full delivery will be next week, as promised, i'll make sure of that!

oh well, i guess that should count as

another day's work…

tnt!
