streaks across my psychedelic sky

It has been a long time since I last had a post on any of my blogs nor visited any of my social networking sites. I have been pre-occupied with other things. But yesterday was a good day to get away from the home-office-home routine and have some fun at the beach despite the not-so-great weather. Storm Signal #1 was over Northern Cebu because of Frank. Read about the storm here.

I don’t have a lot of pictures because I did not bring my cam. One, I didn’t want it to get wet. Two, lately, I have been averse to toting my cam anywhere to take pics. But I had my trusted SE k610i so I was able to take some pics. Also grabbed some pics from friends. See album here.

It may still be the middle of April, but for me it already spells the end of summer. May will pass by in a rush and Hello! school rush traffic and onslaught of rains. I have no more vacation plans until maybe toward the end of the year. But I spent a really cool weekend at Warren’s Beach in San Remigio with some of the officemates.

WordPress > AJR asked me the other day if I was still going to blog here.  Well, to be honest, I have thought about closing the site since two months back.  Between the food blog (EMP), the multiply blog, learning photography and work, I just might run out of words to say.  Oh, not to mention the old-school journal.  (I never did stop writing on paper. )  But I guess I will find the time if I really want to keep this site going.  But we will see, considering there will be adjustments I have to make when I start at the new job in a few weeks.

EMP > I was busy writing posts for the food blog today but they won’t be up yet.  Not unless G adds the photos real quick.  I have mixed feelings about the direction we are headed with EMP.  Last week, G was approached by a very good friend who conveyed that the outfit she works for is interested in EMP.  On Tuesday, we had a meeting and they presented their business proposal.  It seems like we both are after the same thing so we may give it a go.  But after we have the paperwork done.  So why the mixed feelings?  Because although an event like this is always an exciting one, being a newbie at this has a drawback.  However, since the people we will be partnering with are pros at this, the excitement part stems from this fact.  So now we wait to read the paperwork.  Until then, I will try to keep this blog going as a means to get the word out for EMP and, hopefully, in the next few months or so, the new food blog.

EJ invited me to go with them - D, her hubby, and G - to Simala, Sibonga, a town south of Cebu City. Road trip! How could I say No? I got my cam ready, comfy sandals, my hat, and lathered the sunblock on really thick. I was ready to go! When we got to the monastery (Surprise! We didn’t think that was what we would find…) I was glad I decided on ditching the short shorts as the place had this sign: Bawal ang seksing damit (rough translation: Sexy clothes are prohibited).

Quote of the day - EJ: I can’t help it if all my clothes make me look sexy. I so agree!

My three companions did the stations of the cross while I tagged along and snapped away. This is my favorite picture of the place:
