Green Wear: DLSU Centennial Swatch

Thanks to our recent career orientation in school a few weeks back, the DLSU reps who visited us, together with my colleague Sheila, informed me that next year is La Salle's centennial year and they have this grand celebration...and what really caught my interest is the Centennial Merchandise - the Centennial SWATCH in particular! GAH! It's been a long while since I bought myself a watch! And to be able to buy anything green and related to la salle at the same time had me frothing in the mouth! (well of course this is only an exaggeration!)

Centennial 2401 Watch

I spread the word to my college barkada of course. They too were interested and like kids everyone insisted that we buy the same Swatch! LOL Of course I wanted to buy the La Salle watch (seen below), do you need to ask?! But most of my friends wanted to buy the white Swatch since for them it's easier to match with clothes. You would understand me when I say that it would be much easier if I were to buy the green watch since my work uniform is green too! Haha

After checking the centennial site, checking Dlsu Manila Facebook page and discover the watch prices, I coursed the info and emailed the dlsu centennial office. Unfortunately their specific reservation requirements and office hours are not convenient for us working people. So that's putting a hitch on my stride, but heck I really want to purchase one!

Let's see when and how I do get to buy that Swatch! Oh and I might just end up buying the white one...so sue me I gave in! nyahaha (it still has green trimmings anyway)

And in other news: DLSU vs ADMU today 4pm!

Green Cravings: Gino's Eats & Beats

I would like to share this post by my friend mJ Juco. She tagged me in her post, I assume because she knows I like anything green! ☺ She shared her recommendation of a new resto along Jupiter St., Makati City. I will take note of this for sure and check it out some time. ☚

"GREEN is EEN!"
[07.21.10]


Gino's Eats & Beats, Jupiter St., Makati |
121 Restaurant, Pasong Tamo Ext., Makati


~*~*~*~*~*~*~


So you guys must've been wondering how I came up with the "GREEN is EEN!" album title. Well, here's the story behind it...

Last night, Aisaku and I had to attend to some legwork for our production and future projects but we ended up having one of the BEST nights of our lives meeting all these wonderful people from Gino's Eats & Beats, Greenpeace.org.ph and Manhattan Green Solutions.

For our 1st stop, we dropped by GINO'S EATS & BEATS along Jupiter St. in Makati City for a delectable food tasting. If you happen to be in the area, don't forget to check out this new resto. We highly recommend their "Greatest French Toast" (french toast smothered in caramel, bananas, cream & nutella goodness),"Beef Salpicao" (tender as steak!), "Gino's Longga Burger" (a better tasting version of the Chori Burger) & "Mon's Delight"(Grilled Chicken w/ Creamy Mushroom Sauce - MY FAVE!). We are definitely going back! Thanks Gino! =)

As much as I've wanted to stay and lounge in a bit at Gino's, Ais and I had to run to a QUIZ NIGHT event to benefit Greenpeace.org.ph's cause. T'was my first time to compete in a mini Quiz Bee IN A BAR with fellow yuppies. Lol! That was cool! Thanks for inviting us, Haresh! =)

Funny how all the important people we've come across last night had a penchant for the color GREEN. See their business cards! :D Not to mention, the 2nd event we've attended was actually PRO-GREEN! ;)

Oh yes, green is definitely the 'in' thing! :D

Green Shot: Playing with Photoscape

Thanks to this software - Photoscape

I was able to play around

and make these photos look

MORE GREEN!

these were taken during our last recollection

at Dasmariñas, Cavite

thanks to Emma for these shots

Pathetic GREEN sightings in Boracay

Maybe because blue or aqua green are the colors

most likely associated with the beach...

That I was quite disheartened because

I hardly saw some GREEN sights

during my 1st trip to Boracay!

Aside of course from the plants and other greenery...

there was not much GREEN sightings!

and my cameras hardly captured them except maybe for...

This 1st green sighting! My comfy pillow!

me wearing a green cover-all bringing along my green tote

this edited photo of the green sky as me and my friend

go parasailing

It may not be obvious but the Starbucks logo color is green!

Another green logo sighting at this ihawan resto - highly recommended!

This mojito drink is a cute mint green sighting

and it doesn't taste bad too!

And if you look closely - my Holga cam is army green!

and it captured this!

So I guess I can't complain if I hardly saw anything green in Boracay! ☺

Green Shot: Leaves Standing Out

I was browsing through the latest photos uploaded

by my contacts in my Multiply site

and I always check out the new posts of The Heirloom Manila

The latest portfolio by photographer TS Manansala was posted

and this surely caught my "green" eye

So pretty huh...would love to make this as a desktop wallpaper!

Green Minded: You know he's drunk when...

I bet you've seen people commuting or walking to work with white earbuds plugged in and either smiling or smirking to themselves then you wonder what the heck they're listening to...

Well I was really trying to stop myself from laughing out loud as I was walking this morning

listening to The Morning Rush RX 93.1's top 10 today...all about bar/club/disco (and other joints) quotes...

Here's one that really was surprisingly... err.... funny!

There was this Lady with hairy armpits who approached the bar...raised her hand to call the bartender's attention and asks for a beer...Then the guy right beside her stops the bartender and says: "The ballerina's drink is on me!"... The bartender is confused and asked the guy how he knew the lady was a ballerina...and then the guy answered: "Well whoever can raise their legs that high is surely a ballerina!" o_o

UN-LIKE GREEN: they can't make me eat salad

Last weekend, I was dragged to CYMA

and ended up experimenting with Greek food

despite its aesthetic appeal,

my friends were still unable to make me eat the salad

instead I enjoyed eating a GYRO -

which at first was alien sounding to me

but good nonetheless

so I guess I might just consider coming back haha

not just green in Seton

It is but expected that in Seton most of the things

- aside from the uniform of the students and employees

and almost all of the buildings - you would see is GREEN

But what was quite amazing about my latest lomo shots of the school

during the annual Intrams,

was that I hardly saw anything GREEN in any shot haha

Lomography is my pastime

Green Sights: Lomo shoot @ The Heirloom Manila

Another trip up north and where else could be the better venue for my first lomo shoot?
The Heirloom Manila in Diliman, Quezon City

As usual these were experiemental shots so I did not expect them to turn out GREEN!
Well maybe a little haha... since I used the yellow color flash for most of these photos if I can recall...
