quote for the day

I've been receiving a lot of inspirational quotes daily on my mobile phone and my phone memory is starting to get full because I don't want to delete the beautiful messages. So I decided to share it to you guys and sort of document it in my blog. Starting today, I'll be posting a quote that I got through text that moved me that day. It may also inspire some of you. Let's get inspired!:)

The heart remembers all special moments when goodness made a difference.
May the love you share with others return to you in countless ways.

Which Sex and the City Lady Are You?

*Sex and the City*

I'm so watching this movie! One of my favorite TV shows is now showing on the big screen. I started to refresh myself by watching my SATC DVDs yesterday at home with Micmac. I think he's enjoying it too, even if he won't admit it;) Saw my email today and every alert I got is about this flick.

I took this quiz from Ivillage, and I'm happy with the result. I definitely I want to be a Charlotte:) She's my favorite among these fun and fearless women. I like her style, her attitude and her flair in the show. Can't wait to watch the movie over the weekend!

You're Charlotte

A romantic at heart, you're strongly influenced by the intuitive, profound and sometimes naive. Though on the surface you may seem innocent and all about seeking the good in people, beneath the surface, you hide secret yearnings for intimacy, for attachment and ideal love. You want a knight in shining armor, a soul mate, someone who will complete you. You're super-sensitive, crying at commercials and sappy movies. You also provide a shoulder to cry on and open arms for hugs. Be careful that you're not so wide-eyed and trusting that you get taken in by some cunning wolf in Prince Charming's clothing.

Cosme in Bolinao

Rain or shine....It's on! -- Dani Girl

Would you believe the OMS team and Art Dept. team of Branders.com was in Bolinao, Pangasinan that same weekend when Cosme hit the province at signal # 3. We were stranded inside the Bungalow we rented for the weekend. The wind was whistling and it's freaking us out. At first, Michelle, Abi, Mic and I thought of it as an adventure. We changed into our swimming clothes and braved the winds towards the shore front. The waves were not nearing the shore, they were stuck in the breakwaters. The water was surprisingly warm according to Micmac. We also got free acupuncture! -- it was like sandstorm. The strong winds blew some sand and when it hit our skin it was piercing like needles. So we thought, it's a bad idea to stay at the beach area. We went back to the resort and dove into the pool.

After a while we got back to the hut were the boys were drinking booze. Mic and I decided to go back to the house so we can clean up and to rest before dinner time. While we were inside the house chatting with Dani, Angel and Carlo, Abi came with news that Becky was bleeding. (Becky's 3 month pregnant) Becky was rushed by Ronnie together with Liza and Jamie to the nearest(1 hour away) hospital during the hit of signal#3 in that area. Theirs was a different adventure. Jamie told us that they encountered a lot of fallen trees and electric posts on the road. Good thing Becky is now doing fine and is recovering back in Manila. The baby is fine too. Becky just need bed rest.

The morning after the storm, the sky was brighter, the winds were tamer and so we decided to get back to our swim wear and take some pictures. So here it is, our Stormy Bolinao experience.
