Happy mothers’ day to all moms!

I’ve been busy with work lately that I think I’ve started to stress myself out. I promised myself I’ll do some de-stressing this weekend.

For mothers’ day, we went to my parents’ house. My mom was happy with the unique gifts for her.

Since my parents’ date in Tagaytay didn’t push through, I thought I could use some booze before the liquor ban in time for the election. We tried Tanduay Ice this time instead of our favorite Gilbey’s Premium. Well, it tasted like a combination of 7-up and tin can (do you know that distinct taste of metal on your first sip of pineapple juice in can? that’s it). I’d still prefer Gilbey’s if only I didn’t grow tired of it.

We went to RW Casino again last night. And the husband proves to be lucky in these games. Let’s just say the money (we bet) multiplied by 6!!! :p

Universal Studios Singapore: Battlestar Galactica Human/Cylon

Battlestar Galactica has two tracks: Human (red) and Cylon (blue). I’m not really sure how different they are but they run simultaneously.

Photo is worth S$18, just take note though that each track has its own photo system.

It was fun watching it and taking videos of the rides. I thought we had to buy memory cards while we were there.

Husband was trying to convince me to try it since it was, according to him, scary only at the start. I refused. Too afraid to do it. Instead, I sat on the seat test and had my photo taken by husband.

jump!

While one application is being deployed to the operations team, an officemate showed me a video of her friend who bungee jumped at the Macau Tower. I was happy to see a sample video as the husband is planning to jump on Thursday. Yes he will jump, and I’m hoping that he won’t be complaining of any joint pain after the jump.

At least, I now know that my planned video-taking from below is perfect as the video (included in the package) will be taken from above (from one’s right). That way, both perspective will be covered. I just hope I get it right as the husband is only doing it once.

our “wants” list

Someone asked me why I stopped taking pictures. I did not stop. I am just taking a break. I started to feel that I need either a wide lens or a really good digital camera (there are good ones in the market for wide range). Plus, money for travel so I could explore more. That’s my setback. I chose not to give priority to this hobby in our budget. Well, like I said, it is my choice.

I’m being fair to my husband who I know would love to purchase his home entertainment system. For sure, he’s been picturing one LCD plasma on a flat panel mount. He even shared that he’d be motivated to run the treadmill in front of it.

Well, I think there’s time for everything. We’ll just have to wait.

he’s just not into it.

My husband is so lucky! He visited the palace and cathedral in Krakow. I was so envious! I love taking pictures of structures and what’s better than palaces and cathedrals? His officemates were just happy to take pictures with their digital cameras. And I was equally glad that my husband, who’s just too uninterested to take pictures, took some! Still, I know he would have taken better photos with our SLR, which in his opinion was too heavy and bulky for his trip. Wasn’t that just a little price to pay for high definition photos? Oh well. He wouldn’t understand. He’s just not into it.
