Jardín De La Soledad

it's been eons since i last wrote here. i've definitely missed a lot. got through some entries & was elated.

3rd day of fasting. things seemed to be going okay. loads to do at home before the festive. will update more properly very soon.

good to back...

detroit metal city is awesome!!!! ken'ichi did justice to the role as a lead singer to a death metal band apart from his 'jekyll and hyde' transformation throughout the movie. not even gene simmons as jack III dark could surpass what ken'ichi did as johaness krauser II. the 3 diehard fans who work as power rangers in the theme park are insanely out of this world! kell and i laughed so hard....it was trip! go to dmc!

the soundtrack is a must have!

Happy Birthday Fresi

"The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder."
- Alfred Hitchcock

Hear! Hear! Hear! Bollywood directors should definitely learn from him.

The brightest stars shine the brightest but they always depart the fastest.

The angel still speaks,
The strings still sing.

You still shine like the brightest star,
And your laughter still graced our hearts.

As light shined our paths we remembered that you never stopped living around us and in our hearts.
May you be Everfree and in Peace...

God Bless You Always ...Angelo Rosa

While I love things related to Kyoto (have yet to upload the hankachi Saki got for me from Kyoto) , Japanese sweets are something I can’t stomach but as I was exiting the pet shop after getting Fresi’s treats, I saw some pretty looking colored balls that showed, Kyoto Candy. Something familiar struck in me, it was those old school hard candies that I used to eat…eons ago.

After picking out the ones that has the most purple colored balls and being offered to taste some green tea black bean treats, I got back to the office and tasted them. The taste was spot on as it was…eons ago.

I give you Kyoto 'Colored Balls' Candy…


And here’s an overdosed mix of Lemon Lime and Lemon Soda jellybeans I got for Cill.

Silence Is Platinum

Finally mustered enough courage to get my eyebrows threaded. In my excitement, I only realized I was at the wrong shop (not at level 3 as Banne had told me) when I saw the name card as unit #02. Crikey. So, I’ve heard it’s quite painful from my cousins and friends. All the talk about ants bite is false, either that or I must have missed the part about them talking about giant red ants instead of just, ants.

It took me all but 8 years to get my nose pierced. Since my pain threshold is at the pathetic level, I thought since I’m still pissed at the passport photo I’ll diffuse the anger. Maybe I won’t feel much pain from all the anger.

As I lay on the chair that looks so much like a dentist chair, I thought,
‘Chill it, it’s not like I’m having a root canal.’
So wrong. It bloody hurts!! I had to stop the lady a few times because my head got out of the chair from trying to ‘move away’ from the pain. One thing for sure is, my anger is gone.

After the whole ordeal (it was my longest 5 minutes) I looked like a zombie because my mascara got smudged due to my tears falling. No waterproof mascara is going to save you on that one.

My brows are still smarting though. I don’t know which hurts more, my 1000mg jab on the butt or this. *patspats*

Excuse me while I go and do some self-healing …

I went to have a passport size picture taken for my IC at the DIY booth at Somerset MRT. Turns out, it wasn’t as successful as the one I took at Raffles Place 5 years ago.
The seat at the Somerset MRT booth was stuck which means I can’t get it to the correct height for my face to fit into the circle on the screen.
After 2 shots, I had to choose over:-

the constipated look (because I had to lift my gearbox a few inches off the seat, just so I can fit my face into the circle) or

the half past dead look (because my legs got really tired after trying hold my gearbox off the seat).

I can’t use either but I had to make a choice. Then I’m thinking, ‘Who the hell cares, no one’s going to see the picture’ (because I’m definitely not using it as my IC photo). So, constipated look it is. Ew. That picture is never going to see the light of day. Ever.
