Oh man, Chard and I had such big laughs taping this video. For the slow-motion shots the director had to play the track at all different speeds, then I had to sing along to it each time no matter how fast the track would go. That way, when they'd play it back and set it in slow-mo mode, everything would still appear normal and you'd get what you'll see here. Thing is, by the end of the shoot the tape was just going reeeeally FAST! So I was singing along to my voice which was going 100 miles a minute, I mean I thought I was going to take off. Despite the song sounding like there was a chipmunk on acid it obviously served its purpose though..! You can't tell what went on behind the scenes cos its meant to look really romantic with all the slow-mo hair blowing in the wind, all the girly outfits and film excerpts and stuff.

PIZZA http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/106/Sandys_homemade_PIZZA <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R9J1xQoKCjsAAAgCYlo1"></a> Sandy's PIZZA has arrived! # 7218334 / 7218329 Hi, guys! SUMMER NA SOON!!! :) Though generally conscious ako about stuff I eat, I am so proud of my Tita Sandy's homemade pizza, that I make sure to always order at least 6 boxes on set!  My fav flavours are White Cheese, Tuyo and Very Veggie (wheat flour pizza!). She makes her own dough fresh in the morning and delivers her pizza straight from the oven... And while being surprisingly affordable (pls call # for price), they come in huge slices!!! Mmmmmm! Minsan sya na nga ang nagluluto, sya pa mismo ang magde-deliver. OA talaga! Hahaha! Well, she has taken her many baby steps for her new pizza business and now it is ready to SOAR! With the local Philippine twists she incorporates in her flavours, my 'Twin' (being my pops' youngest sister, we really look alike!)  will take this pizza to greater, yummier heights. :) <a href="http://kooki.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R9J0UgoKCjsAAFssiEc1"><img style="width: 365px; height: 273px;" class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R9J0UgoKCjsAAFssiEc1/-6.jpg?et=op6sw5IJdJ2L4ZG2PSvHFg&nmid=&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487&nmid=85352487" border="0"></a>                      ... http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/106/Sandys_homemade_PIZZA Sat, 8 Mar 2008 11:10:00 -0000 Eyes Wide Open http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/105/Eyes_Wide_Open <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R4uXsAoKCjsAAAm3KP81"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/R4uXsAoKCjsAAAm3KP81"><img style="width: 388px; height: 310px;" class="alignleft" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R4uXsAoKCjsAAAm3KP81/check.jpg?et=OKbS6Pbu2k45gb3elOFuEg&nmid=&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950&nmid=77597950" border="0"></a>My computer clock says Mon 6:16 PM.

Coffee was once forbidden by Christian priests! Once upon a time, pinagbawalan daw ng mga priests sa Rome ang pag-inom ng kape dahil inisip nilang "drink of the devil" daw ito. Kung sanctified daw ang wine at ginagamit sa Holy Communion, at ang coffee ay pwedeng non-sanctified substitute sa wine at mas nakakabaliw daw ng utak ang kape (hindi pa nila dati naiintindihan ang effects ng caffeine), drink of the 'anti-Christ' daw ito! UNTIL finally, sa mga taong 1500s, inaral at tinikman ni Pope Clement VIII ang controversial na "anti-Christ coffee brew." Nasarapan siguro sya because he decided na hindi na dapat ipag-bawal ang coffee dahil hindi naman sinful ito. Agad niyang ni-bless at na-baptize ang coffee! So dahil sa pag bless ng coffee para sa everyday consumption, ever since then ay naging mas-informed tayo about coffee at okay na mostly sa Christian world ang pag-inom nito. :) May religious history din pala ang kape, diba? <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/smile.png"> I also learned tha... http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/97/gandang_umaga_berks Mon, 2 Jul 2007 04:30:00 -0000 New York Trip on a Few Facts. http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/96/New_York_Trip_on_a_Few_Facts. <img style="width: 244px; height: 325px;" class="alignmiddle" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RnbY5goKClUAAH4cCmA1/jay%20st.jpg?et=3euuBvrhwhhHIpDhmozacQ" border="0"> Sa kung sino mang may gustong makaalam... *Population  8 million people in the city of New York. *Duration of the Trip  5 days ; 6-1/2 hour flight from western europe. *5 different boroughs make up NYC  1.

Heads up guys, matatagalan ng konti ang pag post ko ng pics for you. Sorry talaga, kaya lang kasi, grad ko na this week! (kaya wag malungkot o magsungit! hehe!) Yahey! Congratulations to all the classes of 2007 in the whole wide world. (: Thank you sa lahat ng mga bumati and sa mga nagrereply sa mga post dito. Ang ha-high tech na rin talaga ng mga kooki-berks oh I don't know what to say! =p Di pa ako nakakahanap ng time mag-reply sa mga comments nyo and mag upload ng new pics, pero after the mini blog-break rocken roll ulit. Ayyyyyyt? Below is something na nakasulat sa isang card na bigay ng kaibigan ko. Just wanted to share this here dahil nakakatulong ito sa strength ko pag pagod na ako sa pressure and minsan parang ang dami talagang expectations ng mundo. Nakakanerbyos yun sometimes dahil what if meron akong hindi ma-fulfill na expectations? Pero bakit ba pinapansin yun nakakasira lang ng positive thinking diba? It only makes us stronger ... http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/94/yahey Mon, 21 May 2007 13:43:21 -0000 clicked! http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/93/clicked <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RkziyAoKClUAAHTdeiM1"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RkzjsAoKClUAAALXXdk1"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RkzkNAoKClUAAAkkjG41"><img style="width: 317px; height: 272px;" class="alignright" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RkzkNAoKClUAAAkkjG41/DSC07584.JPG?et=Md4vRvUNRmhPvYTXApDfsA" border="0"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RkzjsAoKClUAAALXXdk1"><img style="width: 280px; height: 200px;" class="alignleft" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/2/photos/upload/300x300/RkzjsAoKClUAAALXXdk1/sony.jpg?et=bvFDxKqL7pon8dHAcWqKug" border="0"></a><a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RkziyAoKClUAAHTdeiM1"><img style="width: 209px; height: 308px;" class="alignleft" src="http://images.kooki.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RkziyAoKClUAAHTdeiM1/DSC07616.JPG?et=QaFkrVieXjOYlWoHzzfh1Q" border="0"></a> <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/note.png"> some NYC pics + notes up now <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/note.png"> http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/93/clicked Thu, 17 May 2007 23:30:39 -0000 World's Fair 2007 http://kooki.multiply.com/photos/album/151/Worlds_Fair_2007 Take 30 nationalities...

Typical evidence ito na medyo wild na ang Climate Change sa mundo... Nakatulog ako kagabi na naka balot sa sweater. Pero pag-gising ko sa umaga, grabe sobra naman ang init! Naka tsinelas na ako bigla papuntang klase. Usually hindi pa ganito ka-init sa April. Naisipan namin ng kaibigan kong mag-grocery at bigla kaming nakakita ng isang helerang Cactus sa tindahan. Ano ba yun?? Natawa ako at hindi ko talaga ine-expect makakita ng ganung klaseng halaman dito. Hehe :) #2: "Cacti" is the plural word for "Cactus", and they grow in hot, dry places. Usually nahahanap ito sa Mexico and other Central American countries, the Middle East, India, North Africa and Australia. They have no leaves at all, and instead they have spikes to defend themselves from animals who might eat them. Their thick stems allow them to store water. #3: Pag-dating ko sa klase, uhaw na uhaw ako sa init... naghanap ako ng maiinom sa mga vending machine, but lo and behold,... http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/89/Climate_Change_feat._da_Cactus_Kaberks Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:24:53 -0000 Good mourning. http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/88/Good_mourning. To the Isidro family, especially Kauhfy, kuya Enzo, Kambal, t. Olive Tina Agot and Lola Edie. My heart goes out to all of you... Lolo Joe was so positive and always smiling as I remembered him. Kauhfy =( Hagulgol ka lang jan sige... cry all you can and all you want... :( I'm sorry I can't be there for you at this time. I'm so far away but we are all here for you. I'm sorry I had to hear about it from you... I love you Kopiko =( Wild and quirky bunch naman kayo, and I know you will stick to each other even tighter now during this time of healing. You're lucky to have each other.... Lola Edie, "I WILL BE STRONG" and "LIFE IS CRUEL" pala ah... Classic talaga si lola... Go ahead and smoke that cigarette, if that's what will make you feel better. t. Agot will just pull her hair out for it and scream at you in silence. :-p My heart goes out to the Virginia Tech community, the families and close friends of the 32 victims, the patients who are still at the hospitals trying to recover ph... http://kooki.multiply.com/journal/item/88/Good_mourning. Fri, 20 Apr 2007 19:04:25 -0000 Pics: quality time with the co-locs http://kooki.multiply.com/photos/album/148/Pics_quality_time_with_the_co-locs Today I learned that the little things can make a big difference; That it is really important to value relationships daily, even in the mundane. It's important to stay connected with friends who care about you, and whom you care for. When given the chance, to do quality time, to verbalize with them even the tiniest details of everyday-- the little joys, the little pains. I learned not to run away from friends, trying to solve things by yourself when things ever go down the drain. To make them part of your life by showing them you need them. You appreciate them. You want to know what's going on with them. You trust them. And you're there for them every single day, whether near or far away. http://kooki.multiply.com/photos/album/148/Pics_quality_time_with_the_co-locs Fri, 13 Apr 2007 00:17:47 -0000 An Unexpected Easter Jam. http://kooki.multiply.com/video/item/7/An_Unexpected_Easter_Jam. le 8 avril 2007 Place des Vosges I hope the Christians out there had a very blessed Easter, and to the non-Christians a restful weekend. May we be given the grace, the courage and the strength to renew our minds and hearts that we might be the change that we wish to see in our country and even in our world. May we be given enough direction and focus to prevent others from getting in the way of all the things we hope to be able to do to contribute to that change, no matter how simple or small. May we also everyday be open to laughter and weekend surprises. Everyone deserves that. xx http://kooki.multiply.com/video/item/7/An_Unexpected_Easter_Jam.

I was so overwhelmed and felt so special, and my wish is that everyone na may birthday this APRIL will feel this kind of love too. Haay =) This was my last birthday spent as a university student and because of that I wanted it to be very simple, intimate, cozy and female-filled. That meant inviting my closest girlfriends who were in town to come over to my apartment for tea, dessert, and some salty pica pica. Basta yung rule was dapat mag-relax sila dahil holy week na holy week! It's also so easy to make a simple party look special. It really helps a lot when you have nice, helpful friends who are willing to pitch in + share the will to make things extra-chic for everyone to appreciate and enjoy.
