My (Cheap) Kindle

Image
After a hearty lunch at Buffalo Wings (Capitol Commons branch), we were so full we just had to take a very long walk. We ended up going to HMR for some bit of aircon (ber month and it's still hot can you believe it?). I've been there before once and wasn't impressed. There are just too many items that are either dusty or broken or old that I can't appreciate what's with the fuss.  So anyway, I told the boyfriend I was thirsty so we dropped by at Tasty Tucker (oohhh they've renovated the place, it's now so posh!) for a quick drink. When we're done, he spotted the closed area for gadgets and suggested we look. I have nothing in mind at that time but my eye caught a box with a weird price. I asked to check the item and was obliged. OMG, that Kindle Paperwhite is so effin' cheap! I was told that they get regular shipments of this and the cautious me was finding everything so unreal, yet at the same time urgently agreed to buy the item and paid for it as

TME: The Script: For the First Time (4.16.11)

Image
For the first time I've paid for a concert. For the first time I set foot on the actual Araneta coliseum. For the first time I've seen a celebrity (-ies) I'm s o fond of. All because of The Script. I've only heard of the concert weeks before I've already set my budget for another concert I wanted to give as a gift to someone special (hihi!) so I was a bit disappointed to not have anticipated such expense and missed buying patron seats. I would have but I felt rushed on buying one ASAP so I bought what I can afford that time: Thank you whoever SM girl you are who informed me of a better seat (middle) Fast forward to April 16, since the concert was not until 8pm, we set the day to get ourselves busy before the big night. I won't elaborate it here. but to make it short, we were in Megamall that time when we decided to finally go to our last pit stop of the day. A quarter before 7 we were already in the MRT Ortigas Station but we were kind of stuck. All the trains t

It's not that It's not Working...

I'm just afraid you'd be gone, Blogger. Sorry I've went to Wordpress. But I will post with you still while I can. XOXO

App Review: FoodPanda

Image
I tried this app last year and gave it a really low rating because I can't use the app properly. My location does not exist, choosing a restaurant is a chore,. only to end up not having any results at all. I downloaded it again to give it another chance (hey, they replied back with my lower rating way back) and attempted to try. I want l wasn't exactly hungry so I wouldn't be mad if no one came. Choosing the location is better now, I was able to choose my address better than before. The choices are also updated if they are still able to deliver: I started with 91 restaurants around 730, by 8 pm it was less than 10 already. I also liked that they've put in the minimum per restaurant and the delivery charge if any. They also text and email you when they have received your order and have started to prepare it. I liked that they have a ticking time icon on their app for you to check what's going on and a timeline where you can see the confirmation and acceptance. My foo

The Move

I am a loyal person, I really am. I tend to choose the things I already like, I buy things I am familiar with, I even order the same thing over and over. Same as with my social preferences, I try to stick with as little as possible social media accounts but some things are better off done late than never. Facebook for example. After all these years I finally gave in. My resolve was so strong my friends seriously thought it was a spam account before even adding me up! My Blogger account has been my go to ever since Multiply was still alive. I even had to save the entire pages to my Blogger to salvage what was left before they shut Multiply down. And just like anyone who has moved from house to house, this is another move I believe I have to make. I know I should have made the move earlier but only now do I realize this has to be done. It just feels like Blogger is stuck on a coma and would be plugged off soon. I don't write often but I love my blog for as long as I can remember and

Hello WordPress!

So after a long deliberation I'm now onboard! Later soon I'm moving all my stuff from misstinapie.blogspot.com yay! :-D

Heneral Luna: A Review

Image
​ So I watched Heneral Luna yesterday and I think the best word that will describe the movie was that it was engaging. I can imagine history buffs be mad at some scenes but the disclaimer at the intro plus the fact that it's a movie should be an indicator that we should expect artistic touches.  The movie even with the laughs and the antics are inherently depressing. A lot of the sensible lines are heart tugging mainly because those are truths we as a Filipino have forgotten or most probably have just shrugged off. Listen properly and you'd realize how it's as poetic as soon as the funnies are over. Going at the movie I knew he was going to die tragically so I wasn't surprised at all (tell that to the girl who was sobbing loudly at our row) but what have truly made me weepy was the fictional interview setting of the key characters in Antonio Luna's life with a tattered and bloody Philippine flag at the background. We all knew it was going to retell the backstabbing

The Obsession with Adult Coloring Books

Image
Yes. I did just say that. Adult Coloring Books. It's all the rave these days and I've got to say I'm also caught up on this new hobby. Unlike most hobbies that require you to have a table (e.g. scrapbooking, calligraphy), needs tons of materials (e.g. cross stitch), coloring only involves a book and a set of coloring medium you fancy. It's easy to put away and the only trash you would ever incur is in the confines of the sharpener container. It's also relatively easy to do. There is no need for a manual, you just need to spread out the colors on the drawings. Yes, you do get the colors out of the line, but who cares? When most of us are not even familiar with pens anymore, you could say it's a feat you can even lift it in the first place. So far I have only two books (Birds & Butterflies / The Magical City) and just a few colors (Stabilo / Faber Castell) due to me holding back on not going all gaga on this new found hobby (again). So far I can get by with a
