Day 332 - Birthday / Fiesta

I'd like to say that all this food is for my birthday celebration, but I do share my birthday with several other occasions. In this case, the Penafrancia Fiesta of Bicol Province, where most of my parents' friends who live in New Zealand are from. Not that I'm complaining. It's lots of food on my birthday! I couldn't be happier.

Day 328 - Place Card

I made several designs for the place cards that we're to use at my sister's wedding, and this one is the winner. Thanks to my aunt's suggestion. I think it looks really pretty. :)

Day 324 - Unique Photo Opportunity

That's me! And the many different kinds of sheep there are. I went closer to them because I didn't want to miss the "unique photo opportunity", which I kept reading about in all the advertisements for the sheep show at Agrodome. They're not wrong. It was a fun show to watch and the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere! ;)

Day 294 - Creamy Garlic Potatoes

Look! It's a dish I made by myself! Well, more or less. My sister Z and her fiance E helped with the oil and the cheese and the milk and the oven. So all I really did was cut up potatoes and put them in a tray. But that's already more than I usually do in the kitchen so, yay me! Sort of.

This dish is called Creamy Garlic Potatoes. I first found out about it when we had it at The Coffee Farm House during a teambuilding event with my former officemates. It tasted so good, we didn't want to finish eating. Seriously, we stayed for like 2 hours in the dining hall. Of course, this thing that we did didn't taste exactly the same as that dish, but it was still really good. :)

Day 288 - Chocolate Crinkles 2

I went to a nearby park today. I brought some chocolate crinkles, crackers, and iced coffee that I bought from a convenient store. I sat at a picnic table that seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere. I was alone. And I ate the cookies alone. I think it's a strange experience for people who aren't used to being alone.

Day 265 - Old Library Card

I cleaned parts of my closet today and had flashbacks to my childhood for every other shirt or toy or piece of paper that I saw. This is one of the pieces of paper, or cardboard I guess. I can't believe my library card from 2nd grade is still alive after all these years. Also, my hair has not tamed after all these years either.

P.S. Today is Day 265! 100 days to go and this 365 Project is over. I said last June that this project will only be until May 2011, but apparently, I've missed enough days to fill an entire month that although it's April, I'll need 100 more days to complete the 365. Well, it still counts as one entire year of pictures even if the dates aren't exact, right?

Day 251 - Lion Hat

I spent the day at Solenad (a sort of shopping centre) at Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna with my friends who were celebrating their birthdays. There was a bazaar beside the parking lot and we bought these silly hats. There were several designs and it was fun looking through all of them. I think you can tell our personalities from the animals we chose -- J1 chose the Siberian husky hat (because her dog is a Siberian husky), J2 chose the tiger hat, J3 chose a pink bear hat, and as you can see, I picked the lion hat. The best thing was that none of us wanted the same animal. I love that my friends and I are all different from each other. :)
