There doesn’t seem to be any new good movies on the horizon (the worthy ones seem to be at least several weeks away), so I think I’m gonna be stuck with my books for a while. Not that I’m complaining — in fact I’m enjoying it a lot. I must have already hit my annual quota of book purchases with my last trip to Fully Booked and A Different Bookstore this past weekend. Will update my Books sidebar as I go.

Here are the entries which are getting the most number of hits in the site lately:

* Quotes from Benjamin Button
* Best Restaurants in Manila and the Philippines
* Antonio’s Tagaytay
* Return to KAI (Greenbelt 5) – review shoot for QTV11’s The Beat
* Pepper Lunch (Power Plant, Rockwell Center)

In the (loose) tradition of my lengthy on recent fads post last year, I noticed a couple of currently popular stuff that are catching my attention and interest these days:
* Sanük sandals — they look comfortable and chic, but I wonder if they can be as versatile as Crocs?

* 8 megapixel camphones — saw a gallery of shots taken with a Sony Ericsson phone and was stunned!

* mountain bikes at R.O.X. Bonifacio High Street — wish I had more time to explore cycling.. the bikes look really exciting!

..as well as some that I’d be more than glad to brush aside:
* Wendy’s Baconator burger — what a waste of calories. I saw their magazine ads and read a couple of food bloggers write about this — no, thanks.

* Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series — which are now in stock at most bookstores, after being temporarily extinct throughout the December holidays. Yeah, the movie was OK; but I don’t think I’ll have the time and the interest to read the books (Vince wants to read them though, hehe)

* The whole head shaving thing — yeah I did it last December and thought it was cool and all, but I lost all interest in keeping it shaved now that the style seems to be so trite and ubiquitous here in the office. Fortunately, my hair grows back fast (even though it doesn’t thicken as much as I want it to, hehe)

I found out today that my Candy’s former assistant — Janelle Palma — is back in IBM and working under Vira’s team. Welcome back Janelle!

Lastly, do check out the revamped website of my home church — CCF. I love the new layout and all, but more importantly, the content is priceless. The site’s new features are listed here.
