Just a few minutes ago (around 6:45 PM), an earthquake struck the Metro Manila area. This is the second time I’ve felt an earthquake while inside a building. And to think we’re in an area near the Marikinia fault line. Gahd, the last thing I want is to be stuck in a building after an earthquake. It makes me wonder if this building is strong enough to handle a quake. Rar. The paranoia.

Pyro Olympics 2011
The Pyro Olympics has become a yearly event here in the country. Since its debut last 2005, I’ve been trying to get a chance to take photographs of the fireworks. However, due to the cost of getting a good view of the fireworks, I kept missing the chance until this year. For this year, my bf and I were able to reserve a table at MOA’s UCC, where you can view the show perfectly. We were able to watch team Portugal and UK light up Manila’s skies. Below are some of the lucky shots I’ve taken.
Team Portugal is up first.

Amazing ending for team Portugal
It’s team UK’s turn to wow the crowd:
Like blooming flowers
fun fun fun!
wow
Do you see the island with palm trees?
Colorful ending for team UK
Realizing Resolutions
Keeping up with my resolutions is not easy, I’m afraid. For one, I’m already way behind resolution #5! Days do really speed up once you don’t pay that much attention to the time. Now, I only have a few days left to ensure that I don’t miss the 10 posts per month goal. As for goal #1, I think I’m making progress.
Losing weight isn’t really easy. I love food too much, especially sweets! But I need to get back in shape. At least just enough to fit into my more ‘fitted’ clothes. I have quite a number of clothes that I’ve bought just the previous year but couldn’t wear any more. It would have been fine if these clothes are outdated but they’re not. It’s a shame to toss them out when I know I could fit in them after working out for several weeks. Well, I have been working out for several weeks now. And I think I’m seeing results. Hopefully, after a few more weeks of working out, I could finally fit in those clothes. *crossing my fingers*
As for goals #2-4, these should be evaluated at the end of the year. I’m really hoping I could realize the expected results I’ve set for myself. Since I’ve set them, I should know that these are attainable. Let’s see how I do at the end of the year.
Hmmm… I’ve come to realize that my “resolutions” aren’t really resolutions but more of goals for this year. Well, as long as I can achieve them, then it shouldn’t really matter. Here’s to a long year ahead!
