Wordle

Before I post about the "telephone wire" thingy. Let me share what Phil has blogged in his multiply!


This is actually made by Wordle (www.wordle.net)

In the first option, you can type in some random words that pops into your mind and they generate an image with special effects which you can easily edit as well. You have the choice of colors, whether words are horizontal, vertical etc., the font and more! It is really a cool idea to just make random wordle images and have fun!


But aside from typing in random words, Wordle also lets you generate a Wordle image by using your website that has an Atom or RSS Feed! I tried that option and used my blog here in blogspot as the word generator and look! Wordle created an image with tons of random words in it! This is really nice!

Try it!:)

Not an Ordinary Sunday

We were set to leave at Ten a.m. going to Tagaytay to eat lunch at the Highlands Greenhouse! Ever since as a kid, I only liked a few restaurants in Tagaytay Highlands. I didn't like the buffet at the Clubhouse. I didn't like the food on the 2nd floor of the sports center. But I remember liking the pasta a lot at the Peak. (I'm not so sure if it's still there right now or even the name, I can't remember if it was the Highlands Peak or just the Peak.) It was actually located at the top part and they really had yummy pasta!:)

I'm not so sure if it was may second or third time eating at the Greenhouse. and I liked it A LOT!:) Not only they are in very affordable prices. the food is just like, fresh from the garden!:) Usually, they first serve you with bread with butter (you could opt-in to ask for Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar if you don't like butter with herbs). But today, since the whole restaurant was full, there have been some delay on the bread with butter!:) They serve you bottomless Dalandan Juice. I think it was freshly squeezed but I'm not so sure. You could directly go to the buffet and get yourself a bowl of soup. Last time it was pumpkin soup! Yummy. Today, I didn't know what it was. Haha! Then you could just go fill your plate with some veggies and fruits for your salad. Today, I had some mango, suha, melon, some leafy veggies, egg and i-forgot-what-else. Ate it with the honey mustard dressing and again, I forgot what the other salad dressing's name is. hehe! Yummy!

Then pasta time! I put some shrimps, squids, salmon, scallops and mushrooms on my plate and handed it to the waiter for them to cook it with Penne pasta with white sauce:) I was thinking about getting a second serving since I told the waiter to have only a little pasta and the cook gladly oblighed with it!:D as in I think I only ate around 1/3 or 1/2 of the plate. super konte lang! But I felt really full so I decided not to eat since it's an hour and a half on the way home. Then I didn't eat desserts anymore since there's no ice cream! hehe!

After that, we went around and decided to go back home and pass by some bee farm. Ilog Maria. Does it sound familiar? To me, it isn't. But we bought a lot of their products and went home. We were supposed to pass through Sta. Rosa but since we didn't know that the Bee Farm was at the Aguinaldo Highway in Silang, Cavite, we had no choice but use the Aguinaldo Highway on our way back home. TRAFFIC. and to make the long story short. We got home around 5 p.m.

Anyways, before I end my entry. I want you to guess what this is.

Just comment or put ur guesses in my chatbox! I'll talk about this in my succeeding blogs. I've been looking around stores crazy for this thing!

Belle De Jour

Planners are very useful in our lives. Especially if you like your appointments and things to do in an organized notebook. But I think, the hype for the planner grew during the Starbucks earlier christmas years where they offer a free planner for around 21 stickers (21 drinks). The starbucks planner back then was very pretty and nice. People go crazy collecting stickers and fortunately (or unfortunately), I didn't bother. I just helped them fill up their cards while drinking my favorite, Iced White Chocolate or Green Tea Frap.

It was probably last year that I knew about the Belle de Jour Planner. I'm not sure where but I think I saw it online. Bought one. Used it for the whole year. Unfortunately, I was still not used to using these kinds of planners, I actually use the monthly calendars years before.

This year's Belle de Jour is way way way better! Anyways, I'll write more about it as we go along the pictures!:)


The Belle de Jour 2009 box! This year, they came up with the idea of selling it with the option of a box. It costs 20 pesos but I think it's worth it:) It has a silver bottom and a pink tom with the Belle de Jour logo.


The Belle de Jour 2009 and 2008! See, even the covers look great! The 2009 edition has more colors! And it looks more fun!:) Oh! and another thing that i like about the Belle de Jour 2009 is that you can "fold" it just like a springed notebook!:) great, isn't it?


This year's planner comes with Forget-me-not notepad and coupon holder in one! Just in case u didn't know, the Belle de Jour Planner comes with many many coupons that you could really use!:) I like the mix of the colors used in this year's planner.

The Belle de Jour planner comes with a lot of tips on how to maximize your planner, a page for your goals this 2009, vision statement page, someday maybe list, dream board, health checklist, menstrual tracker, birthday list (which i really like), vacation planner, christmas gift list, and a lot of tips!

See how colorful the pages are. Aside from better pages. the paper quality is also better this time. Honestly, I didn't like the paper quality from last year's planner. But this year, It is better (Or maybe, the colors are playing a trick on me!) hehe:)


Here is a picture of the Birthday List! Sometimes, I wish the space would be a bit bigger since some people have the same birthdays and I tend to cramp up their names in that space. But nevertheless, that was one part of the planner that I maximize:D


The planner itself. If you can see (I know the picture's small and blurry) aside from the ordinary timelines, you have a MIT list below and errand list on top. It's really a nice and useful planner if you really use it.


This is what I like best about the Belle de Jour Planner! COUPONS that I can really use! Last year's planner, I think I used around 5 or more coupons? or even MORE! I used up the CBTL coupons!!! Hey, who wouldn't like a Buy one Take one Ice blended drink, right?:) Aside from the drinks, CHEESECAKES at CBTL! hehe! I also used the coupon for a pair of Havaianas at all flip flops. Of course, the cupcakes by Sonja at Serendra. and many more!:) This year's planner comes with even more coupons!!! whee~ but wait! There's more! haha!

I also get this "discount/privilege"? card. with this card, I get to have a 5% discount on all services, 10%discount on hair care therapy, Earn points for credits and most importantly, I get to have a free haircut and hair therapy on my birthday with this card!

Isn't it nice? hehe! Can't wait for next year!:) Can't wait to use my planner na!:)
