Newspaper, stool and Lego Movie


One of my simple joys is to get free newpaper from a breakfast meal in fastfood. In my lean moments, I have to survive going to the office without breakfast during Monday mornings when I would come from Dau Terminal. On the days that I saved enough, it was such a major treat taking breakfast joy in Jollibee. Although I admit the best coffee in the world is from MCDonald's, I still marvel such breakfast - either pancakes or spaghetti.

It's been awhile since I had my last experience so last Monday was a special morning. Then, I got my Philippine Star.

 The photo above is not my kitchen. Mine still lacks finishing touches. I have a bar which has undone effect. What's missing is a bar stool. I envision the bar not only to be working table for kitchen but a multi-purpose space where I can do school and office work. Why? because it's far from my bed so I won't get asleep easily. Next, it has good WIFI signal.

The stool where I sit (left on the bottom photo), is an heirloom piece from the ancestral house. My aunt once told me that she had that in her RTW store and brought that home when she closed it. Made of pure "authentic" hard wood, it is certainly expensive if I intend to have my version of it. What I next envision is look for a less expensive design such as on the right photo. I have yet to print the photo and ask a furniture maker how much should I spend for two pieces.

My wife and I have always been hesitant to bring Elmo to the movie house, for the fear that he might ask us to leave without finishing the film. Back story which I have previously shared is he got scared of the 3D animation attraction in Hongkong Disneyland.

Officially, "My Little Bossing" is our first film to watch as a family. We are casualties of the Ryzza Mae craze. Since then, he would always ask us to bring him to a movie. We have to remind him that movies such as MLB  are on limited run. We can not watch MLB whenever we want. Post Valentine date should have been a movie treat of "Starting Over Again". We thought that he might not enjoy the film so we decided to bring him to "The Lego Movie".

"Everthing is Awesome!" Last Song-Syndrome and Last Movie Syndrome. Elmo is yet to move on from the movie since then.
