Show us a picture you keep on your desk.
Because there's a clean desk rule going on.
And because I need it for work.
Show us what book is on your night stand.
Yet to be read. Borrowed from Gian. Given my glacial pace, i'll be done in two weeks.
Thanks, G!
Show us a food you love, but rarely eat anymore.
I know I love. But sadly, I don't miss.
Show us a book you started reading, but never finished.
I don't think I even reached midpoint with this book:
Someone tell me what I'm missing!
Show us your friends
(Fore: Andrew, Antonela, and Russel. Back: Madame, me, Vinnie. Noel took the photo.)
This question is the best excuse to write again. (No, I haven't lost it; am just a bit lazy to even translate thought into prose.)
I have a lot of friends and these are some of them.
This was my Boracay posse.
Btw, I just got back from my third straight trip from zee island. This stay has been my best so far. Water was clean, hardly a cigarette butt in the sand, winds and waters on my side. Weather was perfect! Well, except for a five-minute drizzle that made us think about opening umbrellas in the water. And there was no drama!
Kudos to Noel for taking this shot. (He was figuring out how to use the timer as of this snap.)
I realized that my Boracay trip was sort of an anniversary trip for us in the professional sense. This year, five of us (me, Russel, Madame, Anton, and Andrew) celebrated our seventh (yeah) year at PeopleSupport. You'd really wonder what make us stay.
Here's a complete shot.By this time, Noel (in the black tank) had already figured out what to do with the timer. Good job!!!
Oh and I just have to include this.
Share a song from your favorite band.
Show us something that's been on your mind a lot.
In the realm of material things, I've been eyeing two kinds of shoes to replace my old stuff.
I need a pair of chelsea boots in brown. (If I could get them from Prada, that'd be nirvana.)
I was really never the bloody-sharp-deadly-weapon shoes kind of person. Nor am I the cowboy or S&M footwear fiend. Doesn't go well with my philosophy, I guess. Am fine and comfortable with the slight pointed-ness of this design. (Of course, I will never go back to the square toe.)
Chelseas are the farthest I could probably go in terms of high-top leather shoes. I have a pair in black and they've been everywhere already. It's time to give them a sabbatical.
And overall, I am a white shoes kind of person. Those whom I've chatted with about shoes have probably heard me say that 'white shoes give me a sense of balance.' They really do.
These Paul Smiths are beautiful.
Me likey.

Art Appreciation was a subject I unfortunately never had the chance to take when I was in college. Good thing it never became a speck in my eye for things that are beautiful.
So, armed with an unschooled love for art and a pretty Plus One (Tata, who just got back from India), we scoured downtown Pasig City for Denise's art exhibit entitled 'Deus Ex Machina' last Friday evening.
I was joking with Tata en route to the event, 'Wow! So we're part of the art crowd now?', though I'll be the first to tell you that I am engulfed by the 'grandness' of art exhibits. It's just something I can't wing - unlike my job!
So imagine the relief of being met by a small space filled with personal art and a mishmash of eccentric and 'normal' Denise Fans.
Each lantern gave everyone a glimpse into the artist's past, present, and future. Inspirations were her deus ex machinas - friends, loves, flowers from outside her window, and the idiosyncrasies of her everyday.
Says the invite: 'With mixed emotions, mixed media of images, colors and text, the irrational, peculiar and nonsensical is trapped around the surface of spheres illuminated by light of varying hues. The light at the very center enforces some sort of hope or offers a hint of enlightenment to the viewer.'
The installation above called 'You' was my favorite for its downright honesty. Tata agrees. Below is our favorite line from 'You.'
The one you see below is entitled 'Self-Preservation'. Also doubles as the artist's self-portrait.
The focal point of the exhibit's second floor was not a sphere, but a two-dimensional installation. Aptly entitled 'Reiji' (see below), shots of the guy who hooked us up last year (her best friend) were interpreted the 'Denise' way. Reij, isa kang muse! Basketball team na lang ang kulang!
Denise's friend Bam played 'The Whole Of The Moon' by the Waterboys right before Tata and I left. I sung my way out, but not without a photo op with the artist du jour.
The exhibit runs until April 9 at the Cubicle Art Gallery, C Raymundo Ave. cor Stella Maris St., Brgy. Maybunga, Pasig City, Philippines. For more details contact: 0920-9051346 or email denrocs@yahoo.com.
Kudos to Denise for lending your heart, mind, and soul to those spheres! 'You're the best thing that ever happened since Coke Zero!'
Show us what makes you sleepy.
Packs a punch enough to get me my precious eight hours.
