the mycologist in me

in college i was an plant pathology major specializing in mycology. i chose this specialization because of my very interesting adviser who was the head of the mycology department. she loved to collect mushroom thinggies. she has items from all over the world from ref magnets to notepads to picture frames. i never thought that the day would come that i would follow her lead =)

i really like pink objects: pc speakers, celfone caddy, electric fan, tops, bags, kikay kit, pens etc. that's why i also appreciate men who wear pink clothing. anything that is pink in color, gets my attention instantly. the last valentine's day i saw a young lady holding a pink stuffed toy. as i was walking closer i saw that it was a mushroom, like the mushroom in super mario brothers. i actually found the idea of making a mushroom stuffed toy quite weird. but apparently, the rest of the country does not agree as it has already become a lucrative business. recently i have been seeing other items using the character & most of them come in pink. so far i have seen a soft phone caddy, tray, tissue holder. hmmmm i think i like to collect this thing after all.

i sought the advise of my sister zar... isn't it too patweetums for a 30 something woman to buy these things? she said who would care, i'm not going to use their money anyway hahahaha. as i was still in the process of deciding whether i should start collecting it or not, zarah made the decision for me, last friday she bought my 1st piece, this cute soft celfone caddy.... really love my sister!!!

points of view : a song for my best friend

romantic couples normally have theme songs. you can also have a song for your mom or your dad. but it's not very common for us to have a song for our best friend. that's why while i was watching  the gala performance of PDA last night (pasintabi sa mga kapuso friends ko, TFC lang po kasi  pinoy channel na meron kami... for now) that features the scholar's songs for their best friends, i began to think... what song would best describe the relationship that i have with my best friend? i fell asleep with this thought in mind.

my best friend's name is niña theresa villa luna - manalili. we were batchmates since grade school, got closer in high school & became official best friends in college when we both entered uplb. people who know us would agree that we are total opposites in all aspects. apart from sharing the same crush, being consistent class officers & scout leaders, we had different interests in high school. i'm the bubbly cheerleader-dancer , while she was the president of the religious group in school & the parish. i'm outspoken & opinionated, while she's the quiet type. almost always we would have different views or opinions on things but never fight about them. we just respect each others opinions & take each others advice. for us the saying that opposites attract holds true. so when i woke up this morning, the song points of view popped out. this song is for you bespren! i miss you so much. hope to see my best friend, bespren-in-law & my lovely inaanak nyza very very soon. mwuah!
