I know, I know. The number one item on my wishlist in my previous entry is a Filed! planner. Well, I did get my planner.. only it wasn’t from Filed. Needless to say, I think it was even better than Filed’s planner.

Surprise, surprise! The moment I heard of this “Moonleaf 2012 planner” around Twitter, I decided to check it out. As soon as I laid my eyes on it, I had to get one of them ASAP.

There are days when I wish I had gotten Filed’s planner too, but what’s the use of having two planners especially if you’re not even sure if you’re able to fill it up with notes when the year begins.

The best part is that the Moonleaf 2012 planner only costs PHP 300! There’s a black planner that’s a limited edition that sells a little above the original price, approximately PHP 450. I was going to get that too, out of impulse, but luckily there weren’t any stocks during my time of visit. )

It simply means that it’s not meant to be mine.. hehe. Anyway, I decided to spoil y’all with the contents of the lovely planner. Do check out the photos after the jump!

2011 Wishlist

Guys, please ‘like’ my Facebook page here: facebook.com/SoStellarPH! Thanks. :heart:

Oh noes, we’re at the last month of the year. But this won’t be my year-ender post just yet, this is just a wishlist. )

Based on the turnout of the events around this household, I doubt my Christmas this year will be as fun as the previous holidays from this year. I was backreading some of my posts from a few years back and I noticed that it may not be the best or grand but, from that post, I was pretty much content with the turnout just because we had a lot of food that day. Pizzas, cakes, and macaroni salad galore! ) Any holiday wouldn’t be complete if you don’t have yummy food at the table. That and the whole family to share it with, or if not, at least special people in your life.

Yeah, ok, this is getting cheesy.

It’s sad that as I get older, the more mundane holidays seemingly become to be. With that said, I intend to make myself happy by satisfying myself with materialistic needs. Lol.

My plan on the 25th? Help around the house and spend the entire day inside my room watching marathons of TV shows. I’m currently watching season 3 of the Wonder Years. I love it. I’m a sucker for old, old TV shows. )

On with the wishlist.. here’s item #1:

Okay, so why do I want a planner when I already have a blog to write on how my day went and twitter that I update nearly 24/7? Continue reading →

Hi all,

I recently made a Facebook page for my blog, So Stellar. Yep, this blog! ) If you don’t mind, could you please ‘like’ my page? Just so it doesn’t look lonely hahaha. Well, I’m aware it won’t get that much attention but I wanted to make one just in case (you never know what can happen). I feel a little bummed out that someone already took the name SoStellar on FB, so I had to add a ‘PH’ at the end just so I can still use the name somehow.

Click to go to my FB page and 'like', please!

Over the years I’ve changed my ‘tagline’ around 10x, I think. I’m never really consisted with taglines until now. I’m hoping I can stick with this, but at the same time I hope I can think of something better. This sounds too serious eh. =))

That’s all, til the next update!

Out and about with the Nikon P300

I brought my camera with me when I went out this afternoon to do a couple of errands. I wasn’t planning to do anything big with it but take a couple of test shots inside the mall where low-light areas are plenty while having my snack. Heck, I didn’t have any intentions of staying longer than 30 minutes. Wait for it..

Lo and behold, when I was near the mall entrance, someone called my name.

Three of my friends from high school were hanging out just outside the mall entrance. Haha. I thought to myself, oh perfect timing! I’m glad I brought my camera with me.. I finally have subjects to take photos of! )

We stayed at the mall’s food court from late afternoon to 7pm. We talked about all sorts of things from that time when someone threw a mayo container at Carlo cuz he kept annoying our classmate by singing Manson’s “Sweet Dreams” to her (always makes me laugh everytime this is brought up, this goes way back in freshman year!), up to weekend plans, and the most random topic was probably about sharing their love woes and problems. I won’t tell who shared their story here, of course. All I’m saying is I was the one who asked/started the topic. =)) What? I was curious. In a nutshell, the four of us were CATCHING UP.

So here are a couple of photos from tonight w/ my friends. More photos under the cut.

Oh! Wait, I added something new to this.. since I was testing out the camera, I added before and after photos. Just hover over the image to view the original. Just so you know what the quality is like of the Nikon P300. I only have it enabled on some of the images though. A few didn’t need to be post processed so I leave it as is.

Fancy a scramble?

I was torn between posting the post-processed photos or just upload them straight from camera (after resizing and adding watermarks to them)… but I decided to just do both. At the end of this post, there’s a short conclusion about it. I think it’s enough to cover what I wanted to achieve in this test. Haha. Thanks for taking the time to read this, if ever.

On my first attempt to make a quick mix consisting of just 8 tracks

Lazy Saturdays: A particular Saturday wherein you don’t feel like getting out of your bed and you just want to lock yourself in your room all day.

Today is one of those days.

I woke up late today from staying up really late last night from watching trailers at YouTube mostly of Jim Caviezel’s movies and interviews. Go watch that particular interview of him with Will Ferrell when you can, that cracks me up everytime. )

When I woke up this afternoon it was almost 2pm. So, the usual, I go online and I chanced upon this website from one of the people I follow on tumblr. A site called 8tracks.com where you can make mixes consisting of 8 tracks (or more? not sure). Their only rule is your mix should not have more than two tracks of the same artist.

So much for a ‘quick mix’, making my first one actually took me an hour. From deciding which songs to put up to making the impromptu album art.

Be nice to my first ever legit quickly put up mix, please?

Making mixtapes for me is kind of a hit and miss thing. I don’t get it sometimes, like, is there a formula for it? All I know is, what was running in my mind while deciding the songs is that they should be mellow, chill and ‘light sounding’ songs. I hope those three were achieved with the songs I put in here.

Not The First Time Lily Dreams On: A Rainy Saturday Mix by Anna
(this list is not in order but these are the songs I put in)

1. The Weepies – Stars
2. Jason Mraz – Summer Breeze
3. Jack Johnson – Hope
4. Norah Jones – Don’t Know Why
5. Ingrid Michaelson – The Way I Am
6. Feist – Brandy Alexander
7. Cultured Pearls – Not This Time
8. Cotten Mather – Lily Dreams On

Incase you haven’t figured it out yet, the title is a mashup of the last two songs. XD
