Napakaliwanag ng paligid, ngunit hindi mo na ito masasaksihan. Isang maling hakbang at, sa isang iglap, biglang magtatapos ang iyong paglalakbay. Napakaganda ng mundo ngunit masalimuot din. Ang tanong… handa ka ba?
Ano ang huling bagay na iyong maiisip bago ka balutan ng sapot ng kadiliman?

Sa isang madilim na sinehan, isang napakagaling na huling pagganap DITO sa aking isa pang LP entry.

I saw this bee on the pavement and immediately got my camera to capture him. It was when he never moved at all, all the time I was fumbling with my equipment, that I realized he was already lifeless. In fact, since it’s already Fall, I actually first wondered why he was still lazing about when he should already be reaping the fruits of his summer honey harvest together with the rest of his huge family.
I guess the little guy just never made it home.

A few more weeks and it’s Black Friday!
No two people in this world are as fanatical about Black Friday sales as my husband and I. He would usually leave way before dawn in order to get first dibs on the electronics sales, and then it is my turn to do my apparel shopping as soon as he comes back home. We would then meet up a little bit later to do, guess what, even more shopping.
What really gets us going is browsing through the sale circulars each retailer gives away the day before Black Friday. Beforehand, hubby and I already know which thanksgiving deals to line up for and which stores we should pitch our tents in front of.
For this year, we know we can already see beforehand what stores will be putting what things on sale thanks to sites like iBlackFriday.Com. For one, there’s no more need to stand in line in the freezing cold dawn because we folks can now shop online for 2008 thanksgiving specials in the comforts of our own home! They even offer email alerts that let you know when new black friday ads have been posted so you’re always kept in the loop.
Imagine not having to line up at for Best Buy deals, or Target deals, and even Ikea deals? That means more time to line up at Macy’s, Old Navy, and Toys R Us, hehe.

Boo!
Scared you? :D It’s almost that time of the year and I can’t help but love the theme for this week’s 10 on Tuesdays. How horrifyingly apt. :)
Anyway, I don’t normally watch horror movies (too much of a scaredy cat, I am) but, unfortunately, when you’re surrounded by horror movie freaks, there’s no escape, there’s nowhere to run, and they would know ultimately know what I did last summer.
So here’s my list.
1. The Ring. Here’s the thing, I bought tickets to see “The Lord of the Rings” but was issued tickets for “The Ring” instead. Imagine my horror when, instead of Orlando Bloom, I got Sadako.
2. Sixth Sense. Its not the gory type horror movie, but I had nightmares for weeks after watching this. I look at orbs differently now.
3. I Know What You Did Last Summer. Jennifer Love Hewitt was annoying. Que horror! But the movie was quintessentially scream-worthy.
4. Scream. Great segue, huh? Haha! Wes Craven did a great job of reinventing the slasher genre started by (equally scream-worthy) “Halloween” for our generation. Its a lot of fun, especially if you’re watching with a group of equally-scaredy cats.
5. Jaws. This can be classified as a horror movie, right? I saw this when I was a kid and it got me avoiding beaches altogether.
6. Amityville Horror. I think this was the movie that made me not want to watch Horror movies afterwards. It also did not help that my parents recently bought a property in a village called Amityville. Needless to say, I’d rather be homeless.
7. The Exorcist. Its a classic, what can I say. I actually got to watch the movie again and it didn’t seem as scary as it was back then. Ok, a little bit less scary. Its probably because I was able to see through the jurassic special effects. But anyway, still a classic.
8. Spoorloos or The Vanishing. I saw the Dutch version first and then (masochistically) watched The Vanishing (I liked the Dutch version better). Vanishing the way Saskia did, it would be my worst worst worst nightmare, ever.
9. The Blair Witch Project. To tell you the truth, I don’t remember how this movie ended, my eyes were closed the whole time, haha!
10. The Shining. I can bet you my Samsonite luggage that Jack Nicholson was made for this role. Not a lot of gore but a whole lot of nail-biting instead.
This list got me looking over my shoulder…
How about you? What are your 10 favorite horror movies? Play along with us at Ten on Tuesdays.

Come on, I know you have a secret online shopping purchase tucked away in the very back of your closet that you haven’t shown your hubby ever. Or hey, are you salivating over the new G1 phone already when you just purchased an iPhone the other month? Or maybe, you have that compulsion to purchase and collect everything with Nick Jonas on it.
Do tell! Creatively. :)
Because for that, you can maybe even win up to $1500 for your shopping confessions. You could either send a video of your confession (for a $1000 prize) or just write it down as a story (and win $500) if you astound the honorable board of judges with your extreme shopaholicity.
Register HERE at www.shopandconfess.com (don’t forget to mention mrsworkinggirl.com as your referring url, of course!)
And if you do win the $15,000 grand prize for the best shopping confession ever, don’t forget to add me to your holiday shopping list. :)

Lourdes Legaspi Lagman vda. de Liwanag
Nais ko pong ipakilala sa inyo ang aking lola. Siya kaagad ang unang pumasok sa aking isip para sa temang “Liwanag” ngayong Linggong ito sa LP dahil, bukod sa kanyang apelyido, kung meron man tayong tinatawag na ilaw ng tahanan, ang aking lola naman ay aming grand-ilaw. :)
Kakaiba ang taglay na liwanag ng aking Apo Loleng. Mula sa kanyang katawan ay umusbong ang anim na anak, na kung saan ang aking sariling ina ay ang siyang panganay. Nalagpasan nila ng aking lolo ang ikalawang digmaang pandaigdig, iginapang sa hirap ang kanilang mga anak, at hanggang ngayon ay patuloy pa rin nagbibigay ng kakulitan, kasiyahan, at paggabay sa aming pamilya lalo na sa mga panahon na nababalutan kami ng kadiliman ng problema.
Tunay ngang angkop na angkop sa kanya ang kanyang pangalan. Wala talagang hihigit pa sa kinang ng aming pinakamamahal na Liwanag.
~~~
Kahit madilim, maliwanag pa rin DITO sa aking isa pang LP entry.

I know I have written about Zenni Optical before and how you will find a huge selection of inexpensive but highly stylish eyeglasses for as low as $8 on their site. Truth is, I like writing about something that helps people save some money yet get a great product in return.
Now, it seems like I’m not the only one who is impressed with Zenni’s innovative pricing strategy. In fact, the Chicago Tribune mentioned Zennioptical.com in an article saying, in a nutshell that, buyers do not need to put up with the high costs of those national optical shops in order to get a highly stylish but functional pair of eyeglasses - nothing beats the amazing prices you can get online for your lenses with Zenni. Furthermore, it was also mentioned that even if you order any additional lens add-ons with Zenni, you are still guaranteed to get the best price for your eyeglasses. Yes, unlike national optical shops, Zennioptical.com sells their own manufactured frames direct to the customer with no middlemen so you, the buyer, ultimately benefits from all the savings!
So check out Zenni the next time you’re shopping for your glasses. They offer single vision lenses, sunsensor (potochromic) lenses, tinted suglasses lenses, bifocal and progressive lenses and lots more. You will definitely see the difference. :)
