Christmas Craft Beer by Robot Food & Vocation Brewery

“After a word with our friends at Vocation Brewery, we’d come up with something Naughty & Nice and deliciously festive. We decided on a strong chocolate stout and Vocation perfected the recipe for us to brew together. We came up with the festive name, the elegant in-house illustrations and chose a special gold foil finish.”

Bold, brave and beautiful. That’s the blueprint for Robot Food’s design. Making noise is good. Being heard is better. What they do is turn up the volume on strategic creativity. They focus the messaging. They do away with clutter. They craft every detail. Simply put, they’re hellbent on great ideas that bring solid commercial results.

That night we played ping-pong with the filmmakers of London

So we arrived in London last October 13, 7am. We were so lucky to at least see the sunrise on our way to Shoreditch.

London [Hawthorne] Airport is not like Changi. It's small but organized. It's like an hour and a half drive to from Shoreditch.

So we arrived at our hotel, The Ace Hotel. It is located at Shoreditch High street. It is just so hipster. Haha! Nah, it's so unique. It's not like the five-star hotels here.

Its lobby is not so big but every corner has a purpose. 

Its hallways are narrow, and filled with typography. (This photo did not give justice, sarry).

Our room is very simple yet cinematic.

It's so hipster it has a sharpener on the wall. Lol!

So anyway, upon checking in, we had breakfast at Hoi Polloi. Though, I did not get to take a picture of the restaurant. It has awesome food, and really accommodating staff. Then we took a quick nap before the 5:30pm scheduled drinks with MOFILM winners.

But before that, ate Irene and I had early dinner/snacks.

This sandwich is so healthy I need to post the picture here. It's bacon & spinach, plus dried tomatoes and basil. 

There they are! They are a bunch of nothing but pure awesome! We were all too shy to talk to each other for a while. I'm not so good in talking to people - so maybe that drink helped a lot, lol. After an hour of chatting, we walked to Bounce - the ping-pong bar.

So anyway, we arrived at Bounce. And so the fun begins!

We had our own room and MOFILM invited some filmmakers from London. I had small chats with them. Too bad I did not get to keep contacts. Oh well. Of course, unlimited drinks!

Love these people! 

So anyway the ping-pong games were momentarily stopped as we had to watch films done by filmmakers of MOFILM. Ghad, the films were great. I wish I was as good as those directors!

I had to leave early because I was so jet-lagged. Ate Irene left earlier than me because she needs to rest. I had a great time! Shall post that tomorrow, or I don’t know. Lol.

Heart breaks and hang overs.

I hate staying up this late.

Because this time of the night always reminds me of someone. Someone. It always reminds me of a feeling - a feeling that I feel until today. I think.

Nights like this always reminds me of you. And the only thing that could put me to sleep is that one song, the very song you made me listen to 6 years ago from my 22nd birthday.

I wonder if even once, after you left six years ago, did I ever cross your mind when you can’t sleep? I wonder if, even once, did you ever want to talk to me? I wonder.

Because you did cross my mind, each night this happens. And yes, you’re the only one I want to talk to everytime.

I don’t know what this is. Maybe I’m just missing you, not in a best friend kind if way. This happens once in a while. And I know I can tell you because you’re the only one who knows me, and can understand. I miss you, lubb. That’s it.

I just miss you.

When I fall asleep, (hoping it would be soonest), everything will go back to normal. So, goodnight.

P.S. I know you: either you will say a lot of things, or completely ignore thia. But, well, I’d prefer you say something. No, wait, just ignore. Do not hate me. I’m not flirting. I’m just fcuked up. And you’re still the only one who could keep me together.

He dropped by our office with his friend for a photoshoot. Haha! So, I kind of asked him to take off his top. I thought it would be nice to show his tattoos. Hahaha! I was kindda wrong. But oh well.

I’m tired of being sad. I want to feel something else just for a little while.

Screw everything about the future.

So I've had so many questions about this relationship. And why when I ask you, you have just one answer - the future. Why you're working your ass off, even if it mean you're saving up for your hospital bills in the future. Why you always leave, come back and then leave again. Why you've broken a thousand of your promises. But there's this one question that I'm always, have always been after to ask - if you were to choose between me or a well off future alone, what would you have chosen? Since you stood me up again, I've been thinking. How you always do this to me. How you always make me feel miserable and deprive me of having to spend even just a day with you. How you never made me feel important, not even once. How you forget to make me feel special. How you have broken every promise you have made. How I stay and have your back while I waste every shot I have to be someone in my industry. How I stopped my life to be able to catch up with yours. How I've been wasting my life. For the future, huh? I hope one day you will realize you are overdoing and overlooking things. One day.

I was standing below the traffic sign on a red light waiting for you. Maybe I misread the signs. I thought you'd stop me. But you went green and let me go. So now I'm running past traffic signs leaving you on your most comfortable pedestrian.

Still a girl.

I don't get it. Yes, I look like I know what I'm doing. I'm a bitch. I'm like, one of the boys (to the point my friend doesn't want to listen to my girly advixes because I am one of the boys daw). But you know, I'm still a girl. So I was questioning a friend last night - bakit ganun? Ano ba naman yung time lang yung hinihingi ko kasi kailangan ko siya? Ano ba naman yung kausapin niya ako kahit ayoko? Ano ba naman yung padalhan niya ako ng isang rose kapag galit ako? Ano ba naman yung suyuin ako kahit kaunti? Ano ba naman yung tanungin kung okay lang ako? Ano ba naman yung mag-explain kahit galit ako, nababasa ko naman? Ano ba naman yung puntahan ako kasi kailangan ko siya? Ano ba naman yung kahit isang oras lang isingit niya ako sa linggo niya kasi girlfriend niya ako? Ano ba naman yun? Am I not that important? Hassle. Bakit ganun? Harsh. Haha. Ayoko na. Haha. I know I hurt him at some point. But you know. It sucks that I can't keep questioning myself about a lot of things plus the guilt shit that he is (not knowing) giving me. Because my patience screwed up. Because I fcuked up. I'm not okay. I'm not okay. I may appear that I know what I'm doing and I may have decided on something already. But you know, I regret that. And I'm too afraid to admit it. This sucks. And now I'm scared to talk to him. Kasi alam ko yung sasabihin niya. Kasi alam ko yung ayokong marinig at masasaktan lang ako. Kasi natatakot parin ako. Pero bakit ganun, wala man lang kahit ano :( wala. Oh well.
