Random thoughts.

Yes i still can't put together coherent paragraphs.

I want to go to Redbox. Margaritas and videoke.

I am this close to the beach. I can't wait.

After two months, I finally finished this thing i had to do. To say that i was happy elated joyful would be an understatement.

Still thinking if I should buy a PSP. I think I'm just gonna use it as a dvd/mp3 player if i do. Do i really have that luxury?

My movie monster is awake. Or are there just a lot of good movies out there right now? I miss my 3 year movie buddy.

I think I should quit it with the coffee. If i drink one in the morning I feel heavy and jumpy.

My station is too cluttered. One day Imma buy one of those itty bitty desk organizers and fix it. It's just i always forget that I have to buy it when I'm at the freaking mall.

At this rate imma be at the beach at least once a month for summer. Not bad eh?

Due to recent events, I have realized that my inner Maria Clara is alive and well (and fighting me at every turn).

Have been waking up at 11.30pm for the past week. Always at 11.30. Always.

Realizing it's summer, have been scouring every store for a decent swimsuit. Yes. I still don't have the right one.

Want to go to La Union. Surfing. With an instructor so I don't have to paddle as much. Haha.

Want to try at least one new place to eat every month, but afraid will spend all of salary on food. Again.

Found those chocolates I've been wanting to buy since Ja gave me one. Anthon berg liquer filled chocolates. Danish. And not available in this freaking country. Anyone who knows how I can buy them besides online (Yes i checked they're out of stock everywhere online) contact me.

Since i have run out of words

I'll just borrow from other people. Random song lines.

Happy Birthday Bripman!

In honor of Bripday...The 26th in fact.

Fried ice cream

Yes you read that right. Last week I tried fried ice cream. I figure, Ice cream, check. whipped cream, check. cherry, check. But to deep fry the thing. Talk about making an already sinful thing pure evil.

The verdict?

Loved that they used vanilla( i like vanilla ice cream bleh). And the shaved chockylit on the bottom helped. I liked it. But I like my banana splits better. But it was a great experience. Definitely can't make THAT at home.

And FYI, I am Jack's Loft Iced Tea's bitch. I drank most of the fishbowl and couldn't sleep all night.

Crappy day

Yes I have had, and am still having a crappy day. My pc at work has been on the fritz since Friday, and Saturday was spent trying to fix the thing's cloaker. To my despair, that was only a quick fix. Today I could not open the program I need to log my links AT ALL. So i decided to just transfer my files and request a new CPU from IT. Well, I have a new CPU. And the cloaker i need still isn't installed. I.can't.work. This sucks. I hate this feeling of helplessness.

It's a good thing i got a dvd burned of Bee movie. I sure hope this works later. Or I am so gonna be pissed.

Random office/work related things

While I'm doing something non-work related. Overshot my quota for the week since I've been fighting with our accomplishment program thingy.



My reputation precedes me. Because of this blog people don't believe me when I say I'm full.



I attract malice for some reason. Is that coz I'm a single? (God kill me if i become a double)



And to that effect, most of the friends i have from other departments are boys. I really am a dude.

Blind Item number 2

Who is hiding inside his station?

If you know him you'd know who this is immediately.

Blind Item number 1

Whose legs are intertwined?

I'll never tell...

It's all in the family.

No that was not my lunch. It really is in the family. Last Sunday, we went with my brother to enter the Yoshinoya Gyudon eating contest. Since he already is the record holder for one of their branches, this was just a backup thing, and we figured, he already did it once, he could do it again.

And do it again he did. He now holds the record for two branches of Yoshinoya for fastest time eating two bowls of gyudon.

It went by so fast we wanted to enter. But for the life of me i cannot think of what i'd do if i won. We wanted to enter for the most bowls eaten haha.

Figures that when I told people they only said that he was really my brother. My reputation precedes me thankyouverymuch.

I like orchestras

I really do. But I'm not as bad as Joannaman who wants the Philharmonic to play at her wedding. Nevermind the price of the thing, where would she fit all those people? Then again, she did say she wasn't gonna be the one getting married.



At this point my brother may be the only one who is.



Back to my point. I like orchestras. I swooned when the Manila Symphony Orchestra played with Sugrafree at the Music Museum, so when we heard that they were gonna play with Urbandub at the UP Fair, my sister and I were there. Nevermind that last time I went to UP Fair my phone got stolen. (It was taken from my pocket which I felt, that was violating to say the least) Nevermind that it was last Tuesday and I had work the next day.



Honestly I am not a huge fan of the band, but I like their lyrics. I know like 4 songs by ear. The rest I read.



When I got there I saw a lot of people that looked like the people who took my phone last year (the type kept anonymous but if you know me just ask) and everytime they passed by a took a step away. I like my phone thankyouverymuch. And the contents, please. The pictures alone could ruin reputations. (If those people's reputations weren't already)



Sad though the orchestra only played two songs with Urbandub. But I loved the experience nonetheless. Even if i had to suffer through countless bands I can't stand to hear them. I did see Marc Abaya perform for the album launch/10 year anniversary of Sandwich.



He is so dreamy. Normally I don't like the whole shaved head thing. But he's one of the few who can carry it off. And for a rocker he looks like he smells gooood. And I'm a sucker for that.

We left right after Urbandub. Slapshock was next. I'm really really NOT a fan.

Back to college... growing up.

Growing up was the nickname of our group of drinkers 3rd year 2nd sem of college. And since I met up with the peeps last Saturday, it felt like going home. Met up at Much's house. Talked. Drank a little. (I had a beer ok? I got peer pressured by rc) It felt nice. Laughing with the same old peeps. RC, Much, Cent, Pat, Julie. Pinay. Oh, I brought Karen along. We had to leave early, but the next time, Imma stay. Mom even commented that she was expecting me to come home in the morning since she knew who I was with.

I think I actually crashed a fortheboys thing. thanks for the invite guys.

Sunday Mom, Joannaman and I went to SM so we could get away from home. Ate at Kimono Ken for lunch. The service was strange.. the waiter kept repeating our order then got it wrong... They wouldn't leave the kikkoman at the table too. The food was fun though. Had the noodles again.. But for the first time could not finish my meal... What is happening to me?

Can i just say I felt like such an adult yesterday? I had to open an atm account since keeping my cash at home makes me wanna spend it all, and the only account i have is the company paycard. So i opened an atm account to keep it away from me. Since I have no ID I had to get my barangay clearance for banking, and yay when we got there they offered to get the cedula thing that i had to get for work. So i felt so accomplished, grownup wise.

But we're not Chinese..

But mom bought Chinese food to celebrate Pa's birthday. Dimsum and the like. And Pa bought the grilled stuff we love from Ihaw Balot Plaza, this place we've always liked but never visited. It was so beerhouse-y when we suggested the place to Joannaman's friends who were all manly men, they refused to go there. Our dad frequented the place when he was younger so we all got takeout grilled squid and tuna.

I was so freaking full I couldn't even eat the pistachio ice cream Mom bought.

I got a mango bravo from Conti's as cake. And we put the really gay candle on it. Pa almost singed his eyebrows coz he was leaning over the thing before it started to flare up.

It was fun. Just the family. Though Tito Monching, Pa's best friend came over, and after a few hours, Ate Ins, Kuya Uel, and Kuya Butch.

I got a Kuya Butch hug. Weee. He never falters to smell really good. And Ate Ins was beautiful as always. I loved the preppie thing she had going on (then again I am a sucker for preppie).

I am my father's daughter

And it is his birthday today. Weeee!!

Yes I am my father's daughter in so many ways. I look like him. Well half... While my sister is a carbon copy of my mom and my brother is a twin of my pop a generation late, I am a mix of my parent's features. And from what i see, I inherited a few of his mannerisms and personality traits too.

-We are both awkward with affection, but choose to surprise you in bursts of warmth. Generally though of as cold, we have our moments of drama.

-We can both drink you under the table. Well. When in fighting form.

-We both are ruled by our impulses, and can sometime be in the middle of a project and say (or think to ourselves) "I did not think this through."

-We are creatures of habit.

-We like the time with friends. Sometimes even more than our time with our family.

-Both quiet when pissed, don't talk to us if you don't want to hear harsh words that we'd like to take back when we're calm.

-We like to smell good.

It's my dad's 54'th birthday today.

The postcard

I took a picture.

Take note of the postscript. :D

What a full saturday.

And this is from someone who says she's gonna spend less. Yes. I have many projects in the works. For the house, for myself and with that in mind i should be going out less and blowing my salary on food and drink, but here i am, still going out at every opportunity.

Friday was with the gay cliques. First with RC, Ren and Kiko and Karen for dinner at Gateway, then with Pao, Martin and Karen for dessert. We were supposed to go to Bellini's but went there too late. I've yet to introduce to them the wonder of their sweet wine (my favorite alcoholic drink in the whole wide world)but i have time. They're not going anywhere(yet). Went to Butter Diner instead. Nachos, milkshakes, brownies and sick sick sick talk of chicken littles and balls of furies and massagers/vibrators. Fun night. I wonder if we could do this once a week, or at least once a month. So many good movies coming up. I know who I'm going with!

Saturday. Lants(according to ren) out day. Went to Megamall supposedly for the Food Expo, but realized we had little time and no assurance we'd be eating at the thing so we went to Cabalen instead. I was a little apprehensive. I like Filipino food homecooked. (I still do) But went anyway. Eat all you can. I was full after a plate but still went to the dessert buffet and had my simple halo-halo.

Went to Tita Lani's after work. Mark's parents. Since Mark went to the US, Ate Mae got married, and Madel went to college mom thought it'd be a nice thing to do to visit them and we did miss them. Yes. Mark is still the perfect man. And yes he still has to find that perfect woman (coz for sure none of us is). When I heard about his life in the states from his parents I was in awe. I could never do that. Go to a whole new country alone to work. Not having any immediate family within a thousand miles. I applaud Mark. And i miss him.

His mom made pasta and fruit salad. I ate two bowls of the salad. And a plate of the pasta.

But i was still raring to go to Chateau Verde since we couldn't find it the other week. Lo and behold we found it. Date place. Thank God there weren't any couples when we arrived. Since we were full from the food from Mark's we just ordered a salad and dessert. Fun mango themed desserts. Still love my Chockiss though. But if you want directions to the place I'd be happy to show ya. For a slice of cake thankyouverymuch.

And last night Ate went over to Mark's place since the package he sent last November had arrived. I didn't go since i had to arrange my new cabinet (i was kicked out of my room).

When Joannaman got home she was carrying this huge box she told me to open and show Mom. Then told me to read the postcard. (i've yet to scan it but will post it soon) Almost teared up when i read the postscript "Jods get the hypnose." One it was addressed Jods (which is my all time favorite nickname if you say it right). Second, it was so matter of factly written. The rest of the card read that Joannaman and Ate Ana would decide what they would get each since he put random stuff in there. I would get the hypnose. Made me miss Mark even more. I just hope he is happy there. He is still the perfect perfect man. And i feel very lucky that even though i know him from my sister i still got to see what a decent good man is.

Enough of the gushing. I can't wear the perfume yet. It looks so fancy in its case. I don't wanna ruin it. Haha.
