yyaaakkk...

I have to stop for a bit.

Sigh.

I've been reading zombie stories a few hours after my last post. Thus explains my lack of interest in my blog for a few weeks now. I've been deep in zombie guts that I've forgotten all about watching Bear Grylls eat raw snakes and falling into deep holes (lol on that one).

Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Even brave enough to add a dash of ketchup. While reading about guts and blood. Eyeballs popping yellow puss. Maggots. The smell of shit hitting the fan. A thousand rotting corpses. Ripping. "Chewing". I have a very active imagination and sense of smell. Despite that, I held my food in. No vomiting of sorts. Yeah. I have boobs of steel and claws in my vajayjay.

But then, I happened upon a story that turned my stomach. The one and only story that made me want to hurl. It's a story about oldies (60-70 year olds) fighting over a guy and having sex with him even though he is already a zombie. It results to one of them having a rotting vagina. He's a great writer. Described it perfectly. Once again, I have a very wild imagination. Cursed.

I can totally relate to Sheldon when Howard said that "Gammy" had sex and she liked it. Nobody talks about Gammy that way!! Yaaakk.

So we're here. I'm still trying to hold my lunch down.

My zombie scenarios have rubbed off on Sanga. It worries me because she is paranoid at times. But it's nice to cuddle and plan with the Sanga about the layout of our zombie proof fortress. It's kinda like planning about a wedding and kids. Only a bit more morbid than most.

:p

unfinished business

The Sanga has this habit of ordering mounds of food (3-5 different kinds), eating a few bites, and then stocking them until she has the urge to eat them again.

For example, she would order Jollibee Champ, fries and pancakes. Then I would wake up to a half eaten burger, a few missing holes on the pancakes, 5 pcs. of fries, and a half eaten chow mien (she got bored with her array of food and had to cook up another one).

I once saw a half eaten (half dissolved rather) lollipop.. (-_-)*

It never ceases to amaze me how she will never touch fish without soy sauce, kalamansi, and chili. Never forget to ask for additional ketchup or else she'll never touch the chicken.

Now, we have a whole shelf labeled as "Sanga's land of unfinished stuff". A few gulps of coke/rootbeer here and there. 2 pcs of Toblerone. Kitkat bites. Yakult. Yan2x. Loaker. Chocolate pudding. Milk. Nuts. Candy stuff. Chocolate covered polvoron.

I complained once about the shelf. So she tried to eat everything on that shelf at once.

(pardon the crappy photo)

And then she raved on for a few hours because of a sugar high. Oh my bleeding ears.

There's no point to this post actually. I just find her and her shelf amusing. Mehehee. I'm currently staring at the half eaten chicken wing on the table.

I'll probably post about her sleeping habits next. Oh you won't want to miss that!

COTton TEXtile (Kotex)

The Great Pax of the Fashion World
aka My Sanga

As you all know, the Sanga tends to drag me everywhere she goes and just bribes me with promises of food. The Kotex blogger event was no exception. She figured "Hey she's (kind of) a blogger and there's food!" equates to "You're going. No excuses". After all, lezzies menstruate too.


Being a part of the Kotex event, I owe it to them to broadcast what I loved about their product to all my avid readers... All 6 of them + me. I read my blog too. Plus I deem it important to know that I suspect the rice was cooked with chicken stock instead of the regular water. But enough of that. I'm supposed to be blogging about Kotex.

So there I was. Smack in the middle of the most girliest people you can imagine. Gasp! The Horror! Right? ...... Meh. I admit. I like their company. Yes, they were still overproducing estrogen and still talked about shoes but they make the world a much more beautiful place.

(There's more of 'em. LOTS more.)

My mind absorbs non-sense things like where the most expensive coffee came from (Cat poop!! We have our own version - motit coffee in the Cordillera and kape alamid in Tagalog areas). I'm not a geek. Really.

So I'd like to bore you with what I read (years ago. somewhere. written on some paper. not sure if it's 100% accurate) about the beginnings of Kotex. It's interesting to know that they were first manufactured as bandages during the World War I. They developed an absorbent wadding from wood that was about 5x more absorbent than cotton and called dubbed it Cellucotton. I thought it was pretty cool. They even supplied it to the war department at cost and refused to make a healthy profit from it. Who does that? It says a lot about their company, eh?
When the war ended, taa daaaa!! No more reusing of cloth rags!

Sidenote : Can you imagine soldiers (with huge manly guns, scars and cigars) charging into war with feminine pads stuck to their foreheads? Ha! Of course, they weren't shaped like the pads we use but can you imagine them with Indie Chic pads? Legendary!

WOW (Why Only White?). Their new product is just lovely. I actually considered filling a frame with those pads. We're probably going to use them now that Sanga is already in love with them. Pssshh.. Girls. Well, it's still as absorbent (if not more) as it was in the battle fields. I actually can't feel any wetness while wearing it. And it's definitely comfortable. I didn't feel like there was something stuck down there.

I conclude that I must be a magnet. Before, during and after the presentation, cameras magically flew onto my shoulders. The girls took pictures in every corner of that damned place. Every angle. Every possibility. I may whine a lot about Sanga dragging me into stuff like these but in reality, I really just like being with her. Ew. Cheese.

on events and such

As usual, the Great Pax of the Fashion World is busy. That means I'm busy as well.

And yes, the rumor is true. All I ever did during the Metro wedding thing was hunt the food people. When they didn't stop by me anymore, I stalked them until they gave up and just handed me whatever I wanted.

(salmon + pancakes... yaaahhhhhh)

You should know that no one comes between me and my smoked salmon stacked on mini mini awesome pancakes with fish eggs. And my tuna rolled in sesame seeds. And my lamb sandwich. And my pork pie. And my panceta with cottage cheese. And my bacon tomato mini tarts. And my peperoni pizza. And my vanilla caramel ice cream. I'm still dreaming of that smoked salmon. Hmmm.. Slurp.

Sanga didn't want to mess up her makeup so I just ate her share. The caterers didn't believe me when I told them I'm eating for two (not in a pregnant kind of sense - what were they thinking?). What's up with that? I was being totally honest.

Rachel Alejandro. She was a singer right? I think I had some sort of childhood crush on her.

I'm starting to like events despite having to take a million photos of the same pose but with different widths in terms of smile and face angles. Just feed me. Heck, I even went to a super duper girly event yesterday! I should probably write something decent for Kotex. It's the least I can do. Plus I met some really cool people there.

Cge. Next post!

yowza!

I have boobs of steel. Or eagle eyes. I'm getting pretty good at this counter snipe game I've been recently addicted to. I've been getting lots of practice since The Great Pax is usually still asleep as I arrive. Just something to pass time.

It's pretty fun but kinda stressful to the eyes. You have to find the targets. Sometimes only the heads are showing. That is so wrong, man! So wrong. And they're only like small dots on the screen.

(My avatar looks constipated)

See? Just added the red arrow. It's point to the head of your target. And the map is HUGE. There are 3 more buildings right beside this gray one. You have to pan left and right. Up and down. A B A B. Select start.

Not only do you have to find the target, you also have to shoot it while the gun is "swaying" around. I find that cursing the mouse does not help. You have to summon all your patience. Mind fuck it. Find your inner "rhythm". And then click. Insane. Just insane! I tell ya!

But, oh how I love a good challenge.



Yep. That's me. Waving the Philippine Flag on Second place (24,300 - sniped 80 guys, all headshots with 95% accuracy --- once again, Boobs Of Steel). If PNoy sees this, he'll definitely give me a medal or something. But I'll settle for a house and lot. The guy in first place has 25,100 points. But the 3rd guy only has 8k points. Talk about eating our dusts (for the day)!

Anyway, The Great Pax better wake up soon or else I'm going to need some sort of intervention. On the other hand, my peripheral vision is just awesome now.


Post Scriptum :
Hoy Isabel. You're right. My eyes were rolling as I read your post about "saving". Di nga? Totoo? Weh. Weh?

i like waffles

o.0

My boss is going to kill me. I can't stop staring at my wrist.

No, I don't have some sick wrist fetish nor do I have suicidal tendencies.

I just like staring at what is on my wrist. It's so purrrddyyy.. :p~~ (tulo-laway or 2 baby snakes entering your mouth -- which ever way you look at it)

This isn't really my watch but it looks just like it.. But my watch is 100x more purdier. And a lot more "clean" looking. Classy, eh? Just the way I like it. It's so purdy that I even caught a few guys looking at it. I'm a proud momma. I'm going to have to post a picture of it soon.


It is Sanga's gift. For what? I have no idea. My birthday is 2 months away and I did not do anything worthy of it (like saving the world or doing the laundry... waaiittt.. She doesn't expect me to do the laundry after this right? -_- )

Pa sweet ang Sanga. Heeee.. But what I treasured more were the words scribbled on the card she gave me. Akalain mo?

Plus she cooked for me before coming to work. This is amazing. Just so you know, she hates cooking. I do the cooking 99.99% of the time.

Absolutely mind boggling. There must be something on the internet to explain such behavior.

Hmm.. I think she might be in love with me.

(If you stare at her baby picture long enough, you'll see an image of a shoe or a bag.)

----
Holy shit. She posted a link of my blog on her blog. I'm going to have to get her for that as soon as I'm home.

tanginang aso yan binuntis yung legs ko

My left ankle still smells of dog saliva. And my right leg is pregnant. I asked him if he could support our many many children (based on how fast he was bumping uglies, I think he could repopulate the earth and a few neighboring planets all by himself). All he could utter amidst all the grinding was "Aw Rawrrff".

Trying to reach my legs. Thank God for small dogs.

The moment we entered the house, all the molecules in our bodies were greedily inhaled. Lei just said "This is Zypher. Oh, umm.. he likes lezzies". And so the humping journey began. Aisa was spared (only because she has the bisexual vibe) but he just loved the scent of my feet. Yay me.

Anyway, I endured the allergies and dog friskiness because it was Sanga's birthday. She is now officially my "ate" for 3 months. She hates it. So I call her "ate" every chance I get.

Sanga is a pussy (not the bastos kind, you weirdo). The picture below will be exhibit A.
We were inside the cave for barely a minute. She immediately sensed danger -- which roughly translates to -> her shoes were going to get muddy. Arte! She held on to the headlamp like it was her only salvation. I seriously could not pry it away from her. All she could utter was "my shoes! augh.. omygodomygodomygod.. babyyyy.. ayoko na ditoooooo"
She was scared of something else though. I do agree. It was kripi! It felt like someone was watching you and you'll be ambushed by something ugly if you took another step.

I didn't notice it before but the place is teeming with dogs and lezzies. There's probably a rugmuncher for every square meter. Cool. Parteh.

Lion? Bear?

I've always thought that Baguio was awesome. It reminded me of home .. minus the humping dogs of course.

oh gloria gloria

She hates me.

Gloria Jean just hates me.


I drank a cup of white chocolate mocha thingy yesterday because "The Sanga" met up with her Rob friends. A few hours later, I was practically married to the toilet seat. Gave it my all. Something (I can't say where) is sore. Seconds turned to hours. Yeah. I'm not afraid to talk about my bowel movements.


The agony.

Torture.

Anguish.

Drama.

LOL.

As I was sitting there - holding on for dear life, I realized how cruel life can be. Being stuck to the toilet seat like that makes you ponder a lot of stuff - the most important things in life.

For example,

Hitting two birds with one stone. Why on earth would anyone want to hit two birds with one stone? Unless it's a survival thing, of course. But I can barely stomach hitting one. What makes people think it's better to hit two? And -- at the same time no less!
When I was in grade school, I cried my eyes out whenever I heard that Tagalog song "Mamang kay lupit. Ang puso moy di nahabag.. ". You know that song? We had to perform it on-stage. Can you imagine holding back your tears and mucous while playing the flute? No you can't.

I know someone who passes time at grocery stores by poking small holes in condom packets. He likes giving surprises to everyone. Mean ass! :p




Why is she allowed to wear a cape and I'm not? (referring to the white outfit on the left).
How come Sanga boinks me on the head and gives me the "evil, cold and judging" eye if I even as much as hint about wearing capes?

Can you guess what those are? Hee hee

Breast implants creep me out. I saw this thing on television where they exhumed a porn star and her breast implants were still intact. They really do last forever.

Hmm. Never again. But it's such a delicious way to purge my colon though.. ^-^

a revelation

The Great Pax of the Fashion World and Aiza Liit commented on my blog. And apart from them, I have 2 followers. Yes, count it baby. 1 2.


I just realized something..



OMG.



I'm famous!!! For reals dude! Woot woot! Kalokaaa!! (I really like saying this word - kalurkey lurkey) LOL. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for the support! mwwahh.

So now that I'm famous and all, I guess I owe it to my followers to continue the 30-day challenge with vigor and renewed strength.

Actually, I'm really just bored at work. I've already memorized my boss' (very nice guy in real life) nose cleaning techniques (ew-ness. He has 5. Not that you need to know). Seriously, the guy has mini mounds of booger on his table. Whadapak. As I am writing this, I am strongly holding back the urge to take a picture.

So.. To keep my sanity :

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
Seriously. I've been to a shitty comfort room in La Union. Nobody wants a picture of that. But yeah, I'm happy to say I've been to places here and abroad.

Recent one. The Ruins of Bacolod. Visited Aisa's family.

Day 06- Favorite super hero and why
Grade one teh?

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you
A picture of my mom? Blech. Boring. Oh! Poor her. She broke her ankle in two places but she's all right now. Old people are soo brittle. I worry.
I bought her, my sister and stepdad tickets to Singapore for their birthdays. Despite the cast, she's still excited to go. How excited, you ask? Already perfected her Japan2x, Korean2x photo poses. Activated her roaming thing. Bought new "outfits". Bought snacks just in case they get hungry while touring. Paid bills. Arranged every small detail the housekeeper should do while they're away. Bought enough doggie supplies for Boo. This was done approximately a month before the actual flight date. Now, she's rethinking her outfit due to recent accident. She's ranting that she can't wear shorts anymore.


Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

Tsk. This one is easy.
Yeah. I am proud of her. They are not my achievements of course but I am happiest when she's happy. And she's happiest while doing her thing. Fashion styling. Blogging. Mga ka artehan. I accompanied her yesterday because she needed to shop for this Friday's styling stint. People give her free stuff. She gives free stuff to people. And she's going to participate in an event where she's going to style a kid that needs to boost her confidence. She's just ecstatic about it.


And I'm not bored anymore so 'til next time!

day 04 - totally bored

I'm bored at the office. Plus my allergies are "epal"-ing.

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have

I really don't know. I already asked "the sanga" and she says she can't cite any right now. Hmm.. I must be a goddess. I'm, like, perfect you know.

Is overeating considered a habit? If it is, then I really really should stop! Boo.

day 3?

Lapsing. LOL. But "the sanga" is too busy to notice. Buti naman. She has a bazaar coming up + she's being flooded by sponsors. Wow. I have a celebrity girlfriend. I'm so proud of her. Heee.

Day 03- A picture of you and your friends

I don't have any friends because I'm cooler than everybody. And this is my SONG <-- can't seem to stop singing this. The End.

...

Fine.

These are some of my climb friends. We have experienced eating "sinigang" at night without our lamps (forgot to bring one).. only to find out in the morning that the cabbages/green leafy veggies were actually mixed with grasses. And mud. Very healthy.


This is the boobs. I've told her a LOT. She was my thesis partner in HS and she finishes my half eaten chocolate bars. She slaps me when I rant. But I still rant anyway.

And these are the recent pictures of the guys I hang out with during the troubling HS through college years and the first 3 years of my yuppie life. They're in Cebu. We fight a lot.


Oh. Then there's Phoebe and Elaine. My next door neighbors. And then there's Tessa. Hmm.. Augghh.

I hate uploading pictures. Maybe you can just check out my fb no? :D

Oink oink.

day 02

Oh what joy. I still have 28 more days. Mehehehe

Day 02- The meaning behind your Blogger name

Hmmm.. I don't know actually. I was thinking along the lines of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum but it was too long. I saw someone on TV say "twinkletoes" so I just put an "and" in between. Someone is Twinkle and the other one is Toes.. :D

Looking back, I really should have just put "tweedle" instead. Maybe it's time for a change in blog name? I don't have readers anyway. And this will forever remain to be a personal blog - unlike someone I know who actually now has followers! Nice! :)

On a side note, black out all over Metro Manila. We're back to the age where candles were valued at P100 a stick.

day 01

Augghh.. Upon further insistence of "the sanga", I'm starting day 1 with excitement and anticipation for the coming days.

Day 01 - A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

yep. that's me. sometimes i wonder.

Now for the facts :
1 - I have vampire teeth. Maybe I was British in my previous life. I used to have retainers but they were no match for my awesome fangs. People have been suggesting that I should get braces but then Jopek (a dentist) said that the Japanese even have a special clinic to force crooked teeth. So I'm keeping them kasi "in" ako sa Japan.. :D

2 - I love food. I drool for hours on end watching the Food Network. Whenever I visit other places, I drag sanga to the different restos to try out their specialties. But food is second only to my gf (but only because she'll throw sharp things at me if she reads this and she's not number 1 -- kidding. We're totally hooked on each other).

3 and 4 combo! - I collect movies. I have stacks of dvds in my apartment. I just loovveee the undead! The thing I hate the most is when people borrow them and "forget" to return them. I've "lost" at least 50 dvds. I hope they have dvd nightmares.

5 - I was born in Zamboanga. Grew up in Cebu. And now in Manila. I could change my name to Luzvisminda if I wanted to.

6 - I love cartoons, NGC, Discovery channel, Lifestyle and Food Network. I remember wrestling with my sister for the remote because she hates them (except for toons. the others make her comatose)

7 - I like pets. Dogs, etc. I think I've always been the nurturing kind. But I don't want to be responsible for one. I was scarred as a kid. My pet dog (a beautiful white doggie named Jack2x) died defending our house from a snake (we live on the mountains of Cebu and Zamboanga). He had a snake in his mouth when they found him and a few snake bites all over. My sister has 2 pet dogs which I'm currently spoiling from miles away.. :D

8 - I have a weird feeling that infants are attracted to my hair or something. Most of the kids keep on staring at me. They're looking at something on my face. I think they're wondering why the man has boobies.

9 - I'm geeky. I know a trivia or two :)

10 - I like "extreme" sports. I've always been interested in them.

11 - I can draw, sing and punch really hard. I think I'm talented. Or delusional.

12 - I hate raisins. But I love prunes. Maybe because prunes are bigger? I dunno why exactly. It's just is.

13 - I'm really not very interesting. I'm thinking of 2 more things to put on here.

14 - I love musicals! And I'm not afraid to admit that. I'm easily attracted to people who can sing or cook.

15 - I came out to my mom through a text message because I was afraid she'd barge into the airport and mince me. She then replied "I'm your mother. I will always love you and your sister". I should let her join the awesome mother of the month contest.

So that's 15! Done! Woop woop! :D

30 days of night (awesome movie btw)

Upon the insistence of a certain person, let's call her "sanga", I'm also going to have to do the 30 day blog thing. Relationship requirement. It's either this or "sanga" will talk my ears off.

zommbiieee boommm booommm

I dream of zombies. I actually have fun screaming in my sleep. I don't know why. Anyway, last night, I had another adventure. I actually voluntarily became a zombie (This never happens. Just as I'm about to be bitten, I magically grow wings and fly off. hehehe. My dream. My rules.)

So.. I was one of those flesh eaters I love to bash because Aisa became a zombie. But when we were at the dinner table eating God-knows-what (her zombie mom was there as well. weird), she revealed that she fell in love with a zombie guy and now they have zombie babies. WTF? I became a zombie for you, you ass. LOL. So anyway, I moved on after a few seconds. I knew I wasn't like those regular mindless freaks eating the flesh off bones. I was on a mission. I was in some sort of zombie fort and there were zombie bouncers guarding the gate. For some reason, I had the urge to get out and find a cure for myself. See. Even as a zombie, I'm weird and cool (I had a sword. A very cool sword.. therefore, I declare that I'm cool. :D).

I got out eventually and weird stuff happens (as all weird stuff pours out during dreams). Then there were a million trash bags and when I opened one, a kid was staring back at me. Zombies were about to devour him/her (I honestly don't know the gender). There was a fight scene. Blah blah. So the kid used to be a zombie and now he/she was cured! Cool. And then my alarm pulled me out of the ending. Pak dat shet.

I don't know where this is going but I'll make a movie out of this. Any takers? :p

hay buhay..

Do you know what's scarier than holding on for dear life 20-stories up in the air? Or crossing chest deep rivers? Any ideas? No? It's shopping for a chictopian style icon.

I went to the opening of F21 (to surprise her) and there was a line to get inside the actual store. They upgraded their security guards into club bouncers. Huge huge guys - as if the people who shop there actually need to be wrestled! On second thought, I think those girls did look scary when they fought over something glittery.

Anyway, I looked for the one she pointed out. But then another girl suggested buying this other necklace and then another. I asked 3 sales ladies, 2 random girls and then 1 girl with her posse of 4. These ten stylish but confusing girls had different opinions so I ended up buying 3 necklaces. I was totally relieved to get out of that store. My god. The things you do when you're stupidly in love. It's a good thing I got free kisses for my effort.. :)

mrt? bus? fx?

I've been working in Makati now for about 4 months. And the commute is just pure hell. Nyahaha! I've gotten used to it though. Now I join the symphony of snores by my fellow fx-ers.

Going to Makati from Marikina is a no-brainer. But going home? Ohhh the choices. Should I take the bus? MRT? Jeepney? FX? Taxi? Fly?

Taxi is a no-no. Unless you're rich, then by all means go and flag those demons down. (Yes, I still have a thing against most - not all - taxi drivers)

MRT? Sounds like a time and money-saver right? MRT = long lines and pushing! There's a long line for the jeepney that takes you to the station. At the station, there a long line for the tickets. And there's an even longeeerrrrrrrrrr 1000000x line to get inside. If you're lucky, you can get on the 1st or 2nd train. But I usually get on the 3rd one. Then you walk from Araneta to Gateway. And another long line (now bearable) for the FX. ETA : 2-3 hours

(see that look on that lady's face? pain. dread. the females have it easier though. i passed by the male cart and it smelt of mm.. men. i took this picture with someone's elbow on my kidneys and some girl's face stuck to my boobs. oh what joy)

FX behind Enterprise? This is ok though if you leave before the clock strikes 6. But if you get there at around 6:00:01, you'll be on a 2-3hour road trip. And then you'll have to get off at Concepcion and ride another jeepney to NGI. ETA : 1- 3 hours. Depending on your luck.

Best way to get home so far? Bus to Megamall and then FX to Marikina. Minus the bomb threats and if it's NOT raining, ETA is just around 1.5 hours. Awesome huh?

I really should learn how to fly.

update?

Wow. Strange. I haven't opened this since the medieval times. Too lazy.. :p Well.. I'm still with that crazy lady from lala land. And we've survived :

- Ondoy. God. That was a mess. I actually saw some dead fish on the muddy streets. Terribly missed the laid back weekends where we just pig out and watch DVDs. It's a good thing everything is back to normal.. ;) --- semi normal since Aisa has now upgraded my status into a Taga (tagabitbit tagabuhat tagataga). She's busy with work, school, business. Crazy. But I'm happy she's finally doing things she wants.

- Freezing my ass off in HK with Aisa's family. It was super fun! (understatement but I can't think of any words right now.. I could just jump up and down though to show how happy I was --> || um.. no jumping emoticon so I'll just do a *clap clap and ^___^ !)

- Spent our Valentine's day on Corregidor. You really should go there. You'll learn a lot. We're planning to go back for an overnight stay. More time = More activities. Aisa is excited about "ghost hunting". Um. Good luck with that dude.

- Sands in my butt by going to Boracay three times. Yes. Three times. I dunno why we even bought tickets. Augh. I'm never visiting that place again in the next 3 years. hehehe.. Don't get me wrong. We did lots of activities there. Reef walking, parasailing, etc. Ate our hearts out (especially loved the gelato and the lobster). But three times this year is really more than enough.

- "Surfing" in La Union. But I never got to surf. I valued my nose too much. We were scared off by the stories of broken noses and such. It was still fun to do the wave thing though.. :D

- Crossing the streets in Vietnam. It's an art form. I think it should be on the top 3 of the most dangerous things to do. Loved the place though. I could almost hear the bombs going off in the underground tunnels. And then we realized there used to be millions of dead people there. Kripi. Toured our hearts out plus Aisa bought her "comfiest shoes ever". So now we don't have to go back to HK for the other "comfiest shoes ever".

- Aisa's numerous fashion shows/shoots/meetings. 'Nuf said. ahahaha


Yep. My every day has been nothing short of crazy.. but I'm loving every second of it. Diba Sanga? :D

desserts

I love desserts (anything edible actually). I used to make my version of pastillas when I was kid. I just mixed drops of water with powdered milk and sugar. And then I'd dip it in condensed milk (talk about sugar rush). Honey tasted funky. It was a hit in my neighborhood! But I think it was mostly because kids eat anything handed to them.
I also used to put everything in my morning cereal and oats. Breakfast AND dessert at the same time. Peanutbutter, banana and cereal sandwich. Mutated refrigerator cakes. Blocks of cheese and fruits. I spent hours cupboard raiding and staring at "ingredients" in our mini store.
If I weren't a software engineer, I would have been a chef. Or a pastry chef. It's easier to calm my desire for food stuff now that I can actually afford it.
Why the sudden reminiscing of childhood fun stuff?
I've been hoarding again. My desk has crackers, awesome peanut butter, apple and cinnamon cookies, cashew nuts, leche flan, cranberry and cream bread. I'm thinking about buying fruits over the weekend to store here. MMmmm.. This won't be good for my waistline but Aisa said she'd still like me.

daily dose of furry goodness

(speak no evil)

(hear no evil)

(see no evil)

with no one challenging me, i choose to challenge myself

OK. Correction. I didn't really LIKE school. HELLLLLLL - this is my best description of it. But there were fun moments. What really drove me was the mental image of my mom hanging me upside down from the top of our very tall plum tree if I ever failed in any subject - including PE.

bucket list

1. Sky dive while eating a cheeseburger with lots and lots of pickles.. (on second thought, I really should put this at the very last of my list. I might die here and never get to do the others)

2. Visit the China and eat siopao. Mmm.. about 4 of 'em. I might as well visit the Great Wall of China, right?

3. White water rafting and kayaking. Now. I wanna do this now.

4. Take up cooking classes. This is why I'm "jiggly". I love food too much.

5. Learn sign language.

6. Earn a martial arts belt. No no no.. not the white belt. I want a belt at least 3 steps lower than the black belt. I have a green karate belt with brown stripes now but since I don't see myself going back to karate, I'll have to start again in my upcoming Aikido classes. Excited for Saturday! Woot!

7. Abs. I'm probably gonna achieve this in my late forties (mostly because I eat too much of everything).. but by then it wouldn't look so cool on my forty-ish body. Damned.

8. Learn a new language. I'm considering Mandarin. - this will probably take forever.. So I shouldn't die yet.

9. Visit France. Louvre museum. And I want to try that Parisian thing where you knock on your lover's door and flirt til you die of starvation.
Hmm.. I might as well strive for a Eurotrip right? Eurotrip it is!

10. Scuba dive. I'm still considering this one even if I have a sinus problem that would just kill me if there's too much pressure on my ears. I might not breathe or hear again but at least I can finally have a meaningful conversation with Flounder and Dory.


I'm pretty sure I'll come up with something else to add to my list. But for now, these are the things I wanna do before I die. I'm just happy I could do most of them with Aisa. Diba Sang?
