on sweets and getting fat
Saturday, September 16, 2006
i tell you this. one can never have enough sweets in their life. dunno, but i think everyone's fate has already been sealed but it will all boil down to how soon or how serious it would be... if if it was bound happen before we die. but thing is, if every one of us is immortal, the only thing that could probably kill us is diabetes.others fall inlove with chocolates, some with candies but in my case, it'll be cakes. i cant remember when it started... but i think i could blame my past suitor who would give me a small box of chocolate mousse from red ribbon every other night when we found out that i looove chocolate mousse. then when he found out that i didnt share the cake with my mom and siblings, he started buying two, one for me and one for my family. needless to say, i also have a piece of the other cake... i mean, he's MY suitor afterall. and from then on, i knew life is better with cakes. i would love to become a baker and/or work in a patisserie. but then again, i really dont have the talent that would require the word "kitchen" or anything synonymous to that. i dunno, maybe i could do it someday.
that's it for now. eating hungrypac's chocolate cake, they claim to be the best (homemade) chocolate cake. well, it's good alright. they sell it for 35php per single serving. bought a bigger one with double fudge for 130+. they told me its equivalent to 4 servings. well, doesnt look like it though... it looks small enough for one person to eat. saves me from the guilt.
btw, for those who would say that im so lucky that i dont get fat, well i do!!! my tummy bulging right now from the baby back ribs, kfc chicken, sausages, spaghetti, burger, pizza and cake i ate for two days. i hate it! why does it has to be my stomach that gets bigger when i can think of another part that definitely needs more fat. nevermind.... this cake is worth it anyway. no regrets.

work-life balance: work, sleep and ... err alcohol?
Friday, September 15, 2006
i didnt know that people are actually reading my blogs. since i got additional tasks in office, friends keep on telling me that they noticed that i blog less. do i? i dont know. maybe im worrying to much when i really shouldnt. really should take it slow.and so im hitting the brakes just a bit. a workaholic never hit it full stop, so just a little jab, i guess. was about to treat the my staff out for lunch today but due to some mis-scheduling, decided to move it on tues so everyone can attend. i ended up with 15-pc KFC bucket meal order that i can no longer cancel. but no worries. i mean, its never to hard to find people to share food with. so i decided to call mike and some other friends, give them some and still had a lot to bring home for the family.
boyfriend and i also dined at tony roma's... ordered the usual roma's feast but instead of my routinary refillable iced tea, i decided to try some cocktails, some orange juice drink tagged as screwdriver. it was nice and the effect was a real hit on the head. i havent really slept well the whole week. and my smart bf didn't want me to go to sleep at past 2am... saying it was too early. early for what??? for christmas?!!! thing is, he thought that yesterday was a friday and since i 'theoretically' dont have work on weekends, i could stay up late. so i slept around 3am reading through the VT codes***(definition's available upon request to bore you to death).
anyway...here i am, at home with a slight headache coz my mind wants to get on with php and all that dev stuff but i couldnt coz alcohol has dulled my brain but not enough to let me fall asleep. argh!!! i really CANT sleep so i decided to buy another cocktail from the convenience store... this time labelled as mudshake (vodka and chocolate). i've had this before with abi. interesting...it tastes like coke float. hahaha.
maybe after posting this and a few more gulps, the brain would give in and let the body rest.

nonsense
i can't blog. my mind is sooo empty right now. i took time off today to treat abi to a movie and dinner date. it was her birthday last tues, and when i asked her what she wants for a bday gift (that would fit my budget), she said she would like to see the devil wears prada movie.so even if i was hesitant to leave my work (you know, i think im becoming a workaholic), i decided it would do me good to relax. actually i even filed for a day-off on monday just to extend my weekends. wonder if i could stay away from my laptop for even a day or maybe just stay offline. (......long pause) nah. i know i cant do that. i really wanted to build something using ajax and php and postgres if i got free time to do it... and thats during the weekend. so there! i might be offline but i would continue reading and doing ajax. you just cant help but fall in love with ajax, the technology used by gmail where users wont be noticing reloading of pages.
anyways, where was i? ah yeah, relaxing. geez, maybe i do need to relax. i mean without laptop and all that. but i cant see myself doing it right now. i tried to play something today on the piano (... and yes, it did sound horrible) and started thinking about databases and php and process flows. im losing it. this week i noticed a strand of white hair... my hair! ok... so there were a couple of them hiding who just decided out of the blue to show themselves. argh! i am getting old faster than ever. but when i saw my blockmate (college-mate) today, he said i could cut my hair short, put on a pin and i'd look the same as our freshman days. yeah right. you mean like freshman years who'd seen the worst of the Math 50series exams.
also he said that its funny how people remember the names of your classmates that's unusually noisy or just plain unusual. you'd remember the rest (those who doesnt make a lot of noise) by face but not by name. this guy was not really part of my circle of friends and he remembered my FULL name. geez, was i unusually noisy back then? or worst, just plain unusual? i wonder how others categorized me back in college.
hey look... i just did my blog entry! pure babble though.

a plea for speedy evolution
Thursday, September 07, 2006
i had enough of it! do you know how scary it is to go inside a public restroom here in the philippines? i'm a girl and uses the female's room (duh! that should be obvious!) but its horrifying how some women havent evolve into full-blown modern day species of homosapiens.restrooms are to be considered as holy grounds for the female race. why? because everyday we have to use them more than once... and not for just to heed the call of our excretory system. you know very well that is just one over a number of reasons why we go there. its a place to share secrets, experiment with beauty tips, try out out the best hairdo that goes with the get-up, practice our cheeriest smiles, mysterious eye contact, etc.
and unlike our male counterparts (zip, open, piss), we have to do it in a more subtle manner. THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WHY YOU SHOULD SIT LIKE A PRINCESS AND NOT LIKE THE STUPID FROG!
lets get things straight, the PRINCE (that's a male deary) turned into a FROG and the PRINCESS (thats us) saved him from eternal warts problem. i really dont understand why some women just dont get it. if all of us would just unite for this cause, then it wouldnt be THAT painful to use a free public restroom. it's soooo frustrating how others seem to ignore the pleas that almost all toilet cubicles have. or if you can't do it, then just refrain from using the ones for disabled people. at least, that would ensure that those with walking disability (or those who have vowed to use the sacred place respectfully) wont have to bear sitting on a dirty throne.
and would you please leave the tissue behind! geez, are you going to have tissue paper for dinner too?!!!

manila is sinking
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
yesterday, i got stranded on my way home coz of the heavy floods. taxis wouldnt entertain any passenger bound to manila. i tell you, one would appreciate the daily manila traffic during rush hours compared to what i experienced. besides the usual bumper-to-bumper situation, there are countless vehicles that switch lanes every chance they get just to move forward... and the occasional banging of the side mirrors and the hot-tempered drivers who would lower down their windows to shout at each other. it was totally insane! traffic jam at its finest!i dont mind sitting all night inside the car as long as when i get off, there's land. i mean, when i opened the taxi door, everything was covered by water... err flood. and i have no choice but but to walk my way home or at least until i can get another ride. the flood rose up to above knee-high (above MY knees and i was wearing high heels), with the frequent waves caused by the passing of cars. needless to say, my shoes gave up on me in the process. i had to run and buy new pair just now.
oh did i mention that this condition wasnt just yesterday? i just got home today from the office, walked on the flooded street without an umbrella coz my taxi driver refused to go forward and thus asked me to get off his car. i think i just ruined the new shoes i bought.
two flood-infested days... two ruined shoes. manila is sinking!!! &*@#^(! the election is nearing so would someone do something about this?!!! i don't know how to swim yet!!!! help!!!
