3 days, 2 nights

im surprised by myself yet again missing someone who i havent seen for a veeeery long time. sucks. it really sucks. but somehow i couldnt forget those 3 days that we spent together. nothing romantic or whatever. just... together. ive never had something so ordinary but very special at the same time.

you made me love having breakfast coz that meant the start of another whole day of doing whatever with you. you made packed lunch yummier than gourmet food. having coffee was the simplest yet sweetest bonding we had. that was OUR thing.

and even the ride back home, you made every bit of it unforgettable with your non-stop, straight english crazy rant-slash-monologue of how a jerk your friend is for taking your phone. it became a monologue when we all got tired of responding to you since you really didnt have a plan to stop talking hahaha. you know how i really didnt like to be an accomplice right? i wasnt really up to being a part of the prank coz i saw how worried you were about your phone. you looked so pathetic. pathetically cute at that. hehe ;)

our stop in a fastfood chain was even better. i just loved how you ate off of my plate even if i wasnt even finished with it yet. but of course i let you, coz... just coz..

i was even surprised when i wasnt pikon when you made snide remarks about me eating so slowly.. your words, as i remember it, were,

"Wohoo kunyari ang bagal mo kumain, pero siguro pag walang nakatingin mabilis..."

it didnt piss me off.. coz of the fact that even we just spent a couple of days together, you already know how turtle-ish i am when eating. that's also why you sit beside me during meals. with that i also know how fast you are in stealing food. you're so kadiri how you wait for my tira-tira. kadiri but still super cute.

yes, most of what i remember about you is food and every time we ate together. i love food and you love food too.. therefore...... haha. how i wish.

ive never told anybody this story like this before coz somehow im stupid and ashamed of liking someone like you. i dont want to be called that 3-letter word that people like you are supposed to have. (ok if u dont understand what this sentence means... then, good. i didnt really mean anyone to understand this whole entry too haha) i also dont want people to think that im crazy for thinking of you in this kind of light. coz even i myself know that the chances of us being anything more than whatever we were then is so thin that its close to impossible.

the chances of that happening is more likely not to happen now especially because where you are and what you are doing now, that could be the only way of us meeting again, is the very same place/path that i have been trying to avoid. dammit.

now that i think about it and also with that facebook app telling me what god is saying to me.. maybe.. just maybe.. you are the person that god's using for me to go to that path. he knows that i'll do anything just to leer away from it. and that he also knows that you were the only, but nonetheless strongest weakness i have ever had. argh.

should i do it? should i step out, give it a try and test the waters i have always feared? but, would you save me? would you still be with me? be beside me?

wth. i dont know what to do. but i wont resist if that path would personally come to me and present itself to me. but for now.... IMY.

this is why, this is why, this is why im fat!!

(that is my take on Mims' hit song This is Why Im Hot. thank you. thank you. no need for a standing ovation. lol.)

that yummy plate of goodness above is really one of the many reasons why im (slowly?) gaining back the lbs that i lost for graduation just last march. (panic attack! har har) you see, i think i love food way too much!! aside from the fact that ive always been a frustrated chef, i always make sure that eating time is not just any ordinary eating time.. every meal should be as close to gourmet as possible!!


a while ago i was yet again bored that's why i decided to take our ulam up a notch. btw my mom's cooking is already great (or even better than your mom's!!) but i just love playing with my food that i just cant resist to tweak it up a bit!


i call my masterpiece, the CHEEZY BURGER AVALANCHE!!! (patent pending haha)
it consists of:

• pesto rice,
• creamy aioli sauce,
  
• 2 sirloin burgers, and
• CHEESE!!!

isnt that just amazing? *sigh* i personally made the pesto rice (with a secret ingredient that im not sharing, of course!) and the creamy aioli sauce. have i already mentioned that i make the best aiolo sauce? well, yes, i make the best aioli sauce!! its so good that ive thought of bottling it to make a fortune out of it!! SERIOUSLY!!

these individually crazy delicious elements were piled on top of the other and cooked in an oven for only about 10-15 mins.

you may say, "Don have a microwave, eh?"

NU-UH!! anything that's oven baked is way better than something that comes out after a minute from a microwave, and i swear by that! tell me, what could be better than cheese melting all over pesto rice that's smothered with aioli UNTIL its a tad crunchy on the outside?? exactly... NONE!!


actually i originally named it the Leaning Burger Mountain (patent pending also hahaha) until the burger on top began sliding entirely on the side because of the melted cheese!! (ahh what is it with just thinking and hearing bout melted cheese that makes you instantly hungry all the time??) and fyi, this plate serves two.... or one hungry hippo!! but, is better shared with someone else so you wont be the only one who'll get your mouth burned by the hot cheese!!


well, there.. i'll surely share again my future creations with you next time. if this entry didnt make you hungry as hell, then give yourself a favor and check if you're already an anorexic!! hahaha!!





*************************************************************************************
SANS RIVAL.
that's what i had for dessert. just sharing!
il surely talk about that next time!
no wonder my cheeks all turned pink-ish..
maybe coz of a hundred zits trying to break free hahaha
i know, its a sacrifice =))

Yay or Nay?: Wellington Boots

so here comes the inevitable rainy season!! time to tuck away those mono-kinis and snuggle up to the cold weather! im also relieved that bad pedis exposed by flip flops would be gone for a good 5-6 months!! oh that's surely a YAY! :D


and now, jackets are taking the spotlight. (another yay!) but how could we forget the most important (and not to mention, CRITICAL!!!) piece of any fashionistas' WARdrobe??

SHOES!!!!

so for my first Yay or Nay? I bring you, the Wellington Boooooooooots!!




i have to tell you tho, im not the biggest fan of boots. coz being in a tropical country that's definitely not exempted from global warming, the weather could change from super hot hot hot to super rain rain rain!! come on, what's a fashion conscious girl to do?


but could you resist the cute print on these babies?? you can call them Wellies or Plueys and they are the next big thing that'll make you put your Crocs in the deepest, darkest part of your closets. (yes, mommi. im sorry but the Crocs era has just gone.)

the time has finally come when rainboots in the Pi doesnt mean striking-yellow, splatterring-mud-on-it'd-make-it-look-better type. lol.


but are these worthy of a recessionista's moolah? and could your heart actually bear even just the thought of having mud all over your P2,299 uber cute shoes??? you tell me..

as for me.... if im on my right mind, id say nay.. but if i wake up one morning and decide to have Redbull for breakfast, then it's an official, automatic yay! hahaha!

but hey, if ur a REAL fashionista who could pull off this look without looking like an MMDA officer, then by all means!! BUY IT!! LIKE NOW!! GO!!!!!

Of the REALLY Talented and Youtube "Sensations"

its just amazing how the world wide web can get you connected to and discover new talents. with the uprising of social networking sites (btw, i heart facebook haha) and video hosting sites (whatever they're called!) like Youtube, i was able to stumble upon these talentados c:


take a listen to this guy, David Garrett (cue: APPLAUSE)


dang it. how could a violin prodigy like him be a hottie all at the same time?? saw him first at Today Show's Kathie Lee and Hoda playing Viva La Vida. I mean how cool is that?


i dont usually find guys who have long hair (or ponytailed even) ......... attractive. im gravitated to clean cut guys (just saying!). but i really found this guy incredibly charming! well first, he looks like he takes a bath. and i must say that that's a big plus for an already very talented guy!

in the "Who Knew" segment of KLG and Hoda he also played Aint No Sunshine which was also one of the songs that Kris Allen, American Idol '09 winner (woohoo!), sang bee-yu-ti-fully!


well, if you're just as interested as i am with this guy you could check out his website by clicking here.



AND (drumroll plsss!) get ready for the next viral video courtesy of this girl.......


you may have seen her videos already when a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of your friend sent you the link to her infamous cover of Jai Ho.

ahhh there might be nothing better than a teenage girl feeling all Slumdog Millionaire ala Pusycat Doll in her own Youtube account.

BUT WAIT! There's MORE!! she's already covered songs like Miley Cyrus' The Climb and Katy Perry's Waking Up in Vegas!

like, AWWW. (awww as in when you see-a-cute-puppy-walk-by kind of AWWW) a talented and confident Paulinian singing her heart out for everyone to see.

or almost too confident, is she?

i swear i could've given everything i owned back when i was still in puberty to have guts like she has! or NOT. well of course back then (as if it was already a reeeally long time ago) Youtube hasnt been that powerful to make one such a superstar!

owkaaaay, no, im not picking on this girl.. but really.. do the 573 hits on only one of her vids mean that more than half a thousand people actually admire her?? (572 actually coz im definitely not one of them fans..) REALLY??

seriously though. how could a vulnerable, fragile teen like her tell if the comments she's been getting are true and not just a product of pure sarcasm??

for example, this user gennygyra18 commented,

"Hey. People linked this to me! I'm Paulinian too. You're awesome, Paulina. =)) Lol."

isnt it universally understood that when a statement (in chat world, that is) ends with an LOL, it means that a person is actually laughing out loud or thinking of something as a joke??



but hey, you be the judge.. it just makes me uncomfortable to think that whatever talent (or lack thereof) you may have, can already make you a world sensation. and for the record........................

I BLAME SUSAN BOYLE FOR THISSS!!!!

she gives me the creeps all the time. blech.

here's the link for that teenage girl's vid.

i personally lurve the Jai Ho one. LOL. ha!

i kissed a girl

so i was going to talk about conan o'brien taking over the tonight show until the tyra show came on. tyra always steals the limelight haha anyway.....

what's the fuss about girls kissing each other??

apparently there's a new term now.

--> BAR-SEXUAL. its when a straight girl goes to a bar kissing girls. say what???


first of, i came from an exclusive girls' school all my life. and from what i know, girls who kiss other girls are called lesbians. or bisexual. and now "straight" girls are doing that too?? that's just a total slap on real lesbians' faces if they find out after a kiss that they just kissed a poser. two-faced girls who do it for "fun" and "attention".

and boys find that attractive?? such douches.. i dunno if it's the same here in the Pi but i think it's DIS-GUS-TING!! to sluts/posers out there who actually do this, (i know, i really have to spell it out for ya!)

ITS SO NOT COOL. if you're pissed at posers, then you should be pissed about yourself! if katy perry's i kissed a girl is played at the bar,

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACT IT OUT! DUHHHHH!!

now hasnt this thing existed a long time ago?? its just now that its openly accepted to talk about it. i just think that talking about it draws more attention to it. same with sex. teens now are more curious about sex coz EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT IT!

sex this, sex that. ok i get it!! you dont have to talk sex ALL THE TIME. try not sensationalizing just about anything and teens would probably stop spinning around crazy over everything else.

consider yourself forewarned

if anyone would ever read this blog, i think there are certain things that you should know about me.. ok now, dont get all giddy.. i aint divulging everything (yet) so you'll keep reading.


first. im mean. and obviously, i know that already so you dont have to tell me that.


this blog would contain random babbles about whatever concerns me at the moment. i have strong opinions with just about anything. and i am already apologizing for future "damages".


next, expect to read some words, if not a whole entry, that is written in Filipino. this is a conscious effort on my part especially if i dont want our foreigner friends understanding whatever it is im saying. ha!


ok, i cant enumerate everything or foresee what il write about that'll anger any reader. (if any, haha)


off to the next entry.... :P

WHY chocolate ampalaya..??

CHOCOLATE. tsokolate in Filipino. sweet. recommended for the happy, excited or even for those whose hearts are/were broken. too much ingestion would cause abnormal rise of endorphins and/or obesity.

AMPALAYA. for those living under a rock, this is also called as bitter gourd. a vegetable who's apparently not cool enough to be included in the song Bahay Kubo. i think you get it already.

in a nutshell, if life would be turned into a food it'll be a freakishly flavored chocolate. just like the ones being sold at Honeydukes Sweetshop in Hogsmeade. imagine being forced to have a bite of a chocolate covered ampalaya. it IS almost inedible.

sweet and creamy...... then *@%#&>@%`!!!!

but as humans, instinct tells us that after that bitter, icky taste, we must take another bite to wash off that awful taste in order to experience again the dreamy sweetness of the chocolate.

too bad we can't spit it out and all we can do is swallow and endure it to get to that next bite. the cycle goes on. and that's life for us. for what it's worth, and as cliche as it is, life indeed is bittersweet.
