food log

Im currently chomping on two of my most favorite food in the world - wonderboy and bellekoy! My mom sent them over the weekend. For the life of me, I never understand why I couldn't seem to find any wonderboy and bellekoy in the Metro. (For those who must ask, wonderboy is rice cracker and bellekoy is a soft candy made up of
sugar, vanilla and flour).

There, I'm done with the first pack of wonderboy. I'm halfway through my bellekoy. As I go towards the fridge for my second wonderboy pack, I find myself, prancing and about, excited to chomp on this superb rice cracker once more.

Pause. Cant type. Right hand with bellekoy. Left hand holding wonderboy.
Talk to you later.

Feelin' Good!

I've been overwhelmed with a lot of good things lately. Simple things, yes. But good. And mind you, this time, I'm not complaining.

You were with me when I had this sudden, albeit slight stomach ache and you managed to over-ride all traffic rules we knew just to get me where I wanted to be. We weren't even halfway there yet and the pain went as sudden as it came. So you pulled over. And you asked, "Are you really okay now?"And I said, "Yep, I'm okay..we can go back to the Civil Service Office again.."And so you did a U-turn, relief crossing your face. Sorry. As you may have guessed already, it was a woman's pain. But hey, you were really cute when you panicked there.

And then Meng, my youngest sister, woke me up the other day. I was awake even before she called my name. But boy, she was so cautious about alarming/disturbing/startling me that she took these little teeny-weeny steps approaching my bed. I specifically asked her earlier to wake me because I was expecting some important papers from a courier and I had to sign for it. So basically, she needed not worry about my usual "just-woke-up-temper" anymore. But hey, she still didn't take a chance. She knows exactly how my day gets ruined when I wake up from the wrong side of the bed. (And did I also hear her say sorry for having had to wake me?) Nice. Real nice.

And then there was this old lady that I sat next to in the bus on my way home. I don't know if it's just me, but I find a sincere smile real comforting, and yes, even if that does come from a total, complete stranger. The lady looked out of place from the usually crowded bus because she looked so regal carrying her bouquet of white tulips. She started talking to me and I did find out that she was on her way to church when her car broke down, and had to leave her driver with it. And hello, did I mention too that it was raining cats and dogs during that time? I mean, an old lady decides to commute and leave the comforts of her own vehicle just to go to church? I mean, nice man. So nice.

And of course, before going home from the office this morning, Rico, my teammate in VOODOO decided to treat Mayu , Shelly and I to breakfast. No reason, he just wanted to. Ain't that nice, dude?

And then I got a call from my tita and mama this morning and basically they wanted to know what I wanted back home co'z they were sending a package from the province. I mean, here I am, all independent and shit like that in the Metro but I get a breakfast call from my folks and my mom's sister asking me what I wanted co'z they were sending some. Talk about being lucky me, huh?

Well, anyway, before I start running out of goodness and luck, I'd stop posting for a bit and enjoy the good vibes surrounding me. As I'm wrapping up on this log, imagine me sitting laid back, with my feet perched on the table, with the keyboard on my lap, licking my Milo-encrusted spoon while smelling the sweet, rainy morning breeze around me.

Awww. Life rocks!

while waiting for daylight...

I've always wondered why most people consider invoking one's right as rude. I mean, can't I ask my noisy neighbors sometimes to just keep the noise to the confines of their home?

*----------------------*

During the last coupla' of days, I found myself always complaining and pulling my hair outta' my wits at the mildest provocation. Hmm, could it be that time of the month already? Again!? Shit.

*----------*

I had the grandest time hopping from one blog to another tonight . Mr. Jake Versoza, a friend from highschool, provided a lot of interesting links on his site. I felt like a peeping pandora reading all those blogs..sheesh. Kinda' makes me wonder how people feel when they read my logs here.

*----------------------*

So anyway, I was inside my room yesterday, trying to finish off the last few chapters of my 5th book of the Wheel of Time series when I suddenly turned ON the radio that's been sitting at the foot of my bed for god-knows-how long. Station-hopped for a while. But I didn't recognize most of the songs. Does this mean I am finally getting old? Hah!

*---------*

And then, for almost everyday now, I always find myself awake at a time when I should be in my deepest slumber. That's every 2 PM (and equivalent to your usual midnight, thank you very much). I couldn't understand why though. I make sure I am comfortable before I sleep and that absolutely no one in the world has means of disturbing me. On top of that, I know my body is craving for sleep..I am so tired these days.. I almost feel like a zombie during my waking hours. But time and again, in the middle of my slumber, I would find myself awake. Why god why...?

*------------------------------*

I haven't been writing for maybe a week. There's not much to tell, that's why. But see, I couldn't let a week pass without trying to remember what I have been, what I have done, and what I have become as a human being.

*--------------------*

Duh! Yeah right. Talk about a flimsy excuse. Just wanted to pass the time while I wait for daylight. See, it is almost my day-off and I'm about to get off from work. I've been waiting for this all week long. But now I'm too lazy to even get up from my chair and start going home.

Hay.

rants and raves

I love to complain. Sometimes.

The PC at home has Spyware and I had to hear about installing an anti-Spyware program as soon as I woke. I mean, talk about anything else, coz you know, that's what I do in the office, and hey, I just woke up!

As soon as I got to the dining table, the phone rang and I had to answer it...Mundane callers..
Got back to the table..about to get hold of a spoon and a fork...and the phone rings for the 2nd time..so I answered the same mundane caller and went back to the table again..and as I was sitting down--guess what, yep, the phone rang. Same caller. Damn.

My food was bland. I asked my new maid to add some salt and tomato and onions, which she did. But it was still bland.

And then my neighbor just suddenly played his drumset and the entire neighborhood was bathed in the thub-thumping rhythm of his thoughtlessness and insanity.

I was not awake for 15 mins yet..and here I am, dreading the rest of my day already.

I took a bath and 2 mins before I was to go out, it rained.
I mean, talk about rotten luck, huh?

Nah, don't mind me. Just some rants and raves -- basically, complaints.
I love doing this.
Sometimes.
