… amazing how people can get so inspired and creative at giving a new twist to any material they fancy. Tweak the most familiar stuff into anything unexpected, and they have something worth my while in giggles. Which is what humor is all about, anyway. I don’t know how much time is spent in making [...]

The term is ending and my body is being battered again. It was Friday and I concluded that I needed to reward myself.

I was out and about after my last class which ended at 6 PM. I went to the nearest decent place I could think of, SM Mall of Asia.

I was in time to catch the fireworks. Despite having seen the shebang a dozen of times, it still excites me to an extent.

While waiting for the show, I took some requisite mall pictures.


After the fireworks, I immediately felt the hunger inside my stomach. My last food intake was the brunch I had at 9:30 AM. Since I'm trying to save dough to pay off my iPod nano, I got supper at everyone's favorite joint, Jollibee.

It's amazing how they have the guts to label themselves as fast-food when my food probably would not arrive if I didn't do a follow-up. And get this, I made the follow-up 10 minutes after I placed my order. I know Jollibee serves volumes of people but they sure can improve their service.

Their 39-ers was surprisingly good, and by good I meant it was plentiful enough to fill me up. My stomach has been empty for around 9 hours or so and I would gladly take whatever I could get. Be it shit like the lumpiang shanghai I got or not.

Feeling full and bloated, I decided I needed to take a walk. I discovered that the Bowling Center is opening on the 1st of May. That's good news! I also passed by Topman which is a must. A few meters ahead, a bunch of people were abuzzing. Apparently, the launching of Paris Hilton's Heiress perfume was downstairs.

There were a handful of well-dressed guests. I am guessing they are trying to be part of the who's who of high society based on the number of photogs clicking at them. Great! Skanks attending a skank's launching. I kid.

I saw a bunch of people huddling beside Marionnaud, and naturally I decided to check it out. I did not realize I was beside Tim Yap before doing his thing in front of the camera.

How could I possibly not notice him with that fuchsia ensemble and heavy clown-like makeup?! He was actually taller than what I expected.

I was this close to asking him for a photo, but the inner Proud Philip in me prevailed. So I settled with the stolen photo above. I left the area chuckling because my friends and I had this Tim Yap joke which I suddenly remembered. I chuckled, and left the site.

I was craving for blueberry cheesecake, and since my usual dessert haunt Chocolat does not have that, I went to Conlin's instead. They've got a small and cozy interior. While waiting, I drooled over the chairs. I want them for our house.

And looked at the paintings that they were actually selling.

I eventually decided to be seated outside. And this was how I accidentally discovered the most secluded, quiet, and peaceful area inside the Mall of Asia.

It was beside the IMAX Theater and has a great view of the Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, plus the parking lot. This is where I peacefully enjoyed my delicious blueberry cheesecake.

Having satisfied my craving, I went for another stroll and ended up in Powerbooks. It has been a while since I have read a comic book so it was very refreshing for me. It was getting late so I decided to make my way home.

But a crazy idea hit me - I wanted to get some drinks. No, not because I saw Tim Yap, nor because I got to read a few pages of a Dilbert comic book. But because I wanted to take my mind off the disastrous quiz I took that noon. Because I suddenly missed our org's party, and well, because I missed drinking alcohol.

Off I went to Mojito Bay, where else. I love Mojito Bay!

They offer cheap drinks and even better, give 50% discounts on selected drinks. Woohoo! They actually give discounts from 8 PM to midnight, unlike a place I know near school, which offers cheaper beers at noon.

I asked the waiter which drinks were on discounts, and he mistakenly included some drinks which I remembered were not included the last time I went here. Nevertheless, I ordered a new drink - blue pineapple shuffle. It was actually greenish.

Over at the other table were a handful of Chinese men with a bunch of whores, complete with a female pimp! It was actually my first time seeing this scenario, and I was really really amused. I would've taken a picture if I was drunk. Fortunately, I wasn't. Minutes later, one of the guys handed some cash to the pimp, right in front of me. I thought how a lucky bastard I was for witnessing this.

Thus, I ordered another drink. As I was suspicious of a discount-related error, I asked the female waitress again which drinks were discounted. Yes, the shuffle was not included. Here I was trying to save as much moolah as I can by going to Jollibee, only to blow it all over a cocktail. But I was feeling happy, so I ordered a mojito.

I really love that drink.

On the street downstairs is this band performing in front of a group of seated people. Apparently, the Mall of Asia is now offering a buffet dinner with a live band performance. I do not know if I like that idea, since the band that night was playing sucky music. Heck, I caught a few couples doing some ballroom dancing on the streets! In front of dozens of people. I could just smile at their nonchalance.

Feeling tipsy (and happy), I decided it was time to head home for good. But the waiters put all their attention on the Chinese men and their bimbos that it took me years(i.e. 30 minutes) just to get their attention.

I got my bill, but it did not include the mojito I ordered. For a split-second there I actually considered to keep my mouth shut and just pay for the shuffle, but being the good guy I really am, despite feeling just a bit tipsy, I paid for the two drinks.

I headed home, just in time for Pinoy Big Brother. I slept, I woke up with a mild hangover. I felt shit. All week long I lacked sleep.

Sometimes I wonder why I continue to drink alcohol despite feeling really shitty the next day with a stomachache, headache, and muscle pain.

Because I'm weird like that.

Wala na ba talaga sila? Eh bakit magkasama pa sila? Bakit naman pumasok si Oyo Boy Sotto sa eksena, eh kasal pa rin si Diet at Kristine at may balita na magpapakasal sila ulit? Hindi naman daw sila nagsasama sa isang bahay, pero naglulutuan sila.

Ewan ko malolokah ako sa dalawang ito.

Pero magaling pa ring umarte si Kristine. Paborito ko pa rin siya at si Bea ALonzo.

Since vacation started, I felt FREE! There will be no assignments or projects to worry about for the meantime. I plan to make this a productive vacation — BY PLAYING FFXII NONSTOP! XDDD I’m serious. I had this FFXII withdrawal. Last term, I tried to play the game whenever I get free time. But my free time was always spent on band practices. It’s for the bands (my dad’s and K. Wasabi), I know. I just miss playing. Playing games is a good way for me to relieve stress from school. You can’t imagine how I almost spent many sleepless nights because of Plumbing workouts and assignments. I wished for all those to be over, so I could play. I emo-d because of FFXII. *rofl* Anyway, there isn’t much progress on my game. I’ve been hunting and leveling-up. Most of my characters are level 41. Once I reach level 42 or 43 (depends on when I start to get bored), I’ll start my travel to Archades. I’m already in Phon Coast. Almost near to Archades. But I’m transporting to other places just for the hunts. I get good items when I hunt. I won’t have to spend much money for items that way.

Gawd, the summer heat will kill me. If I can only transfer my pc out of my room, I would. Only that would be too much hassle. I’ve been staying home; afraid that the sun will scorch my skin. XD Phoebe and I met up last week. I think that was last week. We just had coffee in Starbucks Walter Mart, talked about our friends, love life, etc. etc. And we also smoked. Hooray for LUNG CANCER! XDDD J/k! I joined a forum (forum name won’t be disclosed here) and there was someone who posted about wanting people to smoke in a smoking area/room. That’s not a bad idea. Some bars/restaurants here in Makati have implemented that. But what I didn’t like about what he said after was that he wanted all the smokers to die in those smoking areas/rooms. I’m not going to say this in defense for the smokers or because I’m a smoker. Saying you want them to die is already a sin. That’s what I recall learning from my former catholic school. If they didn’t mean you any harm, you have NO RIGHT to say that. Even though you say that because smoking is harmful to their health, THAT IS THEIR CHOICE. They know that. They know the consequence. LET THEM BE. You can’t curse these people if you want them to respect you (want them to smoke in the right place, etc.). Respect them if you want respect back. People will probably tell me that every person has the right to say what they want. You forget, there’s a limit to the things you can say.

Our school’s enrollment was last week, but I didn’t go. I’m too lazy and I bet there aren’t subjects open for EnSE students. As usual, we would have to request for opening of these damn subjects. I only got to reserve a slot for OJT. I think there’s only 6 students (including me) who reserved. I heard that the OJT from batch 2003 is different. That could be the reason for the limited students. I’m so not looking forward to school.

Maru left this morning for his month-long vacation in the US and Canada (he’s visiting his GIRLFRIEND!). Although I’m glad he’s going to see his girlfriend after so many months, I’m going to miss our HYD2 & Code Geass nights. XD We were able to watch the former’s last episode last Tuesday. We didn’t wait for SARS’s subs because he wanted to watch it before he leaves. I did get the SARS’ version just for consistency. (I updated my trade & distro site, btw.)

Despite the recent blogging buzz, I bought myself my own pair of rubber clogs.

No, not Crocs. It is just too expensive. I got a cheap imitation from SM instead.


Everyone at school thought they were the real deal, but I told them it only costed me 160 bucks. I got a few weird remarks, which was fine by me. I myself was thought Crocs are ugly were when I first saw them. But maybe that's why I bought a similar pair myself, because they are ugly.

I'm weird like that.

Talk about convergence. Nokia has recently released the N95 in Europe and some parts of Asia (no news on when in the Philippine market but its only about a few weeks or so). Considering the time it took for it to be released, Nokia is apparently fueling the hype for when it finally will be released. The N95 is at least a few levels above the current models under the Nseries. Even just
