sapid

i admit that i already tasted a couple of papers,
and my most favorite are the scented ones.
especially the wedding invitations.
they come in different thickness, scent and some has glitter in it.

you will really think that i went nuts,
and if we dated, you probably are nuts too.
but things like these are most likely to find out after a couple of our dates.
there goes some of my deepest dark secrets.
well, it's not really dark,
it's just plain gross for sure.

i mean, who wants to date a girl who've already tasted
acrylic paint, watercolor, oil paint, linseed oil, lighter fluid
and play-doh.
if you want to know what they taste like,
don't hesitate to ask me.

i have tried other stuff for sure,
maybe those are just not so tasty
and interesting for me to remember.
bland stuff are soooo forgettable.

here goes the edible
>aside from my sunny side up craze this week,
this one is not unusual.
i have a special liking for lemon juice with salt.
hey, this in not weird really.
vietnamese lemon juice serve their drink with salt.
it is really nice.
sweet, sour and salty.
you guys should try it.
this one i highly recommend.
live a little.
you can never go wrong,

it's EDIBLE, people!
SURPRISE. SURPRISE...

emONA

i was so stupid that i was feeling so sentimental
and just living the moment of a nice wednesday last night
after purchasing 2 packs of hairclay in sm makati.
2 packs because i was kinda panic buying.
i thought hairclay will be obsolete soon.
like a tape recorders that was replaced by cdrs.

anyhooch,
i took a long walk from sm makati to chino roces
even though it is drizzling.
blame it on my ipod jim and the songs of justin timberlake
that i ignored the possibility of yes,
having a fever whilst walking under the ambon.

and this morning, i was warm.
not because i was horny.
i was warm because i had sinat.
shouldn't have taken that long walk.
i knew it.
but sometimes, you just have to feel a certain moment
and live in it for a second right?
you just have to stop reality sometimes
and trascend your mind to time space warp...


but i do get to enjoy my morning even with splitting headache
and a bit of a high temperature.
got my perfect timpla ng kape,
my sunny side up with my bagong sinaing.
then i get to continue my THE Godfather hype.
still in the first movie but every time i watch it,
i have noticed that i cover my mouth once in a while
to refrain myself from screaming.
the scenes are intense.
i do not remember how many times i uttered "OH MY GOD"
while watching it.
the shocking scenes come in parts you least expect it.
oh well, i am not here to make a gist of the movie
and review the good and bad points about it.
maybe i am just feeling "EMONA" since last night.

oh, the word EMONA came from Niche.
he called me that when he saw me blogging.
i guess, i really am, EMONA at this point in time.hehe...

ona the cheater

so was planning to post this blog i made regarding my 50 wish list.
almost all of my friends have their wish lists too.
mine is only 50, theirs is up to 100.
in their wish lists, you can see that a couple of numbers
have been checked already.
they already visited countries they want to see
or food that they want to eat.
even people that they want to meet.
and because of that,
i had this idea that i should just be making 50 things
that is worthy of my 50 wish list(aka things that already happened).

the issue behind the silly idea is for me not to be too frustrated
if i failed to check most of the things i put on that list.
but my friends said, that would be cheating.
it is like taking an exam
and looking at the answers at the same time.
hmmm...one of them said that,
i should just make a list of the things
that made me happy.
and STILL make that wish list
WITHOUT--- CHEATING.
when she said that,
i told her that i am not the only one who is "cheating" here.
what about you? you plan to have a tattoo of right and left text
on the back of your palm so you will not be confused
where to turn when driving.
yes, she is directionally challenged.
it seems that right and left
do not register for too long in her memory.
a friend taught her to make L signs using her index and thumb
so she will know that the right L means left.
amazing idea that really works for her.
well, for now.


that gave me an idea that i will have a tattoo that says
dalawang tasang kanin because that is soo me.
i owned it now. soo mine.

so much happened during the weekend of fun and chismax.
it really is such a breeze catching things up with fantabulous friends.
yes, i borrowed the word from one of them.
very creative.

though i learned a a few lessons during the weekend-
to never smoke again because it makes me sick now,
drink 2 bottles of beer-maximum,
and never update friends if their exes already has new girlfriends.
i mean...never.

orgy--of food

is it blogging gone overboard?
it sucks everytime i have this hyperactive mind.
though lacking of sleep, been barfing
and still have this biatch of a migraine,
my senses cannot lay to rest. lay to rest?
hmmm...where did i borrowed that?
anyway, having a blog is really cool .
like a diary only less of a hassle
'cause i really have terrible handwriting.
but the main disadvantage is it's online.
so i cannot talk about my everyday life.
i find it unethical if i tell stories about me
and my officemates right?
there are things that are not free to spill.
but there are things that i have been dying
to share even to my friends but i sooo can't.
i have to leave the juicy parts.
maybe that's what's been lacking.
i leave the juicy parts,
making the whole menu---bland.hehe

darn, ill just talk.
aside from this great mey-lin resto
that i just discovered last month,
mongkok is nice as well.
i love the food.
reasonable price even.
too bad i'm not crazy about the ambiance.
the seats are uncomfortable.
you are just there to eat and leave---fast.

darn, i soo love trying out restos.

but i am certain that i am crazy about japanese,
chinese,thai and vietnamese food.
oh, i love this place in araneta center,
it's called Rasa.
i think they served Singaporean cuisine.
dude,i was that lost 'cause the food was terrific.
a bit pricey though.
i often oyster boy,filipino dish they serve
and i am such a big fan of oysters.
worth for your bucks.
C2 in shang ortigas is delish as well.
Filipino cuisine in savory presentations.try try.
oh, Kitchen. really worth for my pocket,
big plates and large serving of rice?
come on...
if only they have better service...

a venetto resto. italian italian...
the taste of food makes me want to hug the chef
every time i go there.
okay, i am exaggerating.
but the food really is nice.
large servings too!

oh, if i am to rate halo halo,
the number 1 would be from sentro 1771.
affordable, tastes like the lutong bahay ingredients.
the texture and the distinctive taste
of sinangag na pinipig.
the one in razon's is good too,
but it really is just saba con hielo.
and for just the bananas, way pricey too.

the fuzz about the coldrock ice cream
is this interesting style of choosing
the 2 flavors that you want,
and a variety of add ons that you wish.
then, a cute guy will blend it for you
and serve it in a cup.
i like the cookie add on so much.
but once is enough.
probably never coming back.
too expensive for me.
170 bucks? come on..
and forget the cute guy.
he's not worth it.haha!

oh, haagen dazz is delicioso.
almost worth the price. almost.

restos that i am not crazy about.
hmm... i have a few, believe me.
i am not going back to that place burgoo anymore.
they serve american food.too pricey, bland taste,
food was cold and just plain sad.
they have good service but they serve food
that are dull for your taste buds.

gaudi was better, i give the interior an 8.
but the food was waaay tooo expensive
and not really tasty for me
either the tomato sauce and liver was too strong,
the whole dish tasted like that.
or maybe i'm just not a big fan of spanish cuisine.


but in the end, it is the company
that i am crazy about.
if i am with the people i like,
i really don't mind if the food sucks.
okay, i am soo taking it back,
i do not mind if it is NOT always delectable.

good food and good conversation
for me is the perfect match.

not even good sex can top it off.

darn, i wish i was a food critic...

moron or oxymoron?



have i do not have control of myself anymore?
i keep on telling myself to stop eating chocolates.
i am not crazy about it anyway.
but every chance that i get, i eat it.
do i have this habit of negating myself?
it's just that most of the time that i am out,
people order chocolates as dessert.
everybody will have it but me.
i hate the feeling.

but i do hate it more every time this headache strikes.
it's getting worse.
i can't think straight. i'm dizzy.
it's like i spin for two minutes.
and i only have a couple of sick leaves to file.
this is bad.

bring in the burst

popcorn and pop music.
these are what my bestfriend and i realized tonight.
that we do have a lot in common but i totally dislike popcorn and pop music!
it's the POP!
she even said popcorgasmic while i dig in to my vietnamese chicken salad.
yes, i am addicted to this stuff.
and she wouldn't even dare taste it.
at least i get to finish six pieces of that waaay boring junkfood.
it is just that i do not see the point of masticating popcorn and even if i get to finish 3 bags, i will never be full.
my jaw will just grow tired
and i will probably just fall asleep without brushing my teeth.
bonus if i have UTI already when i wake up.

popcorgasmic?!



oooohhhh well....

indulging the senses

okay, i am supposed to be blogging about mother's day today. but it would be too "symbolic" and cliche if i do. but soon i will. me and my busy head as usual.
oh well, great things happened to me last friday and saturday night.

the first one is i finally purchased that godfather series!
what the hell was i doing that i delayed years before watching it? what a loser!
i mean, i haven't even finished the first film yet and i think i am sooo gonna be addicted in emulating the accent and gestures of don vito corleone!
bonasera...bonasera....
and the hand gestures!almost worth it not to attend the inuman session with the gang.hehe...kidding! i got late though.
can't take my eyes off with these italian mafia.

the drinking thing was fun. but i am not the usual embudo that i know.
just had 1 bottle of beer. i mean, wow! that's a record.
i'm not a big drinker anymore. i rather stay up till wee hours
enjoying long conversation and good food than to suffer gout problems the day after and forget what we talked bout last night.
but these guys are cool.
so i didn't had any problem.

saturday morning was even more surprising.
okay, i paused my godfather nostalgia for a while
'cause i do not want to be doing anything but watch it.
it is unproductive if i have to get things done.
i have this thing that it is between me and don vito, you know?
it is like we have an unspoken agreement.
that i should watch it with full attention.
i mean i cannot even have breakfast!

hmmm... the substitute.
i get to see studio 60 on dvd.
it is a tv series in the states.
it is about the lives of the people who works in television.
the set up is very saturday night live.
only it is in LA. the scripts are good,
very informative, the strategies are impressive, and the agendas are interesting. if you want to watch it? brace yourself, it is a fast world.
any yes, you will definitlely learn a lot.
and oh, i was finally able to have my coffee
and prepare my breakfast while the show was on.

to be honest, i got tired of munching brown rice.
i know it is healthy and it has its own flavor that complements other dishes but ... i just miss the good old ordinary rice okay?haaa..
so i didn't cook any... i decided to starve myself for a change.
nah, i'm just kidding..


i bought foccacia bread

and roast chicken.
and this i have discovered.
foccacia bread is perfect with roast chicken, mayo and a pinch of salt.
no kidding! put mustard if you wish.
if you have tried it with tuna, the chicken is waaay better!
darn, i ate too much i almost barfed!
my concentration was divided between the good script of studio 60
and the delectable sandwich!
you have to try it. PLEASE.

oh well, i indulged on text,
now i'm hungry for food!
my sunday night is not done yet.

i love it short

whoa, it's only 7.30 in the morning and my mind is already everywhere.
i guess i really am a morning person. dude, i haven't had coffee yet!
though this cheery or having an almost full functioning brain early in the morning
is not really appropriate for people who still have fried brains when they wake up.
arguments happen or i just don't get the exact response
that i want with the not morning people.(but of course, ona!)
anyway, since i had this oh so short haircut since saturday,
i feel so light! Lucy, my fab hairstylist enjoyed cutting and experimenting with my hair too.
i soo love her.

oh,i cut my hair short when i was 18 but i never liked it,
i blame it on the fashion sense then and the 90's hairdresser.

the benefits

this thing is really good for my budget.
a really small amount of shampoo will do to clean it
and i do not even have to use conditioner! isn't that amazing?
and the real benefit about it is ( okay, its not because lesbians can really come up to me 'cause i look like a dyke)
i can just scratch my scalp or pull my hair whenever i am frustrated and tired.
i can easily massage my head everytime migraine hits me.
and thank heavens to hairclay. i can easily fix my hair with my phalanges (oh, not the foot phalanges)

oddly, i acquired this new mannerism
of messing the left side of my head with my fingers.
yes, like most guys, i have a--swooshing now.
darn, i cannot even spell my new habit.
but i-have-it.
i do not know how to maintain it though.
it would be ridiculous if i spend 800 pesos
to maintain such a short hair.
maybe i'll go to that place called, Pagupitan ng mga Gwapo Barbershop.
for 40 bucks, i'm good.
oh well...
this is my friday morning.

sinful

if i am to reflect on my sins,
it is a given fact that gluttony will be on my number one list.
well, i do wish lust would be the first but since...ahummm..
though most of the time, i do blur food and sex.
i have a strong opinion that these two things are the same.

you get excited, your heart beats faster,
you moan everytime you get to savor that luscious food in your mouth,
and you are left breathless and tired after finishing that perfect meal.
still, you will disagree?

anyhooch,if you still do not agree with me.
i can do say i am one of the people who lust after food.
yes, the gravity is heavy.

the last one that i have been lusting about was tilapia.
this craving started since last week.
i got so sad when i went to shopwise to find no tilapia at all.
but tonight i got lucky!
i get to choose that fat tilapia that i have been craving about.
yes, i am darn hungry after office
because i wasn't able to eat merienda.
but this hunger deserves that fat fried tilapia.
so i waited for it to be cooked.

to tell you honestly.
i am a good cook.
i come from a family who earns a living by cooking
and selling good food.
we love to eat and we know good food. trust me.
and if you are a member of our family
and you don't know how to cook--shame on you.

but cooking fish is easy.
i want this tilapia to be fried.
but wait, i can cook,
but i always fail to cook fish properly.
these fishes are probably dead right before
they came to shopwise early in the morning.
but after frying these poor fishes,
it looks like the fishes have been double dead for a long time.
was murdered and grinded even.
get that picture?
that's what it looks like in my frying pan!
idiot me for not texting my mother on how to cook tilapia properly.

it was too late when she told me that i have to

rud salt in my dry pan before putting oil in it so the

fishes won't stick.
darn too late.

but still, after that, i get to eat the tilapia of my life!
still delicious.
it doesn't look edible though.

but hey, i am hungry!
and i have observed that i have this "thing" that
either i mix sugar, garlic, salt, pepper soy sauce
and vinegar as my sawsawan or i put mayo
and toyo in my food. it is sooo true.
most people are grossed out by it.
but then again, i am yucky anyway. what's new?
after a hearty meal literally due to the cholesterol from my mayonnaise,
i get to indulge on mudpie banana ice cream!


fudge!
this sinful dessert is definitely worth my headache!
i do not care if i get that splitting bitch of pain
in my head tomorrow or this monday.
it was worth it.
yes, this is gluttony.
yes, i am trying to bring back the five pounds that i lose.

this is definitely the start of it.

yes, this is worth my friday night.

Wednesday, May 2, 2007

my..uhmmm..wits

darn, i am sooo bored..
my body clock still hasn't changed yet.
it is 10 pm and i just woke up!
and i just finished the first season of Ugly Betty this morning!
and the second season is not available yet!
this is madness!
whew!
anyway, being in the day shift is a blessing,
i can work out my relationships with my friends now.
after 7 months of being in the dark,
going home around 6.30 pm a while ago was a happy surreal to me.

but i still have a problem though.
it hasn't occured to me that this will hamper my sleeping habits.
it has been a month now that i have this hormonal twins!
if you are grossed out.stop reading now.
but for those of the women who understands my dilemma,
i feel like i'll be facing osteoporosis if they do not stop growing!

they are heavy and it hurts and i cannot sleep on
my belly anymore without bending a leg to be able
to form a space for my twins.
have i had too much salt?
am i getting fat?
women's bodies are odd.
talking about hormonal imbalance here...

i feel like a Centrum ad as well,
" my breasts from A to B".
if they do not stop swelling, i might have to rob
the deparment store to change my bra size.

this is so not fun at all.

a hint of what?



if you do not have anything to eat at home, you'll

definitely be able to finish this pack.
i mean, it is not pretentious. kimchi is spicy.
so all you'll get is spicy noodles.
i do think that korean food is not pretentious

either.
if you want pork, they'll give you pork and it'll

taste like pork.
no other descriptions like it's a bit minty with a

hint of coriander on the side and a drop of honey

in it and a rind of lemon.NO.
it's very simple.you get what you want. and that's

just it.
so i'm not really a big fan of korean cuisine.
but i did, finish the whole bowl of the instant

noodles.
hurray to another contribution for my UTI in the

future!

and i do have my granola bar as dessert.


FUN! isn't it?

got to get back to ironing clothes.
this is Labor Day.

by the way, the pack that i just ate was a product

of Thailand. what's the difference anyway.
as i have said, kimchi IS kimchi.
