May 16, 2008

Last night, I sold out and finally bought that iPod touch that I’ve been eyeing for the past several months. I still have that perfectly good iPod that I’ve been carrying for the past year and a half, but when push came to shove, gadget lust won over rationale.
That said, I’m selling my old [...]

we came for the wings
May 8, 2008

After being the topic of endless conversations for the past two weeks, my friends and I finally made the trek last night to far away MOA and had dinner at Hooters.
The place was packed to the brim, but as we arrived at around 9pm, the wait time took shorter than what I had originally had [...]

foreign tocino
May 6, 2008

It has been almost two months since I came back home from Singapore, so I was surprised to still find half a kilo of bakkwa in my fridge last night.
Disclaimer: Not my picture
If memory serves me right, I brought home 7 kilos of this tocino-like treats from Lim Chee Guan and gave a way about [...]


May 1, 2008

I didn’t realize it was payday yesterday, and coupled with the fact that today is a holiday, traffic was a real bitch in Ortigas. Plus, it’s Ironman’s opening night, so a lot of people flocked out to catch that.
But Ironman, Schmironman. I went out and caught Ploning instead.

I’ve been meaning to catch this Judy [...]

Jollibee rhymes with SMB
April 18, 2008

Conceptually, it sounds gravy. At least, that’s what I thought. But trust me, Chicken Joy doesn’t go well with San Mig Light. Nor does Burger Steak, for that matter.
A huge part of this experiment wasn’t for pure purposes of justification, of whether or not my theory on SMB going well with Jollibee holds true. It [...]

valorous
April 7, 2008

Thank God for the brave. It it weren’t for them, we probably wouldn’t have this unwarranted ‘day of valor’ holiday right smack in the middle of summer. Ergo, a two day weekend for me (I’ve got work on Saturdays).
So it goes without saying that I’m not really complaining, with this holiday seemingly baseless and all.
It’s [...]


March 31, 2008

Yesterday was quite a day, if you ask me. Woke up late feeling slightly woozy (that damn mojito’s a traitor!), and after much deliberation with my shobe of where to lunch, descended on nearby Ineng’s.
Ineng’s still is considerably ok, with their trademark 7-inch barbecues. But I don’t know, it just doesn’t bring that [...]

salvation holdout central
March 28, 2008

Last night marks the first time in quite a long time that I took a drink for no reason at all. No reunions to go to, no night outs with friends, just me and my Syrah.
I didn’t know what got to me, but there’s this bottle that I opened last December, still about 1/3 full, [...]


January 24, 2008

Got back from HK yesterday, and I must say, it was quite a trip. Sales were abound, but apart from Jens Lekman’s Night Falls Over Kortedala CD and a handstrap for my camera, didn’t really purchase anything substantial.
I did feast on new albums by Destroyer and the Magnetic Fields on my iPod while I was [...]

wrong side of the fence
December 25, 2007

Last night marks the second time in as many nights that I went to Ateneo to hear mass.
It’s funny though, how several years removed from my graduation, I’ve actually been to Ateneo more times than my alma mater La Salle. I’ve been there enough to distinguish Xavier, Kostka, Bell and the Rizal library, among [...]
