Sashimi vs. KFC

Today, i lambing'd my mom to buy me some salmon sashimi for lunch. And they brought me KFC. Why, Mom? Whaay???

Today i am on a challenge. I vowed not to have desserts for a week. Let's see how my body will respond. I can't be Kate Moss-skinny overnight but what the heck? i wish to be healthy, that's all.

Two In A Row

Today, 2 people confeeermed that i am darn fat. This is not happening.

So i hurried home, called my mom who's currently in Cebu and asked her what this steroid was doing to me. I asked her if it was my daily puffs for my asthma that was causing my face to bloat like a blowfish. She said it shouldn't cause any of the bloating. She says the prescribed steroid tablets are the ones that should. I asked her, "then why do my friends say i'm fat?" She said, "eh kasi naman, ang lakas-lakas mo naman kasi kumain!" So I replied, smart-alecky, that maybe then, my daily puffs are giving me the dangerously good appetite.

Because of this, i skipped midweek service so i could jog tonight. Sorry Lord, i love you. But i'm fat, what should i do?

My Dad's New Love

Since i had no plans this morning, i decided to walk a few 20 steps outside our house and do some nature tripping in our backyard. I got my camera and explored our mini zoo-house.

This is my dad's newfound love: roosters.

Our driver said only dinosaurs are missing in our zoo-house now.

This here is "Ampa". He's named after Ampatuan because he's the most evil of them all.

But my Dad decided to change the name because we might be misunderstood by naming him after an evil Ampatuan.

Whenever i see "Ampa", I remember my Kokeshi doll i got from Kyoto a few years back.

But this one here is my fave. I love white roosters. Just as i love white roses.



I asked my dad what this brown guy's name was. He said "Keifer" (how very not-Filipino).





And this very proud guy here is "Superfly".

My Favorite Things, I Jinx

I remember when i was 8 years old, my kuya and i would take turns in reading Archie comic books during toilet breaks (call of nature, they'd say). But when i think about Archie comics now, i barely remember any of its stories and characters that made me laugh to world's end, except for one. And her name was Li'l Jinx. I don't know what has ever gotten into me that at 8, my sense of humor was defined by that cute devil.

Until i grew up and became the Li'l Big Jinx.

I jinx not the unimportant things around, but mostly the my-precious ones. I jinxed my brother's ipod (back when ipods were the biggest thing), i jinxed my brother's Powerbook (when he was uploading/rendering a very important file), I jinx so many important things. It's my dna, i believe.

Remember my gorgeous, my-precious LeKnockoff bag that i've been bragging about?

Here it is now. Can you see the spring-like protrusion at the corner of my bag? What the heck is it? How shall i fix this?

And my favorite, most precious knockoff of them all is my Yoko Ono watch. As you can see, what makes it a knockoff is its mold. It's supposed to be a Paul Frank $100+ watch but instead of Paul Frank monkey graphic, you'd see a Yoko Ono sketch inside my watch. And at the back, instead of reading "Stainless Steel Paul Frank Watch" you'll read "Stainless Steel Fall Plankg Watch."

When i broke the strap of my Yoko Ono watch, i was so devastated. I got it from Thailand and now i have to go back there to get my new one. I don't know where else to find it. Arrrrgghhh!!

On Julie and Julia


I just finished watching Julie and Julia. For many reasons it touched my heart. For one, it made me think that maybe i really should engage myself into doing something different nowadays. And for weeks i have been contemplating on trying out some recipes. Like tomato-cream soup. Or adobo. Or even try poaching eggs. I don't know, i think I should start doing it.

Also, i kind of wanted to start blogging about something. Not anymore about my emotional self, but about something that's worth contributing to a not-so-perfect world. I'm giving it time.

I hate it when movies make you realize things. When you're down, any movie will make you think you are realizing things (any stupid, insipid thing will make you whine about your freaking life!). But in truth, you're not. You find out you're just babbling words in your head. Words that don't mean anything. Words that will do your life no good at all. Words like mine right now.
