my 5 minute boracay pasalubong.

my cousin, raki, went to boracay last week with our other cousins. she got me one of those small bottles with sand in it and has this cute little design that says, 'boracay.' it was a cellphone "keychain" or whatever you call that. basta. so I put it on my phone, and then got up to leave, and then this happened:

boo! so she gave me a bracelet instead. 

here kitty, kitty.

Last month, we went to Sibonga, in the southern part of Cebu, to do an ocular on my grandparents' lot that they want to sell. On the way back, we saw this cat sitting on the road. I just had to take pics! It looked so "compact." And it has that suplado cat look. haha.

yum yum tree.

on tuesdays, my dad goes to carcar, where the family business is. my mom usually doesn't cook when my dad doesn't have dinner at home. we usually just order take outs. the power went out before i could buy take out (and went right back on after about 10 minutes, but the car was already out. hehe), so we decided to eat out.

we went to yum yum tree! it's one of my all-time favorite restos. they have good food, generous servings and low prices. plus, everytime i go, there will always be a bit of childhood nostalgia. my earliest memory of eating at yum yum tree was when i was about 5. the resto was at a different location then, along mango avenue, near my school. my cousin and i would usually go and eat there.

anyway, so today we ate at yum yum tree, and i pigged out. i had one lechon kawali meal, one spaghetti with meatsauce and one order of toasted bread. :D i am so running at the oval tomorrow!

anyway anyway, my mom was surprised at the bill. we ordered 2 lechon kawali meals, one pork nilaga meal, one spaghetti with meatsauce, and one toasted bread. and each meal had lots and lots of meat. total bill was only about P300+. yay!

yay! i got my movie and fudge today! yay! yay!

possible, but improbable, last post.

some american religious sect had predicted that the world is going to end at 6pm their time, or 2am on may 22 here. i don't really believe them, but a part of me is scared. i mean, what if it turns out to be true?

my condo-mate back when i was living in Makati lent me her book, 'Einstein's Dreams' by Alan Lightman. i haven't returned the book, and i'm not done with it yet. and she hasn't been looking for it. hehe. anyway, it had a chapter on the end of the world. an excerpt can be found on my old friendster blog here. in the book, the end of the world is depicted as a somewhat peaceful transition, unlike the prediction for may 21. there's supposed to be earthquakes and the world will crumble and people will rupture, etc etc etc.

on the off chance (in my opinion) that the prediction is correct, i'm unprepared. and if today was my last day, it wasn't well spent.

didn't feel too well today. that time of the month. had stomach cramps, which felt like bad hyperacidity, the entire day. but it was okay, nothing i couldn't handle. i was looking forward to pirates of the carribean and fudge. we had originally planned to watch the first screening so it's not crowded. then we moved it to after lunch, then to 2:30pm, then it became 5:30pm. at that point i was fed up and too annoyed. so i said, nevermind, i wasn't in the mood anymore.

maybe it's pms or, technically, ms, or whatever. i was so annoyed. and all he did was apologize. what good is that going to do to me? all i need is one apology to know that you're sorry. after that, it's all useless. you don't have to tell me over and over. what i'm looking for is action. what i'm looking for is for you to find a way to make up for it.

am i too shallow? am i too demanding? am i just looking for a fight?

this probably doesn't make sense. i'm scatterbrained today. and i got too excited.

so i'm at home. bored and anxious, itching to get out of here tonight. and most of the people who used to be just a text away are too far away. sandra is in qatar. shirley is in new zealand. vica and blair are in different parts of canada. my college barka-family is all the way in manila. kiko and raki are in boracay. anan is God knows where. taf is studying for his exam on monday.

the one person that i could depend on to keep me company has let me down.

Kopi Roti.

Twas a boring Friday. I had been in the house the entire day. I wanted to go out, but I wasn't sure where to go. So I dragged J to Kopi Roti. Why Kopi Roti? Because Vaneng and I had wanted to go to Kopi Roti last Sunday. We thought we'd go after mass, which was at 6, but when we got there the Columns branch was already closed. Boo!

This is me finally satisfying that craving...5 days after.

Oh, and...
