Oh, could anyone help me? What does P.S. stand for?

It's a hot and lazy afternoon... so what else is new...?

*******

One, I have a newly revived social life...

Thank you Pam, you're a blessing.

Tuesday night marked the rebirth of my social life... after finishing a project (which was keeping me grounded) I went to meet up with Pam at Grappa's in Greenbelt where I ordered some Grapefruit juice which tasted a bit wierd... I still can't put my finger on it up to now... but I actually kept on sipping it. Don't ask my why, I won't be able to answer.

A nearby bar/restaurant had a band playing these really cool tunes... and the really interesting thing is that they seemed to be doing a historical lecture on music from the different eras. Really cool.

After wrapping up there (and wrapping up Pam's unfinished tomato-with-basil-and-olive-oil-on-bread, forgive me for not asking what it was called) we headed on to Filling Station (dead center of Makati's red light district) and got acquainted with all the cool memorabilia hanging on the walls. I personally wanted to steal this clock radio and this really old telephone. You know the kind that has the mouthpiece attached to the body and earphone's cone-shaped and weighs more than your whole phone? That's the one. Too bad though, I didn't have anywhere to put it... and it must've weighed a ton or something, and that doesn't even include the radio.

It was the first time I'd been in close contact with so many expats... and hookers... at the same time. Since the place was in Makati's red light district, you would expect to bump into some of them... but seeing and being there is very different from expecting. No, it was not a bad experience. It was actually really interesting. And I liked the strawberry milkshake that Pam was having, and my iced tea smoothie (yes, yes, it sounds unusual but you have to try it... I think it has vanilla or something.)

.... um, I'll have to finish this post later... my kidnappers are here. That's Heng and Eunice. They're taking me to Megamall, and I don't know why. Must be a kidnapper thing...

Aight!

I just saw the dance number for my grandparents' golden today...

My sisters' good.

And I like the music too.

*******

I found your post really funny.

*******

Alright! Back to work!

What the heck is wrong with me!?! I broke two glasses in barely an hour!

One slipped as I was drinking, and the other broke in my hands while I was washing it...

I need to get out more. It's vital to my mental well being.

Or maybe I can substitute Vanilla Coke. Hehehe.

*******

Today Heng and Eunice are on their 10th month together.

Congratulations and godspeed! May the two of you have more prosperity in the coming future!

O diba?

Parang bumabati sa FM radio...

*******

I really need to get out more.

To keep fit:

Consume a package of chips and microwaveable popcorn at 1:30 am

Drink two glasses of Vanilla Coke at 3 am

Sleep at 10 am

Eat champorado at 3 pm

Eat spam and rice at 4 pm

Drink glass of Vanilla Coke at 5 pm

Do all drinking and eating while glued to PC.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my life.

*******

This morning was one of the more unusual experiences of my life... and I did enjoy (Hoy! Iba iniisip nyo, wholesome ako!)

It feels great to be transparent.

And I owe this feelgood instance to you.

Thank you.

*******

Don't you hate it when you FORGET TO SAVE!?!

I do. And I hated myself this morning.

After working on, say almost 3 pages of material, my PC suddenly gets this urge to challenge my authority over it. And as I hear that ugly clicking noise coming from my CPU I realize that althroughout those 3 pages I DID NOT save anything even once.

My PC has once again humbled me. It has reminded me that I cannot function properly without it. Without it, I would not be able to do what I am doing right now. It has reminded me to appreciate it even more and not take it for granted.

Moreover, it has reminded me of the value of saving your data regularly.

So to my PC, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!

This is what happens to you when you hole up in your house (and bombard yourself with radiation for almost the whole time) for two days.

Yup, my social life is very active.
