State of Emergency or so they say

When i heard about the proclamation of a state of emergency last friday afternoon i thought to myself: "there goes my friday night of booze and fun!" hehehe! I gave in to the idea of spending my friday night at home...well, probably go to the gym first til about 9pm and spend the rest of the boring evening watching tv. Good thing albert invited me to have dinner at amici. Hmmm...just the thought of pasta and pizza makes my mouth water. hehehe!

Before going to amici we made a not so quick stop at MCS for some pirated dvds. I had no plans of buying pirated dvds...but when i saw all those dvds...my gosh! I just couldn't stop myself. It felt like i was hypnotized! After a few minutes of scouring through the never ending pile of dvds...i finally surrendered and bought my FIRST pirated dvd!! =( i know! i know! i'm bad! To think i used to conduct trainings about anti-piracy and stuff! Geeeezzzz!!! and how i used to tell my friends not to buy pirated! I'm only human! Who can't resist those cheap dvds? huh? Oh well, so i submitted to temptation of buying pirated dvds...enough said!

Anyway, i bought the following: If only, Fever Pitch, Spanglish and A lot like love. If i'll burn in hell for this might as well watch all the dvds i can get my hands on. Btw, after watching my first ever pirated dvd i then made a list of dvds i want to buy on my next trip to dvd land.

Ooops! i almost forgot to mention that my bronze- tiangge- bought- cute- sandals got stuck on the last step of the escalator! talk about embarrassing myself infront of those people. While Pres. Arroyo proclaimed a state of emergency...i was having my own state of emergency right at the heart of pirated dvd haven. I didn't know my cute bronze sandal can stop the escalator from moving! hahaha! The lady behind me was so terrified she sorta jumped off trying to avoid the now weird looking sandal...i wanted to laugh but looking at my now damaged sandals i wanted to cry! Waaaah!!! My fave bronze sandals looked great with just about anything from jeans to slacks to skirts...huhuhu! It will be difficult to find a perfect pair of sandals again! Going back to my story, Albert tried to pull my sandals off but to no avail. But i couldn't just go walking with just one sandal alright? So i took a couple of deep breaths and gave it one strong tug...tada! got my sandal back! hooray!!! Anyway, after that i continued walking as if nothing happened...while deep inside i was about to die of humiliation! hahaha! Said goodbye to my cute bronze sandals that night...that was my cue to buy a new one! **Big grin**

After having said that...got me thinking what pushed me to buy those pirated dvds...it was my sandals!!! i was mourning for my-tiangge-bought-cute-bronze-sandals and i poured it all out on those dvds! hahaha! still a lame excuse don't you think? Atleast i gave it a try!

Craving for Gelato

Had my first taste of amici de don bosco's gelato last friday night. I bought 1Kg of Vanilla with Nuts Gelato for only 350 cool pesos! Every creamy spoonful was worth it! Not to mention the generous amount of whole pistachio nuts and almond flakes mixed into creamy vanilla gelato. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My perfect gelato with just the right amount of sweetness! Looking forward to my next scoop of gelato!

FYI: Amici De Don Bosco is a small cafeteria run by an italian priest located at the corner of pasay road and pasong tamo in makati.

Why i blog?

Reason # 1 : Kill Time
Blogging is one way to get rid of boredom. Yah right! This is actually my 4th and hopefully my last blog account. 1st account - for some weird reason i forgot my username and password so i decided to just give it up. 2nd blog - my private blog where i write about my innermost feelings. Bitch about certain events and people. hehehe! Sorry not for public viewing. 3rd blog - my friendster blog account. My pathetic attempt at blogging. Surprised me that some people i dont even know are actually reading my posts. Oh well, it's a good way to practice my blogging skills if i have any. Anyway, this new blog i hope will be my last! I'll try to transfer my fave posts from my other blogs here.

Reason # 2 - Chronicle events
I used to own a journal...where i scribble away my thoughts and feelings. I thought it's a nice way to chronicle my so called life. I love reading it during my alone times...it gets people and events in perspective. Allows me to reminsce about the good old days and see where it got me.

Reason # 3 - Get Creative
Hopefully this blog will allow me to be more creative. If only i have enough time to waste on creating a look for this blog.

Reason # 4 - Talk about things i love
Finally, a space for me to talk about some of the things i love and love to hate hehehe. From places i've been to, books, movies, food, shopping, and other simple joys in life.

Reason # 5 - For us to get to know each other
I'd love to hear what you have to say. So, comments are most welcome here.

Anyway, whatever reasons i have...what really counts is that i love what i'm doing.
So let me just blog away!
