pet viruses

i continued reading stephen king's book of short stories today. and one of the more interesting (and really creepy) stories there was about a "road virus" hahaha. scary story.. in a way that only stephen king could pull off.

anyway. it's my firm belief that viruses are an integral part of life. what i mean is.. if in the future some smart guy figures out a way to wipe out *all* kinds of viruses, then life would cease to be. hahaha. is that weird thinking or what?

in my case, i have this pet virus - my favorite of 'em all. and i don't really know how life would be without it. i know it's a parasite.. and it's not doing me any good at all. still, i've gotten so used to it that i think i'd suffer a major case of withdrawal if i flush it totally from my system.

addicted to a virus. that kinda sucks, doesn't it?!

nevertheless, pet viruses are pretty. just see what the toon has to say, nyahahahaha

sick and tired

i'm so sick and tired of watching the news on tv. it's the oakwood mutiny all over again. and just as senseless.

i do not hate trillanes and his supporters. i even sort of understand their grievances. i'm not exactly a gma fan. i think that her so-called economic reforms are not enough to make up for the rampant graft and corruption in the government.

however.. it is my firm belief that the end does not justify the means. there is *always* a proper venue for venting one's grievances. especially if one happens to be a senator. dammit, he is already part of the government leadership! how could he be a credible leader if he himself feels he is above the law?!

"ginagawa lamang namin ito para sa bayan" is a statement that's so overused and severely abused. and in my opinion, anyone who says this is immediately suspect. call me cynical.. but i just feel that it's so easy to say such things. madaling humingi ng simpatiya sa mga tao. madaling magpaawa. madaling magdrama. pero ang kailangan natin ngayon ay mga taong kumikilos hindi para lamang dumakdak at magreklamo, kundi mag-isip ng mga konstruktibong paraan para umunlad ang bayan.

what makes me sick is it seems everyone - the 'mutineers', the media, etc - is being all emotional and whiny. WHINY!!!! trillanes et al say they want change.. but they cannot even specify exactly WHAT kind of change they want. they want gma to step down. fine. then what? who takes over? would THEY be better at governing this country? personally, i would not trust them to lead the people. all i ever hear from them is "dapat mag-resign na si gloria" - no concrete plans for governance. no constructive steps to nation-building.

and then there's the media. tama ba naman 'yun.. sinabihan na sila na lumabas sa hotel dahil nakakasagabal sila sa police operations. hindi sila sumunod. FINE. tapos nang sa wakas, nakalabas na sila at hinuli, angal sila nang angal. ok.. i get it. they were just doing their jobs. but think about it. the police were also just doing their jobs. they have been duly warned. they were getting in the way. kung sakali bang pumasok ang mga special operatives doon at nahuli sila sa crossfire, hindi ba sila ngangawa? hindi ba nila sisisihin din ang pamahalaan sa "excessive use of force"?! what do they expect the government to do? just stand there doing nothing?! sheesh.

now that the government and the police are taking measures to protect the security of the country, they're yapping once more. hindi raw tamang magkaroon ng curfew. malala pa raw sa martial law. ha. kung kayo ba ang presidente, tatahimik na lang kayo matapos ng nangyari? ngingiti na lang ba kayo at sasabihing, "okey lang.. lumabas naman kayo at wala namang nasaktan.. peace na tayo ulet"?! (pakshet.. hindi nga kayo sumuko e. aminin niyo na. lumabas kayo sa hotel dahil nakita niyong wala sa inyo ang suporta ng taong-bayan. huwag niyo nang gamitin ang mga kasama niyong sibilyan para mag-save face kayo!)

the problem is that nobody wants to actually stand up for what they believe in. angal kayo nang angal.. palibhasa hindi nangyari ang gusto ninyong mangyari. and to me, that's just being a sore loser.

scary in pink

as i mentioned in previous posts, black is my favorite (non)color.. so i almost always wear black. friend diane (from school) always ribs me whenever i'm wearing a different color. she says there's something wrong with me, hahaha (i'd have to agree).

so i tried a different tactic. last week, i went on a "blue" spree. i dunno. i guess for a time, i felt kinda blue.. so i wore blue tops the entire week. i used my blue bag and brought along my blue notebook. black and blue. ha. nice one.

it was only after i browsed through some of the weird graphix at zedge that i realized it's been such a long time since i've worn pink. so today, i decided i'd wear pink again.

i just smiled and went in. once in there, i got lots of second (and third) looks from choirmates who kept telling me there was something "different" about me today. and whaddayaknow. i've been getting compliments from people the whole day. i went to megamall for our prayer meeting.. and i haven't even stepped inside the venue when 2 sisters in the community said, "uy, ganda mo ngayon ah." blooming daw ako. a couple of friends of mine even dared to inquire, "may boyfriend ka na siguro ano?" bwahahahahaha. that certainly made me laugh. especially since the ones who gave the comment were elders of our community. sheesh.

i don't know what the heck it is about the color pink that causes these weird things to happen to me. i don't know if that color makes me seem cute/attractive/beautiful. i don't know if my wearing pink makes people give me a second look.

maybe it's the color. maybe it's not. i don't know. and i don't really care all that much (apathy seems to be contagious. so are sarcasm and cynicism. ha. thanx lisbet :p)

all i know is.. in the midst of all the compliments and affirmations that i look "really pretty".. i don't feel all that affirmed, deep inside.

in fact, i don't feel anything at all.

except for a hint of "psycho" hahaha.

see the picture? *that* is exactly what i mean..

due for a reboot

this day had too much going on in it.

not that i'm complaining. in fact, the day's events weren't bad at all. just.. well.. just too darned much.

i was kept busy most of the day observing my student teacher in math10 and geometry, writing down observations, etc. i also helped the KA dudes with basic clerical stuff - collating pages for the upis week letter and stapling them together. i thoroughly enjoyed myself (what can i say.. i just *love* doing things that do not require thinking hahaha), i almost forgot to eat my lunch.

at about 1.30pm, friend carol dropped by (tsk tsk.. late, late, late!) for our long overdue lunch date. we weren't able to leave immediately, though.. as we were delayed by the arrival of a troop of aliens. sheesh. my alien attractor still is working overtime nyahahaha.

anyway, carol and i went to sweet inspirations in katipunan. it's fun to hang out with her after such a long time (once again, sorry for blowing you off the last time, dude). ironically, being with her reminds me of my innocent/naive side, as well as my cynical side. nyahahaha. go figure.

we headed back to upis before 5pm (i had to attend the grade10 extended board mtg).. and once more, we ran into my favorite bunch of aliens. ahhh.. but i came prepared. i fed them some yummy donuts. unfortunately, they were craving for popcorn.. so they were still every bit as wild and wacky as ever *sigh* oh well. guess i wasn't really surprised hahaha.

the pta mtg started at around 5.30pm.. so i bid my alien groupies (with carol) sayonara.

er.. i don't want to write about the bloody meeting here, hahahaha. i'll just say that it was.. uhm.. interesting :p the meeting was adjourned at about 7.45pm. and darnit.. i have to write the minutes coz only 6 of us were in attendance.

all in all, it's been a fun day. tiring but fun. it makes it almost worth it to miss choir practice tonight.

almost. but not quite :p

i think i need more than a reboot. i need to get reformatted.

when there's nothing to do...

You Are Right Brained In Love

Bit of a drama queen Peacemaker, first to end a fight Good at thinking up creative dates Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily Going with your gut instead of your head Empathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault Good at recognizing patterns in relationships Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart

Are You a Right Brained or Left Brained Woman in Love?

Your Inner Blood Type is Type A

You seem cool and collected, though a bit shy. You are highly driven and a perfectionist, but that's a side you keep to yourself. Creative and artistic, you are a very unique person who doesn't quite fit in. People accept you more than you realize, seeing you as trustworthy and loyal. You are most compatible with: A and AB Famous Type A's: Britney Spears and Hilter

What's Your Inner Blood Type?

control freak

control freak: someone with a compulsive desire to exert control over situations and people

hahaha. i guess i am a control freak. i hate it when things happen that i don't have absolute control over. i always want to be sure of the outcome of events.. or at least have a backup plan (or a backup to the backup.. or something like that). if that's not the case, then i get all fidgety and antsy and stressed out. hahaha.

i'm trying to work on this, though. i mean, i *know* that there are bound to be stuff that i cannot control or predict. and i'm also aware that most of the time, life gives us surprises - both good and bad. i'm not thrilled about that.. but then again, that's one other thing i can't do anything about.

oh. and of all the things i have so little control over, the one that bugs me the most is.. ME. hahahahaha. yeah. irony of ironies.. the control freak cannot even control herself. sheesh. how weird is that?!?!?

wish it were as easy as not eating that yummy dessert..

You Are 84% Control Freak

You are a total control freak, yet you often feel out of control. If your life isn't "perfect" - it really gets you down.... more than it should!

Are You A Control Freak?

back to love

hahaha. i'm back to reading short stories. this time it's stephen king's collection of dark tales "everything's eventual" :) i didn't realize how much i missed reading until i picked up the book earlier this afternoon. guess that's why the past months have left me feeling quite loopy. i didn't have my nose stuck in any book for the longest time!!! :p

so i guess i have the parlor to thank for getting me back on the reading track. see, this saturday was quite boring (as far as saturdays go, that is - weekends are usually fully booked in our case) - no formation classes to attend, no services, no empowerment seminar, no appointments, etc. it felt weird, having all that time and with nothing much to do. so i went to the parlor beside our house.. to have my long overdue haircut.

and well.. i didn't just have my hair cut. i had "the works" done on it. and because i knew that would take time, i made sure i was armed with a good book to read. hahaha. for the first time, i did not mind staying there in the parlor for more than 2 hours (sheesh.. i never even looked at the time!!).

i miss reading. i hope this gets me back on track, hahahahaha

more about aliens

this is xerox at work. before math class. uhmm. yeah. with my whiteboard markers. it still amazes me how such an er.. "unbalanced" person can balance objects oh so well.. hahahaha :p (peace!!)

today i had lunch with aliens. it wasn't planned at all. somehow, my "alien attractor" got an upsurge of energy and so quite a number of them trooped towards my direction during lunchtime.

so now, the secret notes in my "lunchbox" are not secret anymore. the code has been deciphered, too. oh well. that's just fine with me. aliens are our friends, after all, hahaha.

and i think my mind's turning weirder by the moment. so expect a lot more unusual posts in the coming days.. bwahahahaha..

i love aliens

what can i say? i embrace my weirdness, nyahahahaha.. :p

so much has been going on for the past week; i just did not have the time/energy to sit down and write down a decent log (yes.. all the entries you've read for the past 5 days are post-posts, if you know what i mean). my brain has been storing all the events/happenings/feelings and now it feels like it wants to burst. especially after tuesday's event.. when everything started to spin 'round once more. (by the way, yesterday was quite eventful too, as i gave my sharing for mama nona's worship. hahaha. i think i'll post that in my inspirational blog.. not here :p)

thankfully, i do get a respite from the brouhaha and craziness of life. uhmm.. wait. let me rephrase that. there's always craziness in my life. except that sometimes, the craziness is of a good kind, get my drift? :p like when i inadvertently "magnetize" my trusty alien friends each time i go to school. i can't help it. as soon as i get there, within minutes, i encounter them. i pass them on the hall.. or meet them as i'm going to the room. and after a few more minutes, more of them troop down to where i am. without us planning to do so. it's crazy and kinda freaky.. but i'm used to it. and perhaps so are they.

last tuesday, my alien friends abducted a brown six-legged armored flying creature with a horn. they tamed it and presented it to me as i was headed off to my first class for the day. surprisingly, i was not scared of the creature (in spite of its resemblance to one of my most feared "monsters"). i took it to class.. where another alien branded it with my initial. they dubbed the creature "rox".. and it sort of became the group's pet.

one of the aliens took rox home and fed it.. then he brought it to school again this morning. alas, rox escaped from his containment unit (a.k.a. "the box") and flew to freedom. oh well. perhaps he will be back.

hmm. crazy adventures such as these help to keep me sane. i'm seriously pondering on the truth of my humanity..

my take on friends

i have a lot of "friends" - people i'm comfortable hanging out with.. people i like talking to. but i have only about 2 or 3 *real* friends - the ones i confide in and who know me inside and out.

i love my friends. and i'd normally go out of my way to make them happy or to help them out. but there are limits to what i'm willing to do.. and there are boundaries to my patience and understanding.

yep. there are some things that you simply cannot take back. that's one thing i can say about myself - i can be extremely patient and forgiving.. i give people second, third, fourth, oh heck, innumerable chances. BUT once i get fed up, that's it. no more chances.

you're probably not going to notice, because i'd most likely act the same way towards you. but deep inside, everything's not the same. no.. it simply cannot be the way it used to be. how can it.. when in my mind i've pushed you off that bridge.. and i just stood there - with tears in my eyes - watching as you fell..

[untitled post ito]

whatta day. ha. i thought today would be ho-hum. but just when everything seemed to be so ordinary, that's when i get surprised out of my wits, hahahahaha.

choir practice tonight was really eventful. we were all quite busy. we had lots of songs to review for mama nona's worship tomorrow. the birthday celebrators (for october & november) also prepared dinner for the group.. and they were cooking stuff outside and preparing the food.

and then there was that incident with the taxi driver and our ministry head. umm. i won't expound on that anymore :p

sheesh. things *always* seem to happen when you least expect them to. not that i'm complaining or anything. after all.. well.. just look at the picture.. hahahaha..

my eyes aren't smiling

nyahaha. found this neat pic while browsing through the images at www.zedge.net :p

unlike the pic though, my eyes are *really* tired :( it's been a rough day. i barely had enough energy to drag myself off of bed this morning. then i had to take a cab to work (dad brought my car to the shop - it's turning weird on me again).. make some last minute preparations for class.. and teach for 3 hours straight.

and while it's true that i didn't stay too long in school today (only 3 hours or so.. my mth sked is kinda unusual), i'm finding myself really exhausted.

no happy eyes for me just yet..

wheeeeee!!

i got my 2008 starbucks journal!!! :)

lots of thanx to dad & co - unofficial stockholders of starbucks megamall (4th floor)
hahahaha. i can't wait to fill this one up again..

tripping

whew. lots of stuff happened today. an early start and a late finish. really tiring.. but worth the exhaustion, haha.

had to wake up early for card-giving at school this morning. we advisers had to be there from 8-11am (hence, i had to miss choir prax, boo hoo). i was fine with that.. and it was nice to be able to talk to the parents to update them on their kids' status. admittedly, there were some scary/uncomfortable scenes then (i don't want to dwell too much on those).. but all in all, the card-giving went quite well.

12nn. i was off to lunch with my ex. i met up with him at chocolate kiss.. and the venue was packed. probably coz of the comicon held at the ground floor of bahay ng alumni. oh well. after a couple of minutes of waiting, we eventually got a table. thankfully, we hadn't passed out from hunger just yet, hehe :p

it was fun being able to talk to him again. we hadn't seen each other in.. what.. more than a year, i think?! haha.. na-miss ko rin pala siya :p we had a lot of catching up to do.. but being with him (for me, at least) felt natural. i thought i'd feel awkward.. or that i'd have to put up some kind of front. but no.. he was still easy to talk to. he's changed a lot (so have i).. but in a lot of ways, he's still the same guy i used to know. which is a source of (bittersweet) comfort, somewhat.

the stuff we talked about would probably bore you readers so i won't post them here hahaha :p i'll just say that i had fun today.. and i learned a lot of things, too - what i want (and don't want) in life.. how i've changed.. how i've stayed the same.. and how i can make myself better. i remembered who i used to be.. felt a bit sad.. then i remembered that i'm no longer that same person.. and felt glad. and i realized that i don't have to prove myself to anybody. that i am my own person.. and i don't have to convince anybody that i have worth. kung ayaw nilang maniwala, problema na nila 'yon.. :p

a trip down to memory lane sure works wonders for the spirit. it's definitely not something to be feared..


PS: tox, pag napabili ako bigla ng nintendo ds at nagsisi ako, sasakalin kita.. hahaha..

pa-pa-patrick :p

i remember watching patrick dempsey in "can't buy me love" way back in the 80's. he was.. uhmm.. how do i say this.. well, *kinda* cute - but only in the way you'd call a puppy "cute" (am i mean, or what??!) i didn't give him a second look. in fact, the only reason i remembered him at all was because i liked the way his name sounded, nyahahaha :p

fast forward to 2006. a friend of mine introduced me to grey's anatomy. and there was this really *dreamy* doctor with very expressive eyes and GRRRREAT hair that makes you want to run your fingers through them. and when i looked at the credits, i was soooooo surprised to see "patrick dempsey" listed as one of the cast.

haha. i even had to ask myself who he was on the show. sheesh. mcdreamy indeed!!! who'd have thought, huh?!? :p

just goes to show that sometimes, the geeky/awkward guys can turn out to be hotties in disguise..

did a bit of research on p.d. today. just trivial stuff like bday, faves, etc. hahaha. how nice. how very nice. it could have worked out between us, you know.. if only he'd gone to the philippines and bumped into me ;p

lovin' the rain

wooohooooooo!!!

it rained the whole day today :D

too bad classes didn't get suspended early enough. it would've been fun to just lounge around the house the entire day hehehe..

.. especially since i'm feeling down in the weather (no pun intended).

hmm. i wonder if we have classes tomorrow, nyahahaha :p

*i sooooooo love the rain* :)

bear with me

today i think i got my smile back.
goodness knows why. it's not as if anything extra special happened.
oh. and that thing i've been waiting for..? hasn't happened yet.
my mind's still swimming around..
i'm still feeling tired..
in fact i can feel a bout of flue coming about.
and yet tonight i smiled.
genuinely.
sheeeeeeesh.
my perfectly envisioned rant was ruined.

geeky meets gamey

patterns, patterns, patterns! i see patterns everywhere! sheesh..

*sigh* i just wish i could always tell what comes next.

i hate getting stuck just as much as i hate waiting..

some ideas for math class

i wonder how my students are going to answer a question such as this.. :p
oh well. part of me is wishing they'd be like the seniors who actually solved it.
and part of me is repulsed by the thought, hahahaha.
i'm feeling *evil* today bwahahahaha..

black is not a color

my favorite color isn't even a color. or at least, that's what i learned from art class back in my elementary days.

music is supposed to bring color to life. but for the past few days, it's done nothing but make my world look bleaker and more drab. well, okay.. the previous 48hours had been "colorful".. sort of. but not in a good way for me.

i don't know what will color my world again. at the moment i can't think of anything that will be able to make me smile once more. i don't care if i'm turning into drama queen mode again.. it just plain sucks to be me right now :(

so in spite of my rainbow colored piano keys here.. i still have to say.. my multi colored world consists only of shades of grey..

it's not always black or white

a weird-shaped black "hole"
a blot of shadow
spilt ink on snow
a missing puzzle piece
a dried-up, wilted flower
a missing person
a lost soul

there are many ways of looking at something. different perspectives, different interpretations.

who's to say which one is true and which is not?

new url for my blog. why? well.. i dunno. for the past days, i started "hiding" from people. it's not because i'm antisocial (though i've often been called that). i'm not a total misanthrope. but sometimes.. *sigh*

there are just times when i need to be left alone. with my tantrums. with my weird thoughts. with my tears & my pain.

because i'm not asking for sympathy. or pity. i hate it when people treat me condescendingly. and i don't want to have to keep explaining *why* i feel the way i do.. or to be forced to make an effort to be all "sunshiny" and happy and okay.

so i've moved. but i don't know if i've moved on. maybe. maybe not.

but this is a first step.

i hope to god i'm getting somewhere this time..

sting the butterfly

QUEEN OF PAIN

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
Theres a flag-pole rag and the wind wont stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that youll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the queen of pain

Queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain
I'll always be queen of pain

ctr+alt+DEL

don't you just sometimes wish you could restart *everything*?! wouldn't it be nice if you could, with a push of a button, delete all your past mistakes.. or replay all those ecstatic moments.. or erase unwanted memories and experiences?

every so often, i get these episodes where my brain is filled with disjointed thoughts and ideas. the operative word being *disjointed.* just flashes of images (colors? words? symbols? smells, even?) too fast for me to piece together into any coherent idea.

and recently, these episodes have been happening more and more often.

try as i might, i just can't seem to piece together *anything* - my thoughts are all so "out there".. my days are unproductive.. my decisions are all baseless.. and i.. hmm.. i'm falling to pieces, i think.

honestly, it doesn't hurt. not really. or at least, i don't think so. i wonder if i should be scared now..

de-faced

what do you think of this pic? is it scary? creepy? soothing? calm? dark?
i stare at it and i can almost see the eyes opening to look at me.
and you know what? it doesn't disturb me in the least bit.
i actually find it relaxing, hahahahahaha.
i think there's something seriously wrong with me right now..

believe it or not, i do this too hahaha

well, ok. i don't exactly choreograph fight scenes such as the one on the strip above. but i often do something *kinda* like that hahaha.

i usually hold lots of imagined conversations in my head. all sorts of "what if" scenarios. i think about what i'd say.. how the other person would react/feel. sometimes, i even think of comeback lines and various retorts!! hahahaha.

i guess that's why very few things ever surprise me nowadays. not deja vu. not ESP. not even "prophecies" that come true.

let the fighting begin..

i hate pregnant pauses

"pregnant pause" : this is one of those weird english idioms that one is bound to encounter. it means "a particularly weighted or heavy pause" - hence the term "pregnant" :p

anyway, while i have to admit that pregnant women are interesting (well, to me, at least - they look kinda weird to me - especially the thin women with large watermelon-size bellies, hahaha!), *i do not ever want to be one of them.* EVER. nyahahaha.

and as for pauses? hate 'em. hate all kinds of pauses except vacations like sembreaks (which don't really count 'coz i keep myself busy doing fun stuff during breaks, nyahahaha) i hate waiting. oh, i *can* wait (goodness knows how many times i've waited.. and how long those effing "pauses" lasted!!).. but it doesn't mean that i have to like doing it.

oh well. it's kinda back to school tomorrow. registration and all that. *sigh* guess it's some kind of transition from sem break to second sem. still, i'm so not in the mood.. :(

on hidden things

still feeling quite dark.. even though i've kinda left lovecraft behind a couple of levels back hahaha.
anyway, my current level matches my current state so appropriately.
most certainly, lots of things can be hidden in the dark.

lovin' lovecraft

oka-ay.. my recent (mis)adventures with dracula's riddle led me to google *a lot* of stuff about h.p. lovecraft. and i have to admit, i never really had the chance to find out more about this guy - although i've heard of him from the stuff i've been reading (specifically gaiman's fragile things). and man.. i just realized i've missed out on so much!! :p

anyway. i'm planning on reading lovecraft's short stories when i have the time. i like his theme. bwahahaha! i think i certainly could do with a bit more of those.. >:p

colorful "undas"

okay. umm "colorful" isn't exactly the first word that comes to mind when describing all saints' day (or is it all souls' day?!). but that aptly describes my day today, hahaha :p

it's been a tradition of our family (the velasquez family, natch) to go to loyola cemetery in marikina every november 1st. we stay there from 10am to around lunchtime.. after which, we eat out together before going home.

this year is no exception. it would have been a really great day.. except for the weather. sheesh. i was hoping for some rain (but apparently, no one else welcomed the thought).. but the weather was *sooooooooooo* hot!! ugh. sapped my energy, totally. but i did get to snap some shots at the cemetery.

cousin domz had work (call center people have weird working hours. fortunately they have good financial compensation bwahahaha - LIBRE!!!) in the morning, so he just went to meet up with us at don henrico's sta lucia.

lunch was YUMMY!!!!! sheesh. the servings in that restaurant were *HUGE!!!* hahaha. all i had was a piece of buffalo chicken wing and a slice of pizza (and of course, 2.5 glasses of their totally refreshing iced green tea).. and i could no longer eat another bite. i'm definitely going back there, hahahaha.

oh. and i enjoyed myself a lot, too.. thanx to cousin trishia's nintendo ds (yay, mario! bwahaha).. and cousin domz' wacky company.

whod've thought all saints'/souls' day could be so fun?! :p
