Blast from the Past

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

Universal Studios, Circa 1996The pic above was taken during one of the darkest eras of my life. Bushy brows, fake tan-like tan, gap teeth, braces and fake golf outfit. I found this souvenir pic sitting in my mom’s office storage recently. I haven’t seen it in a long time. It should have stayed that way until somebody decided to resurrect it out of its tomb! It’s ok coz I couldn’t help but

Precarious Saturday

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

I can’t quite recall the last time I saw or spoke to my uncle Rene. He is my mother’s first cousin, the son of my grandfather’s sister. He also happened to be my high school English teacher, of which I have fond memories of. Outside of the classroom, conversations between me and my uncle were limited, if not non-existent. At parties he would sit in one corner and not talk to anyone other than

I Dunno…

Looks to me that I have to become underweight to fulfill my dream. I am binging on a lot of protein lately to make up for the weight loss but my weight keeps dropping. Today I lessened my cardio to 5 minutes of jogging (about 1km) and spent the rest of the time lifting weights and doing ab exercises. I’m famished! Looking forward to a heavy dinner at a new Japanese restaurant I discovered.

Bastille Day in France

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

Bastille Day is an important national holiday celebrated in France every July 14. It commemorates the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison that led to the eventual dissolution of the monarchy and the establishment of France’s first Republic. My cousins and I were lucky enough to be travelling in France that day! We *kinda* slept in the entire morning, thus we missed the festivities held on the

Sea Dragon

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

It’s been ages since I’ve gone to a perya (fair). One night, my friends and I went to one and challenged amongst ourselves to go on what appeared to be a “tame” ride, the “Sea Dragon”.The Sea Dragon works like a pendulum. At the end of the pendulum, a boat-shaped contraption (where passengers are seated) is swung from left to right in increasingly sharp angles and speeds. If you’ve been on

Tony & Jackey

The rolling brownouts in Davao are an annoyance! Electricity conks out at exactly 1PM everyday. At the rate it’s going, my desktop computer will end up a corrupted piece of junk. I might as well turn it off 10 minutes prior to the scheduled brownout or risk losing my data. It’s funny coz it’s become like an involuntary routine for me to stand up from my computer chair once the pc blacks out

Halo-halo

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

After badminton, we had greaseless chicken at Sunburst. Have to mention that their crispy chicken skin is the best! While eating we had a discussion about the best halo-halo in the Philippines. Well, these friends of mine came from General Santos City and couldn’t stop talking about some off-the-beaten-track place somewhere in Cotabato that serves their halo-halo in fresh coconut shells and

Back to Badminton

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

I’m glad my friends are back from General Santos City! It means we could go back to playing badminton. We’re scheduled to play tomorrow from 4-6pm. My cousin Gwing (who’s a varsity player) will be around to teach my friends the proper way to play. Also, from now on I’ll try to log the food I eat each day. It is supposed to help me stick to my diet.Lunch: Grilled Maya-maya fish with 1/4 cup
