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

Golden Chestnut

I was saddened upon hearing news about my haircutter/hairdresser/hairstylist.. I like to use “haircutter” coz all she really does is cut my hair. Anyway, I was gonna get a haircut yesterday but was told that my beloved haircutter migrated to Dubai. PERFECT. What am I supposed to do now, Pacita?! There you are frolicking in dunes and riding camels yet here I am wallowing in my awful hair!!

Two Became Four

Posted: January 1st, 1970 | No Comments »

I’ve mentioned to a few folks that I have what I call “two-pack” abs. Even joked about it a couple times. I’m talking about a pair of abs below my chest that have been there for as long as I can remember. They kinda just stood there in a shroud of nothingness… lol…. In my New Year’s Resolutions post I said:(My goal is to) Have a complete set of abs. It’s a frustration of mine that will no
