Presentation went well. Lots of questions (most of them eventually turned into personality test types towards the middle of the Q&A part, which I hope is good). Crossing my fingers for now.

Just finished making a 27-slide presentation for tomorrow. Here's to hoping I get to discuss everything on it within 45 minutes PLUS question and answers. I just had to have a migraine attack. Two painkillers can make you feel buzzed, pala! 10AM, later. Wish me luck kids! :)

What could have been a beautiful game, turned into an embarrassing display of really bad temper gone haywire. Stupid, really. I can only imagine how hard it'll be to sing the Alma Mater hymn right after that...

Beautiful. New Family Guy DVD's rolling off the line. I want.
Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story
Family Guy vol. 3
--
My brother Job is dissecting this cat downstairs. I went down for my Insulin shot, and he was talking to himself, doing one of those CSI-esque tirades. Something for class he says (me not looking at what he was doing). He always threatens me he'll one day bring up the cat to my room. I'll torch that damned cat if he does that. Dehins ko talaga matake yung pusa na cadaver. Punyeta. And here I am, the zombie-flick lover. Talk about "hanlabo".

For almost a year now, I've been planning to get a Scuba license. And after seeing the news items on the Giant-Squid sighting in Japan, I feel the need to get that license! Though I think you have to be really really deep to see something like this, and come to think of it I'd want to be inside "something" safe when Mr. "Calamares" shows up. I love eating squid pa naman, I wonder if Squids/Octopi are like Dogs, they'll know if you eat their kind. Man this thing'll make one big-ass IKA sushi roll!

Apparently the iPod Nano has some "faults" that come with it, well a batch, I think. I still want one though. My iPod wants a friend. :)

I think it's pathetic I was only to watch Top Secret yesterday. For the first time. I can't believe I missed out on this.

I was by Banawe today, had the car go through a routine check up. Anyway, so I was there with the mechanic cleaning the terminals of my computer box, I had to park by a "canal" because the stores in Banawe have only single paking lots right in front of their shops. Ironic for a place which is essentially the de facto hotspot for "gray-market-car-service/parts/etc.". So yeah, I was pretty bothered by the stench of the canal, so curious me takes a look at what the hell the water looked like (something told me that if it stank, it should look like something that stinks!), the next thing I knew I was staring down at a black-oozing stream of oil mixed with the canal-water. I mean it looked like an oil tanker tipped over! Apparently mechanics who service cars for change-oil jobs DUMP the oil from those jobs into the canal. Talk about polluted water. I can only feel sorry for whatever place that much oil goes to on a daily basis. I think it eventually filters out to the ocean, or something. Jeez. Crazy, really. I think there's this lucrative market for recycling used oil, these mechanics need to be told that.

I brought Iris and my brother to Cold Rocks at The Fort. It's this fancy ice cream joint which serves your typical foray of ice cream flavors (at least they had choco mint, my favourite) plus some pretty branded toppings. Fucking expensive I tell you! Iris got the smallest serving size cup, plus one choice for her topping, chocolate ice cream with Nestle Crunch topping, uhuh Chocolate on Chocolate, go figure haha! Cost me almost 150 pesos! That's a lot considering it's just ice cream! Not gelato, or some exotic mix. Their biggest size serving comes in a cup (which is actually the size of an upsized Mcdonalds drink) goes for around 699, I think. That's just obscene. I heard the place gets packed during the weekends. I'll stick to the gelato from Amici de Don Bosco. :)

Last Sunday was the first time I watched a La Salle vs. Ateneo game not being part of the Pep Squad. I thought I was going to enjoy sitting. I didn't. I was on my feet shouting on the top of my lungs 90% of the time. So yeah, it was fun. It was also fun seeing how some companies were taking advantage of the draw of the UAAP games by giving out free "stuff", plus this hat I got was pretty cool too! Check 'em out. :)
I also have to buy the person who thought of the Half-time-show exit "thing" a beer, where the cheerleaders who performed on the floor did an "Arana-esque" exit. Yeah that technical-foul inducing "dance". :)

It's a House M.D night tonight. Watch watch watch! AXN! 10PM

Thank you for making Land of the Dead. I loved it. Eventhough, I think, our local sensors kinda cut some parts. For fucks sake! It's a fucking zombie flick, it's George Romero! Duh! I guess they just had to do that to get the R-13 rating. Tsk. And the cuts!! man, were they so obvious. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Zombie!!!!! *person stumbles* Zombie's about to bite a body part off *blip* Ahhhhh!!! Zombie!!!!". Punyeta.
The most bad ass Zombie ever. Smart, too!

I keep on forgetting my car is color-coded (?) on Mondays. For people who don't live in the Philippines, due to the amount of traffic we have here in Manila, the government has this thing called "color coding", which basically prevents people from using their cars on certain days based on the last number of your plate number (now come to think of it, where's the color in the number-coding, hmmm, I think it should just be called number-coding). Anyway, so yeah, if for example your plate number ends in 1 or 2 you can't drive on Mondays, 3 or 4 Tuesday, and so on. Saturdays and Sundays are exempted from the NUMBER coding days. The whole thing works, actually, but with all the jeepneys , taxi cabs and tricycles we have around, it's pretty much pointless. Anyway so yeah, last year I think, the group of city governments decided to give leeway to people who have only one car. There's this number-coding window from 10AM-3PM wherein anyone (whose car is coded) can bring out their car and go wherever they want to. Except for some cities in the Metro (Makati and San Juan, I think) don't follow the "window", and people who are caught driving coded cars will still be apprehended. :) Fun!
So anyway, I went out today forgetting my car was coded. I think I passed three traffic aids who were practically screaming their butts off after attempting to hail me down. I think I can now write a book on escaping and evading MMDA aides, especially the traffic aides in Makati! Hehe!
So there.

Update: The house help found my license inside the washing machine! Yay!

If you're around the Quezon City area, and looking for a place to eat, do try Heaven N Eggs. It's located along Tomas Morato, and they serve food reminscient of the now defunct (but still operating, I heard) Country Waffles. Steak and Eggs, all day breakfasts, and your typical American Diner food and some Filipino dishes to boot. Good food, really. Their pancakes are served with 4 different syrups (Maple, Coconut, Pineapple, and Peach), Iris loves pineapple. And I heard their desserts are to-die for. A bit heavy on the wallet, though, but nonetheless I personally think the food is worth it.
If you are on a budget, and you're craving for some steaks. Check out Hotrocks (along Libis), they have really good steaks at really reasonable prices (I think the meat comes from Batangas). So there.
:)
So much for not eating, hehe!
--
Some stuff I've been listening to lately, which y'all might want to check out:
The new Sigur Ros album: Takk (translates to Thanks).
Nouvelle Vague's self titled album, the explicit one of course. :)
Joni Mitchell's Blue.
And yeah, I'm still listening to a lot of Franz Ferdinand.
Click. Download. Put on headphones. Zone out...
