deco's, fudge brownies and hamsters

DECO's lapaz batchoy has reopened here in iloilo city. it is (supposedly) the original lapaz batchoyan. Ted's and Nat's only followed. How come these batchoyans are named after guys? Why isn't there Inday's Lapaz batchoy, Milagrosa's Lapaz batchoy, etc?

Anyways, we sampled the "original" batchoy with puto and pre-war pandesal(those very small, almost-crumpled yet oh-so-tasty pandesal). It was the first time i finished my bowl of batchoy so i guess deco's batchoy is really good...or it might be because i was too hungry...do you know the "secret ingredient" for a great-tasting batchoy? it's a virgin's used panty soaked in the caldo hahaha that's according to my mom who got it from a relative chuva

Guess what else i discovered today? decos' was being financed by mang inasal (40-60) for its reopening. Apparently, ted's was serving rice, chicken, and barbecue aside from batchoy so mang inasal, in the spirit of competition and increasing their profit, thought of being business partners w/ deco's. So don't be surprised when the table next to you have customers eating rice, pork bbq, and batchoy. me, i find it gross. one bowl of batchoy is more than enough, i usually can't finish it. they must be really REALLY hungry.

after eating batchoy we went grocery shopping. MAYA's oven toaster fudge brownies were on sale at the grocery store so we bought two boxes. In my opinion, the MAYA brand has the best and tastiest (hotcake) mix so it follows that all their mixes should be tasty too. it is. even with the top burnt, the fudge brownie was very sweet and tasty yum yum.

my eight year old niece has two male hamsters. father and son only survived after mama hamster died from abdominal aneurysm (or cannibalism) and brother and sister hamsters were too weak to live. a few hours ago, i had to rescue papa hamster from his son because HIS SON was eating him. ALIVE. damn, if you only saw how papa hamster tried to get away tsk tsk his eyes were bitten and also parts of his face. we had to separate the two. i'm betting papa hamster won't last 'til friday....he's too old, getting weak and all that accumulated sperm cells must've damaged his prostate too teehee

survival of the fittest.

when i woke up, papa hamster was already dead and buried.

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

Yeah yeah

I remember when
I was hanging with my friends
That's when I caught your eye
You thought that I was fly
Right then you wished that I would be your baby (be your baby)
You try to get some game
Asking me girl what ya name
All that ice upon ya chain
So I asked you the same
Something tells me that we have fun together (fun together)

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when I judge your wine
I know your only mine
Tonight is yours
Tomorrow is for another guy (another guy)

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

You've been calling me
Leaving messages all week
Was your curiousity
Got ya knees weak
I'm not looking for a man
So I don't want no confusion (no confusion)
I took ya to the floor
Got ya begging me for more
But that was my queue to go
So I hit the door
I let you hot
With your mind used to running wild (running wild)

I ain't easy to find
I'm a one of a kind
Oh when I judge your wine
I know your only mine
If you stick around
Be careful not to fall in love (fall in love)

I'm way too cool for ya boy
That's why it'll never work
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
We're only gonna do your dirt
We'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

Now a couple months have past
Never thought that this would last
Oh everybody asked
How ya got a girl like that
But you should've known
That nothing lasts forever (lasts forever)
I mashed up ya mind
When I tell you lies
But boy don't be suprised
That I'm seeing other guys
I'm too young to settle
And you should've known better (known better)

Damn all these beautiful girls (you should have known)
We're only gonna do your dirt (cos I'll have)
I'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When I say it's over

top of my movie list

you know what music is? harmonic connection between all living beings...
it's all around us. all you have to do is listen.


i just saw the trailer of "august rush" and i love it!

Synopsis:

August Rush tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist Lois (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist Lyla (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

Trailer:




heartbreaking scene:

Louis (JRM) grows up to be a businessman having given up on music, but he ends up playing one day with August, not even knowing they are father and son.



i just know it's going to be a great movie =)

thankyoulord!!!!!!!!!!



omg! the past few hours were nerve-wracking...the results of the 2007 PNLE were released around 530 pm yesterday but our results (DOLE CGFNS certification) weren't released until midnight....

bilatibay-ya! it was Murphy's law at its best...i had to buy a USB LAN because i thought the PCI slots of my motherboard were broken...when i installed the USB LAN card, the windows wizard was looking for the driver (the driver installer was conspicuously slipped under the package..i discovered this 5 hrs AFTER i bought the frigging LAN card) and i panicked because i don't have it (no LAN = no DSL = cannot download driver)...genius me thought it best to reformat my pc to see if it'll solve the problem w/ the old LAN card (it didn't).....all the time i was reformating my pc i was praying the results won't come out until i'd be finally online....

when i did go online, the site was lagged!! it took forever for the page to load...hahah seeing my name all nice and pretty in the roll of successful examinees was all worth it though teehee

wheeee!!! *sugar high*
