sugar, spice & everything nice

i don’t know what’s with me today, but i woke up feeling all happy. as in brady-bunch happy– giddy, light-headed and smiling. that’s odd, because a few days ago i was like the mother of all bitches. maybe it’s the do-wah-diddy-diddy stuff i downloaded last night. anyhoo, while i’m still in a good mood, i’d better write this down.

life’s probably not unfair. just complex.

ok, i’d probably stab myself for saying this today, but hey, when was the last time i said something positive? lol.

too frustrated to think of one.

if you’d ask about my goals for the next five to ten years, i can answer you with all the elaborate bullcrap i could think of, the kind that makes your eyes twinkle whenever you fantasize about your early retirement. but here comes reality, folks: i don’t really know what i want in life. i am neither happy nor sad. perhaps resigned. cheap cologne lingers longer than any of my interests.

it’s also the reason why i get frustrated with my designs and its contents– they are all messed up. scattered and aimless.

*sigh*

chinese leeks

if some households have basil, rosemary or chili in their garden, i have chinese leeks. there is a huge pot full of it, and daemi decided to be creative with them.

like, chicken adobo with chinese leeks. fried tofu with chinese leeks. beefsteak with chinese leeks. giniling with leeks. stirfried tenderloin with chinese leeks. pesto spaghetti with chinese leeks. fried eggs with chinese leeks. fried chicken breading with chinese leeks. bangus with chinese leeks. in other words, it’s “{insert menu here} with chinese leeks”.

two nights ago, she asked me to teach her how to make sauteed chicken breast with broccoli. problem is, we don’t have broccoli or any other suitable vegetable substitute in the fridge.

then she says, “what about chinese leeks?”

she was staring at me, waiting for my approval. i could sense that she’s already thinking about getting a knife and start chopping off a few stems. so i quickly told her that the chinese leeks will only ruin the overall taste of the recipe, and that we’ll settle for onions instead. i heard her utter a disappointed “oh”.

but don’t get me wrong. chinese leeks can give certain dishes a nice kick, but i’m sure you don’t want em in your fruit salad.

ctrl-z

after editing tons of pictures these past few days, the fingers on my left hand turned into an efficient shortcut machine, on which the most used shortcut was CTRL-Z. for some of you who don’t know what it is, it’s the keyboard shortcut for Undo.

ctrl-z is pretty convenient. i’ve gotten used to its convenience that i’ve developed this silly instinct to press two imaginary keys whenever i make a blunder that’s not computer-related. like putting iodized salt into my coffee just now. how classic. after realizing what i’ve just done, i thought, my god, i’m a fatass nerd who needs to get a life!

hehe.

but seriously, don’t you wish life is that simple and easy? no need to complicate things with apologies, regrets, resentments and the whole hullabaloo. why can’t we just keep on pressing Undo and make it right the next time around?

two small keystrokes.

graphology crap

hm..

The results of your analysis say:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

why i hate getting a massage

i never liked getting foot massages. never did, never will. here’s why.

when i arrived at the salon today for the hot oil treatment, i noticed there wasn’t a single magazine for me to waste my time on. the recepionist suggested that i get foot spa while i wait for the treatment to finish. despite the fact that i disliked getting one, i thought it’s a better option than staring at nothing.

it was soothing at first. they put these squishy gel thingies and instructed me to squish it using my feet. i was just starting to get the hang of it when the attendant took my foot and began kneading it.

potah, hindi talaga kaya ng powers ko. i tried my best not to laugh out loud. in fact, i was praying hard that she’d stop. unfortunately, she didn’t just ignored my agony.. she pressed the sole so hard that i laughed out loud and kicked her nose.

she was hysterical and i was very embarrased when the other clients woke up to see what’s going on. i profusely apologized, gave her a tip and watched crappy tv show instead. -_-0

spiral buffet

i feel awful.

my tummy felt like it’s full of cotton, and i don’t have any appetite the whole day. last night, after i came back from greenbelt, j drove by my house and dragged me out for dinner. i learned that his friends were waiting at westin hotel’s spiral buffet (click here for pictures by michelle morelos).

i haven’t had dinner yet so i was a bit excited to start munching. the food was good but not as good as the one in mindorine oriental. pretty darn expensive, too. -_- if there’s something that’s worth every penny you paid for, stock up on salmon sashimis. buffet managers are clever enough not to include puffer fish and eel. ooooh.

anyway. i’ve had too much of the good stuff that i think my appetite won’t be returning for a day or two.

*rolls over and drools*

fagdog does it again

we went to the vet yesterday for chokey’s (perverted fagdog) checkup. when we got there, there was this st. bernard drooling peacefully at one corner of the clinic. the moment my fagdog saw it, he dashed towards it and began humping.

buti na lang hindi siya pinapansin. ang taas mangarap ng loko no?
