Got milk?

I bought several tetrapacks of milk last week because I felt I needed variety when I chow down on Frosted Flakes every morning. Of course, I can never tell which is best with cereal because the milk gets overpowered each time with the flavour of the flake. But since I'm out of cereal, I drank all three of them in one sitting. The Alaska Fresh Milk was alright, Nestle Fresh didn't have any taste. like, at all. The Bear Brand(y) was the best. It was kinda sweet. A bouncy boy asked if I had Nido. I even didn't know Nido was available in ready to drink packs. Maybe he's just being a know it all. So there.

Gasp

Class! She wore it with her matching lace sweater.

Today's random images

I'm not even going to comment.
With a lousy DSL connection like theirs, your life will really change - but definitely not for the better.

Dido

Dido admits to her legions of fans that the reason why she went into song writing is so that she can sleep with more guys. "And it worked," she said. She's such a skank. But at least all that romping is put into good use.

Random Sunday shnazz

My Mom and I used to keep an eye out for a certain family in church because the two sons reminded us of what my brother and I were like when we were kids. The older one was quiet while the other always had a toy and would walk around half the time. I don't remember if I always had a toy but I do recall leaving my pew every now and then to explore the church. We haven't been seeing them lately which is a bummer. I think the Holy Spirit told them about our weekly gazes so that must have scared the beejeepers out of them. Or maybe they moved to another part of the church, I dunno. Anyway, this family sat in front of us awhile ago. No, they didn't remind me of my childhood because my brother and I never wore the same outfit, unlike these three cute stooges who sported the same Espana shirts . Aside from them, there are other characters who made today's religious experience amusing. Like this girl who wore the brightest and reddest pair of shoes I've ever seen in my entire life. She paired it with a handbag that came in the same shade - Really, Really, Really Red. After mass, we had lunch in Mongkok. The kids behind us had Yellow Cab pizza. They should have been charged corkage or something. Then we did the grocery... ... where I spied South Supermarket's prized health bars, which were under lock and key. It's so delicate that you have to ask for assistance if you want to take a look at them. I'm being sarcastic. I have no clue why these health bars were locked up in the display cabinet when it's just P100 bucks each.

Sweet satisfaction

I've been intending to satisfy my craving for a hot fudge sundae for weeks but I always forget to. Then on the way home from a dinner last night, I finally remembered to swing by McD's to get one. But it was only after licking the cup dry that I also remembered I'm supposed to be cutting down on sweets. I should have ordered a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries instead.

Hello, hello, ola!

Dear readers (yes, all five of you), I'm sorry I've been out of it. Nothing really exciting has been happening. It's just the usual shnazzload of work that never ends and the daily drive to the city. Waking up at 630 am to get ready isn't funny. I wonder how the lot of you do it. If it wasn't for Pho Lo who told me to update, I would'nt have remembered to look back, analyze the week that was, and blog about it. So here are the random things I learned the past week: - There are 22 dinosaur models in Cafe Puccini at the Fort. It should go well with some spinach canneloni. - The wall that was once red in Cuisine will never be again. It's now yellow. And will stay that way. - It's not good to berate or throw a rolled up napkin at someone who had just quit smoking. - If you chug a glass of screwdriver in 5 minutes, you will definitely be screwed. - That the Joey Samson "jacket" I got at Myth is really a shirt. Thanks to the latest ish of Garage for pointing it out. - The lighting in Members Only is nice. - Life is like scrabble. You sometimes have to find the right words to get a triple letter score. - Some U2 songs might not make any sense at first listen but they actually do after you listen to it several times on full volume.

At Church

I was busy trying to analyze the priest's beating-around-the-bush sermon about life after death and counting the number of times he said "okay" when this imp starts yelling something gibberish at the top of her lungs. Which ticked me off because my train of thought got derailed and I hate it when that happens. The seed of Chucky was bearable for the first 5 minutes till she probably decided that all the world is a stage so she left her spot behind us and took her production number in front of where we were seated. She even pranced her way till the church door, and around the crowd, even startling this old man beside me who had fallen asleep. I know he got startled because I saw him pop out from his subconscious from the corner of my eye. I would have whacked the child with a Monobloc chair but unfortunately, I was in church. Maybe the child's parents thought their little gremlin provided entertainment to the other church goers who looked bored listening to the priest who went on and on about today being All Soul's Day. I definitely was because he said that like, fifteen times. "Yesterday was All Saint's Day," he said. "Today is All Soul's Day. We must pray por all dos who hab died especially the beekteems op natooral calamities and human bayolens, and those who have met anexpected det." I thought what he said was familiar until I read the Euchalette. There it was, right there in the introduction. Anyway, after a while the child finally shut up much to the relief of the woman with bad hair in front of me. Her mother, who I saw was checking herself out on her compact, carried her lil devil and took her inside the church, probably for an exorcism. Before the mass ended, they invited everyone to recite this prayer to the Holy Spirit. It was really the weirdest thing because it was to thank for a successful planning session which happened last August. Okay, this entry didn't make any sense at all.
