Man who sneezes without hanky takes matters into his own hands.

I have no subject in mind but I have this urge to update my blog so I'll just feature random thoughts today. Here it goes:


When I feel bored, I always look at this pictures. It always make me laugh:-)



Riding jeepneys is not uncommon to us, but sometimes its annoying when someone asks you to hand his payment to the driver and didn't even bother to say "thanks" or even give a nod just to acknowledge the good deed you have done. Is this action our duty as a jeepney riders or are we doing favor to other passengers? I don't mind saying "thanks" when done the same thing, I wonder why others have this "bossy attitude" :-)


NBA season starts in a couple of days yahoo!!! Bad thing is, we changed our cable TV service and I think Solar Sports is not available on our new provider. So its either I watch reply games on local channels or I just visit the nba site more often :-) Who do you think will be the champion this season? My bold prediction, given the core players are healthy, Detroit Pistons will take the crown this year. I'm also looking forward on watching the Golden State Warriors , Baron Davis + Jason Richardson=Dunk Contest :-)


I decided not to avail my leaves for November 2 and 3 because I want to work on my current projects. I'll just use them on December :-)

Gotta go, work mode..

Nina Alive and Kicking At Hard Rock Cafe

Last night we went at Hard rock cafe to watch nina perform live. I'm with Marhgil, Marco and our girlfriends(except marhgil, claiming he'll just snatch one at the venue). We arrived at the venue 730pm and since we went straight from the office we haven't had our dinner yet. Since I don't like the taste of hardRock's food (read between the lines please, "Je veux économiser mon argent précieux!!") we have to go out to have dinner. The staff won't allow us to do so we have to eat by batch :-).

Fast Forward... 9:30pm. This is the supposed to be start of the show, but as Filipinos we are very accustomed to this. We were joking that maybe they will just play clips of Nina in concert at the wall screen since it was not indicated on the banners outside that she will perform live.Stupid assumptions though. A few more ticks of the clock, and finally the DJ officially announced the start of the show. Nina just came out of nowhere, singing a cut from her Nina Live Album, Stay (with me). She was awesome, not to mention hot. As expected, most of the songs she sang came from the live album with the exception of "I believe I can fly" and medley of Hale's "The day you said goodnight" (I liked her version more than the original :-) ) and Cueshe's "Stay". We were very much satisfied with her stunning performance.


Nina in action :-)

Closing remarks... Any idea where the name "Hard Rock Cafe" came from? According to the Washington Times (7/2/97), when a Virginia High School student exposed mice to hard rock music 10 hours a day for three weeks, their ability to navigate a maze they already knew decreased significantly. A control group, exposed to classical music, actually improved their maze time. The experiment was cut short because the hardrock mice ate each other. My version is, if you go to Hard Rock Cafe and you're not "ready", you will end up banging your head to any hard rock you will see soon after you've paid the bills :-)

Ciao!

Overw8 ... Body Mass Index .... Argh!!!

Yesterday me and Marco went to Medicard's clinic at Dela Costa St. to have our annual physical exam. I was nervous because I still remember the last time I have this medical checkup for employment purposes the doctor asked me to get naked and do weird positions and actions that I don't want to elaborate anymore. :-)

On our way to the clinic, I suddenly lost my sense of direction and argh!! we got lost. My fault, because I wasn't listening when my boss was giving me the instructions on how to go there. But through patience and PR we were able to find it.

Inside the clinic, the atmosphere is very, very nice. The nurses/physicians are very approchable unlike in most public hospitals wherein you need to beg for their mercy in order for you or your sicked relative to get attended. The real reason for this difference is very obvious: money. And then a shocking revelation happened. I am OVERWEIGHT!!! Actually I'm not that surprised since I already knew my BMI (Body Mass Index) because the gym where I do my workouts posted a chart about that. So I guess I need to emphasize more on my diet :(

Kotex not best thing on earth, but next to best thing.

It was a loooong weekend for me. Last Friday night we scheduled a basketball game and guess what happened? I got my lateral miniscus injured again, merely got in trouble with the other guys on another court (still thinking what the heck are they thinking...) and muscle pains all over my body. Nice prize for doing what I like to do most.

After the game me, BJ, Marco and Marhgil decided to go to Batangas and visit the wake of Kukote's "ang tiyo"(uncle). We made a stop at a gasoline station along south super hi-way to have our dinner which mostly composed of green salads and sandwiches (Diet spirit!!). After that we went back to the road and resumed our journey and it was great; cool sounds (except the Shaider theme hehe!!), neverending ghost stories as we pass thru a poorly lighted zigzag road and a lot of interesting conversations happened inside Kukote's Toyota Altis. After almost 2 hours we arrived at Kukote's house. As we take a look on his uncle's remains, I suddenly remembered my grandmother who just passed away last June. It's really hard to lose someone very close to you :-(

Since we have nothing to do but to sit there and bum, we played pusoy dos until someone felt sleepy(whodahell is he?) and convinced the others to sleep too and wakeup 6am sharp then go home. Unfortunately, we woke up at 8am :-) We went home, then I slept the whole day.

Saturday, 7pm. I remembered that this day is "girlfriend's day" (not girlfriends day) so I immediately got off my bed, took a quick shower then fixed myself. I called her and asked her what she's doing and if she want to watch a movie. We've met, had dinner then went to glorietta 4. We originally plan to watch both "The 40 year old virgin" and "Dubai" but due to schedule conflict its not possible to do so. So we've decided to watch "The 40 Year old virgin" which stars Steve Carrell and it is absolutely hilarious.. The Php130 ticket price is worth spending.

Sunday, 3pm. Girlfriend's day 2 (not Girlfriend 2 day). We went to SM Bicutan to pay our phone bills and to window shop before going to a 6pm mass in Makati. We passed through to the perfume section and felt the urge to try new scents and brands. She asked me what brand I prefer to buy and I said "Acqua di Gio" since I badly want to have another bottle of that perfume. But I lost interest with that perfume that time because the attending store clerk is such an asshole and have no plans of entertaining us for reasons he only knows (Maybe I don't look like I have the money to buy it...) . So we moved to the next booth and greated by the clerk with a warm welcome then he displayed the best sellers in front of us. I've tried most of it before so actually none of the perfumes captured my interest until I have smelled this perfume which I will not reveal the name because I want to smell unique all the time :-). Negotations followed between my girl and the clerk which confused me.. I want the perfume, but I will not buy it that time because I don't have the money yet.. Until she told me that she will be the one to pay for it.. A gift for no reason at all..Whoa!! That's a real shocker for me, since I'm not comfortable of receiving gifts from her because its not proper. But she insisted, so I just let her do so. Anyway I'm not that hard to convince :-) So the deal was closed. If you could only see the face of the clerk from the Acqua Di Gio booth. Loser!! Lesson here is: Never judge a person by his/her looks. Maybe he just live across the street, and find it stupid to dress up anymore. :-)

About the title, it is not related to my post, but this made me laugh last week.
