against the flow

been busy (really?) and i haven't been able to update. well, it's jsut that i prefer to do something else online than update my blog, that's all. so what have i been up to?

-i've learned how to solve a rubik's cube (yeah yeah im a poser. it's quite cool though!

-stepped inside a casino (won a good number initially then lost everything i had later on. haha)

-new pets (i have 2 new hermit crabs which i bought shells for. designer homes compared to the drab and smaller ones they came with.)

-dead pets (probably due to the heat and negligence on my part, some of my babies are dead. another died of sickness. 4 deaths in my collection. *sigh*)

-piano (been practicing. not seriously enough though. if i do want to graduate in two years, i have to let go of a lot of stuff in my lifestyle right now.)

oh, and last tuesday was awesome. some guys who came to my birthday celebration (pat, ja, alvin, and miro) schemed for a weekly poker night with highschool classmates. and so it came to be. a good number showed up, being an impromptu kinda thing. 10 guys showed up and we poked and drank the night away. pat had a PS3. it was awesome. it had the guitar hero peripheral and i spent quality time with it.

good times, guys. looking forward to the next poker night.  

okay, it seems that the rainy season is a bit TOO EARLY this year. i haven't been to the beach yet and i think that this spells DISASTER.

i do hope the weather clears up if our planned highschool reunion pushes through. it'll be in batangas in a private beach. well, before i hope that the weather clears up, i better hope that people would be wanting to go in the first place.

also, there's a family trip to Bohol and Boracay in the works. i really hope that weather won't get in the way.

stupid global warming. 

my dad arrived from mindanao a few days ago and along with him, he brought 2 bilaos of calamansi from the orchard and boxes of suman. and i mean BOXES. this means an endless supply of calamansi juice. i mean, i drink it like water. sometimes, unsweetened. quite tasty. i've been trying drinking it warm and it's relaxing. i might have a substitute for tea! come to think of it, calamansi and tea might go well together. hmm. or maybe i can make a calamansi iced tea infusion. sorry, that's the iron chef inside of me speaking. i've been watching episodes on youtube as if i was easting tictacs.

dad also brought home some really old pictures from lolo's house in mindanao. the pics date back to when i was three years old. how do i know? there's a superman birthday cake on the pictures. it looks like a birthday party with cousins and uncles and some other unknown mustached men. as an added treat, i'm also dressed in a kiddie sized superman costume. the pics also show my upper lip is wounded. i kinda remember from my childhood that i got knocked down by someone on a swing and knocked out a couple of my front teeth.

good times.
