Sea Sick

I have a weak stomach for sea sailing. I get sea sick easily and dining in Prestige Cruises was definitely a bad idea.

I was left with no choice. I had to board with my family to spend my Kuya Allen's pre-birthday celebration dinner -- his last birthday to spend with us before he go to SG.

Traffic was so bad that we thought we couldn't make it to our 8 o'clock reservation. Thanks to my kuya's good driving skills and directions instinct we made it on time.

That's the yacht beside ours.

While waiting for the "ship" (As what baby Enzo believes it to be) to depart, we just killed boredom and ignored our growling stomachs by taking photos and enjoying the feel of being in a yacht. *ehemfeelingmayaamnehem*

 And at last, after the long wait, food was served -- Buffet style. In this kind of setting, what you pay for isn't the food. AND THIS IS THE TRUTH. Food ain't bad at all but it's not really satisfying and not to mention not enticing to eat. It was rather disappointing. And the singers just added to my disgust when they kept on singing songs alien to our ears. They kept on mumbling some Korean shit which I am unfamiliar to and I'm hellava sure that I am not alone. No offense meant to KPOP fans. 

I like their brownies though. It made up for all the nasty shits.. :)

My advice? Learn to appreciate what your eyes can see. Feast on the beautiful shoreline view from the yacht. Enjoy the experience and don't spoil the fun. In my case, I was happy because I was able to spend quality time with the whole family.

At the end of the day. Family is still the priority.

PS. Can somebody just remind me not to order Starbucks' Cranberry White Chocolate Cappucino? It's very addicting. :s

PSS. I'll create a photo blog of me and my pamangkin next. Hihihi. =">

Honestly speaking, I've been staring at this blinking cursor for quite a while in an attempt to write about something. And so far what's going through my mind now is plain confusion. A mixture of negative emotions I wanted to get rid off. This is so not me.

So forgive me for the negative aura I'm causing right now. It's just that I'm really tired. And thanks, but no thanks to my mum who have no plans of making my life easier by the way.

TIRED. TIRED. TIRED.

Titanic

I don't know why it took me 13 years to watch the whole movie of Titanic.

I know the whole Jack-Rose and the ship sinking shit story but I didn't really have the chance to watch it full length. Thanks to piratebay.org, uTorrent and of course Kim for finally ending my ignorance about this movie.

James Cameron really got me crying like a baby here. Kim and I were weeping and whining as if we were in the actual situation.

Since I don't know how to give a movie review, I'll just vent out my favorite highlights in the movie:

• The "You jump, I jump, remember?" line partnered with Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On is a splash of cold water on my face it got me crying so bad. I wished that kind of love existed. Just like Kim said "Sana yung you jump, I jump story nangyayari in real life, hindi puro I jump na lang.." 

• And who could ever forget the epic scene when Jack and Rose first kissed at the edge of the ship after Rose saying "I'm flying, I'm flying.." It was the sweetest yet the weirdest thing I ever witnessed.

• I love Jack Dawson. Despite him being poor, he does everything for her girl to be safe. That's what I want in a man. ASSURANCE. SECURITY. PROTECTION.

• I admire the captain and engineer's nobleness. Taking all the blame and responsibility for all the lives lost even if it wasn't asked of them. Nobody wanted that to happen.

Titanic for me is the greatest tragedy ever written. Rose and Jack might have known each other for only a short span of time. But I guess it was enough for it to last 84 years. Or at least in the movies.

Too bad the love story is the only fictional part in the movie.

For the Love of Burgers and Milk Tea

My fetish for gourmet burgers started way before when I was in Grade School. This burger parlor along
Katipunan Avenue is one of the first gourmet burger stores in the Philippines even before the fad started.

We order the XXX burger which is 9 inches in diameter. (Php 325)

What I like about Bite Club burgers aside from the fact that it's huge is that the simplicity of it makes it unique from the others. But what's unique about their burgers is that the burger patty has a filling. I don't know how they do it but I'm glad they did! This particular burger has a mozarella cheese filling. The quality, freshness and the taste didn't change the first time I tried it.EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! Yay for gourmet burgers! :)

 Baby Enzo is really sleepy since it's past his bedtime already. But still chose to pose for the camera. What a cute/vain boy you are!

 Are we really magkamuka? :)

Father-Son bonding: SMELLING EACH OTHERS BAD BREATH.

So anyways, at the end of our midnight snack, what we had were happy tummies, satisfied cravings and of course damaged wallets. But hey! It's a good buy!

And for dessert I decided to try Chatime's Banana Series at Pioneer, Mandaluyong. (Php 80)

Serenitea still set the bar. #nobias

Cheers to the freakin' weekend!

So this is what happened...

Remember when your mom tells you to "Try to see the good in everything"? Well I don't. But it doesn't mean that I don't do it. I live by that principle.

When I said that I will learn how to get to RFM through all kinds of public transportation, I did! I kept my promise! So whatever happened to me being a Kindergarten for a week? (By kindergarten meaning, mom will make hatid-sundo.) Well. You know "unwanted circumstances" happen. And by unwanted meaning a hard slap on the face to start the morning. GREAT.



Anywaaaaayyyssss.... Back to the "trying to see the good in everything" part. This is what happened.

FIRST DAY

I was feeling anxious and at the same time happy. I kind of anticipated this day to come. Except for the commuting part. You know how I much I hate DESPISE commuting. But then again. I have no choice. I did myself a little favor. I took the cab going to the RFM. Hey! It's my first day and I don't have any idea how to get there! Luckily, engaging in a good conversation with manong driver brought me good. He taught me how to commute going to RFM. On the way home. I was totally LOST. I literally called my brother, crying, asking me to pick me up. But no luck. He was still at Pampanga that time. I had no choice but to take the cab. AGAIN. I spent almost 500 just for the fare. That's like a 200% damage on my allowance.

Trying to see the good in everything. *nods*

SECOND DAY

Testing my luck. I tried what manong driver said to me the previous day. I followed everything he said. Everything was fine at first. It's just that the hassle of riding a jeep is not so tolerable at all. On the way home, I didn't know that the jeepney ride ends at Mendiola. I was playing cool so as to not draw attention but at the back of my head I was like WHAT. THE. FUCK. I don't have any money left. I was texting my kuya but the bastard wasn't replying. I had no choice but to walk ALL THE WAY FROM MENDIOLA TO MY PAD. I couldn't help but cry. When I got home, I saw kuya SLEEPING. I intentionally dropped my bag hard so as to wake him up. He saw me and asked me why I texted. I ignored him. But when he saw me crying he was like "Anong nangyari sayo? Sabihin mo anong nangyari!" I shouted back "NAGLAKAD AKO MULA MENDIOLA HANGGANG DITO!" Then he asked calmly "E bakit ka umiiyak?" I snapped. "E KASI PAGOD NA PAGOD NA AKO!!" A short silence made everything awkward. I can tell that he got guilty. Then I cried harder.



Trying to see the good in everything. *nods*

THIRD DAY


Today, I tried riding an FX. I ended up getting in the wrong FX. AGAIN. FOR THE NTH TIME. I GOT LOST. HA! But at least I'm learning. I have to walk all the way from One San Miguel to RFM. It was a good exercise though so I didn't mind walking. When I got to the 3rd floor, everybody in the office was chaotic. Apparently, a meeting with the head was about to take place. Which means. FREE LUNCH. FREE MERIENDA. LAZY ASS MODE ON. I was very eager to finish all the tasks assigned so I could slack off. And luckily, I got victorious. :) On the way home, as soon as I reached the terminal, an FX passed by. Just my luck. And today, I got more than enough money to suffice for my fare. :) At least the "trying to see the good in everything" part paid off. :)

Tomorrow, I'm planning to take the train. So yeah. Good luck to me! Hope I break the "losing" streak. :)

EXPLICIT

I hate commuting and everything that goes with it. The pollution. The heat. The "bayad-makikiabot-po" system. I HATE IT. HATE IT. HATE IT!!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS! Not to mention the uneducated perverts scattered all over the place. FUCK. Go fuck a dog or something fugly person!

My apologies for this post is a little bit explicit. (Or maybe it is explicit at all?)

Today was the first day of my internship at RFM. Tasks were assigned but most of the time I was just staring at the wall. YES. That's what I do. I am the only intern they hired. I'm not really sure if I should be flattered about it but really, I am not happy with it. I had to eat lunch alone. Had to scan magazines most of the time. And if I'm done with it, I'll flip the pages over and over and over again. Boredom just murdered me a while ago.

This sucks. But still, I'm hoping that the next days will be better. Please. Let it be. Please.

Morning Disappointments.

I love how morning disappointments have consolations. :)

Hahaha! Ron Javier tweetpic-ed (is there such a term?) me this photo and it got me all giddy and happy. Of course I know it's just bola and it's not true. But it got me victorious for a moment there. :)

Thank you boys for the consolation! :)
