Hodgepodge

1. I’m forever clueless on how much the padyak really costs. Sometimes its 8, other days its 10, but today it was 15. But I know that it’s overpriced–I just pity the man who swindled me for 5 pesos. I’m hoping he’ll put my 5 pesos into good use. But I’m also kinda hoping his wheels get stuck or that he fall off his bike. Or that he get a customer who’s so fat and heavy and paddle him/her along an uphill street.
2. Because I think I’ve let my brain disintegrate for the past 4 days, I walked in 3-inched stilleto heels under the scorching heat of the sun. So by the end of my brother’s graduation, I had 6 freakinnnn blisters!! Ballet and pointes are so so much better!
3. I vow not to eat shawarma within the year (and to drink coffee as well). I had chicken gyro for lunch and it was so huge, I couldn’t finish it. The pita bread was oozing with mayonnaise-thingie — I couldn’t stand it. And about the coffee, I had to spend one whole day (not really, about 7 hours) at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to study for Oblicon. I forgot about ordering decaffeinated coffee and I drank more than what I should. So no more coffee.
4. Congratulations to all graduates!! Clap clap clap.
5. My dog, a minpin, is so energetic (hyperactive actually) that he gets crazy over roaches. He barks at the middle of the night, thinking probably that it was still daytime, wanted to be let out of his cage in order to catch and kill roaches. And a while ago, he saw a cat, 1.5 times his size, seated under the car. He barked madly, like there was no tomorrow, and even had a head on collision with the big cat. Nothing’s wrong with that, but he really thinks that he’s a heavyweight ready to fight with anybody who’s obviously bigger than him.
6. There are A LOT OF MOVIES to watch next week!!! Looking for movie buddies… any applicants?? LOL.
That’s it pansit. I hope the weather becomes sunny and summer-y. Ciao!
How to spend my summer
Posted by: baabols on: April 22, 2009
Since all my exams are over, all I plan to do this summer is to be a bum and rest and do the things I want to do.
1. I might be reading the Family Code again and the Preliminary Chapters in our Civil Code because I didn’t get to understand back in first sem.
2. But other than that, I plan to do some fun reading as well. So I’ll be heading to the nearest bookstore to look for some good work.
3. I plan to watch Zac Efron’s 17 again. I hope somebody would want to watch a movie with me.
4. I have four scheduled outings this summer. Let’s hope the weather cooperates. Zambales, Batangas, maybe in Subic, and the other still unplanned.
5. I started watching old-school movies which I loved. I didn’t get to see “10 Things I hate about You” starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. When Heath still had that young, fresh vibe and Australian accent! It was an OK chick flick but I find the plot too blah.
6. Take care of my cute cute MinPin named RR ^_^
Boys Before Flowers

It’s such a lame name. But we know it as Meteor Garden here in the Philippines. It’s the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, a popular Japanese manga about a group of rich and powerful boys named F4 (Flower 4) and one feisty commoner girl who wins the heart of all the F4 members.
I think BBF has the best wardrobe and location settings among 3 adaptations of the manga. But the plot is more cohesive in Meteor Garden than in BBF. But BBF is not as melodrama as the Taiwanese or the Japanese version. And I find its F4 characters more a-okay.
This has been keeping me up all night. I’m a sucker for Koreanovelas. They have better plots than their other Asian counterparts.
Maybe

I should be studying. But I’m blogging. And I’m very much tempted to sign up and have a Facebook account. Which I’ll probably do over the holy week. I’ve long given up my Friendster page, since I found it less useful after having Multiply. But since everybody else is raving about the features of Facebook, I might as well join the bandwagon. For whatever its worth. After all, we could simply delete stuff (not really; I suppose they remain dormant in the World Wide Web, and not deleted).
Yet the funny thing is, these social network sites won’t really increase our “reach” because we become friends with the same people we know (at least this is true for me). Well unless, we’re into the more adventurous side of things, and actually start adding up people we don’t know, these sites could work.
Which reminds me of IT Crowd’s episode regarding Friendface.
Boohoo. The post ends here, so I must leave the computer and face reality.. my exam tomorrow =(

It’s really time to think of other things.
Other than you.
And these silly rhymes.

The test was a freakin’ game show. And I couldn’t even manage to complete any list. Haha, now I wonder, what will my interviewers ask me why I had such a low grade in legal profession…. “IHA, wala ka bang ethics?”
Too much texting is bad for you, really

Like a lovesick little puppy
Posted by: baabols on: March 17, 2009
Where the hell did I hear this line?
Ah. I remember.
I love puppies though. Because they’re too cute to be ignored. They’re adorable little creatures who are just as curious as little boys and girls of the world. They have big round eyes, small button noses and high-pitched barks. They melt your heart everytime you see them. BUT, when they grow up, they turn into wild beasts and scare the hell out of you. I don’t like them anymore when they turn into adult dogs, who bark, pee and excrete like there’s no tomorrow.

Oh, why such a divergent post?
I dunno. Maybe I’m like a lovesick little puppy. Or like a little puppy. Or like lovesick.

But fo sho, I’m really tired and bored at the same time. Must be the finals week taking over me.
Almost there.

Oh may gulay!!! Finals week is coming and I’m not yet ready. I think I’m gonna die because of the stress. The pressure is killing me. I hate myself for being so petix during the first couple of months this second sem. Haha. But we just have to accept it–LIFE is so effing HARD.
I need a breather. Something that is somewhat kind of wonderful. I want to be with stress-free persons who could make the last days of the sem easier!!
Big Bang Theory

I’m a big fan! And if you remember the episode where Sheldon talked about the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock as an alternative to rock-paper-scissors, I found its source. Apparently, it was already up in this site way back at least in 2005. The author provides a simple explanation as to why there should be 5 things to choose from:
I invented this game (with Karen Bryla) because it seems like when you know someone well enough, 75-80% of any Rock-Paper-Scissors games you play with that person end up in a tie. Well, here is a slight variation that reduces that probability. (Note that for those of you who like to swing your fist back and forth and say, “Rock, Paper, Scissors, GO!”, might want to continue to do that, replacing “Rock” with “One,” “Paper” with “Two,” and “Scissors” with “Three.”) This version is also nice because it satisfies the Law of Fives.
I’ve always wanted to try this game. But there are more permutations now, which would make the memorization task a little difficult. But I wonder how “fun” this will be.
