my first straight cut jeans since high school....

i remember buying my first elephant pants 2000, after that my taste matured and i switched to bellbottoms. I have a lot of bellbottoms, light jeans, dark jeans, slacks, i still have a few elephant pants (now called square), and i vowed never to wear straight cut/bootleg/all those other variations again.

and hell get me away from skinny jeans. >_<. i wouldn't touch those unless you paid me.

so, on a usual sunday, i was looking around at powerplant, came across a jeans sale, 50% slashed down from it's original price.

i saw a pair of nice looking jeans. bootleg methinks. it has creases and fade outs on the inner thigh area. it looks nice and it's 50% cheaper than your usual pair.

i tried it on...it looks okay...so i bought it... nuff said.

that's what i get for assuming too much, i'm not eating my own words :))

greenhills, tiendesitas

saturday, the little boy and i decided to go to greenhills to get the R4 card for amida. we met at v.mapa. hitched on a bus, and got down near tempura/razons of guagua to virramall.

my things have changed. i always remembered virramall is this old, dready, and in-shambles mall, now it can rival greenbelt. the crowd is still pretty much the same, i can't really play at ease while my bag is just in between me and the machine while the crowd watched. and i feel wary. but nevertheless it has a lot of things that i want.... like the r4 for example at the cheap price :)
First stop, the infamous celtex for my ds lite needs, damn being there was like a kid in a candy store. it was nice to drool at technology. even if they're too expensive to buy. you just keep wanting themhere's me asking what other accessories to they have... i look pretty thin here. which is a downright lie since i'm been getting fatter...

i got the r4 for 2k, and that left us the rest of the morning for lunch and the rest of the afternoon to do whatever we want...
Lunch was at a new restaurant...Tender Bob's which was great, I was craving for steak...
first off, mushroom soup. this soup rival's kulinarya's exotic mushroom, a rich hearty soup of blended mushrooms, tasty.
next was chicken fingers, we both commented on american food being a bit bland and everything was on the dipping sauce...

this is the little boy's lunch. i have sampled it, the presentation is good, but the burger was kind of bland for my taste. so far, nobody tops burgoo's burger steak :D their serving of rice is a lot. which can get you really full afterwards.
this is my lunch, rib eye steak with mashed potato on the side :)

after that we went to the new virramall for a while, looked at the gadgets fawned over the ragnarok model set, looked at laptops, went to the bookstore... wanted to hitch the 2pm shuttle to tiendesitas but wasn't lucky enough to catch the trip, so we walked around some more before catching the 3pm shuttle. :)

me looking at books...
when we got to tiendesitas we headed straight for the animal section...i wanted to look at the pets, and to my delight, they have cats

i love dogs, don't get me wrong, but there is something about cats that tug me :P it could be their sleek, powerful, and almost bitchy nature, but their ability to be so sweet, alluring and gentle won me.

remember this picture...i couldn't get over it...
this was a cross breed of a champion ragdoll/ragmuffin. It's called a ragdoll because they tend to go limp when you hold it like this little feller. this guy has blue eyes and markings on its feet,ears and the nose. 3 months old and is probably the most adorable and sweetest cat ive known, when i walked in the store and raised its paws high up from inside the cage and in my leg as if saying hey, come play with me.
i was looking at him and he glanced back in those adorable eyes. and i couldn't say no, i wanted to rob a bank right then and there just to take it home, cuddle it and just take care of it...but i was the only cat lover in the family, and i don't like it getting harrassed the same way as i am currently in this house. it was 10k, cage and everything. a purebred too....

but when i go back to the thought of it being unloved here...i think i made the right decision...don't want him going through the same shitholes as i am right now...

it was just 5 minutes, but i love him all the same...

after that we had a water break and went back to greenhills to have a snack (tacoes for me, siomai for him) and headed home...
water person model

is it possible...?

i guess it's possible to fall in love at first sight, you had me at hello...how can i resist your blue eyes...when they looked at me...in trust. you let me hold you and you didn't go away...

i wish i can take you home...you beautiful thing...

too bad, i can only be with you in that moment until the moment is gone...

it was only 5 minutes, but i love it already...i love it too much...that i am here in tears for not having him....

life is unfair ...

Cupcakes by sonja

tasty, sinful, expensive cupcake goodness

since i was being an ass and i accidentally pressed the back button (believe me confirmation ok/cancel never works on a laptop where your palms are pressed near the trackpad and you can mistakenly pressed the enter key when all you wanted was a new line, you get a whole new black entry. w00t

anyway, back to my story, i went yesterday to sonja's to bring cupcakes home to my family since i had a good review of their lemon drop cupcake from my adventure here. the little boy and i had a short snack there. Belgian Cocoa Cupcake in Cream Cheese frosting for me and a vanilla cupcake smothered in chocolate frosting.

since most of the pics are with ben, here are mine when i got home.

sonja's cupcakes come in ingenius boxes with cut out holes to snugly place the cupcakes safely for a car trip to avoid toppling them and getting the frosting everywhere.
Cupcakes anybody?
Top left: berry almond cupcake with strawberries topped generously in whipped cream
Top middle: strawberry cheesecake cupcake (a sinful treat)
Top right: chocolate cupcake in chocolate frosting (overload)
Bottom left: chocolate cupcake in mocha frosting
Bottom middle:carrot cupcake in cream cheese frosting
Bottom right: vanilla cupcake in lemon frosting (won me over)

mocha cupcake up close
chocolate cupcake upclose
i am not a cheese cake fan, but i do am a strawberry fan. and this little cupcake that is cream cheese filled with a gooey graham crust was a winner.this plain little one is one of my favorites....the cupcake was so soft that it melts in your mouth and the tangy lemon frosting was a perfect mix to it. you can't help but get frosting on your nose while you eat it...

well, part 2 soon...

forgotten chinese christmas

here we go again with the forgotten posts... saturday was spent getting fat (again) at circles, makati shangrila. i could never get enough of their buffet. and yes, i cannot eat everything in a go, but i have already have a tradition to go through the following order : soup first, together with japanese sushi, chinese dimsum next, and the main course with i usually go for the prime rib and prawns. then a sampling of dessert. somtimes i go get a pizza or a pasta but it gets you so full easily. plus, you have to stick to the expensive food (like the beef and the prawns and the other stuff that i don't really eat).

circles: chinese food area

our table at cirlces

anyway here are some of the mouth-watering pics from the foodtrip...(thank god for the 512MB CF card, i have no regrets whatsoever buying that, even if i got countless of suspicious from parental units.)

round 0: fight! *ding* (wonton soup)
round 1: fight! *ding* (sushi plate)

maki up close, colorful.

cold soba noodles, a regular treat
dimsum plate: cropped
(and the fact that the dimsum was brutally murdered by the people)
dimsum plate 2: not cropped
my messy buffet plate. i couldn't fix it right since i had a line behind me all hungry,
waiting for food and might be ready to kill

anyway, it was fun. it was nice to have an excuse to make yourself look good, since i don't like fussing up at all. usually i look pretty drab. So, i like moments where i can look good and get away with it without anybody suspiciously asking if i have a date or anything. :P

yes, i know i'm vain...so what? :P

saving myself from unprofessionalism (for now)

yep, this is what i have been poring over the PSP lately. (actually for a whole day yesterday). its a mixing simulation where you are the dj and you spin the notes and make the music sound better or crappy depending on how you press the keys. You can go from drab to fab and unlock songs and gears...

so far I have completed around 15 sounds with Ray Illuminati, Oblivion, and Oblivion Rockin' night style certain favorites...

meanwhile, i'm off to my break

Tarot Meme

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

long ago vday update - part 2

so, after the lunch and cupcake (which i ate along the way to the medical clinic). I walked to salcedo, timed in 2:55 went in got my stub, got my urine cup, got out 3:05 and started to walk to greenbelt.

i felt like a tourist, armed with a camera and my funkier clothing. (leather choker with spikes, a black ace card tank top over a white collared shirt, a red and black checkered tie, bellbottom jeans and my converse chucks).

v.a. rufino to greenbelt ho! via the walkway (i think)
v.a. rufino street

paseo de roxas to greenbelt ho! walkway

so, after the walk, I got down here and walked to familiar flower shop to buy a gift for a special little boy.

i walked in and i was greeted with red roses everywher ein boquets, in tubs filled with water, mums all around and exotic flowers and what nots.

so after picking a long stem pink rose that is still tightly budded, i took a few pictures...these two coming out the best.

i have a rose,
more beautiful than any other rose

pink mums

i got to greenbelt, walked around looking for a present, warked to park square 2 and back to greenbelt's fish and co. to reserve seats, and back to music 1, where i bought this album by the stereophonics. and it's currently on repeat on my car. they're awesome.
the little boy and i met and i gave him my presents (the rose and the SE earphones). We went to fish & co. to start our dinner.
