Swallowing eel bone hurts like f*ck

Sunday, the usual rituals. Mass. And my aunt who had a surprise birthday bash last night at Alex the III at Wilson, San Juan, invited us over to have a birthday lunch at their place at Wilson.

The food was yummy take-out from Gloria Maris. Tossed Long Life Noodles (misua), Hot shrimp salad, salt and pepper spareribs, leftover Oxtongue in mushroom sauce, Sauteed Broccoli and Baby Corn, and the not-so-yummy eel.

I'm not a big fan of eel, in fact eating one earlier was a torture. I swallowed the eel bone by mistake, which is like the soft white bone of the chicken, and it took a long time going down to my stomach. which i hope was digested already, or i'll probably be admitted to the hospital for another unecessary operation u_U

we headed over to powerplant i don't really know why. I was already tired, but lo and behold they were having a sale. This was my Haul for today. (Separate pictures at the bottom)



Books from Fully Booked
Books for sale appeal to me like my sister or my mom with mango/zara having a sale. I got 3 new books.
Grimm's Grimmest Tales - The Grimm Brothers
Beijing Doll - Chun Sue
and Fearless FBI Book 2 - Francine Pascal
Wallet from Girbaud
My wallet is already bursting at the seams...I needed a new one since I noticed I carry too many cards / papers for my own good.


Laptop Sock for Wilson
I saw a really cute laptop sock for my lappy Wilson, It's a dark army green with the words Web Site Story printed on the front.

Aside from watching the last ep on season 2, I never did try or never had the courage/effort to watch the series again. Although if its staring at my face maybe, I will...

These are one of those times I'm facing a dose of writer's block. Like a big dam was trying to keep hold all my words my thoughts and ideals.

Recently, I have seen the booklisters community and i must say it gave me second thoughts and even humbled my reading capabilities. When a certain Lj friend gave me thought regarding what books I loved/read that was published before the 1900s...my mind went blank. Aside from the Filipino classics Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo...I was shell-shocked to find none. You can say that modern writings fascinate me more, and I'm not very fond of the thee art thou although Macbeth seems like a nice read and Edgar Allan Poe seems fascinating.

I could now go on and continue Sun Tzi's The Art of War which I let my mom borrow for a while. And I have that 500php gift card for Fully Booked from my sister....which I will be looking for new books to read.
