Beatin' the Heat

Hey guys. Lately I've been lacking in sleep. As many as you know, I'm kinda suffering from insomnia. I only get like 3-5 hours of sleep everyday except weekend. Since I got all the time in the world over the weekend, I make sure that I get enough sleep to make up for the loss. But I am not here to talk about my sleepless days.

 Since I'm a girl. Ah. Yes, I think I am one. Haha! Not many know what I am into boys stuff, like shoes, games, what else? Comic book and sports too. One of my all time favorites is basketball. And talk about it, I remember back when I was in college (Damn. Did I really have to sound that old? Haha!) (it's just a couple of year back actually) I got really, really into basketball that, there ain't a day passing by that I do not watch it. And I use to gamble some bets with my friends for call and text phone cards or like money, it depends on what I don't have tho. Haha! Yes, yes. NBA was a really nice source of income too. My favorite team back then was the Detroit Pistons.

 Rasheed Wallace, Richard "Rip"  Hamilton, Ben "Big Ben" Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Tayshaun Prince and the unknown by me coach. Haha! But he sure lead the whole team to win this 2K03-04 Champ Cup

And damn they were one sick team I tell you! I don't know much about basketball tho but it sure is fun to watch. I personally liked the players themselves. Each player has this really amazing tight game, its like; they are playing for themselves but united, you get me? Okay, good. Less explaining to do. Haha! I don't know what's up with Kobe, Wade and James are up to back then but for me, they suck. Haha! Just kidding guys.

For sure, ya'll know what happened today in NBA history right? The Heat was really hoping for their 28 straight win but the Bulls got in the way. Like I was saying, I'm not much of a baller but reading history fact helps me a lot. I just learned that Lakers made an awesome 33 wins in a steak back in 1971-72 and I think that Heat was hoping but nooo.. Bulls said that they are too early to be a part of the hall of fame. Hahaha!

Tho, I didn't get to see the game ('coz I was watching the Wiz and Okc) I'm sure it was pretty epic. I actually learned the lost in facebook. When one of my colleague's son posted something like "Cry now Miami fans". After reading, others started posting too.

It was juts funny tho. The picture I mean. Heat's a pretty strong team but I never thought that they'd be "easily" beaten down by the Bulls, knowing that they played without their power house players, like Joakim Noah, Richard Hamilton and Marco Belinelli. And as we all know; Bulls' star guard, Derek Rose has yet to play since he's still in the process of recovering from his knee injury.

Damn. Now, I can't wait for the play offs. I hope DRose's back by then. And of course I want to see how mean these guys play in the hard court. Survivor of the fittest.  I won't be rooting for any teams until I see the quarter finals. Haha! This is really exciting!

What's your bet guys? Will Miami Heat still be this year's Champ? Or there'll be a new one. Hmmm... This really thrills me to the core. Haha!

Thank for swingin' by again!

Laters, baby! ^^

Oh? Rawr!!

Hey guys! Yes, yes, I am so sorry, I've been m.i.a'ing again. Haha! So how are you? I'm kinda stressed out and worried about my so far away Gram. Her daughter said that she was rushed in the hospital again. Sigh. Sometime it's just hard not to worry about old people, when they still think that their youth pars with kids these days. Geez.. So anyway, I'm not here to talk about my personal dramas. I'm here to share about my weekend heart break. Haha! Seriously, I was broken hearted over the weekend.

I may not look that sporty at all but I do love sports. For all you know I've played basketball, tennis, badminton, soccer and what so ever one way or another. There's this new sport that's really booming and it kinda drive people really crazy 'cause of the thrill the get. I'm pretty sure you know MMA or Mix Martial Arts.

I'm pretty sure ya'll know about what MMA is. I really like the MMA thrill, it's the best of all the martial arts world, it's a full on hand to hand combat sport where in you can use any kind of technique to kick your opponent's ass down. Actually, MMA's starting to get big here in the Philippines but I think it's still kinda indie underground sport like. I don't really know much fighters here too. And I'm not much of a fan too, the fight's cool but when the blood starts dripping that's when I skedaddle. I don't like blood! It scares the crap in me. Hemophobia? Well, not to the extent tho. I just don't like seeing people covered in blood. Eww. Totally disgusting! So anyway, tho I'm not much of a MMA fa, I just like the fighter named Mark Muñoz.

Oh c'mon now! Doesn't he looks so heavenly?! Haha! Yeah, he's my favorite MMA fighter. He too is a Filipino but he grew up in the States. Like I said, he's Mark Muñoz or better knows as "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" now, that's a badass name right there! He was here in the Philippines last weekend for the UFC tour but I wasn't able to see him. So I was pretty broken hearted.

 Yes,  I supported him because he's a brother from another mother. I also like his passion for the Philippines, tho he grew up in a different country, he still chose to give pride to a place where he's not very familiar.

So yeah last weekend, I wasn't able to see him in person that made me real sad. Honestly, I've only seen him fight in documentaries so I was really excited to know that he's coming by there but yeah sad to say I didn't win passes to see him. BUT! Yes, the amazing but; there are rumors that he'll be figthing here for the Pinoy fans to see him. I would really want him to see fight. I'm going to look forward for that.

Hmmm... Seeing all this makes me feel like hitting the gym for some hand to hand muay thai combat. Haha! Uraaaaa!!! (sounds weird? eh?! that's how anime fight scene would sound.)

 

I did some shopping over the weekend too, to move on from the heartache. Haha! I've write something about my weekend shopping pretty soon. What about you guys, what happened over your weekend? I hope you too had a nice weekend.

 

I'm out. Forever, THANK YOU! :)

Weekend Whatever

Hi guys! Today's the last day of my weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary happened tho. But it was still fun. Let me start by Saturday. Usually, my Saturdays are spent lazying around but this time I never had the luxury to do so. My two sister were out, my nephew came to kinda "ruin" my weekend. I'm not much a kid lover specially if they're still in their todd years. I mean, they're just like hurricanes! It was real cray!

Later that day, I dragged my lazy ass to the mall to meet an office mate, I promised to bring her to this real awesome Korean Restaurant. And you know how much I love Korean dishes.

We had Samgyeopsal party. Hmm... FYI, Samgyeopsal is grilled pork belly wrapped in lettuce, inside together with the grilled meat, you can put grilled garlic, Korean paste (idk what its called but it's kinda salty), I like mine with Kimchi and a little sesame oil with salt and pepper. 

My little brother Nikko, Leslie, our samgyeopsal and of course, yours truly :)

We were so stuffed! I said, it's like the very first time that I was really full in my entire like. Not to exaggerate but since I got my braces on, I kinda "lost" the love for eating. Since we were so damn stuffed me and my brother decided to loose some meal weight and walk our way home, since it was quite near the house. And I ended my weekend with some movies.

I enjoyed this movie. While watching it, I remembered the thrill I always get when playing Left 4 Dead. Haha!

Sunday came, I woke up pretty early 'cause my mom asked to go visit her sister but to my surprise, she was not there. So my trip was cancelled. Gram called in, said to visit her instead, so I did. Home bound and feeling all lazy, I just fired up the mean machine to watch some anime. After an hour or so, Gram asked if we could go out for a walk. While walking, we decided to grab a couple of milk teas.

Beat the heat! Tea time with Ma :)

Actually, I ended my Sunday writing this entry but I ran out of words; so I just finish it now. Haha!
Anyway so, that's how I spent my last weekend for the Love month before the summer really kicks in. Hmm.. Summer eh? Okay, let's talk about that some other time. :D

BIG THANKS YA'LL!

Weekend: The Big Bong Theory

Hey guys! 'Sup? I'm well, thanks. Half-way to February eh? I love this month. Well, not because it's the "love" month. It's just that a lot of the people I cherish are celebrating their birthdays this time of the year. So over the weekend, namely Saturday, me and my girls attended a friend's birthday party. Well, nothing much happened while we're there. We just had dinner and we sang throughout the night. But it sure was a fun night.

And just so you know, I really love drinking with my friends. Its like my other way of enjoying my moment with them. But my night didn't end there for nothing. My other friend, Michelle, her cousin, Aaron is celebrating his birthday too that night. He's party was my after party. You get me? Haha! The night was young and there are a lot of people when we arrived home too.

But we we're kinda shy at first so we just stayed inside the house until we were called tho. We rollin' like some VIP waiting to be introduced in a flashy way. Haha! kidding side, 'cause these are people that we haven't seen before. They we're Aaron's college friends. Aaron is five years older than I am and so was his friends. At first, I kinda hesitated 'cause the are serving beer. It's not that I am being picky but I just don't feel like drinking beer AT ALL. But the night goes deeper and deeper and the noise was getting louder and louder than the suddenly brought out the BONG.

I'm pretty sure you've tried this once in your life. Honestly, that night was the first time I've seen such a thing. And thrilled started to eat me. I went out and joined the party. Finally. I started with a bottle of Red Horse. Here in the Philippines, Red Horse is one of the popular drinks, it's rather strong head on. I know myself well enough, I can't take beer head on but I can get down with others. Haha! Screw that! I'm picky with my drinks! 

Okay, okay! Enough with all the talking, here are some of the pictures of that night. :)

This is my first time doind this. Sorry, the picture was blurry.

Happy birthday Aaron! (He's the one in green.)

The bong was the sole reason why I wanted to join the fun. Haha! Like I said, I'm not much of a beer drinker. I just got thrilled when I saw a silhouette of them doing it and decided to crash in. Not bragging or what but my friend said that I downed the whole bottle of beer in just 17 seconds. Haha! I was amazed myself too. And everybody was cheering like they know me. Actually the funny part, I was about to try the my second round, (third of them) I felt suddenly nervous. Just out of the blue, I was really nervous. Haha! But I twas a nice experience.

Second Round! And a more clearer shot too!

I know my birthday doesn't fall until June comes but I am starting to get  these wild ideas to do on my day. Haha! 'Cause last year, I did jello shot and now, I'm thinking of doing some Jägerbomb and Beer pong and this Beer Bong too.

 Hey! Do you still know anything thrilling that I can try on my birthday? Please help me. Hahaha!

I just love drinking with my friends. Everyday life is really stressing so I gotta let loose sometimes. :) But, please do drink moderately.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ChocoLove

Yesterday was Valentine's day. And I never thought that I'd be receiving a handful of chocolates! I felt really mushy and felt really special. Why felt special you ask? Well, it's just that I'm not quite the friendliest person around here and I barely get to talk to others so, I was really overwhelmed. Haha!

I'm not much of a chocolate lover too, so I'm kinda troubled how to eat everything. Haha! I hope the expiry date would last forever so I can consume them when I feel like too.

What did you get? How was the day? Share a story. :)

Thanks again!

Hello? Telephone?

Hi guys! Happy Heart's Day to one and all! How's your day so far? Mine's just great, I mean; it's really awesome! Chocolate over load! Kyaaaaaa!!! XD Haha! I'm not much a chocolate fan ( but dark chocolate's another story tho *wink :D ) but this is the day when you get to receive all the "lovely" chocolates from almost everyone. Known brands, local brand just ANY!

Okay, before this choco locco gets any crazier, I'd like to share a story. I don't usually celebrate valentine's day 'cause I always end up being in a solo state. But I remember back when I was in high school, there was one valentine's day that I was with a guy; I mean, I was in a relationship then but were didn't really celebrate it. We were just bunch of kids then, we were just together like our usual thing, we skated (yeah, back in the day, I was skating) around the place and that's it. Sounds boring? Well, I can't say that really 'cause all I remember was the fun, hanging out with someone really special to you.

Okay, enough with a flash back! Late last night I sent a self made quote out to my friends to greet this day and one replied. Better yet, "HE" called. This guy's a college friend, whom I met through other friends. I kinda like this guy, he has this really cute chinky eyes, a real person and he's so hilarious too! But there never was a chance for us to be together, fine with me tho. Friends? So be it. :)

It was the first time that he contacted me in ages! We talked about random stuff, from cartoons to shoes to movies, drinking parties, our old friends, his place, my place to some serious things like law and politics. We were one the phone 'til 4 in the morning and he has to get up at 6 to go to work.

I too phoned him at 6 in the morning 'cause he asked me to wake him up. We were like a legit couple! How cool is that?! Haha!

I don't really remember the last time I spent so much time on the phone talking about "non-sense". For me, it felt like the world stopped and it let us enjoy ourselves. I felt like some high school that was sooo in love. Hahaha! Anyway, I was just nice to talk to a "long lost" friend again.

And if ever I fall in love, I hope it's him. Wow! Haha! Just kidding! XD

What about you guys? How did your valentine's day go?

"Roses are red, Violet's are blue.

If you kiss me,

I will kiss you back too."

Usui Takumi and Ayuzawa Misaki from Kaichou wa Maid-Sama

 My favorite anime couple. ^^  Don't they just look super cute together?

Happy Valentine's again!

November babies we're made thanks to this day! Watch out! Haha!  Enjoy the day! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Holiday

Hi guys! Kung Hei Fat Choi or Gong Xi Fa Cai whatever you call it! Haha! Chinese New Year was celebrated yesterday. Year of the Water Snake. I was boring in the Year of the Snake too but whatever, all I know is that, this year will be another awesome one. And yesterday, I got my hair done too. :)

Nothing much to tell you about it, I just want to treat myself with something. Oh? Though cannot see it very clearly, I took all the liberty to dye my hair red as well. Haha! Red has been my comfort color. So how is it? :)

Thanks for dropping by again! I wish you all the prosperity for this year!
