September Ender

Pardon me for this post. I'm just gonna squeeze it in to round up my total posts to 20 for the month of September. I got 6 posts on my first month and 14 on my second. Twenty for the third is not at all a bad growth, is it?

It's Octoberfest tomorrow! Oh, yeah!

Wikipedia says:

The Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September and early October. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year.

We, Filipinos, Octoberfest harder dito sa Pinas!

Weekend Apps Change

So, after days of trying to fix my USB problem, I decided to reformat my Windows XP partition when the same problem plagued my other new USB. The new USB was given another life. Saved. And cheers to the old for it will probably end up in the dusty corners of the already dusty and useless side of the room. Bringing the "write-protect" problem along.

Because Globe and Smart Bro was decent enough to turn me off from subscribing to their services because I live in a boardinghouse, I made a trip to the fastest cheapest internet cafe' in town(infront of Hotel Sogo Cebu) to download new stuff for my Windows Vista older brother.


...with Adobe Photoshop, I'm on!

Poultry Rocks

Most fowls always taste like fowl. This fowl though tasted like Koreans. It's Korean-style fowl cooking you get for 75Php at Ayala Food Choices. How many times have I eaten this sizzling plate? Couldn't count. Ever seen a Korean eating it? Haven't.


Koreans love Pinoy's Adobo!!!

The Weekend is a Landfill

Going provincial on a weekend wasn't as enjoyable as when I was 17. The establishments I used to hangout were either burnt, which was a businessman tactic in Dumaguete city, or closed. This "loyalty" factor in Oriental Negros' consumers are a businessman's pain-in-the-ass that they would opt to burning so they could introduce new "stuff" when Negrenses forget to remember the ashes of how they used to live. Get this, Milkmaid, long after it was scrapped in other markets was still being distributed in the island. If you are a businessman with Judy Ann Santos in mind to market your new evaporada, how would you wanna bury the old stuff? And, no, giving out free samples doesn't work here.

I stayed home and crunch the weekend away with television. Cable tv here doestn't have the expensive channel blockade yet so browsing was still enjoyable.

Channel MYX: Playing in MYX Live was Pupil, the already very melodic band fronted by former Eraserheads main-man Ely Buendia. Wow! The new album definitely sounded cool. With band members shifting duties on the vocals and the music is just very steady with riffs flying over the room "owned" by The Dawn's vocalist Jet Pangan. I could even hear some Mars Volta-ish intro in one of the songs but that's just so far away genre-wise. But who knows...

Channel MTV: Parokya Ni Edgar was captured by the poorly-moving cameras of MTV Sessions. In fairness to the band, who after 13 years of playing still seems to be enjoying what they do best - play live and say funny things. But, to say the truth, I'm more on the old trippings of PNE. OH YEAH! Celebrity Deathmatch of talkshow hosts. Tina Fey! Tina Fey! Tina Fey!

Channel ETC: Saturday Night Live is always my favorite TV. A television is not a television without it.

Channel Pentagon Channel: The Home of the Brave, eh? When advertising in arms business is stale, this is where you get the catalogue. Bin Laden is sure watching.

Channel Solar: FIBA Europe playing via satellite. Spain's Gasol making easy turnovers. Great. Loyalty check, coachy!

Channel Movie Channels(HBO, Cinemax, etc.): Anne Hathaway on Ella Enchanted! Hard on! Hard on! Hard on! No!

Get out, Chicken Farters!

Tootsie and I picked up one of this really thin pizza from this oh-so-very-expensive franchise from somewhere and a whole fried chicken to fill up our oh-so-picky digestive bags just so a birthday would feel like a happy birthday.

Everything went well until the sleeping minutes when you have to do this lip touching thingy. Seconds before that I shoot one silent "butt air". That air-conditioned the room pretty fast. The whole four corners of the room smelled like how a butt air should smell but not to my sleepy partner.

*Mwuah*

You farted and it's chicken!

Treading on Tender Feet

I'm torn. That's the ick-iest post opener I could coin after all the decisions I've made lately. The decision to work on OUR school project alone(doing everything), commit to a job offer and indecision to find a new boarding house(still no word from Globe about my Plan 999, must be the location, should be). These are major things that could alter my universe if I happen to pick poorly.

Body check: Everything's fine except for some muscle spasms due to my intolerance to moving air - electric fan.

This was the fruit

I don't know but I could only remember once that I've eaten the fruit Macopa - Google or Wiki it if it's not how you call it in your place. I can't even recall how I got it dunked into my Colgate fresh mouth. It's that mango tasting and colored like the photographed fruit on the left. But what I'm holding on the photo is not that fruit. It's that fruit that I named the other fruit after.

Yesterday, my God's gift, so they call it somewhere, brought in one of this fruit from her boss who came from Davao. I know I've seen this fruit sold in the streets of Cebu but, no offense to mother nature, it never tickled my salivary glands in anyway. I'm never a fruit person. Some fruits I enjoy are lychee and mango and that's it. Well, in fairness to mother nature, this fruit tasted like I might be walking the streets of Cebu looking for one, but, probably not. No. Because by then I would find myself in the nearest Thirsty franchise queueing for a 29Php fruit shake - that'd be lychee, yes!

This post is just to help me to remember that that MANGOsteen I know is actually Macopa. Just because it tasted like mango!!!!
