Rejuvenate

Our Boracay trip was not exactly spent sunbathing or reading books. But it was a welcome respite from my hectic life here in the city.

But now, a week after the trip, I must snap back to reality and focus on matters that are important. Thesis thesis thesis and thesis.

Paraws

I already miss Boracay. Truly a paradise.

Baby

Okay, everyone's been raving about David Cook's performance of "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey on American Idol a couple of nights ago. And I'm joining the bandwagon.

I don't normally blog about American Idol performances but this is by far my favorite performance this season. Instant LSS and it gave me the chills.

I still don't like his personality, but he keeps on delivering great performances each week.

Diet another day

I've been eating a lot the past few days - the past few days where I should have been starving to death. I can't help it though. Went out with my friends whom I haven't hung out in three months, and my cousin arrived from the States.

Why I love WikiMapia

I finally was able to commute to Greenhills by my own. Okay, I had help by asking my friend to alert me when we are at Recto so I could alight the FX. Sorry, I still don't recognize Recto. They all look the same to me. But I digress.

It has been a habit of mine to "review" my travel by looking the route the public transportation took on a map. And I found myself on WikiMapia. While tracing the route, I came across several comments that really cracked me up. Here are some gems:

Survivor

GMA 7 is doing the local franchise of Survivor? Why?! I love(d) Survivor, and I don't know if GMA 7 could live up to the standards and production quality of the original US series. I really don't want to see another Philippines' Next Top Model.

Finally

American Idol contestants sang songs that I actually like and listen to on a regular basis. Well not all of the songs but a couple - Angels by Robbie Williams and Innocent by Our Lady Peace. Finally!

Halo-halo overload

In less than an hour, I devoured two highly-touted halo-halos. A lot of people swear by Razon's and Icebergs' halo-halos. I really really like Razon's version, but the one I had today left me underwhelmed. Quality is not what it used to be, or probably because they had dozens of customers today.

Icebergs' Super Halo-halo is pure hype to me. I'd rather prefer Chowking's version. Should've ordered their milkshake or banana split instead.

Dad's steak

The only reason why I love Monday nights is because I get to eat my dad's steak.

With honors

No, not me. But my friend is. She's graduating cum laude at the State University. I'm so proud of her. I can't wait til everything is done and I'll be graduating as well.

Papaya

Call me late, but I never knew that the Papaya Dance was a dance "craze" here. Is that how disconnected I am with the world?

Rage

I really feel the need to beat the hell out of this person. No, I don't know him but I have talked, err exchanged messages, with him.

Selfish asshole.

In related news, I could feel that our thesis adviser is exasperated with our group. The pressure is building up, definitely. This thesis is slowly turning from alright to bad.
