Naglunch ako with some sunny friends sa ebun sa greenbelt. Sarap ng food tapos mura pa. Medyo minadali namin ang pagkain dahil may isang mas mahalagang bagay kaming dapat gawin pagkatapos nun. Mahalaga daw. Lolz. Kasi pagkatapos ng lunch ay deretso kami sa Cafe Breton na kalapit lang din ng ebun para kumain ng iba’t ibang klaseng crepe.
Haha. Two days after the deadline of assignment no. 1, tsaka ko lang sya nai-submit. Ayus di ba? Dahil delayed ang submission ko, may 10% deduction ako. Sa graduate school kasi ang passing grade is 80%. So dahil may deduction nga ako, ang highest score ko na lang e 90%. Pero asa pa di ba? Ibig sabihin kasi nun e perfect ako sa paper na yun. E sa dating pa lang ng sinulat ko, baka mga 30% lang ang grade ko. Lolz. So, 20% lang ang final grade ko. Wahahaha.
Anyways, ok na yan. At least makakabalik na ako sa dati kong sarili. Na-miss ko kaya ang badminton kahapon dahil sa demit na assignment na to. Hay. Pero kagabi, naglaba pa ako ng sangkatutak na damit. Mas ok kasing gawin yon kesa gumawa ng paper. Haha.
Ok, uwi na ako. Pero kain muna ng masarap na dinner. Hehehe.
Kasama ko nga pala si Jason Mraz habang ginagawa ko ang assignment na to. Sarap pakinggan ng A Beautiful Mess.
May naghanap sa yahoo ng “handsome korean guys” at napadpad sila sa blog ko. LOL
Badminton leveling mamaya. So konting palo palo lang yun. Malamang walang sobrang pawis. Pagkatapos nun, may mga gagawin akong ka-shit-an sa buhay. May assignment akong kelangang gawin na deadline ay next week. Hay life. Tapos balak ko nang bumili ng washing machine ngayong weekend. Ayaw ko na kasing magpa-laundry. Mas ok maglaba ng ng sariling damit.
Basta ayaw ko ng weekend. Demit. Basta. Basta. Basta.
Body pain is killing me.
It’s not because of the three-hour badminton game last night. It’s bacause of the gym workout I had last Monday morning with a hyperactive trainer.
ng stock market… okay okay, stock market na naman. hahaha. tapos malamang e sobrang up ulit ngayon. syet dude. nakakahinayang. pero oks na yun. panalo naman e. pero sayang pa din. hehe. gahaman ang mokong. takte.
As I started with my day, I thought it would be just another boring Saturday. But I was wrong.
Though I got lots of school stuff to do, I found myself doing other things. Enjoyable things that is. Haha. At nine in the morning I was in an unknown gym trying to secure a membership. It took me less than ten minutes to close the deal. Then, I was off to Andok’s Manok for breakfast. Wahahaha. Sarap ng bistek tagalong dun. Pramis.
Then I took a cab (pedicab LOL) going to SM / Glorietta area. I bought some dress shirts and other stuff. Mukhang nagasgas nga ang credit card ko e. I spent 3 long hours in the mall because I had my pants altered. Tapos kasama na dun ang lunch.
Tapos tapos, may longsleeves sa Mossimo na WOW. Hahaha. But it goes with a very high price tag. Hindi practical e. Kaya, yun. Hintayin ko na lang birthday ko tapos yun ang hihingin kong gift. Hehe.
I got home a little past 1PM. Then I checked on my Facebook account. Dammit! Facebook is eating a big chunk of my time. After spending more than two hours searching and adding friends, I felt so tired and was dead to the world. I got up at around 6PM. Then it was Facebook time once again. Ugh!
I also had some productive activities, mind you. My place is now very VERY clean. Disinfected ang bawat sulok. Thanks to Domex. Hehehe.
Tapos nagluto din ako ng dinner. Yon nga lang. Hotdogs lang ang ulam. Hehe. Bukas, I will be cooking my famous adobo. Haha.
Mukhang boring pa din talaga ang araw. Gym na ako sa Monday and then badminton on Tuesday. Excited ang mokong. 
Ayus ang stocks a. Up kanina ng almost 1% tapos malamang e up ulit bukas nang mataas. Hehehe. Wala lang. Sobrang up din kasi ang US stocks e. Cool.
Ang hindi lang cool e katawan ko. Sakit ng buong katawan ko e. Dahil sa kahahabol ng shuttlecock kahapon. Pero malamang next week e hindi na sasakit kasi sanay na ulit.
Nagkayayaan kami kanina nina glenn, ron at renco na magkape. Nilibre ako ni glenn sa kadahilanang di ko na matandaan at wala na akong balak isipin pa. Basta ang mahalaga ay nalibre ako.
Ayun, hindi ako nagisip kung ano ang gusto kong inumin nung panahon na ‘yon. Dahil libre, hinayaan ko na sila ang bumili ng kahit ano. Ilang minuto ang nakaraan at dumating na ang mahiwagang inumin. Naisip ko ang Tsokolate eh at Tsokolate ah.
E kasi naman, napakalapot. Kung sulit at sulit lang din ang paguusapan, payag na ako na sulit nga. Pero hindi ako mahilig sa masyadong malasa at matamis na inumin. Ni hinidi nga ako naglalagay ng asukal sa kape, tsokolate o gatas e. Kaya ayun, hinaluan ko ng tubig para maging malabnaw kahit pano ay mabawasan ang tamis.
Pagkatapos nun, pakiramdam ko ay medyo nahilo ako. Hahaha. Tumatanda na nga ata ako. Baka nung mga panahong ‘yon at tumaas ang presyon ng dugo ko. Hehe. Tapos ang pula pula at ang init init ng tenga ko. Mukhang matatagalan na ulit bago ako bumalik sa tsokonut batirol.
Yon lang. Pasok na naman bukas. Mukhang ginaganahan akong magblog lately a. Pero ang mga assignment ko sa school e hindi ko man lang magawa. Hahaha.
Chapter 3 na nga pala ako sa The Appeal ni John Grisham. Wala lang. Haha.
It was raining hard when I left the condo. And as expected the floodwater along Pasong Tamo has risen significantly making it impossible for pedestrians to cross it without their (read: our) feet getting wet.
So in an effort to avoid the flood-stricken street the Makati government has failed to address for years, if not decades, I decided to ride a jeep going to Mantrade first and another one going to Ayala.
It’s not all negative though. I must admit that I prefer rainy days over sunny ones. The reason is that I perspire a lot when it’s hot. And I hate it when I’m dripping wet with my own sweat when I’m not actually exercising.
I got to the office at around eight. Pretty early I must say. I had a hearty meal at the foodpark but it wasn’t good enough to tame my appetite. I then bought something to munch on at Ministop.
—oo00-00oo—
I’m still wishing and hoping and praying to all the coding gods out there to shower me with some pretty neat and challenging assignments. But not TOO challenging though. Hahaha.
Andito ako sa bahay sa Lucena. Di makatulog. Dami ko kasing tulog maghapon e. Nasimulan ko ang tulog-baboy na ‘to sa bus pa lang. Ang totoo nyan ay ni hindi ko man lang nakita ang kahabaan ng SLEX nang umuwi ako. Kasi pagkasakay na pagakasakay ko pa lang ay parang naka sleep-mode na ang buo kong katawan. Ang problema lang e maniningil pa ang mamang konduktor. Kaya pinagpaliban ko muna ang aking pagtulog. Nang makapagbayad na ako, ayun, di ko na alam ang mga sumunod na pangyayari. Nagising na lang ako na nasa Batangas na kami. Astig di ba? Nalampasan ko ang traffic sa bicutan-alabang nang walang kamalay-malay.
Sarap lang pag nasa bahay kasi di ko kailangang magluto kung gusto kong kumain. At di ko din kailangang maghugas ng plato pagkatapos kumain. At syempre masarap ang ulam. Lutong bahay kasi.
Pero mas masaya kasi andun sina Boom at Gian. Nakakatuwa ‘tong mga pamangkin kong ’to. Ang sweet nila. Tapos si Gian e sobrang palatawa pa. Nakakatuwa. Dami na naman nilang pictures. Ako syempre ang taga-kuha. Di ko lang ma-post kasi nasa Makati ang data cable ko.
Tapos nung bandang hapon, natulog na naman ako. Baboy talaga. Kaya ayun, di pa din ako inaantok hanggang ngayon. Almost midnight na. Medyo nagutom pa ako kaninang mga alas onse kaya bumaba ako at kumain ng kanin at porkchop na niluto ni tatay kanina. Hehe. Tapos kumain pa ako ng saging pagkatapos. Adik talaga.
Nag-try din akong magbasa ng another Grisham novel – The Appeal. Natapos ko yong chapter 1 pero hindi ako inantok. Sumakit lang mata ko kasi di ko dala salamin ko e. Next time ko na lang ulit itutuloy.
Kaya ang last na pwedeng gawin e maginternet at magblog. Yong nauna kong draft e English, kaso mahihirapan akong tapusin kasi di na gumagana ang brain cells ko. Hahaha. Sobrang gabi na kasi. Kaya eto, kwentong kanto na lang. Hahaha.
Yun lang. Balik na namang Makati bukas. Hehe. Ciao!
Kakarating lang ng e-statement ko from Citibank. Tapos meron ba namang Php500 na late payment charge at almost Php20 na finance charge. Wag nilang i-reverse yan at ipapa-cancel ko ang magaling nilang credit card. Hehe. Balitaan ko kayo bukas sa mangyayari.
Aba, pang-grocery ko na yan a. Madaming madaming chicken wings na kaya yan. LOL.
I think it would be best not to.
Anyways, congratulations to Roger. And good job, Andy. It was indeed a superb match. I’m looking forward to the US Open.
Need to read some nerdy stuff. Gonna catch up on tons of reading. 
After attending the birthday party of Trek in Cavite, I caught a bus going back to Makati. As expected, the traffic was terrible. I was able to reach Ayala a little past eight.
While I was inside the bus I’d been thinking of a place where I could watch the Wimbledon Women’s Finals. Yeah, the Williams sisters again. National Sports Grill in Greenbelt came into my mind first.
So I walked briskly, thinking the championship match has already started. When I arrived at the said resto, I immediately asked one of the waiters the schedule of the match. He said he wasn’t sure but they have tuned-in to Star Sports awaiting the match.
I headed for the couch and was happily seated with the best view of the 6 x 5 ft. screen (I had to ask the crew the dimension of the screen so I can post it here. LOL).
Star Sports recapped the recent matches of the two finalists. With Venus having the more impressive run going to the finals.
And the match began.
Venus double faulted in her first game but was able to hold serve. Then, it was Serena’s turn to serve. She didn’t have a problem holding serve.
The sisters had a very impressive first set. Each holding serve until 6-6. But in the tie-break, Serena demolished her sister and pocketed the first set.
I just realized that I favored Venus. The moment Serena had her first mini-break, I was like “Oh Shit! Dammit!” Maybe because Venus is the defending champion and a place in the tennis history is at stake for her.
Then the second set started. During that time, I was trying to be positive and hoping that Venus would outplay her sister. But as the match progressed, Serena seemed to be getting better and better. Serena had three match points in the second set but Venus luckily saved all.
But on the fourth match point of Serena, Venus failed to save it. And the younger Williams took the Ladies’ crown.
I still admire Venus even though she has lost to her sister. She’s played a real good match. And another thing, she seldom shows her emotions. Even after being defeated in her favorite grand slam event, all you could get from her is a poker face (Lady Gaga, music please… Popopopopopopopoker face. LOL).
So congratulations to Serena. She did play a very nice game.
The next face off would be that of Federer and Roddick. As most of the tennis fanatics out there, I’m rooting for Fedex. Go Roger!!! I’m positive that you’ll break another record.
