My Blog

my mom, my dad, my elder brother and i went to the mall last wednesday after i checked out of my dorm to buy a gift for a debut we are to attend this sunday. It was past 2 and we haven’t had our lunch so we decided to dine at the SM Foodcourt before we start our gift hunt.

I ordered some sizzling squid coz my doctor has told me to avoid eating beef, pork and other hard to chew stuff since i’ve got a tendency to dislocate my jaw. My right jaw has been hurting bad the past few days dahil nga raw my jaw joint is not positioned well, for a bizarre reason. It clicks when I open my mouth (you know, lumalagutok). Ouch. But I’ve been taking medicine to remedy it, and i hope it gets well. I don’t want i locked jaw anytime soon.

Going back to the mall story, I and my mom were sitting by the table waiting for my kuya and dad to bring the food there when my mom asked me to buy some fries. She said she was craving for it. I then went to buy some in that store where they offer free dips for fries. I picked the garlic wasabe sauce because it sounded good, then went back to my mom with the fries and the dip. We were munching on the fries when my mom commented "Ano ba ‘tong dip mo? Lasang tipaklong." I told her it was garlic wasabe sauce, admitted that it didn’t taste good, and jokingly asked her, "Anong lasang tipaklong? Bakit, nakatikim ka na ba nu’n?" She seriously answered a "yes", and even went on to say "Masarap kaya ‘yun." The food on my mouth always went out when I laughed real hard upon that. My brother, who just arrived, was also laughing sooo much about the fact that my mom has tried to munch on some grasshoppers. My mom explained that the thing tastes good when fried, and said it was common for them in Nueva Ecija to eat those jumping stuff. I still can’t get over the fact that a revelation has been made, and was already full before I halved my meal, thanks to so much laughter (I was actually in tears because of laughing so much).

I just love my mom. She is sooooo darn real. And funny for that matter. So if you want some grasshopper sauce too, go find that fries store which offers garlic wasabe sauce.

*RandOm musings:

- I’ve watched a lot of movies the past few days, and "The Pianist" was the best. Adrien Brody was so good an actor in that film. "The Silence of the Lamb’s" Hannibal Lecter gave me creeps. I have also seen "Munich" and "The Wedding Crashers." The former was a long film. But I love the flashback-while-having-sex scene towards its end. Spielberg sure is artistic.

- My Asian Tribe in Survivor has been reduced into 4, with Cao Boi voted off. He should have shut up. Jenny’s not in a good position too, and might be voted off on the next ep (she’s filipina, FYI). I’m counting on Yul and Becky to win.

- Geez. i am so sick of the "Boom Ta-rat" song from Willie Revillame. O God. It makes me really sick. *dance number included

- Fergie is hot. Yeng of PDA is hot. Dr Meredith Grey is hot. Gosh. So much hotties.

- Got all 18 units through CRS. Woooooooooohooooooo! PE too. Got lucky this time. Thank God.

It’s raining outside. This is my return blog. It just sucks that it’s sad.

I’m quite devastated now. I messed up with my journalism exam. I missed a movie I’ve been dying to see. It’s the first time I felt jealousy (or did I?). And just like Abby, I’m a miserable, penniless pig.

Ok. I’ll deal with these one by one. My journ exam? I think I didn’t do good in it. I didn’t know how to define libel, press conference and one-on-one interview. And I’m an aspiring journalist. Damn it. I also think I messed up with the news report we were asked to write. I dunno if it’s just me. I was really scrambling to write a decent news story. And we were asked to give some background info about it. Man. To start with, I didn’t know how to organize the whole thing, then here comes my professor telling us to provide background info? I’m headed to doom.

Next, I met Kral, Harold and Nikki on my way to the shopping center. Then Kral told me something (it’s for all you guys to find out). I dunno if I should take the thing seriously, but damn, was I jealous? Nakakaasar. It’s the first time I seriously felt that feeling. That’s why I’m not sure about it. Kasi naman si Kral. Hehe.

Anyway, I walked them to their dorm. I was checking on their bulletin board when I saw the screenings in the UP Film Center for this month. I felt really down when I saw that "In the Mood for Love" was already shown. Yesterday. I just missed it. I really suck at timing. Well, I’m not sure why I want to see that movie. I just have a feeling it’s good (and Con says its good).

Lastly, like Abby (my orgmate), I’ve just turned into a miserable, penniless pig. Why miserable? This whole blog says its all. Why penniless? It’s sembreak and I have to say bye-bye to my weekly allowance. Why pig? Geez. I think I gained a lot of weight during the past few days when I did nothing but lay around in our house. My god. I should shape up.

But there are some things I can smile about. I got a 1 in PolSci14, I finished the requirements in PanPil17, and THIS SEM IS OVER. I am so done with it. Yeah. Crying over spilt milk can do nothing, but it can at least lighten up what I feel.

The rain outside has stopped. Maybe this is a good sign. I can’t wait for next sem.

PS. I’m currently addicted to Qing He of Meteor Garden. I know. The show is sooooo ancient. But I had fun watching its DVDs during my short vacation, and I just like watching Qing He. He is so ME.

nyahaha. hi kenver.
