The Simpsons plus one

Unplanned. I was too lazy to gym. R's thighs hurt. M had to go to the doctor. The three of us had a conference and brainstormed what to do after office hours. R suggested a movie and we all agreed to watch "In the Land of Women" (good movie, by the way). And before we entered Cinema 1, the Simpsons were there. I volunteered to pose. R & M refused to pose. Ako lang ang naglakas loob magpa-picture. Or was it a case na nauto nila akong dalawa to pose? Darn.

Happy Feet

I entered the elevator and there were a few people inside. I proceed at the back portion and my head bent down, I looked at my feet. To kill time until I reach my destination. I mused to myself, I really like the color of my toe nails - salmon red! And then, I glanced to the rest of the feet in the elevator. Hmmm... her toenails are polished like mine but her color was more of metallic deep lavender. I glanced to the other set of feet - unpolished, but clean toenails. And the rest... not interesting. They were wearing closed shoes. Hmp.

To move or not to move

Our lease would be up on 15 July. A month ago, I was panicking. Every Sunday, I would buy a newspaper and only read the classified ads. Diyos ko, sana po may for rent na swak sa budget namin. Part of the agenda in Sunday walks with Chubby-wan would be to look around the Kapitolyo area and chance upon a For Rent sign. No luck. Tried San Antonio Village and voila! Ang dami pala doon! While Ate Annie is driving slowly, I was busy scribbling down the contact numbers. Following day, I inquired and had little luck. Either the rent is too high or there's no provision for parking. Haaaaay. Demmit. Think. What to do now? What other options do we have? The last and most dreaded option was asking the landlord for an extension of our lease. I dread this option kasi I had the impression months back that our landlord was not keen on letting us renew our lease. May issue kasi about our water consumption. And we hardly talk to him unless its necessary. Anyways, it was pretty taxing to look for another place, taposo bayad na naman ng deposit (eeeeeeeek!), tapos after 7-8 months, we will be moving to another place.... a more permanent one. Thus, nilunok ko ang aking pride, at kinausap ko ang landlord - to let us extend for about 8 months na lang and I proposed, (not marriage ha), an increase in the rent. Sabi ko, "dadagdagan namin ng 500 pesos per month". Tapos, he counter offered a thousand bucks. HMP. Sige na nga, para matapos na at less hassle on our part, pumayag na rin ako. HMP.

Walking on a Sunday morn

Starting point is at Chubby-wan's place in Mandaluyong and we proceed to streets in San Juan until we reach Wilson Street. In the past, we head to Greenhills and make the rounds. For the past two Sundays, we have concentrated on Greenhills West instead. Natakot ako nung una baka sitahin kami nung village security guard but Chubby-wan confidently passed by them and I followed suit. She reasons out that we look Chinese anyway so we look like homeowners na rin. Onga naman.

We don't do this every Sunday but I actually look forwad to it. It's a chance for us to talk about how our week went, share problems, etc. Girl bonding ba. And at times, we just share a comfortable silence. To each her own thoughts. After an hour or so, one of us would bring up this important question, "Where do we eat breakfast?" In the past, we had it at Country Waffles (I insist to go here because the waiter is a cutie and he has excellent PR but unfortunately, it closed down), Bangus, and Tropical Hut (our latest favorite!). Afterwards, we walk back to Chubby-wan's place. To burn the breakfast calories daw. Pero kung inabutan na kami ng kainitan ng araw, we hail a cab and head home. Actually, 90% of the time, nagtataxi na kami pauwi. Mainit na at nakakatamad na maglakad kapag busog ka. Di ba?

Cler tagged me! Cler tagged me!

This is an attempt on the 6 weird things about myself. Here goes...
1. I hit a cockroach several times until all of its parts are dismembered. Sabi ng Ate ko, pwede naman na isang beses ko lang paluin. But I have to make sure it's really dead.... right?
2. I eat pickles with potato chips.
3. When I sleep, I tape my mouth.
4. I eat balut with vinegar and Tabasco sauce.
5. My cellphone is always on silent mode but I always look at it to check for messages, missed calls, and reminders.
6. I'm going to tag my friends who doesn't have blogs.

And now, I tag Meyri, Kerin, Heyzil, Rubee, Chubby-wan, and Ate Annie!

Tag Rules:
Enumerate 6 weird things about thyself. And then, choose six people whom you'd like to tag.

Note(s) to self

1. Learn how to drive (so that I will not be dependent on my sister, Rhea, Reno, Alkotby, etc.).
2. Go to confession this month.
3. Clean my room. Plus my desk at work.
5. Focus on gyming. When I fall into laziness, I should think of my cellulite-filled thighs and Pacquiao-like arms.
6. Find a distraction so that my thoughts will not dwell on past mistakes.
7. I will stop here and work on 1-6.
