hanky story number two

this one's from mikey too. let me relay why it's all crumpled and why it's on a tissue paper.

here in sg, people use tissue packs to "reserve" or "save" tables in food courts. apparently, as you will learn later, they don't consider hankies as valid "reservations"!

jan and i went to food republic for lunch one day and we luckily found one free table. we reserved it using my hanky and off we went to buy our food. after a few minutes, we were devastated to find that our table was occupied. what's worse is, my hanky's gone! war mode, jan said, "we left a hanky to reserve this table." the local girl was a warrior herself :p "but there's no hanky here!"

enough said, we walked away and looked for a new table. i was determined to get my hanky back! we waited for auntie table-cleaner and asked her if she saw my hanky by any chance. she said her colleague found it and kept it. she looked for him (an uncle) and presto, he returned my hanky. he got the hanky from his pocket and handed it to me. me = extremely happy.

however, i didn't know what happened to my hanky from the time i left it on the table to the time it was handed back to me. i didn't intend to use it anymore for that day so i turned it inside-out and planned to just keep it in my bag. hola hola hola! when i opened it, something wet and slimy was there! wasn't that much though. hahaha! uncle must have colds :p

if it's just a regular hanky, i would have thrown it, but it isn't and it's a gift. so i just wrapped it in a tissue paper. aha, and now it's all clean and washed up! enough said. wet and slimy.

hoegaarden night

last night, kuya asked if we wanted beer. i have a mild headache and figured that it will be a good way to conclude the night. pampahimbing-tulog! so i said yes. they got back with 2 packs of beer and some chips.

the bottle says hoegaarden. it was good! beer minus the bitterness. in fact it somehow tastes like juice :p kuya said lakas-tama daw itong beer na ito. hmmm, mukang totoo kasi at one point, i was surprised to see that the bottle was leaning towards me. hahaha! lakas-tama nga.

we were drinking while chatting online with wawin. i just had 2 bottles and a lot of chips. it was a fine night. i almost twittered "intoxicated with love, good stories, good company, and two bottles of hoegaarden." but the post didn't make it. i died before i managed to post :p

our little bumble bee/angel

look how big she's grown! :)

she's becoming a darling more and more each day. :)

she has tantalizing eyes and a promise of a unibrow. :)

it's not very evident, but she has massive legs! come here, crispy pata! :)

she loves to smile (when she's in the mood) like there's no tomorrow. :)

as if she has teeth to be proud of! :)

and a mighty laughter too! :)

at the end of a day that went all wrong, a mere keyla-power-hug could make it all perfect. :)

aah, this is a bathing suit. hopefully, she can use it soon. :)

i love this girl!

fruity and milky

i like my orange juice with milk! 2 parts juice, 1 part milk, and it's all perfect. that's my glass of wonder drink. there's a reflection on the mirror. and that's me on the pink shirt! this shot's extra special because it's the first time i've known that my phone camera has a flash! wow! naaliw ang bata!

ang pinakamasarap na siopao sa balat ng lupa

there's a tiny stall just outside suntec tower 5, near the body shop exit. i can't remember the name; i think they have a variety of local delights and I LOVE THEIR CHAR SIEW PAO!!! kuya tried their fried bee hoon but he said that it wasn't that good.

but the char siew pao! i! tell! you! it's the best! there was a point in my life when i had 2 char siew paos every morning. as in every morning! it's just a mini pao so if you get one, super bitin talaga. the dough is very good while it's hot, once it gets cold though, ay olats na. the char siew filling is just heaven! sweet, salty, soft, tasty! everything good packed perfectly in a small package!

here's yesterday morning's treat. i wanted to take a picture while it's still full but i just couldn't wait. i'm that hungry.
