last week, i've seen a lot of twitter posts mentioning angel aquino's superb acting on magkaribal. i searched for the episode online and she was great indeed! parang sya ang favorite ko sa magkaribal hehe ;) kahit hindi ako nanonood ng magkaribal (idol lang ang pinapanood ko), like ko sya!
jan and i were having a late lunch at kfc last week. in the middle of an umaatikabong chika, i accidentally glanced at this resto, sizzler, just across kfc. i told her that we should try to eat there one friday. apparently, marco recommended this to her and it's A-ok daw.
friday's here! susme parang pang date naman ang ambiance hahaha! the lunch meals include the salad buffet, soft serve buffet (we assumed this is all about ice cream!), and drinks. i ordered sirloin steak. while waiting for our meal, we tried the salad buffet. my my! it was superb! so many choices! i didn't get too much to save some room for my tipak ng karne. i didn't take a pic of my salad plate. it didn't look as appealing as it tasted. :p
i know i'm not a fan of sirloin but i wasn't in the mood for fish today. it was the only thing that looked good. this time around, it didn't taste as appealing as it seemed. hahaha! so-so. remind me never to take sirloin again. the gravy was groovy though. groovy gravy :) baked potato was fine, but a bit too buttery.
i spotted these lucky me pancit canton look-alike pasta. i've been craving for lucky me for the longest time so i thought i'll have it with my dessert. impostor! it didn't taste anything like lucky me at all :)) it tasted like sesame oil (lang). eek. at least dessert was lovely too. :) this is choco ice cream with sprinklers on top, with yoghurt ice cream at the bottom. hehe. love love :)
mental note: next time, don't get a main course. the salad is hearty enough! tastes even better :) healthier pa. san ka pa? o ha?!
IT fair na naman! look at all these people! crowded na naman sa suntec kanina. good for them at may pangbili sila :) hehehe.
this was at the city hall escalator. see that crowd? ano kayang bibilhin nila pagdating nila sa IT fair? i took this pic and totally forgot that my phone has a flash now. dyahe! nag flash sa harap ng madlang people. as if they care naman e no? :) ummm, parang ang subject ko ay ang curly hair ni ate. pasensya.
it's almost the time of the month. kasabay ng pagwiweird ng mood ko ay ang pagwiweird din ng panlasa ko. to add flavor to my usual taho breakfast, i pigged on these heavenly ruffles cheddar and sour cream chips. whoever invented this flavor is a genius. it's the best i've tasted! perfect combination with my tahoe!
well, not really :)
look at these lovely "toys" :)
1. the red giraffe was a christmas present from the kind-hearted dev boys at work. bless them. imagine, they don't event celebrate christmas and yet they gave me and jan christmas presents! i can't remember if we named the twin giraffes amal and amor. hehe.
2. the plant was given by janise when i was low-spirited. for this reason, i named it hope. yup, i hate how it is associated with the belo girl but i can't think of a name that would better describe it. it gave me hope. yesterday, i saw a yellow leaf and i plucked it. i called it white hair. hehe. one day, i'll have my first white hair. i won't pluck it. i promise.
3. the silver/gold thing pinned on the wall is a doll made by one of the dev boys. he made it out of chocolate wrappers. cute :) such a waste to throw it away so i pinned it :) nice no? i haven't named it yet. maybe i'll name it guoya guinto. :)
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.
