weekend madness
last weekend was really tiring for me!
FRIDAY
my folks picked me up at work and we headed straight to pancake house for dinner and boy, did that pan-fried chicken tasted like moses after parting the red sea! after dinner, we bought pistachio creme pie across the street at conti's and headed to ruins for a little bit of shopping.
it's so unfair! everywhere you go, there are always more clothing choices for women than for men. us guys only choose between pants and shorts, collared or not. while my mum, tita and sis bought new clothes and accessories, all i got was a bag of movies and concert DVDs (ong bak, flight plan, the truth about cats and dogs, must love dogs, when harry met sally, fever pitch, kicking and screaming<--uber hilarious, corpse bride, american pie 4, nirvana unplugged, aerosmith and a classical orchestra concierto)
by 10:00 we were home eating the luscious creme pie while watching flight plan. it's a movie worth your time. don't watch it though if you are planning to ride a plane in the near future or you too will be a paranoidal wreck like jodi foster. LOL!
11:30 snooze time. gotta wake up early for gardening and the trip to market! market!
SATURDAY
after an hour of gardening, i took a relaxing bath. boy, was i dirty!? we left the house at around 10 am and arrived the fort before 12 noon. we saw this SU-TU-KIL restaurant in front of pricemart. i remembered the last time we ate at such a restaurant. it was last summer at cebu, the home of sutukil (SU-gba, TU-something and KIL-awin) it's like eating at dampa where you buy fresh food at the market and have the restaurant prepare them for you. there was an array of mollusks you only see in encyclopoedias and other critters you never dreamt of eating. ONLY IN CEBU. in the SUTUKIL at the fort, it was all ala-carte. ALA-CORNY! accompany not-so-tasty dishes with helovalot slow-paced service and moderately-high preces... (POOF!) badtrip!
we shoped at pricemart then headed to market! market! nothing new there. just like at ruins, all the stuff was for women! the only things i got were sore feet and an expensively-bad haircut c/o david's saloser. after that i asked them to drop me off at cubao where i was supposed to meet chai for their acquaintance party slash battle of the bands. i have to go there because it has been a week since i last saw chai (1 week cool-off) and yes, i am supposed to judge the battle of the bands. LOL
INSERT 1 1/2 HOURS OF TRAFFIC JAM HERE.
we finally arrived cubao station, she called to give me directions to her classmate's house. it wasn't very good. we u-turned 4 times around aurora boulevard, the road to marikina, edsa and new york. to top all of that, we were hailed by an mmda police for beating a red light. PUTANG INA! i'm gonna be late! it was actually a blessing in disguise, dad and i tried our best to act out way out of the offense. our alibi, we're running late for an appointment at an unfamiliar place and we've been circling edsa for quite some time now. hehe! none of it actually was an alibi. all of 'em were true. the officer was kind enough to escort us to the meeting place (megamelt store in banahaw street) and my dad gave the officer a "Token of Appreciation" *winkwink*
fei's house was right across the street. i was surprised that chai haven't taken a bath yet! it's already 6:45 and the program starts at 7! guess who the project head is? yup! it was her! LOL. after eating a slice of ensaymada and a glass of coke, we hailed a cab. moomba bar wasn't far from the house (balete drive-morato-roces), we only paid the driver 60 bucks. we arrived there at 8 sharp. an hour early using PST (philippine standard time). haha!
moomba bar has a very rustic, cozy feel because of the warm lights, plush seats, earthly tones and mundane, laid-back atmosphere. an almost perfect place for an acoustic concert. i was escorted to the table of the judges where i was introduced to my co-judges. two music majors. erwin, minor in choir conducting and his gf karen, piano minor. they are both younger than me and i guess that made me the chairman. (i was lucky enough to be chosen. maybe because of my impressive musical resume, or maybe just because the organizer is my gf. LOL)
INSERT 4 MEDIOCRE BAND PERFORMANCES HERE.
SUNDAY
it's already midnight, 3 bands to go! they did better performances than the others and unanimously, we chose them to be our top three. the winners: 1st place 4E2, 2nd place 3E2, third place 4E3. doesn't matter, our votes has only a 50% impact on the result, the other 50%? from the ticket votes. the final results had 4E3 for 1st place, 4E1 at 2nd and 3E2 at 3rd. our bet for #1 lost because only 20 of their classmates voted. SUCKS! to prove that they were the best, they bagged 3 of 5 individual awards (bassist, vocals, guitars). mob mentality still won over true talent. we were really upset.
we were awarded plaques of appreciation after that. for me, the food was enough. LOL. the party ended at 2am. we left the place at around 3:30. (1 1/2 hours of nothing. just waiting for people to leave or for someone to start the diaspora) next stop, starbucks morato. we did nothing but sit and wait. 5:00 i finally got my well-deserved rest.
we woke up at aroung 10am and headed straight home.
1 pm, lunch time at home and we had all the dishes that was left from our sutikil order retouched by me mum. after lunch, i hit the sack and woke up for the 6pm mass.
yellowcab for dinner. we had my favorite garden gorumet pizza (bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, tomato, onion, mushroom, olives and capers), 4cheese pizza, charlie chan pasta and hot wings.
YUM! YUM!
to cap the evening, we had another scrabble game wile watching kicking and screaming. will ferrel is really hilarious! haha! talk about caffeine overdoze! watch it yourself to know.
sleepy time at 10:30.
HEP, MONDAY, WEEKEND'S EXTENSION
the moment we woke up, dad dragged us to the van for a trip to our coffee farm in amadeo. my suffering continues. i felled two coconut trees and got a blister for each of them. (thanks a lot gaea!) i was so tired clearing the wild cogon and harvesting crops, i fell asleep on the way home.
DROZ DROPPED DEAD AT 9:30PM
(i did more strenuous activities i failed to include in my post. what those are? slash gee gee)

huuy mw coffee farm kayo as in? hehe pede ba ako bumili? :D
i looooove brewed coffee
hehe. meron pero kaka-bili pa lang namin. napabayaan ng may-ari e. kami ngayon yung bubuhay ng bago kaya mga 2 years pa siguro bago kami makakuha ng magandang harvest. for now, konti-konti muna. enough lang sa everyday brewing. pero in fairness! masarap!
dala ka ng coffee! ipa-coffee taste natin ahahahah!!! =)
