Long weekend.

Yeah I had a long weekend lolz.

Friday, got a few shirts from Team Manila's Warehouse sale. As I type this, I wonder where I put my Ninoy pins. Grabbed lunch at Teriyaki Boy and tried out their Yogato. I shall make a post comparing all FroYos I consumed.

Teriyaki Boy's Yogato: FroYo with Apollos, Mangoes and Coffee Jelly

Last Saturday, we watched Harry Potter 7 with Ehboi (he got 2 tickets, winning from their costume party) and saw friends inside the Greenbelt cinema.

The movie was spectacular. IMHO, its the best HP movie i've seen. It kept loyal to the book but it wasn't as glued to it like HP1. Some scenes were different but the choice of cinematic drama is favorable (like Hedwig tried fighting back, protecting Harry *sniff*). CGI was astounding, like you can imagine how Dobby's skin feels like. I, for one, loved how Umbridge's Patronus looked like, not to mention the silver doe. The emotions as you read the chapters were there. Cinematography-wise it looked like an ordinary British film, which felt great actually, like it's almost less magical but it'll still get to keep you on the edge of your seat, as frustrated, sad, clueless as the characters. That even if you've read the book, you'll still feel like you're knowing the story for the first time. The moviehouse was so quiet, eagerly waiting for the next thing to happen.

We actually talked about the posters that almost looked like Twilight. Ivan and I agreed that one fanmade poster was apt for the first part of HP7.


After the movie, we were supposed to grab dinner at Pepper Lunch but the aircondition broke down. So we went to Ayala Triangle instead...

...to check out the new restaurants and we've discovered one gem in the middle of Makati. Chef Laudico's BFast.


I seriously forgot to take pictures of what we ordered because the food was so enticing, we cant wait to jump on it. First, you have to choose between Silogs (Fried Rice, Eggs, with Atchara and Tomato slices plus the Topping or the Filling of your choice), Kalogs (Sweet potato and Eggs plus Topping/Filling), Torta (Topping/Filling with scrambled eggs and grated quezo de bola on top) and Pandenini (Pandesal with the Filling of your choice.) Toppings/Filling were Tapa, Chicken or Pork Tocino, Christmas Ham, Bacon, Pinoy-style corned beef, Sisig and many more.

We ordered a not-so-ordinary Tapsilog, because the tapa is made of Angus beef. Christmas Ham Torta, is made of scrambled eggs with green bell pepper and slices of Christmas Ham. Chicken Adobo Pandenini, is made of Pandesal with fried chicken adobo, sandwiched with cheese smothering, Spaghetti with Egg, Bacon and melted Quezo de Bola. Those are great but their Champorado, made with Belgian Chocolate and Rice Krispies, took the cake. Plus, this:

Mango Pavlova. Sweet riped mangoes on top of soft and crusty merengue.

I ate two. :s

Then we went to Malate, grabbed a bottle of Tequila and went home tipsy. Not drunk. I just had 4 shots and three glasses of Zombie.

Sunday was laundry day, Monday rain was too hard, so we just had Pizza delivered (the usual thin-crusted Angus Steakhouse and a thin-crusted Pepperoni) while watching The Walking Dead episode 4. Then tonight was KFC Double Down night. Randomly, Jeff, Ryan, Rae, Dian, Chie, Ehboi and I chatted using FB's group chat and decided to go to a secluded KFC branch since weve all heard that the Double Down was a box-office hit.

I say it is not that bad, but I seriously wanna live. :s It is a scary sandwich.

I will never EVER eat chicken nuggets again.

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.

Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.

There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.

But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?

Trauma. Gad Gad Gad

I left my manners at home.

Went to Rob Place to grab a casing for my phone and thought of passing by to powerbooks and grab some FroYo*. Their Blueberries tasted like raw tamarind so I decided to have butterscotch, cherries and mango for it. While looking around, theres this guy in gray who looked at me twice, and I thought for 5 seconds that I might've known him. When I looked at him again, he smiled and usually when I'm weirded out, i tend to always have this smirk. Then he walked to the other side of the mall and i continued browsing.

We all have this dilemma that mallrats are not usually that friendly, so our usual judgment is... that he could be a "person-for-rent". He doesnt look like it though. He has the biggest smile like a kid to a christmas present. I was texting while walking on the fourth floor and I saw him again at the 3rd floor escalator, looking at me, then he waved. So then I smiled. Thinking... wow. He IS friendly (again, dilemma). I saw him walk out of the mall, went to the left side, and so I went to the right side, going to Ministop but theres this car passing by so I turned around and surprised that he was behind me. WHO IN THE WORLD WOULDN'T FREAK OUT ON THAT? He smiled and gestured, "wait". Then he pulled out a credit card receipt and a pen then wrote... "Sorry I'm deaf. Can i Just at least get your name?"

I hand-signaled, No. (Two hands, waving.) But he insisted on handing me the piece of paper and the receipt. I wrote... "Sorry", then paused for seconds just to write anything else but I was frantic. He hand-signed "name" like a nameplate to his chest then pointed at me, so I wrote my name on the paper. Handed it back to him then i made a two thumbs up.

Two fucking thumbs up. Like "Ayos? Ok na?" Then I walked away and went to Ministop after he just stood there with an awkward smile like... I dunno. It broke my heart when I was in the cab thinking about it.

Then yeah, I rode a cab and the thought made me realize... I didnt even ask for his name. :( I saw him eating alone at Jollibee and I ignored that fact. Maybe because he's deaf, he just wanted someone to spend the afternoon with someone. He looked decent and it felt like he doesnt have ANY intentions. Just to meet people.

The world made me doubt everyone. Personally, what I did was rude, and I don't know how to take it back. Stu. Pid.

Then I met my friends at Rockwell, went to Fully Booked then decided to grab some dinner at ToHo BF Homes. It's a chinese restaurant that started as a Panciteria outside the Intramuros walls at 1888. Dude, thats more than a hundred years. How can you not trust a restaurant that cooked more than a century? Everything tasted great. Without exaggeration. From Seafood Canton, Chicken, to Fried Spare Ribs. It is like hell for a person trying to lose weight. But its REALLY worth it. It also claims that Rizal and Del Pilar hangs out at the Intramuros branch during those era. So at least now we have something in common aside from citizenship.

The dinner made me forgot what happened. But I was awfully quiet until the Leche Flan.


This other half could be shared you know. :(

**Thank you for being there. :D I missed you.

I woke up craving for you. (Or should I just blame Vince for this)

I remembered that lunch where I had two rye breads and this. I actually wanted to eat the whole pack without the bread.

Now I am obliged to go to the nearest Grocery and grab this lil cheesy baby.

My God. Pagkain na naman.

ay.

hotdog, scrambled egg with tomatoes on top of steaming garlic rice.
