Birds of the same feather

It took me a while to blog again.
Yes, the salad didn't kill me - obviously.. Too bad evil wishers :)
Two weekends have passed and there were missed opportunities for spilling beans of spicy blunders.
But spilling beans would get myself in a mess as well so I decided to be a good girl tonight and merely blog about other stuff up my aged sleeves -at my expense (duh, whoelse's?).

So..Here's a question for ya..
How do you know you've grown old?
The answer could be as easy as cake..
But how do you know you're not the only one who's grown old?
My answer:
When you go on a night out with friends and all of you start yawning after each other..

Yes, unfortunately for my friends and I (you know who you are witches!), we've sadly accepted the fact that eyeing the guys in the bars could land us in court with the likelihood of 1/1.

I was out on Saturday night for a movie date with two friends and then decided to go to the usual places girls would go for a drink. The three of us just sat there and in no less than half an hour or so, yup you guessed it- started yawning and looking at our watches. Don't get me wrong, I love their company, it just so happens that we've grown too old for this sort of stuff.

There's this overused adage that says "Birds of the same feather flock together"..
Now that is old. Being the self-confessed internet addict that I am I have my own li'l words o' wisdom to throw.

I say "Birds of the same feather stumble together."
I am not referring to the word stumble as a metaphor though. I am talking about the next best thing to whatever it is you use to surf the net with. Forget Google- they too've grown old.. Stumble Upon is excellent -I'd give it a million thumbs up if I had the extra thumbs..And by all means, don't just take it from me, check it for yourself.

And contrary to the saying "Curiosity killed the cat" I say, DIE. The internet is a worldwide buffet of lively, unexpected, smart and creative stuff. You'll miss out on a million genius things if you haven't stumbled yet.

Bollocks, I should get paid for this ad!

the biggest animal

Today I learned something new.. Care to know? Okay, even if you don't I'll share anyway. Did you know that the blue whale- the biggest animal on earth has a tongue the size of an elephant?

My sister-in-law was watching 'Are you smarter than a fifth grader?' and this was one of the biggest questions.

Thanks to shows like that one, blue whales' tongues will always have an elephant attached in my mad imagination. And if it weren't for the blue whale's elephant-sized tongue, my mind would be totally blank now..

This happens when I don't get enough sleep. Last night, after a greasy, self-indulgent dinner with close friends, insomnia crept in and not even a beer could help. So I decided to go back to my usual routine of having salad for dinner tonight. Nothing fancy, just some lettuce, singkamas (our local turnip), carrots, apple and the best ingredient of them all- pork tocino! Kids and adults, please don't try this at home. I am no dietitian, I just experiment. Don't worry, you'll know if I'll survive or not.

the peaceful nook

If you happened to pass by my place recently, I wouldn't be surprised if you stopped for a second, dumbfounded look. Our gate was adorned with huge graphics using colors that gave you an illusion that you took a wrong turn somewhere and wound up ending in a resort. Multi-colored flags by the fence made it even more apparent like icing on a cake.

There's a residential condominium being constructed beside our home and no, this is not ours. The only thing I'm grateful for, aside from the glorious resort-like facade, is the extra security.

No more weird-fellows-hopping-over-the-fence-from-next-door-with-a-guy-
carrying-a-bolo-chasing-him afternoon special and we no longer have to bust our horns and wait for hours for our 'gate engineers' to open the gate. I guess the developers got it right by calling the area 'a peaceful nook'. Our neighbors too, look in astonishment, as if those guards were hired officially just for us. So for those who thought of stalking or pulling a nasty prank on me in the crib, BEWARE.

The property has been given the name Wood Crest, although we only have some coconut trees and a few bamboo sightings in the area. Jokes aside, please do drop by for a visit to the web page. You might know some people who'd love to relocate and become my first glimpse of a normal life.

do you ear what i ear?

I'd like to share with you my secret recipe for staying "sane". Forget Lobotomy and what it promises, last.fm feeds me all the music my ear drums could possibly crave for.

I start and end my day with music- the daily showers, long drives to the office- just about anywhere I could plug my ipod into... It must be the most over-used and over-plugged ipod EVER.. Oh yeah.. And like I always say- if music were food, i'd be very fat by now..

This widget is one of my all-time faves. Forget the weather widget!
..To all those musically-inclined descendants like myself.. BEHOLD THE QUILT!
Take that Wynona..

Lobotomy

Hi.. At the crib again enjoying the cool night breeze. I must admit, thinking about what to blog about is like picking a sheep on the sheep market and wondering what to do with it. But don't get me wrong here, I kinda love the idea.. I mean 10,000 sheep drawings? ..I KNOW, RIGHT?

Tomorrow I work as a Marketing Associate for a vehicle trading company and it's been a fun ride to say the very least. A lot of things have been happening that helped made me grow. Like I couldn't get over the other day when an officemate of mine explained to me about the word Lobotomy. I have never come across such a word in my life and was grateful for the extra points it added to my dwindling IQ. It's definition in wikipedia is just as uncanny as the word sounds - in the city where I come from, people's eyebrows could get raised , or worse, you could get slapped when using it in a conversation. Guys, don't say this -especially to girls from my area.. You'll know why.

my first post!

Helloooo! I am spending the Saturday afternoon in the crib, which is out of the ordinary since I usually attend to my clients -who are slowly turning out to be my second family. We've been working on the interior design of their not-so-new house for over 8 months now and I am proud to say that this baby is well on it's way to labor. This is my first ever post here and I already gave you a nugget of background on my life- if that is what it's called.

I am still trying to get used to the controls & settings in blogspot, so please bear with me. My slightly demented brain is slowly processing a bigger chunk of information than the usual.
