Milenyo

Subtitled "Shopping Spree part 2."

Ngayon, malalaman ko na kung sino ang mga "religious bloggers" (badet,pahiram ha?!)
Halos lahat ng entry ngayon ay may kinalaman sa nagdaang Bagyong Milenyo. Kaya search lang ng keyword "bagyo Milenyo," makikita mo na ang mga adik sa blog! Well, kasali ako sa kanila!

Ang aking major concern ay ang baterya ng aking celphone. Mabuti naman at hindi ako nag-iisa sa problema ko! Paano ka nga naman tatawag/text sa boss mo kung may kuryente/pasok sa opisina nyo, kung low-batt ka? Kahit mahina ang signal, kahit network busy, nasa sistema na natin ang mag-text.

Namomoblema na rin si utol. Lakad-lakad. Ayun, may generator set ang Ministop dun sa amin. 7-Eleven, wala! (wala lang, gusto ko lang i-type!) Pero parang walang nagpapa-charge ng celphone. Expected ko pa naman na pila yun. Hindi na yata nila naisip na pagkakitaan yun, dahil sangkatutak na ang bumibili ng paninda nila. Paano kaya ako maka-diskarte? Mag-charge na lang kaya kami ng patago? Malabo, ang daming tao, sigurado may nakakapansin.

Kaya lapit sa may-ari ng store (sosyal!), sabay tanong ng "Pwede po bang maki-charge?" Nagulat ang thunder, na parang first time nya narinig na may naghihikahos sa baterya. Pumayag naman at pagkatapos, taas-noo kaming nakisaksak sa outlet nila! Hindi ko na alam ang nangyari pag-alis namin. Mukhang marami nang sumunod na nag-inquire kung pwede maki-charge.



Pagkatapos ng mga nagbagsakang puno, billboards, antenna at lumipad na mga bubong, ang andar ng tao ay papunta sa mga malls, dahil sa blackout sa buong Mega Manila. Pero wala din naman kuryente, generator lang, kaya wala ring kwenta. At nitong nagdaang araw, may 3-day sale pa sa SM Manila.

At sumugod nga ang mga utaw, grabeh, siksikan kahit walang aircon, makapag-shopping lang! Ang lagkit nun! Yuck! Kaya ka nga pupunta ng mall para malamigan, hindi magpapawis! Kaya postponed ang aking shopping.

Kaya hindi totoong naghihirap ang Pilipinas. Kung Biyernes tumama yung Milenyo, puno pa rin ang mga malls. Dedma ang bagyo!

(Sa may-ari ng store, salamat sa libreng kuryente. Malayo ang narating ng battery na yun!)


SM Carpark ito. Sure ako!

Shopping Spree

wahhh! my stagnant brain cells went to work again!
Astronomy sucks! that's why everybody hates that topic! We need an aeronautics engineer down here! Hahaha!

Good thing, another payday weekend coming up! when I say weekend payday, it means 3day sales.. These malls are siphoning my money, having to travel, then stroll, then after you get tired, eat! Expenses, expenses, expenses!

But I can't resist the temptation, after window-shopping all those years!

Me, an impulsive buyer? Nope! Let's just say, mall-hopping, with empty pockets no more!

Odd-looking Buildings

"Crooked House"
You know that your looking at a real building right? The Crooked House, built in 2004, is an addition at a popular shopping center, and is a major tourist attraction in Sopot, Poland. We just wonder what happens when someone who's under a controlled substance sees this building for the first time in their life.









"Robot Building"
The great Bank of Asia is a famous building in Bangkok. It was made way back in 1985, and its robotic appearance is just a symbol of banking in the modernize world. It also has the ability to transform into a spectacular robot. So, if Godzilla ever decided to show his green face in the land of Bangkok, they would have to fight!









"Dancing House"
Here's a building that should get your attention when walking pass it. The Dancing House is considered as one of the more real controversial buildings in Prague. A talented architect from California designed this House, which only proves that he had done some hallucinogen while designing the damn thing.

Funny Komiks

Langya. nami-miss ko na ang Funny Komiks! sila Bardagol, Tomas en Kulas at especially, Combantron.

Yun ang sikat noong kamusmusan ko. Wala pang Naruto at sangkatutak na anime noon. Pati ang tiyahin ko ay may memorabilia ng funny komiks, circa 1975. (Galing! na-compile nya!) Nabasa ko pa yun. Sina Niknok, Mang Ke, Mang Kok..

Sayang nga, at napunit na ng mga kapatid ko yung mga naipon ko. Naalala ko pa noon, super good deeds ako ng huwebes para may sustento ng pambili ng funny komiks.. Hehe! Huwarang-anak mode!

Combatron. ABS? GMA? Pwedeng gawing fantaserye ito.. Feeling ko mataas naman ang ratings.. Kahit nde sikat ta-artis, basta makuha lang ang mga costume, tsaka walang cinematic ka-dramahan.

Toei animation? Pwede ring original Filipino anime.

College basketball

start of the ber-months. it's basketball season once again. To start with, its already the finals in the NCAA, with Philippine Christian University and San Beda College desputing for this year's crown. i don't have time to watch it (games are M-W-F), because of the work schedule (naks! WORK!).
San Beda has improved under coach Koy Banal, and with their notable addition, Nigerian Sam Ekwe, they are tough to beat. But PCU are in the Finals for the third straight year, so they know how to play under pressure. I won't put a bet on any team, since i haven't watched (couldn't watch) any of their games.

While in the other (more popular) tournament, the UAAP, the Ateneo Blue Eagles advanced to the Finals after beating the Adamson Falcons, but "NOT" without a scare.
Meanwhile, the UST Tigers saw a ray of life as they beat the UE Red Warriors, which had a twice-to-beat advantage. I hope its still Ateneo-UE showdown, coz they are the powerhouse teams.

Green Tea goes Fruity

URC's claim as an "alternative" to sodas: C2 green tea, has launched 4 new flavors, namely: Kiwi, Lychee, Forest Fruits and Strawberry. I've tried the first 3. Forest Fruits, which is predominantly grape flavor, and Kiwi are new to my tastebuds. But still, nothing beats the black tea flavor.

But I've heard that they (C2) are under market testing. Eventually dropping the two least marketable.
So hurry! Products good while supply last. Do I look like an endorser here? (Don't even think about it! They'll go bankrupt if they tap me..)
