manic may.

The last couple of weeks had been (somehow) busy for me. To try to reiterate:

My little drummer boy.

After more than three years of my relationship with Ian, I finally got him to try a shorter haircut. I got really tired of his old do and how people keep saying he has better hair than me. "Gayahin mo si Ian nagsusuklay!" hmp. So after a few arguments, walk-outs, and two haircuts in a day, I finally got what I wanted. (enter evil laugh here)hahahaha. I like his hair sooo much better now, though after the parlor cape was removed his first words were: "Ano, masaya ka na?". Indeed, happy I am. He looks so young now, thus my new nick's for him, Little Drummer Boy or Tenten (from Tanging Ina).

Which do you like better?

May 12 was my sister's birthday. The four of us (my dad was in Cagayan for work) celebrated the day with dinner at TGIF. My sister is so lucky her classmates are generous, she received quite a bundle for her birthday. (Tamang parinig na ba?) Happy Birthday Memem, and to Ying (May 8), Steph (May 12) Sephen (May 16) and Ujin (May 21)!



May 13 of course was Mother's Day. Did you know that it is the most "eating-out" celebrated holiday, Valentine's only coming in second? True enough, every place in Promenade was packed even with lines waiting outside. I gave my Mom a pair of Crocs, knowing how picky she is with footwear (already three sandals from me are not anymore used), because of medical reasons. I loved the idea of how comfy Crocs are, but they really are ugly.. Lucky enough just this month, I saw Cleo in the stores and immediately thought it would be perfect for Mom. Happy Mother's day to all Mom's!!

Next day, May 14 is elections day in the whole country. I'm happy that most who got my votes are now constantly in the final 12. Yey. It's a different story for my hometown though. tsk tsk.

FInally got to try out the new restaurant (if you could still call one month old new) IL PIRATA here in Eastwood on our monthsary. We knew the exteriors were great but when we walked inside the interiors are just amazing! Everything was so detailed, there were even carvings on the ceiling! The few officemates that I have who have tried it did not recommend the place though, being it was expensive and the menu is limited, but we enjoyed IL PIRATA just fine. Meals are at 300 up, but given that it has huge servings and prices are already tax inclusive, I'd say our bill is just all right. And Italian, being my favorite food, I'd say the limited menu is not a problem for me.

still can't get over tenten's haircut!

My phone finally gave up on me. After more than a year of unbelievable drops (a drop from the 2nd floor terrace to the ground, thanks to tuni, a slip in my short's ripped back pocket directly to the floor, a stumble to 4 steps in the stairs and countless drops from my bed to the cement floor), my phone finally said "Enough is enough!". Here's how it happened, I was in bed when an evil roach flew directly at me. Naturally I jumped around like crazy, shrieking and screaming, kicking my sister in the eye on the process. It was later on that I found out that my phone was also a victim of my hysteria as I found the now all-white screen (at first I thought one of my sisters had changed the wallpaper). Maybe I knelt down on it while it was flipped open or something. Hay. But heck it could still receive calls and texts (I just can't see the message or who's calling, and I could still call, by guessing where am I already at the menu after pressing the keys haphazardly). If this does not show how amazingly sturdy the Motorola Razr is, I don't know what the hell can.
