LA is back!!!
I’m now fighting the urge to take a nap here in the office while at my station. I came to work today, a rainy Sunday at 6am without much sleep. Ceasar even had to accompany me on my way to work kasi baka makatulog daw ako sa bus at lumagpas ako ng office. What a sweetheart! <3
But I think the headache I have is soooo worth it. I just had a wonderful night with my best high school buddies, LA and Gran and our beaus.
LA arrived with Genere and Tita Anna (her mom) last Thursday, July 24th. It is her second time to come and visit us from Australia. We will finally have the chance to meet her boyfriend of 6 years and fiancé, Genere.
We decided to meet up in my favorite café, Baang (pronounced as Bang) Coffee in Tomas Morato. (I suggest that you try their Black Forest and Death By Chocolate – they are really delicious but not as expensive as the other coffee shops that most of us came to love.)
Gran suggested that we have dinner at The Red Crab, not that far from the café. And it was the perfect choice for all of us. People who are really close to me know that I am not a big fan of seafoods but the dishes were awesome. I just had to try them.
We had sisig and tofu, chicharon bulaklak and calamares for our appetizers. We then indulged to seafood paella, Bacon wrapped Camaron Rebusado with Saffron Rice, Steamed Milkfish with Laing, Male crab (I had to emphasize on the gender of the crab since Gran really wanted a female one. =D) and lots of garlic rice. And my favorite: REFILLABLE ICED TEA!! Woohoo!!
The food are a bit pricey but I think they’re worth it because the place is great, the staff are very courteous and accommodating.
NEXT STOP: ZIRKOH Timog: to watch JOHN “UNIVERSAL SWEET” LAPUS’ birthday show
Genere and LA found the place too crowded and asked us if we could go some place else. Genere wanted to watch a Live Band so Gran suggested that we go to Mugen in Metrowalk instead.
AT MUGEN
I really liked the place. It was not that jampacked considering that it was a Saturday night. URBAN NATION was one of the featured bands that night and to my delight, all the bands are playing R&B songs. The night got better and better by the minute. =D
All the bands were great but I really find URBAN NATION the best since they performed most of my recent favorite songs – J. Holiday’s Suffocate, Usher’s U Remind Me, Nice n’ Slow and Love in Da Club, Chris Brown’s With You and Trey Songz’ Can’t Help But Wait. Also, I found that my friend, Paulo is the drummer of the band. I’ve always admired this kid for his talent and humility. I know that he will go places.
Once again, we had drinks and sisig (sizzling this time) while we groove to the music. We left Mugen at around 2am.
It was a wonderful evening spent with special people who I am so blessed to share my simple life and a beautiful friendship with. Too bad, Apol wasn’t able to come home around the time of LA’s visit. We would’ve a grander time with her and Darwin.
LA, Genere and Tita Anna will be leaving the Philippines on August 9 to spend the remaining 2 weeks of their holiday in Singapore and Malaysia. I really pray that they have a safe and pleasant trip going to their next stops and on their way home back to Australia.

Another Guiness record for Sir Paeng Nepomuceno
Paeng Nepomuceno also made it to the Guiness World Records for the third time. This time for having won the most number of bowling tournaments worldwide -- 118.
He is also currently holding the record for winning four World Cups in three different decades and for being the youngest to win a world title at the age of 19. Beat that!! Hahaha..
Truly, a World Class Filipino..

David Blaine is now in the Guiness World Records
I watched Oprah last night and saw David Blaine broke the Guiness Record for the Longest Breathholding underwater that was recently made early this year.
The Old world record was for 16 minutes and 32 seconds. David Blaine's and the new world record is for 17 minutes and 4 seconds. David trained for 4 months to prepare for this attempt with the help of wordclass doctors, fitness trainers and divers.
Congratulations, David!!!

Iisa Pa Lamang
Last night, I watched the pilot episode of Claudine Baretto's new teleserye, Iisa Pa Lamang. I'm not really into teleseryes but the trailer got me interested. If the trailer stayed true to the real storyline, then I'm glad that at least Filipino writers are starting to treat their target audience with maturity.
I'll try watching it for two weeks, then we'll see if it's as good as they want to show us it is.
P.S. I just need to mention that Diether Ocampo has a great body and that Gabby Concepcion looks loke he's only a few years older than Diether and Claudine.

Miss Universe 2008
I watched the Miss Universe 2008 pageant yesterday and I was very happy with the result.
Ms. Colombia, Taliana Vargas, really had my vote from the start of the semifinals until I heard her answer the Jennifer Hawkin's question, "If you could go back in time and change a moment in your past, what would that be and why?"
She gave an answer that I consider to be the safest and laziest answer that one could give to such a question that would definitely show one's strength and humility. I was really disappointed.
That is why I considered, Ms. Venezuela's (Dayana Mendoza) answer to Louis Licari's question: "Do you believe men or women have it easier in life, and why?" her leap to the crown.
Her answer: "God made us to share and to have difference, but big difference between women and men, doesn't matter whether kind of life they live, is that men think, that they think that the faster way to got to a point is go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is go to the curve and fix in every curves."
(BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE)
Her answer uplifted the women without the degrading men, and I think that makes a true Miss Universe, focusing the strengths of one's self without higlighting the weaknesses of others. =D Amazing!! i really like her.
