Life in Autumn

So did you guys catch E-heads last Saturday?

E and I were among the thousands who went to their concert at the Mall of Asia. We were supposed to go to the first one but we were broke that time. Admittedly, I wasn’t exactly thrilled at the prospect of paying a thousand bucks to see the band when I used to see them a lot in UP. But I’m glad I went because despite the fact that we spent a lot just to see an ant-sized Ely Buendia and it was really a mosh pit out there, we actually had a blast.

We arrived at the venue around 6:30, an hour and half before the show started. They said the gates were open around 3 and we were supposed to go there early to secure our posts. I’m glad we didn’t because it didn’t really matter since the silver tickets we had were really far from the stage. You had to be at the VIP section to see the actual band playing.

It’s August. Finally! Yeah, for some 2008 may be passing by too soon but I have my own reasons for wanting this year to go by fast.

The title of this post speaks for my current disposition. After almost two years of having to get up at 6 a.m., I now get a swing shift. Not bad, considering all the stress I’m gonna leave behind and all those stuff I could do in the morning. Yatah! I could finally enjoy the gloriousness of breakfast, hit the gym (as if!), watch Doraemon and learn Japanese in the morning. Juicy stuff to do.

I vacillate though at the thought of having to rearrange my life again. I hope this change brings something good. Wish me luck. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

Over the Rainbow by Anne Murray

I’ve been sleeping with a pig recently, no pun intended.

Meet Samshik, the same stuffed pig Kim Sam Soon had in the drama. It’s the cutest, most lovable pig I’ve ever seen and may become a reason for me to go vegan.

Thanks, E!

So, obviously I’m not on any diet. Right now I’m at this stage where I just don’t care anymore if I’m overweight as long as I eat healthy. After spending most of my afternoons ogling at the delectable dishes on the Food Network, I realized that I love Asian food the most–Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese dishes. Asian foods are so well prepared and have their own unique personalities.

I’m sharing some of the food I’ve been feasting on.

Takuyaki

On weekends, E and I would go to the mall and eat Kuya Chito’s Takuyaki. Takuyaki is a Japanese snack made of vegetable and sometimes squid fillings, formed into a ball and drizzled with chicken or fish flakes, topped with mayonnaise and sauce. Yup, not exactly healthy but hey, they’re still made with vegetables so I figure it’s okay.

My bestfriend Lou got hitched last Saturday. She married my other friend Kim in a simple ceremony in Angeles City.

Recently, I realized how old I’m getting, not just because it’s getting more and more difficult to fit into my own clothes or that I’ve become more conscious of the fact that I already have some grey hair hiding somewhere. I knew I was getting old because I’ve been attending more weddings of people my age or even younger. That must mean something, right?

Anyway, I haven’t attended any other wedding before where I knew both the bride and groom. Usually I was either with the bride or the groom. This made Kim and Lou’s wedding more special to me aside from the fact that I was with my other old friends whom I grew up with.
