My day so far

Slept at around 4 am... Woke up at around 9:30 am... Couldn't go back to sleep... Already at the office... Third day with not much sleep... Hungry... Tired... Thinking of too many things... Head pounding with pain... Back aching but I don't know why... NOHOOO!!!

Breakfast at Mam Bebs

...any time of the day. I'm lucky that Alleba's office is right above Mam Bebs. Mam Bebs is my aunt's bakery and refreshment parlor. And like Ate Aileen, I love Pinoy breakfast food. Actually I love all breakfast food in general. Anyway... I get to eat Pinoy breakfast meals any time of the day... for breakfast, for lunch, or for dinner courtesy of Mam Bebs (minsan even for merienda). The one in the picture above is their Tosilog (tocino + sinangag + itlog) which I had with half a cup of plain rice only, accompanied by a cup of coffee. YUM! The ones below are Mam Bebs' Tapsilog (beef tapa + sinangag + itlog) which I had with half a cup of sinangag, and Mam Beb's Melosilog (meat loaf + sinangag + itlog) which I am having right now only it's not with sinangag but with half a cup of plain rice only. Vocabulary: tocino - cured pork tapa - cured beef sinangag - garlic rice itlog - egg

If you say…

...are you (referring/talking to a married guy) sure you are not related to anybody here? I think I saw you with Ria once. (Not a direct quote but paraphrase of what was actually said.) Doesn't that imply that you think I am somehow related/involved with that married guy? The guy already said he is not related to anybody in the group and yet you ask that question. That line of questioning can only imply that you are doubting his honesty and you think there is something we are hiding. Doesn't that imply that you know how I and the guy look like?

Disclosure 2

Despite the rumors, the whispers, and the jokes... I am not dating a blogger or a DotA player. OK??? GETS?!!! I am not dating any of the people I hang out/work with. Actually, I am not dating anybody. Pero I am accepting applicants. ANUH?! Seriously though, napagtanto ko these past few days... that guys are really more chismoso and intrigero than girls. It's like I'm back in high school. Can't I just hang out/work with guys without anybody giving it any malice?

Walang Pamagat

May mga panahon na dapat lang magsalita, manindigan, ipahiwatig ang dapat ipahiwatig. May mga panahon na dapat lamang ipaglaban ang nararapat. At may mga panahon din, gaya ngayon, na sa aking palagay, mas makakabuti ang pananahimik. Di dahil wala akong paninindigan, di dahil di ako lubusang naniniwala sa aking paninindigan, di dahil nauubusan ako ng masasabi. Ang daming pwedeng sabihin, dapat sabihin. Ngunit sa aking palagay, mas mabuti munang manahimik. Ang dami nang kasangkot. Ang dami nang nangyayari. Iba't-ibang isyu, samu't-saring hidwaan. Kung makikisali pa ako, dagdag lamang sa gulo. Dagdag lamang sa po-problemahin. Pero magsasalita rin ulit sa tamang panahon. Pagkatapos ng lahat, sana may maibungang maganda. Sana may matutunan tayong lahat.

Interview Number 3

I have just finished interviewing Team Chill of Boyztrek. It was draining but also loads of fun. Chill is more light-hearted than Corpo. Fun defines their friendship and the way they play. Ding Lao, the team's mentor was with them. Ding brought with him BhoyMax Julakit, Topher Lopez, and Burnz Flores. Later on, Cocoy Villaroman and sixth man Louie Narshall also arrived. Only Yuki Perez was not available for the interview. Watch out for the complete write-up over at my DotA Blog.
