An Open Letter to the One Who Loves My Friend

This one is for the guy who has finally captured the heart of my fab friend Kring aka FunnySexy... Dear you, It is quite obvious that Kring has fallen in love with you. I have not yet. This is a warning my dear boy... A lot of people love Kring dearly and I am one of those people. So please do take care of her and do not make her cry. Else you will suffer the wrath of throngs and I mean throngs of people including her family, relatives, friends, blog readers, and fangirls. Kring is a fabulous, nice, talented, beautiful person and she deserves to be happy. Make her happy. Take care of her and love her sincerely and faithfully. Do not add to her stress. Inspire her to help her become the most kick-ass person she can be. Otherwise... JOGULE! (Yes, I know a bit of Koryan... and a whole lot of Tae Kwan Do!) I am watching you.

36 Hours

The past few years, I tend to either get bored out of brains or do crazy things on Holy Week. This year, as with last year, I did a crazy thing: stay awake and active for 38 hours. What started out as a simple get together with our poker friends ended up as a saga of stamina, strength, and willpower. I woke up 3 pm Thursday and started preparing to go out with my friend for the planned 4 pm meet-up. I got to sleep at 5 am of Saturday. What happened within those 36 hours of being together was nothing short of Big Brother-ish. Some of us went home for an hour or so to take a bath and change clothes. Some were not around for more than half a day. But most of us were just there, with each other. There were around 10 or so guys in the group, but only two of us girls. Most of us are in the same age group, late twenties to early thirties. And there were several points when I asked myself "How did I get to this point in my life and how did I even get to be friends…

No Fried Chicken this April

After much success with No Softdrinks in February and No Rice in March, I am eating no fried chicken this April. I just realized how much fried chicken I eat. :-& It's not healthy at all. I think I eat at Jollibee or McDonald's at least twice a week. And I usually order 2 pieces of fried chicken. Sorry na. Add to that the occasional meals at Sunburst, Papa Ching's, Yellow Fin, and other local restaurants that serve yummy greaseless fried chicken. So for the month of April, I am not eating any fried chicken. Wish me luck! :)
