Sunday has become sort of Glorietta day with shopping buddy Jake. As I was buying my favorite Supreme Mix (pecan, walnuts, almonds, cashw nuts) at the House of Nuts, this certain stand of Xmas carol playing mutts caught my eye. Found them cute that I tried to record it on my celphone. Too bad I'm running out of memory (yeah, yeah.... you cam whore, you!!!!), so there was no other recourse but to have Jake's picture taken instead:
okaaayy.... so the pic looks blurry and amateurish, but I'm sure that if you look closely, you're going to see these three characters (sans Jake... he's too much of a serious dude to do what these mutts do. in short: he does not qualify to be a member of THE Band.) bobbing their mechanical heads to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock. That goes with mechanical foot action too! Kinda funny that it's still JIngle Bell Rock a month too late, but since this is the Philippines, I know we make excuses to extend the holiday season.
Walking along the long stretch of Glorietta, we were also kinda amused by how majority of these stores display this sign:
50% off on all Christmas decors
...Now who in his fucking right mind would put up a Christmas tree on January?!? We just had our tree (which is by the way in a classy rust color motif courtesy of me), taken down the other day and is now taken to the stock room for it's hibernation till November this year so definitely it wouldn't be me. But man!!!! Even if they sell it to me at 75% off, I still wouldn't consider. That would make THIS year's Christmas tree look soooo LAST year.
Wanna see how last year's tree looks like?
trust me... it's definitely much taller than I am
of course, what's under the tree also matters! GIFTIES!!!!

It was my Lola's birthday too yesterday so I decided to make a quick stop at her party. It was the usual... videoke, ballroom dancing, rural booze (tuba), and stuff they make you eat on Fear Factor.
Of course, like with any other reunions, there were the relatives that you know, the relatives you forgot you know, and the relatives that you didn't know you had. Any which way, this is one of those times that I could just let go and act all crazy because these people have no choice but to love you anyway since you're bound by blood. That meant me hogging the microphone and singing till they begin to question the validity of our blood borne relations. 'Twas fun! It also made me think I'm really getting older because I'm beginning to treasure events like these. Refreshing. Too bad I'm too old to be asking for "pamasko" already!
Happy birthday Lola!

Just when you thought you are already old enough for all that high school crap, things like this get into the picture...
"who could resist something as cute as me??"
say hello to Pookie Monster (the name sounds kinda harsh, but that's the name e. :D). A no-reason-at-all gift that gave me reason to doubt my reasons.
