For the past couple of weeks I've been eating like a bird (if a bird eats this little). There has been no results showing on my body as of present but I do feel better.  

Anyhow, I have been pigging out today. And when I mean pigging out, it means that I have been eating more than the usual. I have taken in a whole combo meal from Jollibee, a cone of ice cream, and a cup of rice with my favorite malunggay with pasa-pasa.  

And so my stomach feels too full. And I mean too full for words.  

When I went to Ate Pinky's, she cooked carbonara and I was forced to eat. Kakahiya kasi. And now, I'm feeling totally bloated. If you think about it, I've been eating more than 2 days worth of what I usually take in. So I'm not if I'm feeling like this.  

Yikes. Me. Pig.

where do you find the best beer in town? surely not in my home. but there is this one place here in legazpi city where drinking beer is the best.

yes, i'm pertaining to chili peppers. it is located just right along the road. the place is cozy, the waiters are friendly, the service is okay, the beer is just priced right, and it looks sophisticated enough. no, i'm not telling you this because i'm a stockholder of some sort. no, i'm just an avid customer and i really love the place.

unlike some other places i've been to, chili peppers is sure better.

i've tried drinking it up in hendriquitos. what i didn't like about the place was that it was too far off. i mean, you had to walk still to get to the place. what if you were already drunk and dizzy? how are you going to get home in the stark of night?

then there's ninong's. oh please. ninong's used to be okay but come to think of it, the place seems not to be maintained anymore.

and there's also chateau noveau. if you like to drink in silence, then this is going to be your place. but no offense to frank, my companions and i didn't quite like it there. the beer was too pricey, the pulutan was not so delicious and it was quite a while before it was served, and we feel like the rest of the world can hear our laughter.

bar101? that's kid stuff. i mean, high school? too high school?

of course, swaisi. the place is pretty okay and you get karaoke. however, i think you'd have to find a car of your own first to get to the place. it's that far off too. but one of our bosses likes it there so we often frequent the place when he's here.

but so far, it's still chili peppers for us. cozy. comfortable. classy. but not pricey. haha. i mean, most days, the place is packed and i mean packed. and then, we would have to wait and rush to be able to use the table. and foreigners are flocking there. just last night, there were a couple of tables of foreigners and they were not just one group. and one group caught my companions' attention because one of the girls was pretty. but that's another story.

Yesterday, Raziel and I went to Gaisano. We went around while she took care of some stuff. Then, we headed out to the jeepney stop to go to Chili Peppers.  

As we were walking the long stretch inside Gaisano to get to the jeepney terminal, I was so lost in thought. There were plenty of people around since it was a Sunday. Raziel and I could not walk side by side because it really was so crowded. So I was walking ahead of her and she was somewhere behind me.  

And I saw him. Well, Ian actually. I saw him coming up ahead with his father behind him. I saw him looking at me. I don't know if I'm supposed to greet him or what. So I decided not to do anything and just wait for him to do something. He did not do anything and did not seem to recognize me and so I just remained as if I was just strolling in the mall and did not recognize him (as well).  

But somewhere behind them was Ate Joy and his mother. I saw Ate Joy looking at me. Then, here comes Raziel loudly catching up with me and saying, "Di ba si jowa mo ito?" (Isn't that your boyfriend?)  

Huwat?!  

I think she said it just loud enough for Ate Joy and Ian's mother to hear. Haha. Goodluck.  

I don't know what else I said to Raziel after that. I only distinctly remember saying, "Jowa?"  

Raziel did explain though that she was catching up to me because she saw Ian, too, and that he looked familiar. She has not yet seen Ian in person before. So when she saw Ian and Ian was looking at me, she wanted to tell me so that I would see him. She, of course, did not know that his other relatives were just somewhere around. She also did tell me that when she looked back, she saw Ate Joy smiling. Haha. Well, it was an honest mistake I guess.

God. Maybe they're thinking that I'm telling people that Ian's still my jowa. So just in case any of their family is reading this, I'm not telling people that Ian is still my jowa. They know my story and they know what happened between us. And they have just been asking for pictures of the guy. And somehow, they found some old ones (online).

And that's the end of story. Honest mistakes do happen and this one's just priceless.

It is yet another Monday. Although it is officially my rest day, there are only a few Mondays when I can actually get some rest. I used to be able to rest during those early times with this job but as time passes, I started to work Mondays and Sundays even.  

So now I’m still here at home but soon enough, I’ll be preparing myself for work. Well, not that I need tons of preparations just to go to work.  

Well, I also do hate today, this certain Monday. It has got nothing to do with the date or whatsoever. It’s just that after going down with my mind still in sleep mode, I was told that last night, I was not able to lock the gate properly. And I would have had to go home pretty early if I wanted to sleep inside the house.  

Then my mother started yakking about me not buying my son’s milk and that I had the money to treat my friends and not the money for my son and for my family. Let me dissect that statement first.  

First off, I buy milk for my baby. When I have the money. Last night, I did not feel like taking out some cash from my ATM account. So I decided that I would buy later today. And I know that when I am told to buy milk, I always find a good carton of milk when I get home.  

Second, about that buying things for my family. When I do buy stuff for them like groceries, they don’t even use them. So what’s the point in buying something that they don’t even use? God.  

Sheesh. I don’t know what piece to say. I feel like this ain’t a good way to start the week.  

i have been hearing nina's 'someday' for days now. in fact, the other night, when i was about to go home, the jeep i was riding in was playing that song. then last night, while at ate pinky's she chose to play 'someday'. oh well. and we were all joking just how we all should just listen to the lyrics and then reflect on the message. no way jose!

anyhow, here's the lyrics.

Someday Nina

Someday you'll gonna realize
One day you'll see through my eyes
But then i won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if i can't

I know
You dont really see my worth
You think your the last guy on earth
Well i've got news for you
I know i'm not that strong
But it won't take long
Won't take long

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, i want you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day i'll forget about you
You'll see, i won't even miss you
Someday, someday

But now
I know you can't tell
I'm down,and i'm not down anyway
But one day these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry
Sweet goodbye
