isaw love

this post is brought to you by my love of isaw and my ability to eat a hundred pesos worth of isaw in one sitting. :)


i discovered my love for isaw while i was in college. i think UP Diliman has the best isaw in the country. (though my housemates tell me that the isaw in tagaytay is much, much better.)

Mang Larry's isaw (near kalayaan residence hall) and the one across the law building (formerly isaw-ilang as it was located across ilang-ilang residence hall in my college years) were two of my favorite isaw spots (i prefer the latter, though). but sometime within the last two years, my housemates introduced me to Maong's (which is just a brief walk from where we live). since then, Maong's isaw has been kinda like the official isaw of our inuman sessions at home.

the photos above were taken by my housemate for one of his fraternity brothers using my digital camera. taking the opportunity, i had him buy 60 pesos worth of chicken isaw which i quickly devoured for dinner. 

note: if you happen to come across this blog and have no idea what isaw is, it's grilled chicken/pork intestines.

of motivation

today, i learned to use a non-working lighter to light up another non-working lighter. very useful skill, i tell you. :P

SEE. :) learning really is based on motivation and need. i wanted to smoke. i had 2 lighters (both non-working) and a pack of marlboro lights.

kinda reminds me of when i learned to open a can of corned beef using a knife. another useful skill. :)

now, i can live alone in an uninhibited island with just a knife, a supply of canned goods, 2 non working lighters and reams of cigarettes...

if you know me though, you'll know i'm kidding with that last part about living in an island. :P

la isla bonita

Ayt. So this one's not really with the whole team but with my 2 best buddies from MAA, Sha and Jays. I can not and will not imagine what my life in MAA would've been without you guys.

Marinduque. May 20-24, 2009.

white sand. clear water. almost-private island. frustration with tan lines. me being sick (as usual) while out of town.

this is how summer is supposed to be (sans the sick part).

summer of '09. good times. :)

priorities

i like making schedules. it helps me get organized and gives me a sense of urgency to get things done. :) my schedules do not get followed most of the time but hey, it still helps me get things done faster than i would've without it. :) so this is me, prioritizing and getting my afternoon all-scheduled-up.

today's sched:

12pm-2pm - watch pretty woman (because yes, i haven't watched it yet)

1pm-2pm - take a bath (yes, i take really long baths)

2pm-4pm - write paper for school

4pm-5pm - pack for QC

*will update this list later to see how much of it i've followed.

time check. 12:03pm time to watch a movie. :)

2:10pm - done with movie. off to take a bath.

2.50pm - done with taking a bath and changing clothes. magsusuklay na lang then off to work on some essays. :)

4:20pm - got distracted by FB chat. ngaun pa lang mag sisimula sa essay.

priorities: an FB chatlog

4.33pm - 2 essays to edit +4 essays left to construct. i decided to get "offline". FB has been too much of a distraction.

plurk status: exhibit A of my attempt to finish the essays. :P

6:15pm - dooooneee! :) not my best work, though. i swear my brain is like a rusted-hasn't-been-used-for-so-long machine. it's in desperate need of  some oiling up! but anyway, here it is!

the final product! agh! see what i did with the spacing?! horrible!

Ayt! imma go get my stuff ready now! looking forward to going back to QC! must leave the house before 7pm! off to get stuff fixed! :)

7:51pm - logging off from the computer. off to kyusi! :)

see, i'm only about 3 hrs behind my schedule! :P

don't go chasing waterfalls

true to my reminiscing phase.

Team Chris Majayjay trip (Nov 25-27, 2008).

I think this was the first ever trip we went to together, as a team. Although technically I was no longer part of the team that time. Still, these people will always be the coolest teammates I ever had. Miss you lots, guys. See u sat! :)

pure shores (take me to the beach)

natry mo na bang magpictorial a-la survivor sa beach?

i miss my former teammates/travel friends. and since i'm seeing these guys on saturday, i will be reminiscing some of our previous out of town trips in this blog. my entries for the next few days will be about them as well so magsawa kayo s mukha namin. haha. let's travel back in time. starting... NOW! :)

THIS IS....

Team Chris



OUTWIT. OUTPLAY. OUTLAST.

San Juan, Batangas (Jan 30-Feb 1, 2009).

from an impromptu tagaytay trip

i've wanted to go to sonya's garden since.. well i don't really remember how long i've wanted to go there pero matagal na talaga. more than 5 years na cause i remember discussing it with a friend way back in college. ewan ko ba. for some reason naaamaze ako sa thought ng pagkain ng bulaklak. :P
