Kung Fu Shoes

Okay, here I go again over shoes.

The minute I tell any member of my family that I want a pair of red kung fu shoes, I will never here the end of it. Already, when I told my sister just a few seconds ago on YM, she immediately typed "hahaha!" If she wasn't on meebo, she'd probably have that rolling-on-the-floor-laughing emoticon. Auntie Lirio memories notwithstanding, I really don't care. I'm just concerned that when the material gets wet, the color will run and stain my feet. (Which the seller assures me won't.)

What's wrong with kung fu shoes anyway? Particularly a red pair? I was randomly checking out multiply sites, when I came upon this one. The first photo album was on the kung fu shoes that were on sale. Check on the link, and tell me if it's just not the most practical (if not froufrou) pair of shoes. (By the way, I'm getting the plain pair, can't have those embellishments. With my luck and skill, they'll be popping out within minutes of wearing them, leaving sad loose threads.)

Going back to the photo album on Irene's site, the title was what caught my attention. "...As Seen on Pirates of the Carribean..." If I had that album and I were to type a title, it would be: "...as seen from your first grade nightmares..." I used to wear kung fu shoes. (Ok, no smart remarks on the age please.) And I remember running around all over school on all sorts of terrain in them. There were no teasing back then, because everybody was wearing them. But it doesn't mean that we liked them.

I can just imagine my parents doubling over with laughter if I come home wearing them. There'll be a lot of told-you-so's and Auntie Lirio's name would be mentioned in each sentence they can manage. Oh well. I'm still getting the red pair. I think it's practical. And fab. =P

It's creepy, because if you turn him into a girl, he's exactly like this person I know....

Rock Ed Yearbook 2007

Remember highschool, when there was one day that you had to behave in front of the camera for yearbook photos? Rock ed did the same thing, except there was nothing "behaved" about the poses.

Spiderman 3, A Review

The thing that keeps repeating in my head all through out the movie was that the movie ticket cost Php171.

For a movie that lasted almost 200 minutes, I found the plot pretty much watered down. Sabog. There was no central theme and it seems like every idea that surfaced during production meetings were crammed into this film. There were too many loopholes as well. The characters were not fully developed.

The effects were definitely good, but then it's what can be expected. Especially after the awesome computer magic in Spiderman 2. (I loved Spiderman 2!)

There was a cameo of Miggy Chavez of Chicosci in the film. (You'll know what I mean, when you see it.)

The movie house was noisy at some point. People were getting bored with some scenes. There were a group of guys behind me who kept opening cans of what I thought was coke until I caught the scent of beer.

Again, the thought that kept repeating in my head all through out the movie was that the movie ticket cost Php171.

Nards at Men's Health All-Terrain Race 2006

Nards took most of the photos. And if you're one minute and fifty seconds into the clip, you'll see him at work (guy in shades in an orange shirt pointing the camera.)

Early Morning

It's funny if you think about it. Today, all of us are early in the office. Leslie was here first at 7:30. (Yep, you read it right, s-e-v-e-n-t-h-i-r-t-y-i-n-t-h-e-m-o-r-n-i-n-g.) I was so shocked I almost dropped my croissant and tall cup of decaf cafe latte with almond syrup (Ahehe. I thought I'd put it in. Starbucks is a luxury that I can live without, but I indulge in on a day like this.) Oh joy!!! She brought loads of Oishi Bread Pan. Yummy. Denis trailed in after a half hour or so. He was surprised for a bit, and went on to complain about a party last night. (Bless his heart. He complains about parties.) Well, at least no one is not that grumpy. Leslie discovered that traffic is uber uber light during the early hours of the morning. And that it's not that hot. Yet.

Okay, nag-away/flirt na naman sila. Over a pack of Bread Pan. And then one of them insulted the other. The other wanted to return the bread pan (but refused to turn it over -- anlabo.) (Pag kayong dalawa nagkatuluyaaannnn...)

Then there was the story of the lost number of a certain Rock Ed vendor. After 54 expletives, 3 oil control films, several rounds of diner dash on my phone, it was finally found.

What a very early morning, indeed.

Two Hours

That's the amount of sleep I get every night in between trips to the bathroom to pee. It's so hot and humid at night, that I just drink several glasses of water before I dive into bed. Those glasses of water promptly wake me up after two hours. I stumble to the bathroom. Pee. Go to the kitchen. Drink more water. And then two hours later you know what happens. It's a cycle that I'm unable to get out off.

Of course, during the day, I drink more more more water. I go through about three quarters of a gallon during the time I'm sitting in the office. Which means, I zip through the bathroom every 20 mins or so. I don't care. Ang init sa earth!

Have to go. Bathroom break.
