more today than yesterday

an old yet familiar tune...this one sung by The Spiral Staircase...

you and me always...and forever

Because someone shared this cute commercial thru my facebook... this is now one of my LSS... it's an old song I know...but it's cute!

I wonder to whom I can say...you and me always...and forever... yessssss! haha

You and Me Always

by Wannadies

Always when we fight
I try to make you laugh
Til everything's forgotten
I know you hate that

ba ba da da ba ba ba ba (2x)

Always when we fight
I kiss you once or twice
And everything's forgotten
I know you hate that

I love you Sunday song
The week's not yet begun
And everything is quiet
And it's always...

You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always
You and me always..

You tell me I'm a real man
and try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it

Now we watch TV
Til we fall asleep
Not very exciting
But it's you and...

Me and we'll always be together
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always...
You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always...
You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba ba....
ba ra ra

thank God for friends... quotable quotes...

I'm known, at least in my close circle of college friends, to contact these guys whenever there is a getogether of sorts...tho it seems that through the years...our group is dwindling for some reason or another... especially now that our recent get together was for MC... our barkada is off to Australia...for an adventure! as in! would you believe she would be living there on her own as in no relatives! haha...and no work yet! wohoo! I jokingly told her...she'd find her special someone there eventually am sure of it! haha and now she has no reason not to keep in touch coz she would not have anything else to do but go online to keep in touch with us here...thru YM! haha... am also eager about her travel blog which she plans to do once she gets to Australia...

so speaking of friends and get together...Za, MC, Val and her husband Aris and Alexis...are the usual faces I see in every get together haha... blame it on the proximity - we all live down South except for Za and now Val and Aris who reside in QC - but hey they all have cars of their own... ako lang naman ang matiyaga na dinadayo un kitakits namin eh...but am not complaining mind you!

As long as there is always a Starbucks stopover game ako! haha and to think we did not stay that long...but enjoyed myself immensely as usual...

Alexis: Hindi nga Kit seryoso ako...sino gusto mo diyan?!

And these group of peeps are witness to my latest embarrassing moment...

There is good peer pressure and there is bad peer pressure haha! They know when my birthday will be...and since we all are of the same age anyway...they thought of things - ABSURD things! for me to do before i leave my teenage years!... hey! they should have thought of their own list too for their bday! but of course...I'm the gullible one and they thought of ten absurd challenges for me to do... and they gave me until my birthday to do it!?!?!

OMG! Peer pressure ito! hahaha

Kit: ayokong mag-assume pero...invited ba ko sa kasal mo?

Let me give you a backstory to this...a very long one I believe...

You see personally I treasure my friends...all of them... hs, college, work, colleagues, sittizens, gimik buddies whatever I may call them... and I usually label them based on the degree or level of friendship or how long I've known them...and this helps me prioritize I guess is the word... like for example... if there are certain friends that I haven't seen in a long time...and they invite me to this get together which coincides with another kitakits with friends that I usually meet anyway...of course it's a given that I'd choose the former...basta yun gets nyo na yun...

But when it comes to weddings and invitations... I have a different take on that...in the sense that whenever I get invited... and I get to be invited to a few - beside the fact that only a few of my friends are getting married anyway haha - I really make sure that I go and attend... coz I know that they spend for the seat - just imagine a reception seat costs around P500 per plate? I think! am not sure but u catch my drift... So as not to add to the worry of the bride that they have to limit the guests to this number or they worry if hs or college friends will get pised when they don't get invited because there are a lot of family and extended relatives to be considered... I go out of my way and frankly tell my friends... you know what it's ok that you don't include me anymore - at least I don't get to worry about what to wear too! hahaha....

Case in point... my officemate...who I've known for roughly 2 years...will be getting married this May... and everyone in the office knows about it of course since she asks for our opinion with regard to her wedding souvenirs and other preparations and stuff... and I already expressed to her... that it's ok for her not to include me in her wedding invites to ease her expenses... and besides she needs to consider first family and relatives - and she has A LOT of relatives to consider mind you - and close friends - and since I've just known her for a short time I don't consider myself as one of her close friends but just one of her colleagues... but she just assured me that everyone at work is invited anyway

Another more recent friend of mine is getting married this year... I don't want to give the date... baka maunsyami! haha... and as usual...despite her including me in her "talks" with regard to her wedding preparations and her "wedding planning activities"... I'm still apprehensive and I don't want to assume... coz honestly for me... a wedding is an intimate event for family and close friends... so am kinda unsure... of my "friendship" with her... but one thing i am is frank!... so I ended up asking her point blank...whether I am really invited to her wedding coz i really don't want to assume... and she said.... No! I'm not! hahahahaha

In answer to a Starbucks barista's query: "i'm a music lover, but the music doesn't love me back "

For 2 straight nights I've been spending my time in my fave place on this earth - a Starbucks cafe! haha... and just wanted to compare my 2 recent experiences... that the baristas in both the Starbucks I went to were...uber friendly! I guess you may call it...

When we were at Starbucks Bluewave... the barista gave this bonus coupon to my friend...and while the barista was explaining...I butted in and explained that it was a survey she had to answer to get a free drink...the barista further explained that she can say whether or not mabait sila or whatever...and unfortunately they were not in the mood (he mockingly said this) haha... the other barista also commented that how did I know about the coupon..I said that I already received 2 coupons like that... and he replied that maybe I frequent Starbucks alot! he had no idea! and he went on to ask whether I have a particular branch...and I sad that I didn't...basta Starbucks kahit saan oks sakin...how jovial can you get!...and that was also the first time I heard the baristas gaily greet a customer a Happy Birthday! I don't know though how they knew that - I guess she was a regular already haha...

Speaking of friendly baristas.... I was with friends at Starbucks yesterday...again.... for a get-together of sorts...again haha... and the barista there noticed our group... coz goodness! - I was there since around 330pm I think... and one by one the others came...it was so hot the sun was still up and we left the place around 8pm i think when the sun more than left!...the place was not full anyway and we were noticeable since we were having fun swapping stories... so anyway... when one of my friend - well 2 of my friends, which we found out later - made their orders... the female barista chatted them up... and simply asked... what brought us to Starbucks or what gorup we were, something to that effect... and she simply said... that we had common interests... love of music... and she went further and joked with the barista by saying "i'm a music lover, but the music doesn't love me back " haha

pakbet pizza with SPIT

so before you get grossed out with what you've read so far...this isn't any Fear Factor challenge whatsoever...this is just what I thought of to grab your attention...

you know how we make word associations right?... so this is what I am to do as I continue on with this..pakbet....pizza...spit....hope you have an average IQ so you can follow along or maybe some quirky way of thinking so you can understand my wave of thought....

*****

Pakbet

I was hungry when I arrived at Mag-net Cafe and upon reading the menu...what drew my eye was one of their specialties...I really just had to take a picture...coz that's the only tim eI would get near any Pakbet Pizza! wahahaha

Don't get your hopes up coz I didn't order THAT!

What we did ended up ordering was this Filo-wrapped Sisig...hmmmm curious...curious...and we were quite anxious - me and mJ - coz it might be one of those Hooters mini burger scenario all over again haha - but wow! though it is the same in size - I mean it too was MINI...it was delicious!...wonder if I'd get to find this food in some other resto?...or maybe we can try it out at home...it seems easy enough to do....yeah right! as if i Cook! hahaha

mJ enjoyed her bite-sized sisig

Filo-wrapped Sisig

isn't it obvious that I liked what I was eating?!

we also had chicken wings and wasabi french fries! yikes!

*****

Pizza

You know that pizzas have different flavors...sizes...and slices right?...though we didn't get to order one that night...I thought of comparing the show to pizza coz it had the same qualities...sweet...spicy...deliciously (funny!)..appetizing...and making you want for more! nyahaha

Slices...What's the max number of slices one can make on a pizza? 18? haha...If you were to order a pizza which had different flavors for each slice...that would better describe the quirky personalities comprising this group of people - SPIT or better known as Silly People's Improv Theater...they may have different comic styles and antics - a sweet lady, an English speaking nerd, a Filipino teacher, a Jewish cutie and Doraemon!...but put them all together...they make one hell of a pizza! Where can I order for more?

*****

SPIT

Silly People's Improv Theater, better known as SPIT...was the reason I set off for Katipunan QC on a Thursday night...huwat?!?! I've heard a little about this group of people...from my Sittizens friends of course...and since I didn't have work that Thursday...i thought why not jump on the offer...I had nothing else to do anyway...

And boy was I entertained!...I loved the concept of them interacting with the audience...it's like the audience is part of the scriptwriting...coz they ask for topics from the audience..a.nd they come up with this sily skits and scenarios...and they were performing to an honest crowd - meaning they laugh when they want to and just keep quiet if you don't tickle their fancy haha...

I liked their games!...they gave me ideas for some activities we can use in school...nyahaha...Also the show made me realize how corny jokes are downright funny...

You know how I tend to word associate?...and so to better explain the title of this post...so here goes = pakbet - veggies - which I don't eat right? haha - so I eat meat...any meat...and interestingly enough...alot of the quotes or topics that night was all about meat or animals...

During their "jeopardy" game...one contestant posed as Ms. Piggy =P...and one of the topics was Shakespeare...they asked the audience for an answer in relation to Shakespeare and I shouted out - Hamlet!..."Ms. Piggy approached the mic and said... "What is the name of my son?"

Another game which involved 2 guys from SPIT, they had to enact a situation involving an argument between 2 guys...and the host asked for a topic...and someone shouted out...Chicken! huh?! how can 2 guys argue about chicken?!?! well they did "argue about chicken" and made the crowd happy they settled their issues haha...

And this is what made me really really laugh...I forgot what the game was called...I think it was their Survivor game...and we had to vote out someone least funny by clapping our hands the loudest...gets?! So asking for an old testament story from the audience...someone suggested...The Ten Commandments...and they all started giving out their one-liners...and the guy who won kept on dancing and "praising the golden calf"...hahaha sorry but you had to be there!

The Oracle had all the answers to your bizaare questions

I knew it was familiar coz I saw this before...

See that...i told you it was familiar hahaha

*****

And I just can't let this pass without being corny...there was this one game...we just had to give a letter...and any noun that starts with that letter...and the SPIT team comes up with a joke about it...

F....Florida...
Anong damit ang sinusuot sa Florida?... ANO? Eh di Pang-Beach...

S...Susi...
Saan nagluluto ang susi?...SAAN?...Eh di sa keychain...
Anong ginawa ng isang susi sa isa pang susi?...ANO? Eh di kini-keys...

Y...Yogurt...
Bakit mayayaman lang kumakain ng yogurt?...BAKIT? Kasi sila lang may culture?...
Sorry but they got stumped by that one and had to ask for another letter...hahaha

I forgot the other jokes and other games...so you better just try and catch their stints at Mag-net Cafe Katipunan and at Hi-Street...or just better check out their site at spitmania.multiply.com

i never felt so frustrated!

last night was the seniors' ball at the New World Renaissance Hotel...aside from arriving late since I had to commute...I knew I would be rather disappointed coz I did not have a camera with me...

and i never felt so frustrated...coz my kids were so beautiful and daper and elegant and posh and...you know what I mean...they were all made up and really took the time to meet their depiction of HOLLYWOOD CASINO!...they had movie posters outside...of course they had their photos taken first like any red carpet movie premiere...and my neck had a crick for having to crane my neck left and right throughout the night looking at all of their outfits... I had 3 males all in white suits...a few of the guys had fedora hats...another guy was wearing a silver gray suit with black silk lapels and his date was in a blue off-shoulder gown - they complemented each other and won couple of the night - there were ladies wearing cocktail dresses sporting the modern day Paris Hilton look...while other ladies were in the 50s mode with the black little dresses, and feather and nets accentuating their hairs...I saw a lot of Grecian goddesses...seen also guys in a bow tie! take note...while a lot of my ladies wore off shoulder gown which emphasized their slim figures...

Gawd! if only I had a camera with me!

Oh and by the way...did I tell you I had my picture taken with Audrey Hepburn?!! haha she won as queen of the night...

I'd really have to scourge the multiply and facebook accounts of my kids and grab lotsa of photos from them...

Oh I maybe frustrated about this...but I enjoyed myself for sure!

congrats Batch 2009!

of course...

I didn't miss my kids' graduation day last March 27...

and no! I didn't get teary eyed...

well almost! haha

CONGRATS BATCH 2009!
