Ilocano in Me

So I searched amazon for interesting books i found from some friend's reading list, armed with my list I went to powerbooks which by the way is on sale for the whole of August.

As I browsed through some, I just couldn't get myself to get the book and proceed to the counter and pay. Mostly likely I will browse for another book and see if it's much more deserving of my "investment".

In the end, I went home empty handed.

Namamahalan talaga ako sa books.

The chances that I will re-read them again are so slim that I would so prefer to just borrow.

Pity me.

Maybe I should let myself be ran over by used Harleys ;p

Funny kind of sad

One fine day, Dani hugged me and said..

"Laki Mami!"

blech to diet pills!

Topic during our commute last night was child memories - unusual food you ate when you were a kid. Here's a few I remember:

Rice with any or all of the following toppings: Milo/Ovaltine/Birch Tree/Nido/Sugar
Pouring brewed batangas coffee on plain rice
Star Margarine Rice
Palakang buntis - my Apong Babae (grandma) will stuff the stomach of frog with ground pork (i think) and deep fry

One grade school summer afternoon, I had nothing better to do and decided to climb the guava tree beside my grandparents house. Perched on a thin (but sturdy) branch, with the flowing brown river and green rice fields as my backdrop, I sang my heart out.

I could care less whenever a bangkero passes by every now and then.

I do think I woke up the pigs ;p
