thoughts for food

It's lunch time and i'm here in the office (still).

I have no complaints. The munch hour is hot, sweaty and most of the time, really crowded. Traded that for peace and quiet in a cold office? Nope, not today. Came in late anyway, had a slight mishap i had to take care of. Besides, today i woke up with a splitting headache, a cold so bad i was talking in sign language, and a severely obvious burn on the upper side of my lip. :-P argh.

Good thing i brought a coffee sachet with me. Yum. :-S

I think it was yesterday's thing that finally made me succumb to this health problem. Yesterday was quite uneventful, save for the later part. Did the usual workload (about three hours' worth of work -- everything is pending approval anyway --- surfed the net, did some illustrations, and finished up my book (Neil Gaiman's Stardust -- yeeech.)

Jason and I met up for some gym time. Between the guy hardselling the gym to him and my constant "lastminitis", we pretty much worked out for about 1 1/2 hours only (it wasn't so bad, but i wish i could have joined the classes). I think my body wasn't accustomed to it though --- it's been so long since i went and i guess it was too much.

Just what is it with gyms? My friend Jays was asking me indignantly when we got out of the gym. Apparently, he noticed that some people were, let's just say, more liberated in taking their clothes off in the locker rooms (I guess that freaked him out, because he was in a daze). I was quite amused by the way he said this, having known him to be liberated himself. Funnie guy.

I keep thinking if i should just buy myself something to eat. Then again, i ate pansit for breakfast. I really have to stop eating. I think i'm eating my worries away. Coffee is good...

We had dinner afterwards with his cousin Annaise, who treated us out (there goes all that work! heheh) Had fun catching up on news, as well as being able to enjoy the grilled fish (at least it ain't meat). A friend of ours was gonna get married on Saturday and since Jays is gonna be an "abay" (dunno exactly what that entails but i'm sure he'd be in charge of something :-P) , we had to pass by Allan's house to pick up his barong. Annaise and I pretty much digressed to that after Jays mentioned it --- lotsa people getting knocked up and hitched, i mean (sorry for putting it so crudely). I keep wondering if it's a phenomenon right now, or just a phase. For the past three months, i've heard about five friends of mine who either got hitched or are having buns in their ovens.

Geez. I can't help but be cynical --- the country is going to the dogs but still we as a population is growing at quite an alarming rate. I promise myself not to start my family here, at any time within the next five years. Hopefully then, i'll be somewhere else. As much as i hate to be labelled a traitor to my own country, i have to admit that this is no place to raise a family. I'm lucky that i can afford to even stay here at this point...

My coffee isn't working. I'm still as sleepy as ever. Feeling bloated too. SHIT.

Since he wasn't home yet, we decided to hangout at Figaro, at T.Morato. Pretty nice coffee place, if you ask me. I just love the interiors and the little accents (i mean, those cute little lamps!) Plus their iced tea isn't so bad. Plus, their chocolate cake is to DIE for. hehehe.

I never got to see the barong. By the time we managed to meet up, it was 11pm and i had to go home (was having the chills). Yargh.

this caught my eye earlier. Fun piece.
