Lunch-hour Teenage Dad
Babies. They're some of the cutest living creatures on Earth. But taking care of one of them for a mere 15 minutes can drain the life out of a fat 21-year old.I love my god-daughter Mika, but hey, try running around Landmark for 15 minutes straight, with no rest, while worrying that the kid hopefully does not get lost or bumps her head is somewhere, is probably the most exhausting activity I've had the past 21 years. That may be an exaggeration but I'm trying to make a point. :p
I looked like a teen-age dad (I know I'm 21 and I don't look nearly like a teenager but I'm still relatively young though) running after his baby girl.
So I pledge to keep the crib empty until I'm ready to run after a hyper kid again.

The Traffic that was Worth It
As I've blogged earlier, some friends and I had an awesome roadtrip to Alabang last Wednesday. I texted Minneli that I think we should leave Ortigas really early since we might encounter SLEX traffic due to Pres. Aquino's burial. So we agreed to meet up by 7am at GCF. But we all know what happens if things are planned at such an ungodly hour. :) Regardless, we left GCF at 7:45am. Lo and behold, there was no traffic, so we arrived at Alabang really early. After the whole day rest, we headed for home.
And the traffic that we tried to avoid earlier that day, materialized that very afternoon. It was just really bad. It was moving but on such a turtle speed. Right after the Sucat exit was this:
And this went one til forever. The fence separating the express way and the service road was filled with supporters, by-standers and merely curious people, all waiting to see the arrival of Pres. Aquino's coffin. People even climbed roofs and billboards just to be able to catch a glimpse of the President before she was laid to rest at the Manila Memorial.
All these, to have a last look at the former President who was a vital instrument in restoring democracy for the Filipino people. And despite the traffic, no temper rose, because we all understood that what was going on was historic. What was before us was once in a lifetime. This was traffic that I didn't loathe to experience.
This was a President that the Filipino people loves because of her dedication. This was a President who fought despite threats for her life. This was a President who proved that "the Filipino is worth dying for." This was a President who had the people's interest at top most priority. No, she isn't perfect but she does deserve credit.
And in all honesty I ask, is the current President capable of such things? Would Mikee and Luli feel the same support the Filipino gave Noynoy and Kris, if it were them at the same circumstance.
I highly doubt that.
The first three photos are my shots using RJ's camera except the last photo which he shot. :)
Hangover at Alabang

We left Ortigas really early (and that would be my fault, right Minneli? haha.) We arrived at Alabang really early too! Even if we missed our Alabang exit, who would have thought that the Filinvest exit was closed? And the rest of the day was spent on talking about a lot of things - alcohol, poverty, money and high school relationships among others (Don Robin had nothing to say about all of them haha), swimming, jumping in all means possible, eating corned beef and tuna (oh Abi's was special due to the presence of the tomato and onion combo), watching The Hangover, taking weird photos and driving through the Cory-supporting-people ridden SLEX. But that would be another blog entry.

This was a holiday well spent :)

The Hangover
Funny as hell hahaha although it's not your conventional humor that one would expect from films form the same genre. This one takes a little bit of IQ haha :p and watching it with sabaw friends - Andrew, Minelli, Abi, RJ and Jacq - during a rainy afternoon is just fun :)
