Rice Chronicles #1

Photo Credit: betterhealth.vic.gov.au

I'm on a journey towards losing weight. I used to say that I don't really care if the "daddy-tummy" is starting to develop. (no, I ain't a dad yet, I promised to keep the crib empty remember? hehe) Since I think that despite having one, I'd still get paid with what I do anyway. I don't use my flabs to think and write in the first place. And so, I continued with my day to day living without caring on the amount of food I eat (and my officemates would tell you that I've been eating a lot) But I realized very recently that the "daddy-tummy" development has to stop. And here I am, embarking on a road that I've taken before - I ain't gonna eat rice at least until our concert day on September 6.

Yesterday was my first day for the no-rice diet and I was successful! For breakfast, I ate Cream-O and coffee. For lunch, we ate at Chowking and I ate pancit bihon and siopao. And for dinner, I ate pancit canton and fried eggs. Yeah yeah, you'll tell me that what I ate aren't so healthy either. But then again, they're not carbs from rice so it's all good for me :p

Until when will I last? I don't know. The rice grains' pull is strong, but I'm the one with the brain. So I guess it's all up to me.

UP, up and away!

Watched Disney/Pixar's UP with my growth group last night.

And it's just awesome! Sans the effort to rationalize the amount of realism the film has - talking dogs and multi-colored cross-breed dodo bird and ostrich - the massive amount of scientific inconsistencies just makes the animated feature more fun and entertaining. Talking dogs? You get the picture.

Some scenes are tear-jerkers - at least to the awesome girl two seats away from me - and some have LOLs written all over it.

Carl, Ellie, Russell, Dug and Kevin prove that an adventure despite the inevitable danger along the way, is still an adventure worth taking. And in Carl's case, it was an adventure he had to do with a crossed heart.

As always, the Disney/Pixar partnership delivers an animated film that is not just for kids but for adults with juvenile hearts.

So far, all of the films that they have made that I've watched - Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up (I have not watched both Toy Stories and A Bug's Life, I'm a loser that way) - I always get the same feeling after.

I'm not sure what it is, but others call it "heart-warming".

Two Parties and a Night

Sounds fun? Not really. Especially if the other party is actually not work.

While everybody else around you is gyrating to the thumping sounds of house and trance, your truly walked around with a pen and notebook in hand.

My job? To write down the names of every person that the photographer would take a picture of. Sounds fun? To some extent, yes it was. But at some point, I was aching to dance already. :)

The event was Big Fish's GodsKitchen Worldwide with DJ Sander Van Doorn and it was awesome. This is my second Big Fish event and i can't wait for the next.

Was never a fan of house music until I went to Big Fish's Innovation White party which I then wrote about for Spot.ph. And I am a fan since.

The second party was a walk away from Big Fish since it was also at a.Venue but this was at Attica Bar. It is RX 93.1's 90's party.

This time, I didn't have to walk around taking down people's names. I was just there, chillin' with Kat Cruz and Gabb Agapito. We soon left the party and settled to just sit and talk inside a.Venue.

Got home by 4am. And boy was I sleepy the day after.

Two parties in one night was fun. But heck, I'd give anything to catch the ZzZzZzZzZzs lost. :D

Dada Docot's Sablay

In reference to the piece of clothing, UP students wear during the commencement exercises.

I remember when I wore mine not too long ago. I am not ashamed to say that it's probably one of my proudest moments. Not everyone are able to experience the privilege of studying in such a school. But wearing it also bears a huge responsibility.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

This is EPIC!

My Hesitant Feet

I'd kill for this one. I'm kidding.
