Sleepwalker

Having trouble waking up during mornings again. (Like always, going to sleep is easy.) And that means I am having problems getting to work on time and have incurred my first and second "late" for the current work term. It also means I have been feeling sluggish at times even though I know I am getting enough rest. Except for the couple of tardiness, work has not been affected though, my bosses would be glad to know.

Hmmn. Vacation, anyone? December is just around the corner. DL HK is on a Halloween theme. Have not seen that before.

Snoopy Be Damned

The Red Barons, went out for the first time the other day, my new line, as part of the DCPH-Toy Kingdom-Hotwheels Dino Trick Tracks Exhibit.



















They got a good amount of attention, and a few inquiries. I am quite happy with that. Hopefully, we get to see more of the "not usual" coming up during exhibits.

Gigantic, big big love.

This blog has been thoroughly neglected. I was never busy all those days, only lazy. Fact, lazier than ever. I have never been known to be NOT lazy. People would be surprised if they find out that I actually have a job.

Well, let us get it on with a bunch of blog entries.


28 August

Just got back from Makansutra. The food was okay and really filling. I loved the Char Kway Teow, the Pad Thai was good too, as well as the dimsum (though I missed out on the Hakaw). Little Popot had her noodles with soup (I forgot the name), and enjoyed 2 servings of the Fish and Chips. I had no problem loading up on the Bandung with Chichaw and the Michael Jackson, which is a soya based drink (I think). Big thanks to Gene of Makansutra, who greeted us right at the door and was a really gracious, not to mention generous, host all through out. We brought home a few nice prizes from the raffle for Philmug members. 









(Sorry, no pictures of the food. I was too busy gobbling them up.)

If you want to try out some good Singaporean/Malay dishes, Makansutra Asian Food Village is at the 2nd floor of the Manila Ocean Park Complex.


23 August

Finally went to see Disney Pixar's UP today. 3D is the way to go for this kind of stuff. Fantastic movie. Heart warming, funny, had enough action. Popot was on the edge of her seat, literally, the whole time.









19 August

Man, kids just do not forget a thing. When we watched Transformers 2, Popot saw the preview of Disney Pixar's UP and I made the wrong move of telling her we would go see it when it comes up for showing. She has been reminding (as in pestering) me about it since.

31 July

Little P's school bash. McNuggets, Twister Fries, and OJ.







The little rascal looked like an angel in her black and pink dress. She could pass for a princess. All grown up now, my baby.

Gifted Children

Something is not right with this current world, really. When I was younger, in the normal world, the one who was having the birthday gets all the stuff. He does not give out stuff! These days, you are providing food and entertainment for your "well-wishers". And as if that is not enough, you would have to give them loot bags too. What the hell is a loot bag?!? Who they hell came up with this crazy concept??! I am telling you. The world is not well. Earthlings have gone crazy. 

Cooking Master Boy

I made wantons last night. First time. I have been wanting to make those dumplings for ages, and I finally did last night. "Perfect for snacking! Would go well with instant yakisoba." The wifey liked them. Little P loved them fried. Fact, she likes even just the "warps". Crazy kid. 

Watch out for my sushi!

The Bagman

I was thinking of selling one of my STM laptop bags so that I can pickup a Samsonite Sahora Business backpack. Chickened out. Figured that the Samsonite, and most other backpacks, do not have a "boss" look. The laborer look, it has. Hehe. I, conceited that I am, like to think that I am still my own boss, someone who starts and accomplishes tasks at his own pace, and skips work whenever he wants to. Besides, my old STM has served me really well. No, I have nothing against laptop backpacks (and those who own them), really. Good for your spine and all that. Fact, if anyone has an STM Convertible to give away, I am right here, with open arms, ready to love.

Throwing Infants Into The Nile

The wifey arrived from Egypt last Saturday night. I welcomed her with a still swollen face, the result of an allergic reaction to some over-the-counter pain reliever. Of course she got me something from the lands of Pyramids. And what is the "best" pasalubong for someone who has the Disease of Kings?? NUTS!! Everyone knows I cannot, for the life of me, resist nuts. I swear she just loves me to death.
