Eat Drink and be Buried
A little away from London is a mansion, an old medieval castle like mansion with glorious as well as gory history. The dysfunctional family who owns it hired the Gormet Detective to medievalize the menu. As he was evaluating the festivities of the castle, a jouster turns up dead. The Gormet Detective beleives it is poisoning. The owner hires him for an extra job, to find what poison and who poisoned the jouster.
Easy work for a man with taste? Not really. When you're busy being shot by an arrow then a shot gun, finding out you're the main suspect and getting in between sibling rivalries. What a mess for an esteemed chef!
Personal Commets: Very tasty description of food. I must say, the ending is rather abrupt. In the whole book and possibly the rest of the series of Peter King, the Gormet Detective's name is never mentioned. How does he do it? Read and find out.

One Girl's Junk
To get rid of your old things in Japan, you pay the garbage man to get it.
To get rid of your old things in the Philippines, you sell it. What a way to earn some extra cash.
Diki and I were super sun burned yesterday but it was worth it.
We sold out old clothes, old bags, old shoe rack and other junk we needed to get rid. We didn't get rid of it all but we did get a good amount.
Wen we started at 8:30, people knocked on our doorsteps even before we started set-up. Early birds! Well, they bought quite a lot. After ten, lesser people came. People came by in waves again at around 2:30. It's always fun having a yard sale. People try thier bargaining skills on you.
May pahabol today. She knocked on our door this morning and bought 180.00 worth of old stuffs.
*******************
While waitng for customers, I took my camera and took some snaps at my little angels. Well, feeling angels in cat fur.
Furrry!!
Broke Back Mountain Cats!!!
OOOH! CAught in the act! Joke!
Fatty takes care of Pepper.
Oh looky! Pepper is growing old already. He's no longer this small innocent cat!
I'll post more meowy pictures at my shutterfly.

The Psychology of Grim, Billy and Mandy

The way I see "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" is something psychological. Psychological or plain psycho? You decide.
Grim, a nice bag of bones. Scary but scared all the time. By who? A kid. He wears a dress and is still attached to his "dead" relatives.
Trying to escape from his captors (the kids) shows that he's constantly trying to seek independence. He has all the means but he chose to live in his cruel life and a housekeeper/babysitter/best friend.
Billy:
He's just stupid.
No kidding. I think he's suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
You can literally see him bouncing off the walls. It's the things he eats.
Billy's Dad:
Same as Billy. He's a big baby. Wonder how Billy's mom fell for him.
Billy's Mom:
She's patient. Sometimes, she explodes if she can't take it anymore. I would if I were in her shoes.
Irwin:
He's a dork. A dork with a crush on Mandy.
He's your typical loser who puts down Billy because Mandy likes Billy over him.
Finally... Mandy:
The lovely, smart and scheming Mandy.
Many is a complicated person. She's mean but she does have a soft side. She has a conscience even when she inflicts the harshest pain on you.
Why she chose the Grim Reaper to be her best friend, we can't tell. They seem to have a love hate relationship going on. Same with Billy.
Mandy is quite girly. She likes doing her nails and wearing a pink dress. Once, she let Grim dress her up.
There are times Mandy is very schemeful but only when you cross her.
True she wants to take over the world. But even whe she succeeds, she keeps Grim and Billy. Why? Grim is a soft side she keeps. He may be scary but he's really sensitive.
Billy on the other hand, I don't know. He's so stupid but she rang his doorbell and asked to play with him. He can't comprehend the rules of the games but she's patient.
All in all, Mandy just needs friends. She may be a rag picker but they are the misunderstood people of society.

Corregidor, The Rock!

Corregidor, where the American made the last stand against the Japanese forces.
March 1, our departure for an overnight stay at the island of ghosts.
So, we arrived at the island a little after nine. Our tour started and we went from one place to another around the island. One of those places was the Malinta tunnel:
Malinta tunnel was dug in a span of 10 years by Filipino prisoners by the Americans. Nobody knows the true extent of the tunnels. This was just the main tunnel. The others were bombed shut. All bodies weren't dug out completely. I'll post a picture when Ria(Tita Ruby's daughter) gives me.

Davao day 2 and 3
We went to NCCC which is very near nanay's house. As in walking distnace. As in across the street! There, we looked around. There were a lot of things for sale and exhibit but security is as tight as airport. Asian Tourism Forum deligates were there too.
Then we went to SM. There was an exhibit and bazaar on the 2nd floor also for the delegates pero welcome mga tao. Mahal! Yung mga china china pearls 1000 per strand!!! Had lunch in Dencios. We had BBQ pork, BBQ Chicken, Sisig, and 3 rice, Iced tea na bottomless for drink. It cost us 239.00 in Dencios. Iniwan ko na 11 for tip.
Then, we went to Gaisano Mall. I bought Jadey a lot of things! What about me? Swimsuits are too small there!!! Hope she likes it. Lovely for summer top!
Then we went to Victoria Plaza. I finally bought a nice swimsuit. (2peice!) Then, more shopping. Ja also bought a 2 peice!!! Wooow! Sexy Bikini!
Then, I took Ja to Blugre! (Pronounce:Blue-Gray) Yum. Its Davo's version of Starbuck. only with Durain coffee and Durain Fraps. What do you expect in Durian Country?
Weird for her ang Durian pero I enjoyed it. Fresh and blendered durian with cream and coffee! Yum!
So now, we are in netopia. waiting for ahia jun. We're going to Malagos Monkey Eating Eagle!!! It's an eagle breeding ang preservation site. Alo a zoo. Parang ayaw ko ng animals? Save the animals!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Davao!
Lat me kwento. Here's what happened so far.
Yesterday:
Kakatawa dahil pink and denim suot naming dalawa. Great minds talaga! Bag namin pareho din tapos sabit sabit pa sa amin ang mga SLR cameras. HAHAHA! Dalawa kaming walang breakfast and la lunch. Bili ako ng mamon. SUPER Mahal food. Bili si Ja sotanghon and share kami drink. Sotanghon is like 60 and mamon is like 30!!!
We waited sa pre-departure. Super kwento namin ni Ja, we forgot the long wiat. 12:20 bigla nalang naglaline ang mga tao. Tapos nakita namin DAVAO sa sign. So takbo. After boarding, super tagal before umalis plane. mga 1:20 na. Yung plane before us na supposed to leave 12:20 delayed so hindi kami makaalis unless nakaalis na sila. So after the short trip with a pack of cream-oh and C2 (Robina products) we landed. Super kwento nawala ang time. Ito pa, we were talking about Plane crash and the show na LOST. Nagcrash isang plane sa isang island and mga people na nagsurvive have to find a way to really survive or get LOST. Maybe finifreak out namin katabi namin. Parang kami lang naguusap and tulog lahat eh. Or stunned silent because of our kwento of plane crash!
By the way, parang kalahati lang mga tao sa plane. Hindi puno. When we got to the luggage area, got our baggage tapos naweweewee si ja so CR. Tapos, la nang tao. Parang ghost town. Feel ko tuloy nasa NAIA3 kami. Freaky! Echoing silence.
So Ahia Jun picked us up. Tamang tama, paglabas namin ng airport door, bagsak ulan. Amah prepared food. Yummy! Lechon Manok and bihon then that dessert she always make. Thier house is very nice. Dramatic effect!Then,we had to go nanay house. Bonding nanay and ja. Baka daw may relatives si ja kasi marami siyang kapangalan here. Ha search for family tree!
So then we went to Hanoi
9tita Neneng's new restaurant) Si Ate Trishell and Tita Neneng were there.
May ATF conference ngayon sa Davao. Hope hindi matao or mataasprices. Anyways, reserved and Tsuru and Hanoi today just for the delegates. Maki delagates nga rin kami!
Today:
We go to NCCC mall the SM then Gaisano then Victoria. Mall tour kami.
Tomorrow's plan:
Maonkey-Eating Eagle Preservation area and Zoo. Kaloka when i shouted "Monkey eating tayo!" sa car, Ja thought we were going to eat monkeys! I don't think I'm cut to eat things that are too exotic thank you.
Hugs and Kisses!

Day of Work
It's the 4th of January and it's the first day of office. Yes, government offices are open so I started to make phone calls here, bank trips there. All for the show.
The fashion show is going to be grand. Why? Because I want to make it so. It's for the good of our country. I'm helping the tourism board boost.
Just got out of sickness and I'm running around already. Everyone thinks I might get a relapse. I'll try to slow down a little.
Oh, had a revamp of designs. I want it pure Piña. Mahal? I guess. I have 6 yards each for my groupmates. Six to work on and I'll be buying pure Piña for the final gown. Good luck to me!

Inah's New Blog

Check out Inah's blog.
Just a bit proud of it. :-)
I had to download Picasa to get the pictures there but it was ok.
I was able to use the Picasa too.
She wanted to voice ot her thoughts too without literally using her voice.
Being a bit shy, she said she wanted to write letters in a blog.
So, welcome to the group of blogger, Inah!
Hope you like the look of the blog!

The Merryment!
Tests are officially over! Course cards tomorrow!
Yesterday, Mom salvaged what was left of the X-mas tree.
I used the branches and wired them to the stairs.
it looks nice. Just needs a bit of lights.
I'm happy. I'm doing the best I can for our first Christmas in this house.
Yup, Maita Rue will Rev up the Vienna House.
It'll be cheery for the holidays or am I not the middle child of Vienna?
Today, I'm going to go to Quiapo. Even if it's super squeezy, I'll brave it!
Oh, let the merryment begin!
As for the toubles in the progressing: "On-line blog war,"
Let it halt. Let it cease!
It's Christmas! Let's forgive.
Live!
Live and let live!
Let me sing a carol for all of you:
"Oh God, bless us everyone!
The good and the bad,
The happy the sad!
Oh God, bless us everyone!"
***
Put up that happy face, the joyful will be triumphant!
"Oh come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye
to Bethlehem!"
Hugs and Kisses!

Mr. "Nicest"
.
Let me express my opinions, feelings and thoughts. I know, I know you might think its another ranting about the show. Not really. More on you as a person.
Wasn't it you who said na you can fit all the clothes to one hour? I've heard you said that last term and the term before that. How come naging 2 hours this show?
Please, why are you defensive if a lot of people didn't like this show?
Didn't the super text message kanina sa class say something? Somebody is mocking the whole class for the grad show. Doesn't that say something?
No more plastican. I'm telling you this because you need to know this. Though you don't consider me a friend, I'm still going to tell you your little faults. (Friends are supposed to tell each other thier mistakes, right?)
Don't take it hard. Personal opinion: I didn't like the show. (no offense, zig.) I thought you can prove us wrong if we lay back a bit. Guess, that wasn't the case. Perhaps there were a lot of factors involved as well. I did the best I can: do the bugdeting and made the letters. It was all up to the ones who commited.
Let us examine what was your commitment. This is not singling you out from everybody else. Its just, you have the most comment and you cannot take that the show was not as bonga as you wanted it.
You were supposed to be choreographer. How come pasaway models mo?
I don't mean to drag the past but you did once commited to help with the food in re- and you left me and vic to do the work on that. All we needed was 10 minutes of your time but you wanted to wait for your model who came at 6pm. There was plenty of time to help.
Now, please take this all calmly. The show was not a disaster, it just didn't go as we hoped. Get me?
Just listen to eveybody's comments and thoughts. And I mean everybody. Not just friends. Get diversed opinions. Its only an opinion. What's to loose?
