I started writing when I was 8. My mom got me a journal where I could rant (prob so I won't be an annoying brat). I stopped writing for 8 years until the pen and then later on the keyboard called on me again. I blog because I like writing and that's just about it. Hope you get inspired though... Bite the apple!
I've been horrendously busy the past few weeks and haven't had much time to blog. I've been to Bacolod and Singapore, did important wedding stuff and started working on my parents golden wedding anniversary, just in the past week. And my friends have been scolding me about my weight. Guys, don't worry, I actually gained a few pounds while I was in Singapore (thanks to my special fatten-me-up coach, Hanson).
Anyway, I'm thankful I managed to meet-up with my Davao-based friends who organized Wordcamp Manila. We had a cardiac delight feast at Whistlestop because they had foreign guests from Wordpress and Firefox.
I wasn't seated near Beau (Wordpress) and Seth (Firefox) so it was Jeff, Markku, Blogie and Jayvee, who entertained them. I was chuckling when I heard Markku tell them that they all had to go through an initiation. They had to prove their manhood by eating balut! The guys then went on to describe in the most gory manner that balut is a day-old chick.
Anyway, find out in this video if Beau and Seth passed -
*Sorry for the misspelling of names in the video. I was given the wrong info :)
I was amazed when a friend of mine asked if I knew of any website on Sabong (cock-fighting). I didn't know of any so I asked Sweetie if he knew of one. I was lucky since his former colleagues were actually running a couple of websites about the subject. I then asked my friend why SHE was interested in cock-fighting (and watching one at that), she said that she had someone coming over and was very interested to watch. Huwhaaaattt?
I realized then that this sport has been around for the longest time. An uncle of mine when he was still alive used to care for a couple of Texas roosters. He was really into it that when my Kuya accidentally strangled one when he was 3 years old, he cried! It's a story told time and time again whenever we go to Lucban, Quezon. My uncle knew better than to showcase his roosters to me when I was a kid. LOL.
Here's a preview of what it looks like (I don't think I'll visit one in my life) -
A few months ago, I showcased a dear American friend, Chris Sandberg, who tried out Balut when we were in Bohol. We tried scaring him out of it, but he was really game on trying out stuff and he was such a good sport. I cannot even remember the last time I ate balut, but I've tried dangling Miguel a prize (PhP2,000) to eat one to no avail (sorry baby, it was just a one time deal).
Anyway, here's my friend Rachel showing her friend Adam how to eat one -
Oh, I was too tired last night to make a Sunday video post. Here's one song that caught my attention while eating dinner at McDonald's with Sweetie and Miguel -
