Halloween eve eve

-
       So it's the night of October 30, which means I've exactly one week of sem break left to enjoy in Cagayan de Oro before it's off to Manila again for school. I've done nothing productive at all these past two weeks, and actually I don't intend to in the next week. But you know what? I've got absolutely no regrets. My thinking is that the unproductivity of my sem break will compensate for all the hard work I'll be putting into my second sem! :D Ehh? Ehh? :D

        Anyway. Halloween's coming up, and just what is transpiring in the Capinpuyan household this time of year? Well, like most Pinoy families, we're not doing anything. However, I can't say the same for the city of Cagayan de Oro, which seems to have suddenly joined in on the Halloween festivities.

       See, my worst nightmares have come true, for today in Cagayan de Oro City, A STARBUCKS WAS BORN. It sprouted up from the ground in the middle of a parking lot in Limketkai Mall. Chyeah. As if the city needs another expensive coffee franchise! And the horror does not end there. Noooo siree. Earlier, we were walking around in Ketkai, minding our own business, when suddenly, a wild Marks and Spencer appeared! It's super effective with its easily accessible location in the newly renovated wing of Ketkai!

      Sorry, I don't know the reason behind the sudden lame references.

      OH THAT'S RIGHT! The reason behind the sudden lame references: the writer for the Pokemon television series and first three feature films, Takeshi Shudo, passed away today at sixty-one years old. :'(  

      'Tis a sad day for all.

    That means the Marks and Spencer did 150% damage! OMG did it use any def. reducing attack to increase the damage? like screech or something? 0_0

    Tin: I guess you're right. It's just that what Arthur said to me about his city a while back really stuck to me. He said Davao doesn't allow any Starbucks businesses popping up in the city to promote the growth of the local coffee industry.

    But, yeah, Starbucks CDO did provide jobs for people. Not so bad, I guess :3

    Andy: No. It used the most annoying move of all -

    Attract. :|

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
