Restaurant Riddles

I was in this restaurant a while ago and i saw a vinegar sawsawan. Questions began popping up in my mind.

1.) Vinegar's is also called __________ acid (1 point)
2.) It's chemical formula is ________________ (2 points)

No googling!


Scoring:
0 and below: Vinegar is sour. Nuf said.
1: Look ma! I didn't sleep through all my chem classes in High school
2-3: hi Kabo!

Neighborly Bonding and then some

I hate small talk.

Under the "love thy neighbor" rule, there's a bulletpoint there somewhere that says "When in the company of your neighbor for more than 2 minutes, thou shall make small talk." This is really stupid. I don't know shit about my neighbors except their names and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual. But frankly, who gives a damn?

So there I was, waiting for the elevator, when my neighbor also decided that he needed to go to god-knows-where. I was thinking of just jumping down the 9 floors to avoid an awkward elevator encounter but decided that since I'm destined to do great things in this world, it'll be such a waste for me to die . So I decided to push my neighbor down instead. Unfortunately, the elevator doors opened before I can execute my scheme. Curses!

As some of you already know, our elevator is the world's slowest elevator. It has lots of features that ensures passengers will have a slow trip down (or up), one of which is the OPEN button and the glaring absence of the CLOSE button. So I'm stuck with my "friend" for a while. This is what we talked about:


Neighbor: San ka pupunta?

Me: Sa jollibee, bibili ako ng chickenjoy kasi walang tubig eh

N: aaah.

*silence*

N: San ka mas malakas? sa kanin o sa ulam?

M: (What the fuck is this guy blabbering about).. Uuuh.. pareho lang. sympre masarap ulam pero dapat may kanin pra mabusog. Ikaw?

N: hinde ako mahilig sa kanin eh, ulam lang gusto ko. Chicken wings, (some other food that apparently didn't make it to my long term memory because of it's sheer insignificance), nagpapasta tska noodles nlng ako pra mabusog.

M: (The hell do I care? Will you please just shut up and endure the remaining 4 floors that this elevator has to traverse?) Aaaah....

I think he said something after that, but I forgot. Bottom line, Don't talk for the sake of talking. ><;; Remember.. silence is golden.

And then some:
I was watching Ed the other day and this line caught my attention:


WARNING! CHEESY!


Ed: If the two of you aren't meant to be, then whatever you try to do, the two of you will still never be together.
Actor B: And if the two of you are meant to be?
Ed: Then you have to do everything not to let her slip away.
*dramatic zooming out, fade to black*

Modernization

Our country's name sucks. Brief history lesson, Ruy Lopez de Villalobos named the country "Philippines" in honor of the King of Spain back then, King Philip III. That was like 2000 years ago. Face it, right now, no one in Spain gives a rat's ass about a third world country named after a long dead king. And besides, why the hell should we let a dayuhan name OUR country?

We should change the country's name to something that has much more appeal, like Fluffylandia. With that kickass name, tourism will skyrocket! Then we change our currency from peso to fluffs and put rabbits on our coins and bills.

National anthems are supposed to inspire patriotisim and nationalism. But face it, the tune is so 1890's. Instead of inspiring the said attributes, the national anthem is so damn boring that it is reduced to a formality in schools, goverment, and radio stations before signing off. No offense to the heroes who fought for our freedom, I salute you all. All I'm saying is that in order to connect with the current generation, there are a couple of alternatives we need to consider:

1.) Remix the Lupang Hinirang. Add in some funky beat, put in a rap by Francis Magalona in there somewhere, or some "artistic screaming" by Slapshock.
2.) Change the national anthem completely. There are a bunch of "We love Phlippines" themes that came up recently. Noypi is a good choice, so is Liwanag sa Dilim. P.S. I don't like the Pinoy Big Brother theme. Orange and Lemons = yuck.
3.) Who said that national anthems have to be about the country? If you want one song that almost everybody Filipino can relate to, and is being played at least once every five minutes, it's got to be Bonnie Bailey's Ever After!


We might as well change some of our out-of-date national symbols as well.

Instead of mango, the national fruit will now be:

Wildly popular Ice Monster stuff

Barong Tagalog won't be the national outfit for men anymore, it will now be:

Anything + Lance Armstrong Bands

The national dance, which I'm pretty sure what it is, will be change to:

First day funk ><;; BTW, the official national dance is carinosa. Did anybody remember their Hekasi/Civic Studies? XD

The national sport will no longer be sipa. The sipa fad died during my elementary days. The new one will be:

MMORPG's, specifically Ragnarok Online. People think up of more strategies for these games than chess.

The national hero. Dr Rizal? Nope.

Darna.

And lastly, the national leaf, which is..... ha! you don't know, do you? It's Anahaw. But it should be changed to..
Oh shit, error in photobucket.... ><;; Oh well. I guess that's it.

What's up Ketchup?

I wonder who was the first person to come up with these ridiculous rhymes. Who was the first guy to utter "let's go sago", or "sure thing pating"? See, this is what happens if you have too much free time in your hands. Your brain starts to go all screwy. Whatever peanut butter. I really should use my time more productively. Maybe I'll read some Quantum Physics stuff, lately i've been interested in reading about how the wave structure of matter and spherical standing wave interactions explains the discreet... ooops! Looks like Jackass is showing in MTV! Later!

*after 10 minutes and losing 10 IQ points*

Anyway, it's been a while since I last posted, so i think i'll do a "what-happened-to-me" post. Personally, I try to minimize these kinds of posts. People want to read about the life of celebrities, or athletes, or politicians. You know, interesting people. But then again, this is my blog so I can write about whatever I damn want. Besides, reading my entries is better than working XD

Saturday, after 10 months of planning and cancelling, basketball at Stan's house pushed through. We had to do a rain dance and sacrifice a goat to appease the rain gods to prevent any drizzles but it was worth it. The MVP of the game was rik smits, AKA kabo, with his low post carabao techniques and outside jumpers. Darnell Marshal was also very impressive. He showed us his Vince Carter like moves minus the insane hangtime. Vince Carter soars, Darnell hovers. But the moves were still pretty slick. After the game, we all had dinner in Italiannis. I think Darn is still mad because he wasn't able to tip properly. OK lang yan darn, may service charge naman. Oh yeah, Tops was kinda OP because we talked about fantasy basketball stuff.

Sunday, I spent most of my energy trying to wake up for badminton. Lying in bed is soooo relaxing and comfy. Badminton was ok. There were a lot of good players and I really felt uncomforatble playing with them. My partner might be thinking.. "amp bano naman nito". Haaay... oh well. There will come a time in the near future (hopefully) that I will be the one thinking about that muwahahaha XD Curses.. I should've used my childhood days to practice some sports instead of watching all those cartoons. Damn you saber rider (and the star sheriffs)! That afternoon, me and my coz went to GB. I met with a college friend and talked about life in general over coffee. Ahh.. Conversations should always be over coffee XD I wonder what's wrong with talking about stuff over coke, or horlics, or guyabano juice.. So that's what happened this weekend, more or less. Please excuse the lack of interesting or scandalous things that could've happened. Sigh. Life could sure be a lot more exciting.

In a while, crocodile!

*poof*

An update on updates

It's been a while since I last posted in this blog. Recently, I've been reading my newly downloaded sandman 1-75, then lucifer 1-62 (i think). Fantasy NBA also kept me pretty busy.

Oh and, I have nothing entertaining to write as of now. Well actually, there are a couple of em but I'm just plain damn lazy. I'll try to update next week.
