Healthy Sea Food Snack for the Young and Old

You know gummy bears? I fell in love with them when I was a kid. It's like true love because until now, I still smile when I see gummy bears. Yeah I know it sounds odd but it's an improvement from daydreaming about gummy bears. Like eating buckets of it until your jaw and teeth hurt. Then you'll be reprimanded when you forget to brush your teeth after putting fistfuls of those colorful bears in your mouth.

We were doing our grocery a while ago. I saw this snack or healthy sea food snack for the young and old as its label says so. I have been trying so hard not to eat fish and other sea food but I remembered eating stuff like these so I snuck two packs in the deepest part of the push cart. Yeah yeah, I'm back in those, "But meat is so tempting" part of my life. My mom is always surprised when she'll be doing the part wherein you have to pay for the stuff you put in your cart. I think these places (aka supermarkets) should be called supercartplace or something. Anyway, I think she didn't see those two packs being run through in the scanner. Hoorah! They're around PHP 25/pack.


Looks neat, right? Before I eat stuff, or while eating, I usually read the marketing shiznits written on the back part of packed goods. I opened my crab flavored healthy sea food snack for the young and old while we were waiting for my dad to pick us up. I saw these and well, I want to share it with the world.


Ooookaaayy.. It has calaium and vitamines. But wait! There's more! It contains no fat with various nutritions! Read the sentences. The girl probably perspired a lot from typing it. The kid and his dog in the picture above, yeah, I can handle that. He is still a growing child and so he needs vitamines and calaium. The dog probably wrote about it.



MORAL: You've probably eaten those, but don't judge a food by its label... sometimes. And this is one of those "exception to the rule" stuffs. They're from Japan, which is notorious in killing dolphins and in creating cartoons about everything. For the record, I prefer the crab flavor. Shrimp flavor is so plain. The crab has zesty spicy taste in it. Good stuff. Entertaining and fun to eat.

One Step[anek] At A Time

This is a puto bumbong. It's violet I know, and I like it - when we have some. My dad usually buys it and bibingka then we eat it while it's still warm. I devour them alongside my cups of tea but let's cut the crap and deal with the shiznit because no amount of puto bumbong and bibingkas can make me shut the hell up about Stepanget.

Anyway, this entry is about hating Radek Stepanek. No offense to Radek's fans (if there are any) but look at the man! In Duffy's words, "And now I'm begging you for mercy." I won't even dare post his photo because my computer would crash if I do and I'm pretty sure of it. Also, I am concerned of those who might be able to see this and if ever another person sees Radek's photo, I am not accountable for nightmares to follow. Halloween is not just over. This is not a matter of being physiognomist but let's post pictures of his girlfriend (or fiancee) and his ex-fiancee. They're all from Czech Republic but c'mon. I can't really bear him. (Maybe because I am a fan of both players from the WTA.) In defense of Radek, he's good in voodoo, nabbing 2 hotshots. Dang! He's still Fishboy! (Note that I am not alone in my ideas and comments on this one.) Prepare for real life version of Beauty and the Beast.

Martina Hingis (the ex; former world number 1) who is a survivor who woke up from a really bad dream. I feel happy for her. She also looks happy in this photo.


Now meet the present victim who is still suffering from delusion and bad spells. Hello, Nicole! Trick or treat! Either she loves Halloween that much (with regards to her Fishboy) or she just wants pity. (With the pity part, she's getting a lot of pity from millions of people around the world.)


Radek just got whipped by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the 2nd round of the BNP Paribas Masters. Wahahaha. Eyeloveit! I'm not wishing ill of others but I am pro-JW all the way and pro-annihilation of Radek. Heck, even the commentators are against Radek. In any way, we'll still be praying for Nicole Vaidisova's enlightenment.


MORAL: Halloween is not for everyone. Remove your monster mask. Oops. Yours is permanent. I'm sorry, I feel so evil posting this but I just can't take beauty and the beast. I never loved that fairy tale. It's crap.

Realize

Dish out Colbie Caillat (others pronounce her last name as "kalat" but hellooooooo what's wrong with you?! Colbie is definitely NOT kalat. Her music calms me down like how a tranquilizer would do to me - not that I need one.). I realized what I wanted (for now)! We have a huge table in our room where I put most of the trash - laptop, dock, printer (I'm the only one who uses it), Krispy Kreme cases of my music CDs, the old CPU, the TV, lotions and stuff, my brother's porn CDs, boxes of my sister's accessories, old dictionary, and more trash. I look left and I see the keyboard (on top of a table because I think the legs of the stand are busted) with a tennis racquet on top flooded with my sister's magazines and some piano pieces. Further left is my old study table which completely lost its purpose once it entered our room.

How? I can't study in our room! Turn the aircon on and I'm off to dreamland. Dang it. So I transformed the study table into a bookcase or whatever. The problem is that it cannot house all of my books. I need a real bookshelf, one that reaches the heavens. I'll put those I won't probably read again on top shelf. And if ever one day I decide to reread a book from there, I'll use a ladder to get it, I'd fall down, crashing on the wooden floor (but I hope I won't fall through the floor) and I'd curse that book forever. But I'm thinking too far ahead on that one.

The truth is.... I just want to play the keyboard and guitar again. So. I want a tall bookshelf, and a guitar stand. A Good Burger won't hurt, too.


MORAL: I can hear the bookshelf say, "I'm not moooooooviiiiiiiiiing..." (in the tune of The Script's The Man Who Can't Be Moved)

Lesson Learned

They said never to bite off the hand/arm that feeds you. I guess I remembered that after our cook (who is also my yaya) and I got into a petty fight because I accidentally sat upon her coin purse. When I was about to sit, she grabbed her purse and I sat at the wrong item. To keep a possibly long story short (because it is really short), we're not talking for the whole time (after lunch).

WRONG.

Since I don't eat meat, I had nothing to eat last night because she usually cooks separate dishes for me. This time we had adobo and other cruelty-full food. I ate peanuts, bibingka, rice, salted eggs with tomato, and bread with cheese spread for dinner. (Yeah I eat like a prisoner.) Then had another tea party after some hours. Boo. I'm thinking of eating oatmeal tomorrow.


MORAL: Don't do it. Unless you're in for some dieting or some hunger strike.

Folly Ticks

I'm getting craaaazyyy..

Ever since we came back from Baguio, the politics in our school organization has been bugging me like crazy. The same way bees do when they see who was busy hitting their beehive. It is my current Disturbia. Sriofeiox haasxbu the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog sdfdabnwe iopwuqoeor. Yup. Crazy. It's taking precious "I'm pondering and assessing my current place in this world" time in my semestral break. When asked if I would run to be part of the Executive Board, I usually say, "I just want free outing (Plan/EvSem)." That gives a laughing response either through IM or vis-a-vis, it has never failed inviting an affirmation. In reality, I never liked meeting de avances, candidates campaigning and all. When my relatives run for office and my mother asks us to join the campaign, I just go there because of my mother and for the free merienda or lunch or dinner afterwards. And IF EVER I campaign, I can foresee that it would be a disaster. It's a War of the Worlds type of disaster or a Titanic tragedy. When they say "just be yourself" I would lose voters rather than attract them. Instead of creating a voter's dilemma ("Who am I gonna vote for?"), I would help them decide ("Ok, vote for the other one!"). I don't know if working for the PR part of our org helps or not. I'm not a complete shiznit or anything but heck.

If there's anything I'm looking forward to for the next month, it would be watching Rihanna and Chris Brown in a back to back concert (I could already hear Hate That I Love You) and then riding an airplane the next day and wasting money in a neighboring place afterwards. Who wants noodles?


MORAL: Don't make the politics of anything get you. If you have the vision, the mission, and the objective, go for it. It's not always "you". Not everything's about you or me or him or her. Tsk. Sometimes, we are here for others. Think like that and politics is just another dead leaf you ought to sweep away. Amen.

Virtual Insanity

I'll do some foreshadowing here. In this entry, we'll tackle the golden topics of love, school, money, food, death, and beauty. Heavy topics, huh? I know. I suggest you bring out your pen and paper and jot down notes for the future.

So what precious stuff have I done lately aside from rebuilding the Banaue Rice Terraces with my mind? I have been torrent-ing or downloading stuff from the Internet. Yeah, P2P is love, but you can't blame me, I live in the not-so-3rd-world Philippines.

I downloaded all of Spear Britney's albums and is getting crazy (again) over Anticipating. I want to have her albums, I'm just having a hard time looking for all of her CDs (not to mention looking for wads of money so I could actually purchase them). I did it with Alicia Keys and I believe I can do it again. Bless me, Madonna, and shower me with the manna from music heaven. Kill Guy Ritchie and get his (which are actually Madonna's) money. Kill Kevin Federline as well. I'll burn them after stabbing (or spearing if you want) them and then put their ashes in a plastic cup from a Happy Meal. Mix it with water and truckloads of sugar then feed it to Nick Cannon so he won't dare do what they did.

Also, I downloaded the Hip Hop Abs DVDs. Hahahaha. My sister has been nagging me since time immemorial to download those freaking shiznits. I downloaded MTV Power Yoga before and thank God haven't tried doing it or I could be in the orthopedic hospital any time soon. I think I'll just go jogging later. (Try following the dance moves of Beyonce and the Pussycat Dolls in their music videos and you'll need 5 gallons of Gatorade afterwards - considering you really copied what they did. Hip Hop Abs would be put to shame.)

Speaking of downloads, I am half-tempted to download Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Ghost Whisperer, and all of the TV series I have been watching. (I suddenly noticed the three examples I gave all started in the letter "G".) I watch Chuck but the storyline's not so amusing for me anymore. Why can't they resurrect Bryce back into the story? I haven't watched the 2nd season yet but if Chuck and Sarah would be together as a couple, oh c'mon. I'll raise my fingers forming a letter "W" in both hands and give them a big "WHATEVER." WHATEVER. I just want to see Nicole Richie there. Just like how I wanted to see Lindsay Lohan in Ugly Betty. I think I want to watch Ugly Betty.

Oh, today's the dreaded day for most students since the grades are to be released into the virtual world. I care, but not so much. Grades are just bragging rights when you get into the real world. What are high grades for if no one wants to work with you? Latin honors are fun, but I want to graduate with Egyptian honors. (Huh?)


MORAL: The human mind can only produce so much. You can't teach imagination and creativity. So, what have you learned in school? Not so much because you have to go back tomorrow. Think positive, not non-existent.

SomeBreak

I have been drinking more tea in my life. I usually have my own tea party (I drink tea by the pot not by the cup) and I'm loving our percolator (even though we've had it since forever). I drink tea without anything added to it unlike my dad who usually puts honey or sweetener or whatever. Is tea bad for the health?

The tennis season is almost over and I'm having this feeling of "Shoot! What am I gonna do without tennis in my cable?!" It's not as if they're going to show EuroLeague Women in Eurosport. Boo.

Lately, my desktop background is like the United Nations. I have been using different countries' flags and coats of arms as my wallpaper. I started with the Philippines' coat of arms, then at present I have Italy's flag as my wallpaper. I like Austria's coat of arms. Check it out in Wikipedia.

I still think that Lauren Jackson and Stephanie Rice look somewhat alike. Maybe it's because of their eyes. Feliciano Lopez is sooo pretty. Haha. No, I'm not drunk while typing this.

I'll do my schedule for next week. I hope I can follow it.
*AB = or anytime in between
6am-8am (AB) - jogging
9am-12pm (AB) - tennis
12pm-2pm (AB) - eat and/or nap
2pm - 5pm - watch DVDs (TV series and movies) and/or include other activities
5pm-7pm - eat/pig out then tutor my cousin
7pm-?? - watch tennis matches if there are any
?? - try sleeping

If I follow this schedule, I don't know what will happen to me. So there's an 85% chance that I won't be following it.


MORAL: Sembreak is the time to do things you can't usually do during the semester. If you use your sembreak reading textbooks, researching about next lessons, doing advance projects, there's something wrong with you.

Dyesebelat

I am trying to post entries more frequently, so that they would be shorter and more friendly to read, I think I'll start now. My sister didn't go to work today because she said she has a viral infection. She has common colds. If she has a cough she'll tell her workmates, "I have upper respiratory illness, I can't come to work." What she meant was she has a cough. Then she told me she saw Patrick Garcia in Metrowalk. She wanted to approach him and say, "*expletive* mo! Inanakan mo lang si Jennylyn Mercado!" Then she thought otherwise, "What if hindi talaga kay Patrick 'yung bata? Kasi hindi naman niya iri-risk ang image niya, nagkataon lang na siya ang boyfriend noong nabuntis si Jennylyn." Well. I don't really care about them.

Then we got to talk about Halloween. Every year, their restaurant participates in the Trick or Treat. I told her I want to join in Trick or Treats this year, because wearing costumes is a tad fun and exciting. She said she wants to wear a Dyesebel costume. Her friends asked her, "How would you go up and down the stairs?"

"I'll sit and work with each step at a time." Imagine that in a restaurant.



MORAL: You can say anything you want as long as you say it in a manner that is not hurtful or offensive or grave, depending on your situation. You can say anything as long as you say it in a nice way. Unless you don't want to be nice. Sometimes... I run. Sometimes... I hide. Sometimes... I'm scared of you. But all I really want is to hold you tight, treat you right, be with you day and night. Baby all I need is time. Britney is alive, but I'm not really impressed with her new song.

An Entry I'm Not Proud Of...

... because it's just pure fingerwork.

As I type this, Ana Ivanovic and Venus Williams are slaughtering each other in the semifinals of the Zürich Open. Winner meets Flavia Pennetta, who murdered Jelena Jankovic, in the finals. They're in their 3rd set and Venus gets the first break in the final set to lead 4-6 6-3 4-3. Some tennis players produce a sound when they hit the ball, usually called a "grunt" by commentators. Ana Ivanovic produces an entertaining series of sound compressed into one. There are actually 3 different sounds she makes, before she hits the ball, when she hits the ball, and after she does so - all in one packaged sound. With other players, it's just pure lung-sound. Nyeha.

From love-40 (triple match point for Venus), Ana salvages her serve to still be on the board, 4-5. She is the luckiest person during really tight points, the net cord loves her (Ana's drop shot almost dropped her from the tournament but because of the net cord, she's still alive). I still think Ivanovic's forehand is the strongest in the game. When she sets up for it, you'll know for sure it'll be a clean winner after she hits the ball. Venus Williams leads 40-15 for her 4th match point. I think she'll win this. And she does 4-6 6-3 6-4. I still want EleVen shorts.

This is the last Zürich Open. Boo. Tennis season is really drying up. Everything ends on November. Boo again.


MORAL: When you just feel like typing/writing/anything, do so. With tennis season fast approaching the end, I need to find another thing to look forward to, aside from the Holidays. I still find Coldplay's music video of Viva La Vida (which is playing while I'm typing this) annoying. I like the song, I find it amazing, but the video, uhmm. This should not be in the MORAL part of my entry but I just type words as they come along.
