We just got DSL at home this week, hehehe so you can bet on me posting more entries.
Sometimes I wonder if people actually read this thing, but what the hell, I think that I’ll look back on all the stuff I’ve written five years from now and laugh ( I hope). Life sure can get crazy.
I just got my desk again at work this week. The construction in the receiving area is finally almost done. Just the paint on the walls is missing.
Will be doing my part-time work this weekend. Phew! There’s a lot of stuff that I feel I need to do. Sometimes I get the urge to do it and not stop until I’ve finished. I don’t like deadlines hanging over my head. However, with all the reports due this week in my day job, it’s impossible to get anything done in my other job. The only time I have is at night…and I’m kinda required to sleep at night. I know I’m obsessing. I can’t help it. I need to get my work done this weekend!
Oh, John and I went to the Panaad Festival today. I really wish I brought my camera so that I can at least post pics, but I didn’t coz I didn’t know that the sights were actually good. They say this is the best year so far, so I’m hoping that next year will be better. We saw this like dancing mannequin thingies of the Sto. Nino with a group of black tribal people around him. I thought that was weird. One thing about Filipino culture is the mixing of old pagan rituals with Catholic symbols, isn’t it? The food was native, whatever that means. Native for me means the food they serve are stuff you can get anywhere in the island, if you know where to look. It’s a given they price higher there than outside the place. We walked around, enjoying the artificial waterfalls, sweating like pigs, admiring the hard wood furnitures and woven bags, smelling the smell of grilled chicken and pork. I turned to ask John then, “What is up with us having the urge to bbq everything?” I saw grilled eggs, grilled chicken, grilled pork, grilled intestines, grilled liver, grilled fish, grilled squid….sheesh. We had fun though, it’s like being a kid and exploring this place that comes alive only once every year. Cool! The place was really crowded though. It’s ironic how the main roads in Bacolod were clear instead.
Even though there was food everywhere and we had mango shake and peanuts (what a combination!), the smell of the grilled everything wasn’t enough to make us sit there and eat. Brick Pit is always a good idea, when you prefer airconditioning and peace and quiet.
