The Best Birthday I had in AGES!

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Yay! I had lots of fun on my birthday!  It was also Yummy’s birthday and I suggested to Nakhai something that I had wanted to do for a very long time…  EAT AT DAD’S EAT ALL YOU CAN BUFFET!!!

________________________________________________________________

Dads_dinner This is Yummy and me. 

We’ve just gotten our food and we’re about to start. 

It’s good to eat at restaurants like these once in a while.. Really pamper yourself.

Friendster sucks it won’t let me upload more pictures due to lack of disk space.. wTF is this?? NO more blogging??? I deleted my old posts and It still won’t let me upload new pictures.  GRRR.. Ok I’m moving to blogger..  Fortunately I created an account there.

Guys, please view my blog at this url.

I’ll continue from there.. It’s a shame that I have to abandon my friendster blog due to lack of space.  But can one put a price on memories??

Today is my Birthday

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Today is my birthday. Yes, I know the post says Febuary five but it’s actually Febuary six here in the Philippines.  I didn’t do anything "special" yet except go to a place where nice people usually don’t go. Hey, I needed to treat myself eh? I’m twenty five. Not exactly a kid anymore. ________________________________________________________________

  Guildwarzzz_2Anyway Quick update.  After coming back from that "place" I played some Guildwars and finally beat the game.  Killed the lich and all. 

Oh, this guy is my character Hagaren Renkinjutsu wearing a droknar’s forge executioner’s helm (+1 Axe mastery).

Jeez I suck. I can’t help feeling sorry for myself on my 25th birthday. 

I was planning to go to Dad’s restaurant by myself today to treat myself to an eat all you can buffet.  I dunno. I want my birthday to feel special but I’m feeling so un-special!  (and filthy too.)

Made mac and cheese!

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

I made mac and cheese!  I researched recipes on recipezaar and I found an easy one.  I was so eager to try it that I went out and bought the ingredients.  The cheese was cheddar-mozzarella which I think was a good deal because it was two cheeses in one.  It was quite pricy though.

Macandcheese_1  I nuked the cheese with some milk, butter and flour in the microwave. 

When the cheese melted, I stirred it up and poured it over the macaroni. 

I added some onion powder, black pepper and salt.  Delicious!!  The cheese was kinda different-tasting though.  Next time I think I need to find a different tasting cheese.   All in all, not bad for a first batch of mac and cheese.  My first batches tend to come out WEIRD in some way or another.  Next time I’ll make an even better batch.

Chinese New Year and Movie Marathon

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Two days ago I had a craving for a Wendy’s chicken breast sandwich.  Luckily for me class let out early for lunch so off I went to SM.  I had my sandwich and since I had 2 hours to kill I decided to go walk around SM department store for a bit. 

_________________________________________________________________

The department store was busy preparing for the Chinese New Year and they had fortune cookies and all sorts of new year things.

Gourd_1 I got this cool gourd thingy.  It looks pretty neat.  I hung it outside my door.  It’s supposed to bring wealth and good luck. 

For my friends I got two boxes of strawberry flavoured fortune cookies. 

Of course I had one to see what my fortune was.  It was "Romance is in the air".  What a crock.. I had another fortune cookie because the first fortune sucked. 

My friends loved their cookies.  I think it’s a pretty fun thing to pass out fortune cookies and seeing what fortune everyone gets.  It’s also nice to pass out good luck to friends.

That afternoon I decided to watch APOCALYPTO at robinsons. 

Apocalypto Apocalypto was pretty okay.  It was a bit gory.  I think it’s pretty accurate about the Mayan peoples way of life, with the sun worship and human sacrifices and all. 

Basically the movie is just like another of those adventure movies I’ve seen.. or in my case, one of the books I’ve read but a bit more bloodier.  Don’t get me wrong, Apocalypto is a VERY GOOD movie but compared to BABEL, BABEL is much better story wise. Yeah, Apocalypto IS VERY GORY but BABEL’S gore actually made wince, squirm and me feel nauseous. Which is good.

I could see Apocalypto’s ending a mile away.. especially after the eclipse and the Beach scene.  Whoops.. Did I say too much?  Well, If you know your history and If you’ve got your brain working I’ve probably spoiled the movie for you.

Hahaha.

After watching APOCALYPTO, It was still a bit early so I went and watched NIGHT at the museum. 

Museum11 Night at the museum is a kids movie.  It’s about museum exhibits that come to life at night. 

I kinda enjoyed the movie but it reminded me of THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD (movie and books.) especially since it featured Owen Wilson as a miniature trigger happy cowboy.  (Remember Boo-hoo Boone anyone? No?)

I laughed like crazy when the cowboy said a Brokeback mountain reference in the movie.  The people sitting next to me didn’t get it. 

I didn’t like Ben stiller’s character.  He came off as being sarcastic and rude.  And his kid was looking so… bored.  I love museums and If the exhibits came alive I’d be like.. WHOAAA COOL!!

Tuesday’s my birthday. The question I am asking myself now is…

AM I COOKING ON MY BIRTHDAY??  Probably… I would like a carton of velveeta cheese for my birthday.  Hopefully WalterMart stocks it.  I want to make some Mac and Cheese.  I’ve been researching recipes on the net and so far I found one that looks promising.  I can’t bake so finding a No-bake mac and cheese recipe is tricky.
