some days I don't feel all so girly-girly

There are some days when I don't really feel sooo girly-girly. And the fact that my boyfriend bought me a new pair of Chucks only encouraged this not so girly-girly feeling today. I couldn't avoid wearing it even though I was just staying in the room all day. I felt so "boyish" and "grunge-y" (if there is ever a word) wearing it.

here is another shot of my new chucks♥ 

Today, my boyfriend went to work early and I wasn't able to wake up in time to kiss him goodbye (awww ♥). I wasn't able to tell him in advance that I wanted him to buy me 
breakfast (since i was still too lazy to go down), but because he left early, I had no choice but to eat Nachos with cheddar cheese dip for breakfast. HAHA!

nachos and cheese dip!

cheddar cheese dip! yum!

It wasn't what I'd call an ideal breakfast, but it was enough to fill my tummy! The nachos weren't really delish, but they were okay. I still prefer those nachos that I've had somewhere in Makati though. I hope to go back there again and indulge in their nachos! haha!

How about you guys? What did you have for breakfast today? :D

Taho is L♥ve

A few days ago, I decided to wake up early which is a great achievement for me considering the fact that my usual wake-up time these days is 10 or 11am. Haha!

So, anyway, I woke up early and went out to buy breakfast (I live in a dorm so sadly, cooking my own meal isn't possible; I have to buy it myself). As I went out of the door, I saw a "magtataho" or taho vendor outside. I was a bit excited since I haven't had taho for like so many years now, and I was suddenly craving for it. 

Taho, for those who don't know, is a popular breakfast/snack food in the Philippines. However, it seems that this snack is also popular in other neighboring Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia; the only difference is it is called TAHU.  Taho made from fresh, silken tofu, brown sugar and vanilla syrup mix called Arnibal, and Sago.

I immediately bought 2 cups of it for 10 pesos each; both for me and my boyfriend. Instead of buying breakfast, I bought taho, haha! But it was definitely worth it because it made my hunger go away. 

here's a few pics of me getting ready to devour my taho:

see that? Looks yummy, right? You can't see the sago or pearl sago coz i already ate them all :3

sooo syrupy at the bottom

ooooh yummy taho!

Hate, Hater, Hating

 

Hate. It is such a strong word. I believe the feeling of hate suggests a huge force of negativity directed towards someone or something because of a bad experience. If you try looking the word up on certain dictionaries (print or online), you would likely come up with something similar to this:

According the Merriam-Webster dictionary, hate is a feeling that stems out of fear, anger or a sense of injury. In other words, for you to hate something or someone, it is because that thing or person has hurt you, or done something awful to you. Hate is an ugly feeling. It makes a person become irrational; makes them do horrible things.

A lot of people these days use the word “hate” so casually. More often than not, the original meaning of the word is taken for granted just so they can have something to label a person with. 

If a person doesn’t like your opinion: “He’s insecure!”

If a person doesn’t like you:  “He’s bitter!” or “He’s just jealous!”

If a person doesn’t agree with what you’re saying or opposes your idea “He’s a hater!”

If a person points out how annoying you are: “He’s a hater!” 

You would normally see these things in most social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Most of the time, girls (sadly) are the ones doing this whole “hater/insecure/jealous/bitter” labelling. I have seen a lot of guys do that too, but they are not as “harsh” as the women who would go to great lengths to bash their so-called haters. 

I wonder if they do this just so they’d feel better about themselves. Women usually try to make good of the whole “hater thing” to emphasize the fact that they are famous or popular because somebody hates on them. For example, women usually say “when someone hates you, it means you’re above them”. Isn’t that just crappy and somewhat delusional?

Rather than saying they’ve got a hater or someone is bitter, jealous or insecure at them, why don’t they understand the fact that some people just find them annoying? That some people just find them acting inappropriately or immaturely?  Ah, some people just have big egos. tsk

Another first blog post -.-

For the nth time, here I am again, writing yet another "first" blog post. I really don't know what to say or how to start this "first" but-not-really-first blog post. Haha. 

I just want to blog again, and hopefully this will be a permanent thing. I've kept a blog many years ago, I've met friends and gained followers but I got tired of it. Maybe it's because of school and other stuff.

So, I hope I will be able to share a lot of things through this blog. My thoughts, my daily activities as well as my passions.
