coup d'etat your face
what a day!!! y'all know what that effin' Antonio Trillanes did today and just now the government declared curfew in the metro and nearby provinces, short of declaring martial law!!!
i was planning to go out with some friends tonight but had to cancel coz our management decided to send us home at 2PM after they learned that there were military tanks already at the manila pen (tis the first time they send us home early, our office is so near the rally area at makati and the rallyists are always literally in our doorsteps). but since the shortened period wasnt expected, we had to rush our deadlines for the day and it wasn't until 3:30 before i was able to leave the office.
as far as i know all offices within the area were already closed (feels like a weekend in makati), you can cross the street anywhere you like coz all underpasses are closed everytime there's a rally or something). i decided to take mrt since ayala is already closed and i dunno where the buses are and its too difficult to get a cab (the woes of getting taxi in makati is another story!) so me and my two colleagues walked to MRT station, here's some of the photos i took along the way.
at insular life, patrol cars blocking the way
dunno whom the press is interviewing here
actually there were two people i guess speaking to the media
and of course the "uzis" are not far away
lots of soldiers (around 50 or more) in front of the pldt building
they were chanting something here, didn't go near them to hear whatever they were saying
a police bus blocking the end of the street
come hell or high water, the jovial nature of pinoys still shows, see this soldier atop his big tank posing like a gay for me? =)
here's a closer look at this funny soldier
photoshoot over, went inside glorietta to go to mrt station, and inside glorieta it was like there was no coup d'etat going on outside, feels like an ordinary day actually! and us being girls we cant help but look at some of the sale items, stopping at some store every now and then.. stopped at sanfo to buy on of these delicious chocolate coated apple.
we were looking at the tank tops in a booth located at the center when suddenly a lot of people were running towards us, rushing out (we're like five stores away from the exit) and i was afraid they'll run us over if we decided to go with the crowd so we stay put in that spot, (i now know how it feels to be at the center of a stampede!) then right after we heard a gunshot, not really sure if it was a gunshot but it made matters worse, the three of us huddled under the clothes while the people around us were running and some were screaming, panicking! When there were fewer people going out we stood up and went inside wrangler's boutique (nearest and across where we were) and after letting us in the staff there immediately closed the metal door. We were shaking inside and had no idea what was happening outside, after a few minutes (though it felt like hours) a guard peeked inside and told the store's staff to closed down. He opened the door and we really run outside.
so to you antonio trillanes may you rot in hell!!! for creating chaos and now you made more excuse for the government to declare martial law! coup d'etat your face!!! i dont like GMA either but pleaseeee stop being a nuisance and a fuckin asshole!
it just feels good to be home and safe... the last time i felt this appreciation that i have a home to go to at the end of a tiring and scary day was when milenyo ravaged manila.
stay safe everyone and be vigilant.

you have 2 cows
this was forwarded to me and made me smile so i want to share this with you as well. i somehow expected that at the end... i'll find a filipino corporation definition but found none
can you please help me and give a taste of pinoy in here? if you're pinoy and you have 2 cows ....
can you please help me and give a taste of pinoy in here? if you're pinoy and you have 2 cows ....
Socialism: You have 2 cows; you give one to your neighbour.
Communism: You have 2 cows. The state takes both and gives you some milk.
Fascism: You have 2 cows. The state takes both and sells you some milk.
Nazism: You have 2 cows. The state takes both and shoots you.
Bureaucracy: You have 2 cows. The state takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...
Traditional Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
American Corporation: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.
French Corporation: You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads because you want three cows.
Japanese Corporation: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
German Corporation: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
Italian Corporation: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
Russian Corporation: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
Swiss Corporation: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
Chinese Corporation: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and execute the newsman who reported the real situation.
Indian Corporation: You have two cows. You worship them.
Iraqi Corporation: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have one. No one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a democracy...
Filipino Corporation: _______

- my favorite number is 7
- maybe its because jaworski is my all time favorite basketball player and he wears jersey number 7
- i used to cut classes on thursdays so that i'll be home by 7pm to catch Lois and Clark
- i've always considered 7 as a lucky number
- i can answer sudoku (evil level) in less than 7 minutes
- i want to reach and travel all the 7107 island of the philippines
- i live in the planet earth and uranus is the 7th planet from the sun in our solar system

gumbo at robinsons place manila midtown
girls night out and we decided to meet at robinsons place manila (with a plan to watch movie after dinner but knew that we'll just end up talking all night long and forget about watching movies). anyways, i was surprised to find that the new wing or the midtown mall is already open and it is huge! feels like an ayala owned mall. (my bad i forgot to take pics of the facade it look so elegant.)
outside there's the usual tree with lights and what attracted me the most is this fountain... eh well i've always loved fountains!
we checked out the new stores (very few establishment is open as of now) and of course i had to buy this cute hello kitty picture frame at Clipper.
spied the food outlets and Gumbo at the third level caught our attention... it says a taste of new orleans so we decided to give it a try, besides i love their ceiling fan and their crew wear hats mimicking mardi gras party but somehow reminded us of the crews at Fridays.
anyways we ordered their special dish called Gumbo Seafood Jambalaya, its delicious and was surprised to find that they served it the way it was presented in their menu! what's funny is the crew always shout/chant "ahhhh seafood jambaalya, gumbo" whenever a customer order the dish... its like being at Cyma, difference is the crew there shout "opa!" instead whenever they serve a flaming dish. (wonder who copied who)
and this yummy rib steak
they gave us a free appetizer - fish and chips, fish aint that good (lots of breading) and the dip isnt my taste and had to ask for ketchup but hey its free anyways...love the fries though
had berry lemonade for drinks - taste really really good i could have drank the whole pitcher myself
after pigging out - simot sarap!
we are so full! food's great with big servings and the service is ok too! i highly recommend you try dining in at Gumbo, the prices are ok as well. we're about to get the bill but we spied this wicked chocolate cake from our neighbor table and knew we had to taste the sinful dessert!
boy i'm so glad we ordered the chocolate cake because it's soooo delicious! its warm and moist topped with a scoop of ice cream. (reminds me of my fave dessert, the colossal choco chip cookie at Old Spaghetti House) yum! yum!
we really need this fix coz they say chocolates can really lift up your mood or whatever, you see one of my girlfriends just broke-up with her bf of almost two years ....
well friday is my usual night out with my girlfriends, but due to work load and us scattered around the metro, we only get to see each other once a month now and if lucky twice a month. too bad my bespren was absent (she busy being a mother and attending some seminar somewhere south!) Anyways
