Listening.. that's what I learned from all my classes. I'm planning to conduct my listening exercise with you as my subject. Kaya ko naman ang 2 hours na pakikinig sa kung ano man ang sasabihin mo.. I'll try hard to decipher hidden meanings and such. I promise. Maybe I can even squeeze something out of you. Maybe a secret you've been keeping from me..who knows?

Sana minsan makinig ka rin naman sa ibig kong sabihin. Di na naman ako hihingi ng 2 hours eh..
Just for a moment, I hope you'd listen to what I don't say.

You know, I always let the small things slip. Sometimes even the relatively small.
I have to be careful.. and so do you. Please don't make it happen.. it's a relatively big problem.
Don't let it slip.
.... for I just might slip away.

All she wants to be told is that her thinking that he is taking her for granted is a lie.

You are so lucky she is not childish. and she's not bratty. and she's demanding. and she's not nagging. She's so lucky she's not as weak. and she's not that soft. and she's not short of strong. Best of all, she's a pro in concealing her feelings and thoughts.

Although she feels you're trying to ruin her craft...

Why is it that when she's in your arms she loses it?

Tengaling

You know what that is? it's deep fried tenga. Fat filled bliss.

Following my post on candies, let's make a trip down memory lane with chichirya this time. Even if you knew they are composed of half air and half product, you'd still buy!

The 1 peso chichirya hall of fame:

Sweet corn - the small pack with round yellow balls. In my opinion, this tastes sooo much better than the big pack by Regent.

Piknik - Cheesy stars in that yellow wrapper with a picnic pasket. This sure can get your hands all tartrazine-y yellow!

Cheese Hotdogs - i love this! usually comes in twos, barrel-like and had a weird but likable cheese taste. sometimes i chance upon the makunat ones which i still find delicious!

Kobi - I remember this having a blue wrapper. Potato fries come cheap!

Rinbee - really thin cheese sticks that i find so easy to munch down!

I know there's more that I just can't seem to remember. help me refresh my memory?

What's in your 1 peso chichirya hall of fame?

Today's craving: Hansel Mocha Biscuits

How exactly do you find people who will accompany you in your search to find that one thing that will satisfy your craving?
them:"Inerview or InTerview? inernet or inTernet?"
me: "interview/internet."
That was how I found them.. and I learned a secret handshake too.

oh, and no. I wasn't lucky enough to find Hansel Mocha Biscuits.

Rose colored glasses:

Thank you for smiling at me.. watching me dance polka and chacha with two left feet trying to make it right.

Thank you, my double chocolate chip cookie.

When I was younger I found the neighborhood sari-sari store very fascinating. With jars filled with colorful confections and biscuits and the ceiling with dangling clusters of junk food, I thought it was paradise. It was then that I took pleasure in choosing between candy or chichirya (sometimes I chose both) and found happiness in a wrapper or bag.

Candy rollcall... Remember these?

Lipps - that red/pink hard candy that colors your mouth wild! You'd eat this and after you do you stick out your tongue for everyone to see!haha This had a hint of a bitter taste dontcha think?

Big Boy - my favorite gum! This has a red wrapper, if memory serves me right. I think this is the perfect soft gum.. i remember that tv commercial with 2 kids "small.. big.. and Big Big. Big Boy!" and then there's this little kid sayin, "I don't want a small bubble gum" Cute! I can't find this gum anywhere anymore. :(

Peter's Butterball - how can you not remember this?hehe I noticed this is usually served at wakes..


Tarzan - nevermind that it's rock-hard! it tastes good! my dad says this has been around even during his day..and I still see these being sold in some sari-sari stores!

Frutos - comes in different fruit flavors! lemon, strawberry, orange, and melon. My favorite would be lemon and melon :)

Nougat - nutty white soft candy (although when I would buy it from the store it was always rock hard) that's not too sweet..just right.

Yakee! - I am very fond of sour food so it is no surprise that I fancy this. this is a rip-off of my favorite sour candy, Crybaby. When I couldn't find Crybaby around, this is the closest substitute.

Bazooka - shrunken Bazookas have arrived...and WITHOUT the comic strips we used to collect. Gone are the big comic strip Bazookas of the past. *I recently found imported Bazooka WITH COMIC STRIPS!!!!! hehe


What's your favorite candy/gum?

*first one to comment gets a bag of free candies of his/her choice!heehee*

How to get a headache (and get pissed off at yourself at the same time):

Step 1: decide to be a responsible student and proceed to work on tasks
Step 2: log on to blogger.. try different combinations of usernames and passwords. Wait and find out after 10 valuable minutes that none of those you can think of work.
Step 3: check your blog url listed on the class' list and realize that it's not the correct one.
Step 4: Learn that you have actually have 5 accounts on blogger..all of which you vaguely remember.
Step 5: Figure out that you have to inform everyone about your correct blog address.

!!!TRIED AND TESTED!!!

I don't need to say that I have wasted precious time doing everything else and nursing this helluva headache.

*huff*
So much for starting the sem right.


*to everyone: sorry for the wrong info (re: blog address)
