this weekend wasn't particularly restful, though it was pretty interesting. it began with an odd note when i received work e-mail early saturday morning that i had to be ready to do some remote work at the drop of a hat. in the end, said work didn't materialize and i think that contributed to the sense of never being truly fully at rest. i hate it when i start relating closer and closer to workplace cliches. but to deny that i am relating to these cliches just might make me more insufferable. i had long though that angst was retro, but then i'll have to remind myself that denial of it would then be medieval.
i found myself wishing for a blackberry aloud in the middle of a party. someone said, no you don't want that. and i said, umm, yes i do.

early saturday took a semi-poorly planned trip to Divisoria/168 land. I don't want to dwell on it too much but suffice it to say that I was riding in a car with a low-IQ driver. i should have realized that sooner. bought an evil cheapo Ipod shuffle to replace the mini i lost a few months back. im still trying to figure out how to get it to work consistently though, since it's been acting weird. i swear if i dont get it working im gonna return and give that woman at the counter a peace of my mind. i dont care if i have to brave the jungle again.

positive notes: went to a foodie eyeball at the fort. info about it at: marketmanila.com; i liked the food, and the vodka tonics, vodka on the rocks were the perfect lubricant midway through the proceedings. props to a friend for making the host give a speech towards the end of the gathering. as i related to her, i would have gone for the yelling for speech, speech. i would have never followed up with tinkling a glass with a fork. the speech turned out well anyway. throught that foodie eb, discovered an interesting blog along the way. anton.blogs.com; in particular it's interesting to read his ideas about Pinoy 2.0 and his thoughts of how pinoys could take further advantage of the web. he took good pictures of the event as well.

how much is your shuffle? gak didn't know you lost your ipod!
..and i think maybe the blackberry thing, give it a few more months of more work and baka you'll be like ugh no and throw it out a window. but it would be cool to get one for free. hehe.
Hi Fabian...it was nice meeting you at the EB! Now I regret not following your vodka tonic lead! Haha :)
Sorry to hear about your Ipod...and I know what you mean about the Blackberry and "the sense of never being truly fully at rest" in relation to work...hang in there!
hi there, was just bloghopping and stumbled in here. nicely written posts. and how much was the shuffle, btw? :) mind a link-up? i hope you don't mind, i've taken the liberty of adding you to my blogroll. :)
one of the phd's here is doing her entire dissertation on foodies. i'm gonna try to get in with her so i can get good food info. he he.
ugh on the lost ipod :(
no worries on the lost ipod. i've gotten over it. weird huh. and if i buy a new mp3 player, its NOT gonna be an ipod. i dont know. i just am not inspired any longer. just read today that brand loyalty for ipods aren't that strong on IHT. im not totally surprised.
bob and len (who i told so already): hell hath freezeth over several times. picture it, leloy's party: tipsy sharmila, very tipsy Charisse! bwahaha.
very leloy moment, we almost ran out of alcohol, after just 3 bottles of wine. good thing Kellda arrived and saved the day with her vodka contribution.
it felt like a real gimmick. 2 am chinese food at tiananmen ortigas depot with the whole crew (sans leloy, charisse and the other kiddies).

Someone: What's up with F
E. Zosa: Acting gay or something

E. Zosa: I'm not a Lesbian!

Hahaha now I feel bad missing it! That I really had to see. Hahaha (Absolutely perfect timing for my flu, sigh)
god, i can't imagine that. sorry i missed it! ooh, i miss 2am chinese food. everything closes fucking early here.
hi fabian, hope the malfunctioning ipod works out, or you get a rebate from the vendor.
I am also a fan of durian chips, saw your post on MM's sampaloc post. But they don't help me get over my aversion to the fruit though, still too stinky
hahahahaha winner exchange pala.
and how typical for lel to run out of alcohol!
Sobrang late, but it was good to meet you there, F.
To Anonymous, who's the PhD doing a study on foodies? Need to be in touch with more gastro-geeks for work-related projects.
