…is that it’s asking me to melt my frozen heart. The warmth of summer has made me forget my heart’s pleas of being able to beat again, as I walked the earth too silently. Without heartbeats.

Now as I wake up, I see water. I see damp surroundings. Gray skies. All asking me to thaw this heart of mine. And feel. To keep me warm. To revive my spirit. To regain my soul. To keep me alive.

It’s hard to ignore what it is asking from me because I’m freezing. And surprisingly, I don’t mind at all.

…well, I’m not going to talk about the new Anson’s actually. I’m going to talk about its NEW and super high-tech carpark!

We were on the way to Glorietta when my dad suddenly asked, “Where are we parking?”, I mumbled, “the usual.”, and he said, “well, you’re the usual is already nonexistent. There’s no Parksquare 2 anymore.” Okay, I cannot be blamed for not knowing because (1) I don’t drive, and (2) if ever I frequent Makati, I commute because it’s so expensive to use a car to go to Makati ( gosh, the prices for gasoline are way ridiculous already and I could go to Glorietta for a mere 25 bucks by LRT and MRT ! ).

Anyway, going back, we decided to park at Anson’s building, the latest project of Ayala Malls. My dad parked there yesterday while he was waiting for me to finish shopping for makeup school supplies. We were in such shock when after the guard checking the car, my dad had to stop on the card slot, virtually “stamp” his thumb for a fingerprint record, as the card slot took a picture of our car, as it released the parking card! All I could say – high tech, hi tech, and reason enough to charge fifty bucks flat rate? I really hope they’d lower it a bit though! Fifty’s a bit too step for mall parking – I’d take it if they would build a bridge connecting Anson’s and Landmark at least, so that we wouldn’t have to cross the street to go to Landmark. Pfft.

Twas one Saturday night while I was eating a deelish pizza from Sandy’s when Phoebe smsed me giddily ( well, at least that was the vibe! ), calling me beef girl ( well, I really am! ) , swearing that I’d love Pepper Steak’s Shimofuri Steak because it just melted in her mouth. Considering tender, and melt-in-your-mouth beef are so rare, she quickly invited me for dinner Wednesday night to anticipate my “disoriented moment,” as my teeth would sink in that steak. Good thing we pushed thru, along with my friends Didi and Fran, it was indeed a Pepper Lunch night for all of us!

Also present were Jayvee, Juned, and AJ, fresh from an event ( with Fritz joining us later ). As expected, there was a queue outside the resto, but it was a fast-moving one, so we didn’t have any problem with looking for seats.

Well, enough stalling, I’m going to start rambling about my food. One, two, three, go!

Today’s a good day as I hear really, really good news! David Cook wins American Idol! Wooo!

Regrets, regrets for I haven’t followed American Idol this season.

David Cook‘s voice is phenomenal, his style nothing close to ordinary.

I’d actually pay to watch this guy sing live.

Watch this guy go big. Make crowds roar. Make hearts flutter.

He is so far the only American Idol winner that I actually like ! Hahaha!

Congratulations to my bet, David Cook!

One night, when I was hanging out with a guy friend of mine I haven’t heard from since highschool, he told me, ” If I were THAT depressed, I would’ve dated her.”

Right then and there, inexplainable frustration welled inside of me as I could not help but blurt out, “So, what happens when you’re not depressed anymore, you leave that girl? So how about her? Did you know that maybe she would have been so attached to you ? How could you let go just that fast? How could you? ”

Okay, I’ve officially made my friend feel like he was the devil. He finished his drink and did not say a word.

Saturday night was just so rainy that my date L and I had to brave the floods ( the car, at least ), get all soaked in rainwater ( which, I might say, strangely pains my muscles ), to be able to find a place to grab dinner and chitchat. I left L to decide where he wanted to have dinner, and when we were in the Greenhills area, he asked me, “Would you like to try Angel’s Kitchen?” I immediately said sure since I think I’ve heard of it before, but I’ve just never had the chance to try it there.

Yesterday, in the midst of the impossible noon heat , I was out on business, and as I was heading back home, I fetched my sisters who were taking up swimming lessons at Ace Water Spa.

Silly me, it’s a few streets away from home and I’ve never tried going in that place!

When I arrived, my sisters were still billing out in the restaurant area, so I looked around and observed the cramped tables full of families, with the kids with hair still damp from being water babies, eating to their hearts’ content. Yhave to agree – what’s a better thing to do after swimming than munching some food? Heehee.

While the nice sister in me patiently waited, a few mini-cakes caught my attention, and I took two of them home since I’ve had this really bad craving of either sweets or really salty foods for the past few days, that I just couldn’t resist just plain looking at them. I.must.take.them.home.

Hahaha no, it’s not another emo post that would make you roll your eyes as I wallow in self pity or depression again. It’s an event I attended at Mag:Net Cafe last Tuesday, David and Goliath’s Little Losers Press Launch.

Named after his father and his dog, David & Goliath combines Goldman’s sense of humor with simple graphic imagery to define a fashion line that is clearly, above and beyond the overtly obnoxious slogan tees that plague the market today. In essence, quips from David & Goliath that run from sassy declarations like “I can tell your bag is fake” to attitudinal proclamations of “Anything you can do, I can do better,” gives the wearer a hip and trendy pulpit from which they can make their fashionable statements. And today, in the spirit of constant innovation and creativity, Goldman’s Stupid Factory has churned a new batch of graphic misfits called the Little Losers that represent a humorous path to self-expression tinged with irony and wit.

They launched “The Little Losers” which showcases 57 characters, and what can I say? Last night, I embraced the loser in me and had alot of fun watching Gabe Mercado’s SPIT, laughing my heart outs until my eyes are nonexistent anymore. Yes, I had fun being a loser for the night and I’ve never laughed that much in ages!

I woke up late yesterday ( Saturday ) because I had no office that day. I was supposed to postpone my trip to Tagaytay with friends already when I woke up to a text message plea from J to come along because we don’t go out of town much. Since the circumstances seemed cheerful and more optimistic in the household, I was able to take a quick shower, dress up in time, and head for our meeting place. Sometime along 1 oclock in the afternoon, us girls + 1 boy were complete to have our awaited late lunch at Tagaytay. Guess where? Of course, our less adventurous streak for the weekend led us to Buon Giorno, our favorite Italian resto in Tagaytay, and as C has never tried it before there, we sought to bring him there to make him understand why we love the place so much!
