I Blame Myself (and Starbucks)

I only have myself (and Starbucks) to blame for my seemingly never ending weight gain ;-P I can't seem to escape Starbucks no matter which damn country I'm in. I do however, really like their new Espresso Java Chip Frappuccino in Philippines. It's my new drink here (aside from buko/coconut, etc). People still don't know how to spell my name. Oh, and I do like the little siomai from Chow King (when I'm really hungry) with the calamansi (cum quat) and some sort of chilli thing.

I Miss The Little Ones in Pampanga

For a while, my posts will probably be out of chronological order. I'm sorry that I've gotten a little bit complacent when it comes to my posts, perhaps it's this humidity that is giving me that attitude ;-P

Mang Inasal & Starbucks

Quite an erratic day, from the weather to the sequence and happenings. It was the first day I was even able to get a pair of jeans on! Yes, I wasn't sweating to the point of not being able to get the fabric over my knees, haha. Gross. Yes, I know, but that's what happens when you're in wildly insane humidity. What do you expect, it's the tropics, right? When it rains, it pours, and it did that at some point in the day... although, the morning started off really sunny and blue skied. Oh mother nature... So the photos are just as random as the day.

Check out this little boy's t-shirt graphic. I wasn't able to get a proper photo if it because by the time I pulled my camera out, we were about to pull away from the gas pump. It's meant to say something like, "my letter is F, so FUCK YOU!" with a graphic giving the finger ;-P
nice feather duster, huh?
Mang Inasal, the chicken marinade is oh so scrumptious here! Oh, and it's unlimited rice, Lol. You know, we've eaten at quite a few high-end restaurants, and the service, honestly, is so much better at the fast food/take out joints. Younger staff (mostly teens) and they don't try taking your food away while you're still eating or when only one of you is left eating. Oh, and they are NOT pretentious like the ones at the posh restaurants! Ugh.
My favourite tree to hang out/sleep on. Ingkong's tree :)
My shoes got wet from stepping in puddles that looked really shallow, but clearly weren't :(
So pretty the colours by Caronia. I've yet to buy the rest of the colours in the collection. So cheap! PHP27. Cha-ching, bargain!!!
