Chicken and Asado

February 3, 2013, the day after we went to the flow fest, Ate Len dragged me to Sta.Lucia mall to look for accessories for her new phone. Since HTC Desire X is relatively a new model (around 6 months since its release), we failed in our goal. Its accessories are still hard to find. So for temporary screen protector, she had them customize for her phone. It was a bit unsightly so she was resolved to look for them again next time. I had the Samsung Galaxy Y unlocked. It was locked to Smart since it was free from her post paid plan. It has been a year so hopefully, it was fine and wasn't illegal. ( There's a law being drafted about banning unlocking of phones within a year of acquiring it without the consent of the service provider in the US I think. Dunno if it was passed. I believe there is none here in the Philippines.)

We had our late lunch at The Chicken Rice Shop near the National Bookstore. It was one of our favorite restaurant in there. She loves Hainanese Chicken in there.

Feels After Feels

I was so overwhelmed by my Gendarya feels that I felt like I need to channel it out a bit off my system by trying on a new series. I mean what harm could it do? The setting is medieval just like GoT/ASOIAF but truly, the set was a bit sub par. The costumes were nice enough but not so much. The armors are less beautiful. Even the CGs are a bit... well, you get what I mean. And it does not hurt that it has/had Joe Dempsie in it. It was harmless, right?

How fucking wrong I was. Little did I know that I am trying to get out of that Gendarya trap and heading straight to the next one. No one informed me that Merlin is another feels-inducing shit. And so, I gave up a month of my life inside the Merthur cave wallowing in my feels.

And surprisingly, this entry has not much no spoiler.

I'm Going to Do Some Food Dump.

So, this will be image heavy, very image heavy. The photos here were mostly taken using a mobile phone so the resolution sucks. But some were taken by a camera so they'll be a bit better.

Food were from a lot of different food chains and restaurants, while others were more random stuffs. 

This included Chic-Boy, Dampa, Max's Restaurant, Classic Savory, Friuli, Fancy Cakes, Banaple and other stuffs. 

I will repeat. HEAVY IMAGE-LADDEN POST.

I Went to Divisoria with My Family

I love my new distracting lovely neon orange Velma socks with my Bumble Bee flats. I wish I bought the navy blue leotard/stockings/whatever-it-was too.

It has been our tradition to go there for cheap early Christmas shopping for years. We go there usually around November to avoid too much crowd, although they're starting to thicken now. 

I Have Dirty Hands. LOL.

You can actually see up to where I'm currently reading and there's no need for my super ghei butterfly bookmark. LOL.
(nope,that is not shadow but my grime)

I'm halfway through A Feast for Crows. *sigh* After the storm of A Storm of Weddings Swords, this one was... uhh.. not exactly boring.. but close to it. Really. The plot's pacing is waaaaay too slow. Seriously, a whole chapter for convincing an already totally-smitten character with sex charm of some plan which would only totally fail on their next appearance? George R.R. Martin can kill major characters in less than a page.

I'm halfway through it and there's still only 2 Arya chapters with around 300 pages in between them. Yes I am totally an Arya worshiper. They have a lot of random other characters whose POV kept on cropping up. In the previous books, extra characters' POV are only present in prologues and epilogue.

I Confess

I know I was supposed to stop myself but I couldn't. I listened to Sweet Pool Drama CD. I was supposed to listen to it after my semester. (Hell, I was supposed to start on A Game of Thrones after my semester.)

I Ate at Hap Chan

I went to SM North Annex with some friends and was about to enter a Japanese resto when we noticed the Hap Chan beside it. I dragged my friends there instead. It turns out my friend frequents a branch of it with her family. I must say that I liked the place better than what we were about to enter. 

I Wonder

How did Gangnam Style get so popular?
