The Town

We went to the older part of Pasig during the Election Day to vote - it’s the older part of town where I grew up. Most of its historical spots were still there, including the really old gift shops and school supplies stores and bakeries that I remember from early childhood. The streets are more crowded now, though, with more fast food chains lining the streets. 

So anyway on our way to the public school where we were supposed to vote, we drove by the old library and museum (though now it is just called a museum):

Back then when I was a kid, this building wasn’t that yellow. It was the Pasig Library and Museum. Before it even became a public libary, it was HOME to an actor or actress, I just forgot the name. It was a mansion in the middle of the town, and at some point there was a railroad somewhere there. Anyway I only heard that story when I was kid, because I was so amazed at how huge the inside of the library was, and I couldn’t remember my way around when I was inside. I remember visiting this place with my sister, and we would borrow plenty of books, and sometimes we would hang out in there and just go through the huge hardbound books that we either cannot take out, or do not want to bring all the way to the house because they were too heavy.

I remember going to the children’s section, but only enjoyed looking at the pictures in the books, but I would prefer to go to where the “grown-up” books are, meaning the romantic novels, dramatic stories, or suspense thrillers. One time I looked at the pictures of a huge book of medical studies and diseases, but I was so disturbed by what I saw, and I felt awfully sick. I think we went to buy some burgers and snow cones after so I’d feel better >.<

So anyway, when I was a kid, my sister and I would spend a lot of our summer days visiting this public library, which is now just a museum. I have no idea what’s inside it now, and what it looks like. I remember visiting the museum part of this when I was a kid, though I cannot remember what were on display.

Beside this library was the town plaza, as in your traditional plaza across the church, where there are lamp posts and benches and plants and flowers, though I am not sure if I remember correctly that there is a fountain in the middle of it. I wasn’t able to take a photo, though, because we had to turn left towards the side of the really old Pasig church, on our way to the public school.

This means I wasn’t able to take a photo of the church too, except for one part of the bell tower.

The church I grew up with, until I just stopped going. (Aaargh, SUDDEN INFLUX of memories about certain…. people. I think I was in high school. Or grade school. Or early high school. Argh. Anyway. Looking back… >.< I can’t say it >.< Certain church boys. Or twins.) ANYWAY, this is a really old church, and it is so beautiful from the outside. Inside, it still looks nice, but I think a greater part of the altar and the niches have been redesigned, and most of it has been gilded, taking away the old, traditional, homey, wooden, simple look. Personally I think it was more beautiful how it looked before - when everything was either in stone or in wood - rather than having everything gilded or encased in whatever ornament. 

(residues from the influx >.<)

So anyway, we got to the public school, lined up for almost four hours, and voted.  

Finally, Charlie’s XD

So finally, nakapunta na ako ng Charlie’s XD Friends from everywhere have gone there and asked me if I’ve tried it, because it’s just a few minutes’ walk from our current house. However, ako yung malapit, ako yung never pang nakapunta. So last night after kendo (there was shiai and it was my first time to fight with a guy, some nice person named Jackson; I lost after what seemed to be ages of being inside a Pugon because of the heat), Allan, Ziggy, my sister, and I went because Zig wanted burgers, and we wanted to eat someplace near lang because my sister still had to work and I had to pack. 

So, I got the Angus with fries and it is Totally Happy Food XD 

Cheerful Minds

As Allan-sempai described: CHEERFUL MINDS. 

:D

Burger and Fries and Mihara-san :D

FOUR MOGGETS

Ryan-san told me today that he has gained weight since he left Manila some time last year (some time in the first quarter of 2009). He gained an equivalent of 

FOUR MOGGETS.

Mogget is around 10 lbs. now and Ryan-san gained, like, 40+ pounds. 

So, FOUR MOGGETS. 

So alam na nating lahat what happens when one eats 10 yumburgers or 2 family pizzas in one sitting. >.<

Goodness :)

So, lately, I have been doing a lot of cleaning around my room, by parts. I’m not sure if I mentioned that I cleaned my door (I know, it sounds weird) and a part of my wall and my cactus rack and organized my bags last Friday, and then the atmosphere started to clear right away, even if little by little. Lately I have been sleeping well which is great  

So since then, I have cleaned many parts of my room and sprayed on surfaces and windows and tonight I cleaned up half of my closet. I gave away some things and discovered which travel toiletries I need to buy. I also found some clothes I have not worn for quite some time. No matter how lazy I am, somehow I find peace and I enjoy cleaning up parts of my room after work. Tomorrow I’ll clean up the other half of my closet. My room already smells so clean even of half of it still looks like a mountain of junk But it feels good that the other half is quite clean

Then, tonight, as I cleaned up my closet and was organizing the few make-ups that I kept, my dad asked if I want burger from Good Burgers and I said I wanted a cheeseburger Then he stepped out and came back with burgers for all. Happiness

Now, totoo na talaga. I will do my homeword na and study Good night
