catch up

It's been a good two weeks since I last wrote here, and a lot has happened since then. Time to catch up on some things. Hehehe.

I was bedridden for much of last week, thanks to the insane mix of tequila, margarita, vodka, and red wine I drank with my cousins during our overnight stay at Fontana. No more drinking for a very long time, or at least not that much ever again. It was the hangover from hell, and not even my brand new laptop could take away the pain I felt every time I moved.

Brand new laptop?

Yep. Since my desktop's graphics card got fried two weeks ago after over three years of nearly continuous use, I was forced to abstain from playing any computer games. No longer. Now I can play Modern Warfare 2 while lying down on my bed. Hahaha. I got my dad to buy my aunt's high-end laptop a week ago, and now I have all that my old desktop could offer plus more. Fingerprint recognition?

Yes
.

No more passwords for me. A swipe of any of my fingers and my Windows Vista account opens up. Surfing the Internet while lying down in bed and munching on Milky Way chocolates is a far cry from alcohol-induced headaches and stomach pains. The hangover from hell had given way to a taste of heaven on earth.

Now this kind of lifestyle appears to be the very epitome of laziness, but contrary to what you might expect I was out of the house more often. Once my hangover cleared I went out to play Frisbee for my PE class. Unfortunately, it was too much and too soon, and I was forced to sit down after a few minutes of tossing a Frisbee around.

Just this weekend I went on a trip to Intramuros with my friends. Hehehe. we had been planning to do this for the longest time (I think it's been a year already) and when we finally did it we only got to tour one street. Just one street. There was so much to see and we were sucked into a gallery of antique furniture and paintings - too bad taking photos was not allowed inside - which took so much of our time that the museum at San Agustin Church was closing by the time we got there. Ditto Casa Manila.

After shooting a lot of photos of ourselves (see here and here) we had dinner at one of the many restaurants in Chinatown. Best pata tim yet. Hahaha.

Yesterday marked me and my gummi bear's 11th month together. Only another 30 days to go before we reach our first anniversary. To celebrate, we had lunch at Chocolate Kiss. Best. Chicken Kiev. Ever. Hahaha.

Last thing. Thesis. Groundwork is done. Revision and data gathering to follow. Hehehe.
