FrancisM, Dad’s, Sun Cellular, Books

Last Saturday night, Eat Bulaga hosts held a fund-raising show at Zirkoh in Timog Avenue Quezon City for the benefit of their ailing friend, Francis M. All proceeds will be given to the Master Rapper to help him in his rising hospital bills.

 

As I watched news of that the other night, a raised eyebrow and a loud “Nye” escaped me. If anybody needs help to pay for hospital bills, that’s not Francis M. I know his friends meant well, but, if they really wanted to help him, why didn’t they just give him cash out of their own fat pockets and instead made the show for the benefit of the poor leukemia patients?

I finally availed of the 139-peso eat-all-you-can merienda buffet at Dad’s in Glorietta 3. Here’s how it went:

(No, pictures, I was too busy eating.)

Round I

A serving of pancit malabon

A bowl of tokwa’t baboy

A piece of mini-pandesal with some kind of beef filling

2 pieces of lumpiang toge

 

 

Round 2

Half a serving of Pancit Bihon

Half a serving of Carbonara

2 pcs. siomai

2 slices bread with garlic spread

2 small squares of Maja Mais

 

Round 3

A piece of Bananacue

A piece of Kamotecue

A small bowl of ginatan

Bibingka

2 pieces Palitaw

A cream puff

Some black round thing covered in desiccated coconut

 

 

Sadly, there was no more Round 4. You win, meryenda buffet, you win. I still haven’t tried the puto’t dinuguan, the goto, the pancit lomi, the classis mami, the puto bungbong, the triangular sandwich, the siopao, and the other kakanins. But I will be back, with a vengeance!

Dialogue:

Kat: Why are all our dates just about food?

Ferdie: Because it’s the only thing we have in common.

 

(Very true, but still, we’re together. )

Sun Cellular

My last two phone bills amounted to no more than 200 pesos each, and in bold letters, the words “No payment required” were printed. I was also weirded out—how can my bill be that low when I use my phone to plurk and bloghop almost everyday? And then, I got a text message saying I’ve reached 70% of my maximum credit limit and therefore must pay asap lest service be interrupted. What the?

Books

I picked up a book at NBS yesterday entitled The World’s Most Evil Men. Oooh, can’t wait to read. Then I asked myself “Why do I love evil men?”Seriously, I’m into the lives of serial killers, rapists, molesters, political tyrants, and religious maniacs.

And I also got myself a reprint of Pugad Baboy 1!Yay! And book 6 and 7 of the comic book Y:The Last Man.
