day 10: go vegan

Last February I also had my Things-to-do-before-the-month-ends list. I went vegan for a month. Twenty nine days of just fruits and vegetables. No meat. Just pure guts to resist temptation that is meat. I basically was an advocate of this line:

“I partake not in the meat, nor the breast milk, nor the ovum of any creature with a face”

Boom! Super evil ex with vegan powers and bass paying skills on the side

It’s from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and from evil ex # 3 who never fails to make me laugh, because hey. He's Superman. And the idea of getting psychic powers? How cool is that even?

So after my vegan-edge I lost 10 pounds and got psychic powers. I kid you not. I was able to use my psychic powers to see my crush (ehem, Kpop guy) whenever I wanted to. Okay, not really. But there was this one time I wanted to got to Agno, forced Rectorizer to go with me too. Then boom! Kpop guy was there as well. It was just me being lucky, but hey it sounds cooler when you say you have super vegan powers.

If your eating choices made you look like this. Ha

So I tried to go vegan again, because I just gained back my 10 pounds over the summer. Seriously, right? I skipped out on breakfast because we had cereal yesterday. I was opting to go buy a salad from KFC. But then me and my date for that day decided to have lunch from Agno and just have it to go so we can eat it somewhere else.


I usually hang out with a 1/3 of the 1-2-3 triplets (batchmates from STC) on Wednesdays because we have the same break. And oh my gosh she saved me and my vegan-edge. I was on the verge of just having my lunch through a straw, which was me getting a fruit shake for lunch, but she was getting lunch from this stall that sold Sizzling Tofu! You have no idea how happy I was,  I thought I could actually go vegan again.


But I was so wrong. During my 2:40 class I ended up taking a bite from an Ensaymada. God, I was so stupid. If someone goes, Gusto mo? and offers food to you the first thing you'd probably do is say, Suuuure and then take a bite. Facepalm forever. I was disappointed because the vegan-edge barely lasted a day. Sheesh.


Also Rectorizer somehow made Hipster boy so mad, so I suddenly came out with this unwritten rule to add to the H30 treaty: If one dishonors a promise, makes any member of the H3O mad the penalty is a libre. If both remaining members are mad at you the only thing that will merit forgiveness is through the ultimate libre: a blowout at a legit restaurant. We're filled with the crazies, but that's kind of how we dudes roll.

p.s.
I really need to start bringing a camera

day 9: dress up

I don't have a picture of my outfit yesterday. But I did try to put a twist to the whole dress up thing. I was really planning on dressing up like Marceline the Vampire Queen from Adventure Time. Buuuut. It was that time of the month so I don't think I'd feel comfortable in a dress just yet. So I dressed up as Marshall Lee, the AU version of Marceline. I wore a tank top and a plaid button down shirt that I just kept open. It was cool, except I forgot to put on eyeliner to complete that vampire look.

Marshall Lee, Marceline's gender-swapped other. All vampire badass in plaid

 Heart Marceline's fashion statement. Want to dress up as her for Halloween

Memory of a Memory episode. I want red shoes and a button down dress too

What I wore yesterday, plus black chucks and a tank top

Been trying to study for realsies, but I always end up waiting for my screen saver to pop out and watch Jake and Finn on the screen. Gaaaaah, what am I doing with my life?

 Hany chocolate from Rectorizer. Survived being squished from my bag

 Hello messy desk. Hello screaming Finn. Hello tissue I will use to wipe my boogers 'cause I'm sick.

This is my favorite part of the screen saver. When Jake goes all big on the screen. So kyot

day 8: one of the boys

Four words to describe me: one of the boys.

I kid you not. The dudes I hang out the most with are real guys, their sexualities are still questionable but other than that they are all dude dudes.

My first best friends from college are two dudes. We met in the strangest of places: the front seats during our Biology subject. We didn't know much about each other, but we knew three things: one, I looked like the meanest person/loner/weirdo who was always drawing; two, as seatmates we needed each other to survive and three, things will never be the same again.

Ahhh, good times. This picture is almost a year old. Shot during a Scienvb Saturday class.

We went by the name "H3O" because of Harry Potter and trio put together. It wasn't creative but it stuck, and from then on we sort of got stuck together as well. Scratch that, I sort of had to cling on to these two. They all had their separate group of people they already hang out with, because they practically knew everyone from our block being the charismatic dudes that they are. And then there was me, that literal image of your average emo kid tagging along with them. God knows what they've been through just hanging out with me, but no matter what I do they've always been there. We can go through the craziest shizz and still come out laughing, that's why I heart them both so much.

Taken during a blockmate's debut with a playboy bunny theme. We're totally gangsters plus dorks combined so we have our own hand signs.

I was planning on spending the day with two of them during my break, but as always life happens. And I got stuck trying to finish making a lousy powerpoint for a report we weren't even going to present that day.

But at least I got to eat lunch with them, and they ate all my fries.

I lack pictures, but that's only because I brought so much stuff yesterday. Also I should really start bringing my camera to school. I always have this urge to document my life in pictures, but I have this fear of snatchers and evil people in the LRT. So yeah.

After class I actually ended up having a spur of the moment after school session with two of my closest dude friends. This time I ate the fries they ordered, it was fun. I guess the thing about me is I'm just really comfortable to talk to and that dudes find it easy to talk to me is because I'm more of a dude myself. Ha. But I really enjoyed talking to them, it's fun to talk to people about about life in general. 

You should surround yourself with people who accepts you for who you are, with people you're comfortable to be yourself with and with funny people.

day 7: sing

This would have been so much cooler if I just made it the My Chem SING. I kind of just write what to do as the day goes along, but in this case I did really have to do a song number for my lolo's b-day.

It was funny how we surprised him for his 80th birthday celebration. When we fetched him from their place he was all set on treating us to that Chinese resto Shangri-la (Cajo was kind of upset when we pulled into the restaurant because he was thinking Shangri-la buffet), he even asked if he we could first pass by an ATM so he can  withdraw money. He was so cute when we were asking him what he was going to order and then he was like, The noodles syempre for long life. You can only imagine his surprise when we entered one of the function rooms. Our tita told him that all the tables up front were already reserved and that she got them a table in the back. It's kind of sad how old people get slow at times, but it sort of worked to our advantage 'cause we got him to be all surprised. Family members from his side of the family were able to make it. I sang after ate played a few numbers on the guitar. It was so embarrassing 'cause I failed during most of the song, but it's okay to fail in front of family.

 His youngest brother's a rocker. This a cool fact of life

 Ate playing one of her pieces from Primo Passo

 I can't believe that's my pamangkin. My cousins are becoming parents already

Sindac family minus two brothers

My super cute cousin is so adorable. Her parents are musicians so I bet she's going to be as musical talented as her mom and dad (they said she can already sing Rolling In The Deep, I wish I can get her to sing for me next reunion). At first she only stayed with ate and didn't mind me when I said hi. It took awhile but all I had to do was ask her if she wanted to see the fishes and she went, Yes, in her cute tiny voice. She quickly grabbed my hand as we walked to the fish pond outside of the restaurant.

 My ma and super adorable Jada

 She hearts buchi and my sister but not meeeeee

Turns out I still had my charm. Arielle Sindac: awesome with babies.

 That's my hand she's holding. My cousin and pamangkin looking at the fishes

 Still cannot get over the fact that she's holding my hand

The tip to making babies like you is talking in a baby-ish voice. Also, you just have to find out what she's interested in. I found out that my cousin loves Princess "Arel" because I asked her if she watches Disney movies and who her favorite princess was.

Crushed buchi, we were feeding the fish buchi

Lately, I 've been labeling my post as late late posts. Sigh, wish there was a way for pictures to upload faster and for me to get writing as soon as I can.

day 6: hang out with someone

Seriously didn't know that my original plans for Saturday weren't going to push through. Was supposed to attend a make up class for Kaspil 2, but before I was about to leave the house my ma told me not to go anymore. She said it was going to be a total waste of time and commute money, so I had to stay home.

At first I was like, Yeaaaah not going to school, and then went, Awww man the incentives I won't get. Bummer.

So I used the time to practice a song number for my lolo's b-day celebration and after get some sleep. But when I woke up from my nap I felt so tired and sick-ish. It was horrible. I had plans to meet up with my best friend and clothes swap at her place, but I just couldn't get out of bed. I felt so bad because I miss her so much and it was just so unfair that the weather (it was soooo hot yesterday) and my immune system were not cooperating with my plans. I had no choice, but to cash in a rain check and meet up with some other day.

And then my ma calls and she is like, this psychic heroine. She tells me that she wants to bring me out on a date and have our nails done. At first she was all, Why weren't you answering your phone?? And I was all, Ma I'm sick-ish. And she went, So you can't go out? Of course I'd have to answer, Duh ma I'm going.

My ma does dance classes 'cause she has this plan of getting back her old waistline, right after she tried the detox diet, which was 25. She's a super mom so I won't be surprised if she gets thinner than me. But then again she's always hungry after, ha. So we do a quick drive thru order of a Big 'N Tasty, fries and coke before we had our nails done at Enza. Another cool thing about where we live: we live near so many cool places.

I chose a coffee color for my fingernails and this pink color for my toes. I think the lady who cleaned my nails butchered my left ring finger, so I sort of can't feel anything from that finger right now.

After we had our nails done, we did a quick grocery run for miryenda. Our family just loves good food, especially the ones we make ourselves, that's why it's really hard to start a food diet at home.

The best gifts of the Japanese to the world: Naruto, mochi ice cream, Arashi and Japanese mayo. Once you eat this you can never go back to normal mayonnaise.

 Wheat slices + lettuce + tomatoes + cottage cheese = ♥

 Look at this sandwich. It's like it's saying, Come to me. Eat me. 

My sister's part of the Ateneo Blue Symphony and we were going to watch their concert: Primo Passo. I'm not biased or anything since she's my sister, but this orchestra is just fantastic. They're best known for their renditions of popular songs and arrange them for an orchestra to play.

 Ma and Cajo before the concert. We can never get a decent picture out of him when we want him to.

 Sunset clouds ♥

 Cajo's fave half cabs, step on his shoes and you're dead

 Deathly hallows drawn by Cajo, used to be his chucks. It's mine now >:)

So proud of my sister :) She's section head for Guitars. 

 And then I realized... She was the only one playing guitar. Forever alone, ha ha.

 Cajo: "The perfect weapon during a zombie apocalypse at school"

 Standing ovation 

 My sister, also one of the dudes. Wore the proper dress code... for guys!

 I can't believe Cajo's almost taller than me. This is my younger brother who used to be as tall as my shoulder. Aaah, they're growing up so fast. Curse you male growth spurts

 Check out this cat...

"GIVE ME YOUR FOOD"

I think I hearted almost all of their pieces which included a Journey Medley, a Menken Medley which was this mash up of popular Disney films' music, their version of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Super Mario theme, Lord of the Rings theme which was a mash up of the trilogy's themes from the movie, Jack Sparrow and their encore performance was the best: Viva La Vida. I had goosebumps all over when they played, the way you get tingles when you hear damn good music.

Also I have a pile of homework and things I need to sort out before Monday. Darn it.
