i am functioning under awesome's time. so i walked at 5AM with him 1/2km to where the jeepneys are. went aboard with him. got off where i can buy booze. walked down to dad's and mom's. stopped over the breakfast/lunch eatery across the street where dad used to buy breakfast/lunch. and bought soup and noodles and egg rolls and grilled pork. chatted with the proprietor. about how dad used to call her from across the street to have food delivered (a special service for dad coz they don't deliver), then i went with my goods and chatted with mom across the street for a bit before going home. then cried my heart out. i really miss my dad.
My life is a coloring book where everything is forever summer, it's always weekends and everyday feels like a holiday in happy hues. There are some hot pink laughter, emerald blue lovin', green teardrops, yellow smiles, turquoise hugs, red sorrows and purple anger. And more hot-pink-laced-with-aquamarine laughter. There's so much laughter, coming out in rainbow peals. Hey, I think I'm drunk! Or not! I'm just forever high!

Nothing
Merrily Farting
So Awesome is awake at 4AM preparing for work and I won't even elaborate on the title and he's like a 2nd grader still trying to steal some sleep on the couch. After which, I can’t even continue writing this coz he keeps on PEEKING here and trying to get me to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep. Grrrrrrrrrrr. And keeps on being snugly. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Subdued Devious Horns
So it’s almost 4.am and I have the most minimal dosage of alcohol ever encountered by a boozy person who likes the booze on a Friday night. Even Friday night is surprised! Because it was one of the rarest encounters by Friday night with me! Just waiting for Awesome to wake up. Gosh, nurses are so grown up when they have work, especially early morn the next day!
And going back to the topic of boozing and alcoholic content, this is MINIMAL for moi, trust me. So minimal that I feel my angelic halo’s soothing warmth that's settling around my unruly curls is penetrating into my brains, telling me to go to sleep coz it’s almost 4.am. The devilish horns are so totally subdued. For the past 4 weeks. I think they're gonna fight back tomorrow. We'll see!

My Life as Reflected on Facebook (Circa September 2008 to February 2009)
Ok. I've been putting this project off for a year and a half now. That is to collect all my FB stats and post them here. I started out manually; scrolling down my wall and copy-pasting everything to a note pad. Then I accidentally clicked on a link and got taken to another page. So there.
Then, I discovered an .ipa that downloads all my stats into my ipod touch. Alas, I didn't have to keep scrolling down to what seems like the center of the Earth anymore! But I had to do loads of typing, which I didn't have time for. That time, I was too busy juggling between meeting HR-related deadlines and advancing to the number 1 spot in Cafe World.
So I went into research mode and I discovered an FB app that exports my FB stats to an excel file that I can easily download. Still it wasn't able to collect anything beyond the 2nd half of 2009. Which is a moot point, actually.
Finally in February this year, I found out that FB already allows you to download a backup of your EVERYTHING! Photos, albums, videos, friends, all wall activities since the beginning of time -- the works!
And yesterday afternoon, I was in the zone of memories and histories and proofs and individualism and favorite things, which made me post this on my wall:
So I realized that what I had been putting off for the past year and a half, I'm already actually in the mood to do right now. So finally, all my FB stats, in periodic installments, for my viewing pleasure, again and again. Because yes, I love my life and myself and I always enjoy my thoughts, my quirks, my feelings and my activities even if others may not. So here goes:
| Yeah! Hollywood's on a Roll! |
February 2, 2009 at 9:40 pm
| Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa, Rocks! |
February 22, 2009 at 9:14 pm
| the movie Role Models is heartwarming and so damn funny! |

The Lonely Sunday Brunch
It feels so strange to have the house all to myself and the brunch all to myself on a Sunday morning. While I am satisfied with 2 pieces of Hot and Spicy Spam and half a cup of rice, he always wants the full spread. Lechon, kinilaw, beef soup and seaweed one Sunday, home-made grilled pork belly, sinigang soup, veggies and noodles the next and squid, bangus, chorizo and blue marlin two Sundays after and so on. We usually eat leftovers the rest of the week. Hahahaha!
After countless Sunday feasts, today, my 2 pieces of spam were looking rather forlorn on the plate. Of course they still tasted yummy and I enjoyed devouring them while listening to the cheesiest music known to mankind. (I prepare my karaoke list every Sunday with these songs. Because I believe that Karaoke should be all about cheesy, outdated songs that when played in a different place at a different time, would give me the urge to pull my hair out or punch someone)
Anyhoo. Lonely weekend meals. The downside of living with someone whose profession calls for weekend work every now and then. At least I have the handymen fixing the neighbors’ rooftop for company. I can see them through the window over the sink. And they can see me. That’s why I am fully clothed.
Of Saturday And Sobriety
Last night was utterly unbelievable.
I did not have any booze at all, not even a single drop of it. And I hit the sack at around 8PM.
8PM!!!
Now, talking to my reflection in the laptop: Where is that crazy/boozy girl called Celeste and what have you done to her?
Slept at 8PM! With no booze! On a Saturday night! Can you believe that???
Okay, moving on.

Comfort in Spamming with Sinful Iced Coffee
Addicted to Spicy Spam for almost 10 years. The key is not to fry but to microwave per slice for about 1 minute. Retains the Tabasco flavor! Works as well for Black Pepper Spam and Garlic Spam! \m/
And even when I'm broke, I only buy Nescafe Gold or Taster's Choice, otherwise I don't buy instant coffee at all. But no, I don't drink coffee everyday (or coke) ever since I decided my priority was alcohol way back in '04. And this is why I'm sleepless at quarter to six. Nescafe Gold + Coffeemate + Sugar + Ice + Fundador! \m/
