Edcel.net – mind games

Somehow I want to place all my travels in a collage or in an entry of some sort. Given the number of travels I’ve been around the country has really been helpful in making me explore the different locations and spots.

Yes, a backpack for the essentials, and a camera for memories.
Throw me a couple of dollars for free trips won’t hurt either. hehe

After the weekend hangout, I brought home some pizza and shared it the next morning with my next door housemate, Cherry and her daughter. When I checked on them, they were also preparing breakfast which I, with a thick face, said that I’ll buy some juice to pair the food with. Obviously, I joined her in cooking up some french toast! I never really thought that french toast would be so easy. All you had to do is mix egg with milk, cover a slice of loaf bread with the mixture and fry it on a pan with some butter until it would become brown. Top it with some maple syrup and voila!

In the course of buying a pack of orange juice, I bought some bananas to add to the toast. I was planning to get some mangoes but the store didn’t sell any. Anyway, I was actually full after eating the toast plus last night’s pizza that I skipped lunch altogether. hehe.

French toast!
Sounds sosy but actually easy. They should just call it fried bread with syrup instead.

I played badminton with a couple of friends at work. Actually, they were my former colleagues but since I transferred to another account, we don’t get to hangout as often as we could. It was nice as I was playing a full two hours; and to think that we just got off from our shift then. I was so tired already afterwards but still felt restless. Badminton has probably been the only sport I’m good at playing. I suck in all others. At least I got some form of physical activity during the week. But I need to get this headache off first. I’m getting more and more upset at the situation that I can’t sleep but I still don’t find a way to get some.

Yes I need to. I still have a lot of things to finish and I’m glad I’m done with the work at the office. I just have to hurry this up so that I will have something to do over the weekend that I can look forward to.

Stay awake, Ed.

You could’ve just shut up. Your voice is too loud so stop yelling. News is news but you shouldn’t just go out there like an open book. Well, it’s your take and that’s how you want to exit the stage and it’s just probably right that you should go out with a bang. But then, whatever; just stop shouting. You’re just too much and it’s making me upset that it’s making me wonder WTF? all around.

Went out one night and joined a former colleague at work who invited my friend Doi to hangout at their loft. Since I’m thick-faced, I invited myself to the small get-together for food, movies and drinks. After the event, I’ve realized the small but significant elements of a great weekend hangout.

1. Lights – got to prepare the lights to set the mood in the room. We want the atmosphere to be warm and comfy and cozy at the same time.

2. Appetizers - coke, cookies and chips for starters. You want everybody to have something to nibble on while getting acquainted and catching up on things before the main course.

3. Boob Tube – You got to have an entertainment system. I was amazed at the size of the flat screen television and the setup of the system because of integrating the PSP, DVD player etc. Just one remote control for the games, movies, shows and others. This made me want to set up my own system if ever I have the budget.

4. Entertainment – the actual entertainment itself. It’s good to have a variety of things to do: games, shows, movies, videos; so many to choose from you won’t get bored at all!

5. Main Course – Pizza! Get a box (or more) of pizza and everything seems perfect. It’s not that hard to prepare as you can always order some for delivery right to your doorstep. No hassle!

6. Fizz – and drinks they are. Martinis, Bailey’s, Rum etc. I didn’t expect this but I was happy that I got to try some. Cheers!

7. People – Definitely if you want to have a good time, you need to have great company. It would be useless if everyone doesn’t want to enjoy the night by hanging out.

So there you have it; nothing really complicated but something to always keep in mind. Thanks guys for the company and thanks to Jens and Bambi for being such wonderful hosts! Till next time! hehe.

My eyes I mean.

It doesn’t show that I’ve gone from a temporary break despite the burned skin. Probably it’s because of the tired eyes. Yes, they’re red and my lids are failing on me. I’m still tired but I feel better. I guess I’m just thinking too much that I can’t seem to move forward because of too much thinking. hehe. I will be working on some more tasks again and I wish I can comply by the end of the week. Wish me luck.

PS: Was surprised at the number of comments I’ve received that were really heartfelt. Thanks guys. hehe.
