This is What I Did Last Saturday

I'm going to tell you what I did last Saturday. Yes. Last Saturday. I know it's Tuesday already and actually just a few hours away from Wednesday and that whatever I might have to say may have a much better account over at my wifey's blog but hey, I just really need to write something because I'm afraid if I succumb to this writer's block that's been plaguing me the past few weeks then my brain or at least the part of my brain that's responsible for writing, might atrophy and that would be sad. And yes, that was a very long sentence. Anyway, I was stuck in Pasay early that Saturday morning while Jen took her midterm exam for their company's Management Development Program. I was supposed to head on to the Pentax service center to pick up our digicam which has just been repaired but I forgot the service invoice in my office drawer because I tend to be stupid like that sometimes. It wasn't too bad really. I got to talk to Karen, one of my professors from college and incidentally heading the said Management Development Program (which will be from here on referred to as MDP because it's too long to say the whole thing and besides, acronyms are cool.)  and her partner Amy. We got to talk about computers and blogging and travel and tourism and politics and philosophy. I won't bore you with the details but trust me, I was brilliant. I know because I was parotting the words of people who are generally considered to be brilliant. I won't tell you who because they're obscure and that will ruin the illusion of my intelligence.

So Jen finished the exam 30 minutes ahead of everybody else because she's not only a hottie, she's really smart too. Also, she has really big boobies. Yeah I know. I'm lucky like that. So because we had the rest of the day to enjoy, we headed off to the Mall of Asia  to find something brainless and pedestrian to do. We decided to catch Shrek the 3rd. I really liked the first two movies and I was actually kind of excited to watch the third installment but we had a few extra minutes to kill so we decided to have lunch first. We went to Starbucks on the ground floor near Imax because from experience, it was the only place in MoA (Mall of Asia if you haven't figured it out. Like i said, acronyms rock) that had dependable WiFi that was free. So I buy a sandwhich and a roll and some coffee and iced tea, all of which are overpriced because it's Starbucks and it's supposed to make sure that only cool kids with money can go there, only to find out that the dependable free WiFi was not so dependable after all because we couldn't get a signal. Such sadness. Anyway, it wasn't so bad. We got to talk and that's nice because married couples should talk and not just about bills and laundry and chores and other boring but necessary stuff. So those few minutes before the movie turned out to be pretty good. Yay!

Overpriced food is cool! 

Lost in conversation as we were, we hardly noticed that it was soon time for us to catch our movie. And so we did. I enjoyed it, in spite of the fact that there were dozens of children in our row, the row behind us and the row in front of us and they were all asking they're parents every so often what the fuck it was that people were laughing about. I shut them up easily with a few leg drops and sidewalk slams. Oh and there was this one father who tried to stop me and I put him in a sharpshooter and made him cry.  But I digress. So the movie lacked the seminal humor present in the first two movies. I also missed the jabs at fairy tales and the fairy tale that Hollywood has become. That is not to say that the movie wasn't entertaining though. It may not be as smart as the first two movies but it was a fun 92 minutes nonetheless. I also realized that I look a lot like Shrek. Maybe next Halloween, I'll paint myself green and stick a couple of ogre ears on my head. 

Two smiling ogres and a surfboard! Yay!

After the movie, Jen was itching to blog because she's a bit of a blog addict which I think is simply adorable. Also, she has big boobies. Wait. I said that already. Anyway, I scouted the area and found out that Mandarin Wok, a Chinese resto just a couple of steps away from the disappointing Starbucks, offered 3 hours of free WiFi for every minimum purchase of PhP30.00. I bought myself a pot of jasmine tea for PhP45.00 and got Jen connected to the internet. For my loving gesture of finding her a web connection, she repayed me by ignoring me and focusing on her blog because she's really sweet like that.

After I finished my tea, I walked around a bit and saw groups of horribly dressed people. Then I realized that they were cosplayers in really horrible costumes, the kind that looked like it was a cheap school project for a 6th grade home eco class. I walked around a bit more and saw some cosplayers in some stunningly beautiful costumes, the kind that obviously took a lot of man hours to make, which made me wonder if these people's lives were so empty, they had to make a Mobile Suit Gundam replica out of illustration board just to feel accomplished. Meh. I guess it's better than doing drugs. I soon got bored with them and I went off to look at some sneakers. 

After some time, I got back to my wife who was still busy blogging. It was late afternoon and I was getting a bit hungry again because I'm a glutton, so I ordered a couple of things from the counter. Besides, I needed to make sure that Jen didn't run out of WiFi hours. I ordered some braised tofu, some dimsum and a bowl of beef wanton noodles. The noodles caught me off guard when it arrived  because it was this big massive bowl so I asked it aloud, "Hello humongous bowl of noodles, are you challenging me?" which got me a few weird stares from some of the customers and the restaurant staff. I paid them no heed and proceeded to devour the thing. It didn't stand a chance. 

"Hello big bowl of noodles. Are you challenging me?"

Because my wife was still busy with the internets, I decided to walk off the large amount of food I had just eaten. I decided to bring our other camera, the olympus mju, with me to take pictures of whatever. My feet brought me to the source of the cosplayers I ran into earlier, the Mangaholix event being held there that day. I saw two busty teens all dresed up like Maya And Aya Natsume from Tenjho Tenge and decided then and there that cosplay is awesome! Too bad I was so distracted by their jiggling jaboobies that I failed to take a photo of them before they vanished into the crowd. I stuck around for a bit to try and find them again because I'm a bit of a pervert and quite possibly a pedophile because I'm quite certain the girl who was playing Aya was jailbait. Anyway, I couldn't find them again so I just took some random pictures of the cosplay competition that was ongoing at the time. There were some cool costumes and some really lame ones. Here are the few I was able to photograph. Sorry though, no boobies. Tragic.  

Yay! Cosplay! 

As a result of the lack of considerable boobage I soon got bored again and decided to go back to my wife. She was wrapping things up so I stayed with her until she finished then we went on our way. However, I caught a glimpse of the sun setting on Manila bay and it was so pretty I just had to take a picture. So I found a place to turn the car around and tried to find place to park where we could get a good shot. Unfortunately, the sun was pretty near gone when I found a spot. I suck, I know. We still managed to get this though:

Still quite nice yes?

Before Jen and I got back to the car, we were approached by a charming older lady selling her delectable pastries. She turned out to be Miss Philippines 1970, Simonette Delos Reyes. We learned that she was an avid baker and a pretty good one at that.  I ended up buying a six pack of baklava from her and they were pretty good.

And so after that we went on home, but not before stopping by our regular Kopi Roti to grab some buns because Kopi Buns are simply awesome. So that's how I spent my Saturday. I could have joined the impromptu TMB celebraganza over at Cable Car in Pasay Road, considering that I was in the area anyway but I didn't know that they pushed through so I missed it and I didn't get to see Bim get drunk, a very rare occurrence. I also didn't get to see Mikey trying to eat Helga's face. I'm ok though, because when we got home, I got to see Jen's boobies. And touch them too! They're really big. And yes I know I said that already. I just like saying it.
