Gah! Tagged!

August 21, 2007

As my regular readers know, (yes, you three.)  I hardly ever respond to tags. I can't pass on this one though because this time I was tagged by the Sexy Nomad and it would be unwise for me to so because it's been raining quite a lot these past few days. (*wink*) So although I am really not one to enjoy these things, I will be going through with it nonetheless. I guess Jen's just helping me write more so I guess this isn't so bad. So here are 30 questions followed by my 30 answers. Pay attention now. This is a rarity.

30 QUESTIONS  

1. Where is your dad right now?
        In Los Angeles, most possibly sleeping  or  reading some sci-fi while smoking Benson & Hedges.

2. Last time you kissed someone?
        This morning, after breakfast  with Jen. We had  Jollibee molo soup and coffee and juice and ate at her office. Afterwards, she walked me to the elevator, then pressed her luscious body against mine, then gave me a nice long kiss. On the way down, I did my best to hide my boner from the other passengers. I don't think I succeeded.

3. Name five things you did today

SLEX…WTF? No Seriously, What. The. Fuck?!

August 8, 2007

I think the South Luzon Expressway was broken yesterday late evening up 'til and perhaps even past the time of writing. It was hardly moving at all, see? And I know this because we just got home. Yep. We got caught in a monster traffic jam, over 3 grueling hours from Nichols to the new Filinvest exit. It was our first very real encounter with the beast that SLEX has been purportedly known to become on occasion. It's difficult to sum up how I feel about it. This is as close as I can get I guess.

A Good Buzz

August 7, 2007

I threw my back last Sunday while doing a bit of landscaping for the new house. I misjudged just how heavy this particular boulder was and I forgot to lift from the knees and having a horribly huge beer belly didn't help matters. This put me stuck in bed yesterday, with nothing but Alaxan to help with the pain. I couldn't score any of the good stuff like Valium because while the pain was excruciating, it supposedly didn't warrant such drastic intervention. I turned to the next best thing and no I don't mean masturbation because It's kinda hard to "wank the walrus" with an aching back. I mean Johnny Walker. Not the most advisable thing to do really but hey, it relaxes the muscles and it numbs the pain and makes the world all swishy which is fun. A few shots later (hehe. I lost count) I had a really good buzz going and then I logged on to the Internet. I found my way into the I.PH forums and found a similarly good buzz going. Not alcohol induced at all but indirectly involving alcohol or at least a good possibility of it. 

No idea what I'm talking about? Well get your ass here and you'll find a fairly good buzz going for the 2nd I.PH EyeBallnanza! We've been throwing around ideas to have a second eye ball in the I.PH forums for quite some time now and just recently, things are actually coming together. Mad props to lovely I.PH ladies Alohapenny, Liz, Jade and Idrill for getting the word out. Thanks also to the guys who did the same. I can't remember your names because I'm nursing a hangover. Also, you have no titties.

Anyway, it's scheduled for September 8, 2007 at 7:00PM at a yet to be agreed upon location in Metrowalk, Ortigas Center Pasig. It's looking out be a pretty cool event. As always, all I.PH users are welcome. You can bring your non I.PH friends too so we can pressure them into signing up because democracy is just so awesome. For questions and particulars, you can join in the discussion over at the I.PH forum. If you haven't registered for the forum I suggest you do so now here because really, do you want to miss out on stuff like these?  I'll have regular updates regarding the I.PH EyeBallnanza! on this blog too so if you want, you can leave comments here. You can also reach me through peterjuan@i.ph if you want to go the email route. We do hope you can join this this time! Now kiddies, run off and spread the word! Blog on!
