Japanese mochi ice cream in Azuki Red Bean. Simply put, flavored tikoy with ice cream and red bean inside. Comes in other flavors like chocolate, blue vanilla, purple yam, black sesame, mango, green tea and strawberry. New booth in Moa so I checked it out. Really delicious.
..after almost 2 years, I hit the gym. Can’t say I’m proud cuz I only joined BodyJam and immediately left after. But its a start, right? 🙂
You know the sentiments I had earlier with Metrodeal? It completely vanished when the concert started. We were given very good seats. To think that these seats costs half the price more, had I not purchased this deal. Anyway, this is my first time entering SM Arena, and if I’m not mistaken, NKOTBSB would be the second performers of this newly constructed dome. SM opened this just merely 2 weeks ago, with its construction going on 24/7 to meet its deadline: Lady Gaga’s concert. Anyway, I won’t go on how SM does its projects, but inside Arena, SM seems to be very obvious. It is a little high against its land area, with numerous seats, mass produced. Reminds me a lot of their condominiums. Unlike Araneta which is expansive. Anyway I think what impressed me most is the lighting. Or was it because the concert has good production? Honestly, I decided to come to this concert because I was a huge fan in highschool, thinking it would be regretful if I let this one pass by. I came to pay my respect, for old times sake. I used to love their music even though they’re generally stereotyped by many. And I still do. I still have all their albums on my iTunes and I listen to them every now and then. And so it was such a rush seeing them again. Him especially. Nicholas Gene Carter. Or just plain Nick Carter. The tall, blonde guy who made just about every teener’s hormones go out of their own system in the 90s, including myself. Seeing Nick again, somehow feels like its that decade again. That I’m 15 again, screaming, giggling, singing along to his songs out loud. Funny how Nick still has that effect on ladies, now mostly my age or older. He was very vibrant, very energetic, to the point that he seemed to have lost it. Haha, I guess thats really his performing style. The part where each of them has to pick one of the ladies in the audience drove us wild and envious. AJ and Brian both pick older women, Howie picked a fan with a placard that says “I ❤ u howie d. pick me”, and Nick, well, really took his time out choosing carefully. He came up on stage with a model-like body, Sam Pinto kind of face, and I was like, what the hell? How did he ever find this girl in this crowd? Pretty impressive. Sighs. And the way they serenaded the ladies with “I’ll never break your heart”, with his teasing face inches from hers, almost kissing her. Holy shit. He looked so damn good. Though he got fatter (hehe), with wrinkles visible on his face, but god, he still looked so good. I kept taking snaps of him, but darn how he always faces the other side (where he got the girl), so I’ve no really decent shot of him. The other guys were amazing as well, and sang most of their more popular songs. 10,000 Promises was one of the less popular song they sang, and I loved how beautiful and powerful their voices blended on the bridge part. Quit playing games, Shape of my heart and Incomplete were the songs I’ve anticipated the most and they performed it well. Their entrance song, Larger than life, were collaborated with NKOTB with a different mix. And I love The Call song! We got it goin, get down, all i have to give, as long as you love me, drowning, show me the meaning of being lonely, i want it that way.. They did not missed out on their hits. And of course, Backstreet’s back for the encore. Same thing went for NKOTB, they sang their hits though I couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for them, BSB clearly owned the house that night. I also made it a point to rest after BSB performed and its NKOTB’s turn. I liked a couple of their songs, but honestly, I just felt they’re too old for this kind of stage. Dancing like a boyband and showing off their bodies. They should be doing more laid back stuff, more vocals, less activity, in my opinion. I mean, they’re mid 40s right? Maybe they’re still trying to keep up with BSB. Jordan knight stood out of course. Wow that I’ll be loving you forever number. Anyway, I’ve no idea that this is the last leg of their Asian Tour. Maybe that’s why theres goofing at the end, conversing and joking with each other like they’re in a rehearsal studio. Last perf ended with too much confetti the scene was moving. Manila must be so lucky tonight. Wonder when would I see another night like this again. But one thing I’m sure, I swear, I have aged 15 years younger tonight. 🙂
As of this writing, I’ve been standing for the Metrodeal line for the past hour. You see, I bought a very good deal from them, 3,699 instead of 7,920 for a Lower Box seat for the NKOTBSB concert for today, June 3. I was just browsing thru sites yesterday when I spotted this deal. I knew that BSB was coming but I’ve no idea when. So I was a bit startled when I realized that the concert is scheduled for today. I mean, so much for having time to decide, right? The ticket is not cheap, even for half its price. But early this morning I’ve finally convinced Tabs to watch, since you’ve no idea how I was a huge sucker for this boyband back in highschool. I just couldn’t let this one pass me by, even though its not their solo concert. I wasn’t really an NKOTB fan, I was too young when they got really popular. But I have an idea of their music and have seen some of their perfomances together on youtube, and I can say, they blend well.
Going back to Metrodeal, I think they haven’t prepared for this well enough. Their guys here said they are unsure what time the tickets would come. Now what irritates me right this moment is how come they’re here, and not the tickets? They’ve propped up chairs and their laptop outside and we’ve been waiting for an hour and half already. They keep on apologizing but thats not what we need. We need the friggin tickets. I can see Tabs sitting on the side, looking very tired and restless, since he still came after duty. We even planned earlier to watch a movie first, since theres supposed to be a good 4 hours before the concert starts at 8. I feel like I’m a diehard fan still, what with coming here more than 4 hours before the concert, you know the idol stalker highschooler kind of type, only I’m not here to stalk or get in backstage, I’m just here to claim the tickets. I’m getting restless, too. Standing for a while can get really tiring, and I’m having back problems if I get really tired. Now until what time are we going to wait? I guess we just have to wait and see. Even Tabs predicted earlier that Metrodeal could end up having a problem, since they’ve had similar complaints with their deals recently. Maybe thats the price I have to pay for the discount I got. To top it off, it kinda looks like rain. I’m not sure if I would deal this way again. 😦
… plus my laziness, got the best of me.
Yeah, you guessed it right. I did not hit the gym. 😛
Almost four years ago, I wasn’t really that keen to have you. Sure, the idea of having my very first own car excited me of some sort, just that I wasn’t really head over heels of having one then, unlike most people do. I must admit you were cute though, with your shoe-shaped body (quoting Tabs) and a very nice shade of red. You look small on the outside, but getting in feels like I’m in an average sedan. But I prefer your hatchback more. You were very easy to drive, very smooth and I’ve no problem getting in small gaps because of your size. You were fast, you could always keep up with my need for speed. We always raced with those wannabes, right? We even raced after traffic enforcers ^^. At times when I needed you, you never fail to save me and help me get home safely. Remember when we lived in Richville for a year? Lacson/Espana traffic, UST flood, roadworks, huge trucks.. we were able to surpass them all. You were amazing is an understatement. You are my best companion after Tabs. You made traveling easier for me. I can go whenever I want to after work or in weekends, or just want to get a midnight snack, and you always gladly accompany me. Lucky how we always find a slot even in a packed parking area, and of course we have no color coding thanks to our MD plate. Even Ciao, Chin and our cats already knew its us even before we finished parking. Sometimes, I’m thinking if it hurts you if I drive like a maniac, or are you enjoying it as well? A part of me says you like me driving like that. I’m sorry for my imperfection as a responsible driver, it caused you scratches and dents on the door, mags and especially on the base area. I couldn’t help it that you’re too low, thats why we always hit humps that are too high, which I know you also hate. For that, cheonmal shisuhamnida. You understand a bit of Korean, right? I’ve always played Korean cds on your dashboard, which I’m not sure if you like. You have probably gotten used to it, since theres load more in your front pocket. I’m sorry too for all the mess inside especially in the trunk. You know very well how disorganized and lazy person I am. But whenever I find energy, I clean you, right? I even make it a point to have a carwash with wax monthly. And thats not just in any carwash places, only in malls, right? I love it how you look like brand new every time you’re done. Like when I first met you. Shining and sparkling. Wanting me to drive you again and again.
Writing about you tears me up, and I would surely be dreading the day when we finally have to part. I miss you already even though you’re still with me, and I always tell you how much I thank you for taking care of me through these years every night. I never thought letting you go would be this hard and painful. Like losing a part of myself. But you will continue to be a good car like you always were, right? I trust you to take care of my family once you belong to them. Always take them home safe and sound, like what you have always done for me. I hope you will still remember me and feel my presence every time I drop by to see you. I love you Jazztin. And I’m sure as hell would be missing you like crazy.
I was a Passport member of Fitness First from October 2008 until about April 2011. From these almost 3 years of membership, I could only count the number of times I went to work out. I was that LAZY. To think that I was not even the one paying for it. I wasn’t that serious. There were several months when I never even had a single visit. July last year when I’ve thought of visiting again, I’ve no idea that my membership has been cut off. So there I was on my gym attire and the receptionist told me I was not a member anymore. I was little embarrassed when she told me it was already cut off as early as April. Fast forward to today, I’ve been meaning to inquire again. I get really lazy when it comes to working out, but I think I just needed some kind of a boost. I’ve thought about dieting and getting fit after my miscarriage. Being overweight could really cause abnormalities in pregnancy. I think I need to prepare my body first before becoming pregnant again. I was too fat, I may even be diabetic. After several weeks of debating whether to walk into the far side of MOA (haha), I finally mustered up my strength of walking (haha) and inquired. Alright, I have no idea that I still have a balance of around 6k+. The agent told me I was not able to pay for 3 mos from my previous membership. Tita was the one paying thru credit card debit. She must’ve cut our membership without informing FF. But oddly enough, FF was not able to inform us or me, that we have balance to settle. I came around July and they could’ve told me that we were 3 mos overdue thats why our membership was cutoff. I mean, I could’ve paid that early, right? Well, I have decided to sign up yet again, and luckily, the manager told me I just have to pay one month of the remaining balance (2,678), monthly fee of 2,890, admin fee of 1500 and joining fee 500. The admin and joining fee were supposed to be waived, had I not incurred any balance. Now I just have to monitor their monthly debits, if I learn that they will debit the remaining 2 mos of my balance which is not on our agreement, then I have every right to complain. I already have an id and I’m good to go anytime! God I need strong will and motivation. Just thinking about it makes me feel so tired. Yes, I am that lazy. 😛
And I will be whole again.
