MY WORST BOWLING GAME EVERRR. Had team bowling as a de-stressing activity last Friday. Our team won, thanks to the regular bowlers, Gummy, MarkG and Do and the amazing first timers Soul and Falsetto Jen. And me? Loser score. Haha! Gahd. I have not bowled in... has it been that long? More than five years. Anyway, yuck. Since I began bowling, this is like my lowest score everrr. So embarrassing. I even did worse than the first timers! To think when I was in college, I was bowling every week. Oh yes, I was part of the bowling club in college. That was when we were still required to have one "arts" and "sports" org each. And bowling was the only sport I could tolerate (I am so not athletic!). Even my family got into it. We had lots of fun! It was the perfect way to unwind --- throw all your stress on the bowling ball and the pins, cheer for everyone and just have a good laugh with all the bloopers and booboos! I am sure this will not be the last of the CS Super Bowl Tourney! The other team is sure to ask for a rematch and yes, I have to avenge my score and redeem myself. Haha! And since I have not had exercise in the longest time, my body ached over the weekend. I had forgotten that bowling can be quite tiring! My body was painful in the left side (I didn't take pain killers beforehand, unlike some of my officemates) and I was complaining all throughout the weekend, which prompted my dad and my friends to suggest I better take up some sort of activity that gets me to move. Haha. Yes, I am a sedentary one. No physical sport or activity or anything! Yuck. I better do something, I can feel my posture getting bad and my tummy and arms getting flabby!  Winning Team B! *Photo credit: Sol's FB. Thanks!

I ♥ watching the Oscars (even if it tends to drag sometimes). I always get goosebumps when they play the score of the movies - Star Wars, Titanic, Indiana Jones and music I can't identify, but make up the movies. :) My mom says I know so much trivia when it comes to books and movies... well, I like it. Stuff I read in the papers and online, I keep in mind for whatever reason, I don't know. Things I enjoy, really (but doesn't really have much value no? Or does it?). Labels: random

So. According to the experts (and plenty of links online), Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. Next is Monday which is quite obvious. Friday is generally not one, considering everyone wants to leave early (or not, like my friends! We like to stay late on Fridays for some reason, but that's another story). But Tuesday?? Really?? I super, super hate Tuesdays. Mondays are a given, to be a difficult day after a weekend and Wednesday is the hump day for the week. Every Wednesday, I whine, "It's only Wednesday! The week is so looong!" To which Ms Amor will always reply, "Di bale, pagdating ng Thursday mabilis na 'to." Hehe, but I digress. Why do I hate Tuesdays? It probably begun in Grade School or High School. Anyway, in my school, Tuesdays were the longest days. Classes would end at 3:20 for Grade School and 4:10 (!) for High School. For a student, I found that pretty long! 4:10!! On Tuesdays! I don't even know what made Tuesday special when club time was on Fridays, which I considered worthy of longer hours (I think club time, in retrospect, was only about two hours or less). But Tuesdays had double periods in the afternoon and midday/after lunch singing practices - then back to class because we had until 4:10! Sigh. Somehow, my least favorite subject was also on Tuesdays - Math! I think all my Math subjects were scheduled on Tuesdays and in the morning. That would guarantee me to be in a bad mood all day already. That's how much I hated Math. It also had PE, although that wasn't so bad. The hassle there was bringing extra bag to school. I think we had Science too but that's a subject I could get by with... In college, Tuesdays were the lighter days. That was when I had the fewest subjects - only PE, German and AIS. That was fun (albeit bringing the extra clothes again and carrying it around) - but I still disliked it because it was a useless day. I mean, really, between Monday and hump day, what is the value added?! You can't have a birthday leave (or even a leave for that matter!) in the middle of the week because the day before is spent at work and the next day is back to work... it's just not really a useful day for me. Haha. I just felt like writing about it - not a fun day for me ever since and yeah, today was busy (spillover from Monday). Online reactions agree Tuesdays are the most productive day because it's a catch up day from Monday and getting ready/clearing the work for Wednesday. Funny. It's not a very special day, really, but I guess it has to have its use! Labels: rant-rave

Cannot resist this Friday 5! 1. What’s the best thing about being awake when the rest of the world seems to be sleeping? Faster internet? Hehe during the days of the dial up and prepaid. But seriously, the best thing about being awake when the world seems to be sleeping is the quiet. I used to do my papers in the wee hours of the morning or read late into the night. Sometimes the alone-ness is nice. 2. Where can you go when you get a case of the late-night munchies? Plenty of establishments are open 24/7 already! McDonald's, definitely. Or Mini Stop. When we used to pull all-nighters at work, it was all about McDonald's and quick runs to the convenience stores for chips, cola, etc. 3. What open-all-night establishment has saved you from catastrophe, and what were the circumstances? Oh gosh... no major catastrophes for me! I'm sure just convenience stores. Or maybe when people are sick, I think it helps there are 24/7 drugstores around too. 4. What’s the worst thing about being awake when the rest of the world seems to be sleeping? No one to talk to! There are times when you want to tell someone, "Check this out!!" or "I need help!" Felt that on my last day before VL last, last year. It was so weird going through all my stuff in the office with all the silence... good thing no scary stuff going on! 5. When you are up all night at home for whatever reason, what’s most likely to be on the television to keep you company? Star World or ETC for a variety of shows (Master Chef! ANTM! Will & Grace!) or the music video channel. Especially for the latter, that's when I get updated with pop songs! Labels: survey
