- bahendra's genius -

short intro first ... bahendra is a character in my life right now which makes my existence more "interesting" ... "interesting" - said in a very nasal manner (labas sa ilong, intiende?)

bahendra has so much wisdom ... can't help but share it ... a very opinionated person ... never lets a conversation end na hindi sa kanya galing ang huling halakhak ... i've learned so much from bahendra which is why i've decided to waste some of my "blog space" to write about the genius ...

i.e., the "four-pose" of this get-together is to collect a "fool" of people who will be assigned to do the following items via "round-ruben." uhm, alien to that.

i vow to put some more entries detailing his awesome-ness ...

by the way, i need to bitch a little ... bahendra said in front of other people that a task will not be assigned to me anymore because i was not good enough ... if that was true, why is it that nobody told me? ... the real reason why i won't be doing the task anymore is because i am leaving ...

- tita jeni -

yeyyyyyy! yeyyyyyy! jeni is in da bilding!!! jeni arrived last friday from manila to do her "quarterly maintenance" ; ) ... i was on leave so i was able to pick her up at the airport ... she accompanied me to wanfang hospital for my ENT check-up.

segue, i showed the doctor the swollen lymph node ... he decided to do a fibroscopy on me ... what is that? he inserted this tube up my nose to check for anything weird on my throat ... it was fine at first but it got uncomfortable later on ... i reacted by saying to the doctor, "uh, uh, uh" ... to which he said, say "eeeeee" ... "eeeeeee" ... nothing unusual about my throat but he gave me some antibiotics to take care of the swelling ... be back in a week.

so going back, i'm looking forward to my week with jeni ... we'll be starting it with a trip to fulong together with chireh, farfetches and papa d ... tas we'll be going to work together ... then i'll be on leave on friday for a trip to keelung with jeni ... tas we'll go to bali next saterdi with farfetches and papa d ... coolness!

- fulong fulong -

it was an overnight thing for the 5 of us - me, jeni, chireh, farfetches and papa d ... we have reason to celebrate - jeni's here and then chireh will be going to US ... we also wanted to get out of taipei for a few days ... dinner at our house on friday - we feasted on dinuguan which farfetch loved, by the way; all he had to say about it was - "hmmm, saraaapp" ... barbecued pork at tenga ... winner ... we took the 9 sumtin train ride to fulong and we arrived at dollar's place - his place is a coffee shop and surf/body board rental and hostel ... we rented a room for five at 3300NT ... "bu tsuo" *not bad* for 660 per person ... we also had our own bathroom ... we also got to use their microwave ... and what is so "kul" about his place is the way they designed the rooms - it was simple but nice ... there were even glow in the dark things on the wall ... the ceiling has cloud-like designs ... to get an idea of the place, visit dollar's website - http://www.dollar-fulong.com.tw ... anyway, we had a drinking session that night at the beach ... too bad i can't drink a lot now so i just feasted on nuts and fruits and lapid's chicharon courtesy of tita jen ... the night was great and the company was even better ... saterdi, we woke up too late for the sunrise but we did get to enjoy the beach ... the water was so refreshing ... sunset was no good either kasi natakpan ng ulap ang araw ... jeni and i forgot our camera ... i would need to get the pixs from chireh and farfetch and post them here ...
