Chopsticks 101 @BIG MAO

I don't how to use chopsticks . I have tried. Futile.

Today I and few of my workmates - Maimai, Aisha, Joseph and Roni - went for dinner at Big Mao at the Terraces. We were gonna watch movies. People were still crammed waiting for the day's last show of Eclipse and all seats have been taken when we arrived around 9pm. We planned to buy tickets for Knight and Day but changed our minds last minute and headed to dinner anyway.

Big Mao serves great food. We ordered a whole lot of food plus bottomless iced tea. I have a hard time memorizing food names so I have forgotten what they're called after we ate. We weren't able to eat everything.







Then we had fun with the chopsticks.We had challenged ourselves at first to eat using chopsticks but when the food were served, our hands were already spoons-and-forks ready. We were too hungry we forgot the chopsticks altogether. Then we did chopsticks 101 when we were so full another spoon of pansit would have made me vomit. Maimai was so funny with the chopsticks and they were all laughing at me on my attempt to pick a slimy mushroom using the sticks. I can't believe I could use so much of my energy picking up a lil slimy mushroom!

Panget almost paid the whole bill...hahaha...Thanks nget! And then a few photos after, we headed for a smoke. Everyone knew we needed a cig.







From that dinner onwards, we planned to eat at a restaurant no matter how expensive once a month. A splurge on food once in a while isn't a bad idea, we all thought. So Big Mao is number one. Let's see what's next!!! Can't wait!

UP DHARMA DOWN @ Ayala

On my way to the office, I got the chance to see Up Dharma Down live at the Active Zone inside Ayala.

The band is forward and you don't really get to hear any other band having the same sound. It was a bit intimate having the crowd very close to the stage. Aroud 300 people watched the band perform alongside a little less known but equally talented band Sleepwalk Circus.

The bands performed some of their hits to the crowd's delight.

The event was sponsored by PUMA and was dubbed Archive Uncovered.





I enjoyed the whole forty minutes only to be distracted by college students acting like preps. Yesm you have your SLRs and you are sitting at the front. You don't have to f*ck with it the whole time the bands were singing. Someone's singing, pay attention! You're all behaving like prep schoolers!

MEET YOUR NEW SPIDERMAN

A virtual unknown will be donning the Spiderman suit on the next Spidey installment come 2012 (too far ye think?).

Andrew Garfield, 26, is a British-AMerican actor was seen in small roles in movies like 'The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus' and headlined a little-unknown UK crime-drama 'Boy A'. This sounds like another Rob Patz in-the-making.


Hot hollywood actors auditioned for the role to replace Tobey Maguire but Andrew nabbed the spot for the 4th installment. The movie will be released in 3d.

Excited.

FINALLY MY NEW PHONE!!!

I had said on a previous post that I was getting a Blackberry Curve. Turned out it's gonna take ages if I will wait for Globe to get the next batch of Blackberries. The unit was a sellout for post-paid subscribers which meant I have to wait on queue until it's available. I know i gotta do something. Excitement and waiting don't blend well to me.

Well, yesterday I finally got my phone. Not a Blackberry but the Iphone 3GS with 32GB memory storage. I called Globe and changed my unit and got in two days. I could never be happier with my new phone but it also meant I have to tighten up my belt.



I am yet to discover the features but have used it's WiFi feature at Ayala. What else for - facebooking!! I don't have any contacts yet and don't even know my number. As of the moment, I'm waiting for my Globe number to be activated. I have downloaded some songs and yet to download more. The first photos taken on my phone were of my puppy, Angus. She was adorable on the pics I shall be posting soon!!!!

The next few weeks, I shall receive my first bill. For the next few days, I will be eating dog food.
