Three gifts I love.

Well, anyhoos, it’s not that I give because I expect something in return. Hey, Christmas is more of giving rather than receiving. I think maturity befalls me so easily that I never ever expect a gift in return, and it’s okay. I really don’t care about the present. Rather, I appreciate the thought of giving more than anything else. 
Enough gab and drama, I actually splurged one for myself. It’s a Birthday-slash-Christmas gift since I think I ought to be very selfish at times. So, I got myself an iPod Touch.
*iPod Touch is LOVE.*
Is this the best it gets?

The train has been my favorite mode of transportation going to the office, since it’s a lot cheaper than taking a cab and I could see different people in all walks of life with different stories to tell. I usually commute alone with my earphones glued on as I listen to my On-the-Go tracks. I have no choice but to listen and contemplate as I look at people, wondering what stories they got to tell.
So there, I saw this homosexual person imitating Gokuu’s hairstyle. I got to see this middle-aged lady offered her seat to the elderly. I saw this young girl tugging her mom’s shirt as if she’s asking for something. And it dawned me how these stories, though strung inside my head, pique my interest greatly.
Sometimes I wistfully wonder at people who think there’s nothing that life could offer. I’d rather feel pity at people who can hardly quench their thirst for greed. As sappy and biblical as it sounds, but, our lives are borrowed and temporal; we should be making the most of it in each and every second that we breathe. We should appreciate and enjoy living.
As you look closely at your own story, there are certain moments that make you question yourself–Is this the best it gets?
So here’s a song from Budapest. It’s a very nice song, and it’s something to live by.
Sibling Binge @ Burgoo
Note: This happened precisely a year ago. My brothers got fat. I got fat. But one thing remains the same, we all love to hog.
I feel like blogging today. I just had my ultimate dinner at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with officemates. I got myself a healthy plate of chicken Caesar salad. It’s not that I’m on a diet, but friend M swore that it really tastes great that’s why I tried it. The verdict: it’s okay. I got full in an instant! Yet, I think KFC salads work better for me ‘coz they got a stronger flavor.
Enough gab, this post is not meant for my dinner a while ago. I just happened to grab some food (which I shared it with my other two coworkers) last week at Burgoo in Podium. I held on the menu, leafed it, and squinted at the content. I was looking for this certain dish I ordered a year ago, and I didn’t find it there.
To kill your curiosity, I was looking for their Angus Steak with Grilled Ratatouille and Mashed Potato. Idk why they’d phase it out. Maybe it’s too expensive and no one orders it. But believe me, shelling out about about a thousand pesos on this dish is really worth it. I love everything included in this meal.
