His Family, Movies and good food.
Those are just a few of my father's favorite things.
So what better way to spend the day that honors the "padre de familia" than to indulge his whims.
Lunch was at "Chinese Monk" in Rockwell. We feasted on salted fish fried rice, classic pepper steak, seafood hot pot, oyster cake and mango pudding with sago. It was our first time there and we immensely enjoyed their tasty cuisine. Much to our chagrin though we found out it would be closing down by the end of this month. Quel dommage!
The film was a very interesting tale of a bank robbery with a twist. Great cast, excellent script and artfully fluid direction by Spike Lee.
We all had a great time.
I have a deep affectionate bond with my father.
He is my life, my source of inspiration, my everything!
There are not enough words in the dictionary to express my sentiments towards my father. So I won't even attempt to make this post, an emotional tribute to my Dad. The only guy in my life I love unconditionally far and beyond the edge of this vast universe.
I'm glad, Father's Day was indeed a happy one. =)

Situation # 2334 a guy might come in handy
Normally I stay in during Saturdays and Sundays to avoid the maddening crowd at malls.
Today, I ventured out for the following reasons:
A dermatologist appointment. A quick trip to AAP (Automobile Association of the Philippines) to get my sister's car registration papers. Lunch at my parents' place. To my utter delight I found out that their Japanese channel broadcasts live World Cup games. Yay! I'd probably spend the quarterfinals week over there. We went to the Shang Cineplex to watch another French film ("Nouvelle France") which was entirely in English. Grocery shopping
Suffice to say it was a long day and I'm exhausted.
We got back home, parked the car then had one last item to do before we could rest our weary bodies.
Place the new '06 car stickers on the license plate of the car.
A rather simple task:
1) Take off screws of the plastic cover both front and back.
2) Place aforementioned stickers.
3) Reattach plastic covers
So why did it take us almost 2 hours?
Because the lighting was pretty bad, the tiny screws kept falling on the floor, the little flashlight needed new batteries, the first time we reattached the plastic covers the screws won't fit.
Times like that I wished we had some willing human of the male variety to help us with such "manly" tasks.
Or do we?
We did get it done, after all. =)

Pleasant distractions
Aside from the normal work load and the usual errands (grocery shopping, bills payments, bank transactions) this past week has been mainly consumed with zombie like tendencies towards 2 things:
1) Watching French movies at the Edsa Shang Cineplex.
2) FIFA World Cup.
Factor in the fact that I've been pigging out way too much by eating out almost daily (Little Asia in Greenhills, Teriyaki Boy, House of Minis [steaks], Jollibee). Then because I'm so matakaw, I stuff myself with Boy Bawang corniks while watching the games.
So.
I get by on few hours of sleep.
I feel my jeans tighten from overeating.
But.
I'm also hoarse from cheering on my favorite teams.
I dream in French with English subtitles.
That is, if I do remember le reve when I wake up.
Throughout the numerous things that beg for my short attention span, I find comfort in looking at my computer's wallpaper. A picture I took of the Koi pond at the Boracay Regency hotel, last April. It momentarily relaxes me amidst the mayhem and chaotic aura of my soul.
Yes this is nothing but a vain attempt to post a picture with my blog entry. Nice picture though, n'est pas? =)

World Cup Fever
I guess I'm a select few who is caught up in the frenzy of the FIFA World Cup in Germany.
I watch all the features about it.
On different channels like CNN, BBC, Solar Entertainment, DW TV (Germany), TV 5 (France) even Arirang (Korea).
I catch a few matches on Solar Channel.
That is when they decide to broadcast them.
Usually the games are shown a day behind.
The live matches are on channel 67 of my TV.
But it is pay for view (you pay P6000 for all the games) I get clear audio but the visual is scrambled.
I listen for a few minutes till the distorted pictures give me a headache. Then I switch the TV off because it's already 4 A.M.
Here are some of my observations:
1) Familiar names and faces have moved on to being coaches. Juergen Klinsmann for Germany and Marco Van Basten for Holland.
2) Ghana was a revelation. They really rallied and gave Italy a fair fight. They continuously attacked and tested the impenetrable Italian defense.
3) The Azzuris (Italians) are in good form. I noticed most of the players have shaved heads. Cannavaro, Totti and even Del Piero are sporting the "Jarhead" look.
4) There is a big controversy about the ball being designed in a different way. It makes it harder for the goal keepers to catch.
5) I still don't like the English team, never did. :D
6) I like the all yellow outfits of the Swedish team. They look like giant bananas in perfect contrast with the green soccer field.
But why oh why did Henrik Larssen shave off his gorgeous dreadlocks??? He still has a beautiful face, though. ;)
7) Ronaldo looks fat and sluggish. Brazil seemed a bit off their game but maybe it is just a warm up and we can expect a lot more from them.
8) Zisou Zidane, Thierry Henry and Fabian Barthez are still in top shape and playing for Les Blues (France). Yay!
9) The game has really evolved with the help of modern technology. Now we can see instant replays from different angles. The referees are armed with a device attached to their jaw and earphones so they can communicate.
Ooops France vs Switzerland is now on.
Allez la France!
I'm logging off.

I got tagged by Single Guy
Four jobs I would really stink at:
1) Pilipino Teacher - My family always laughs at me when I mix up the conjugation of verbs in Tagalog.
2) Nanny/Yaya - I don't have any patience nor tolerance for kids, I might end up crying like a baby from frustration.
3) Taxi Driver - for the simple reason that I don't know how to drive, I will forever be a back seat driver.
4) Tech Support - I would just shout at the customers for being so freaking stupid.
Four pretend monickers I'll never live up to:
1) Miss Spic n Span - cleaning is not my forte.
2) Miss Adventurous - I'm not willing to try anything new. Even getting me to taste a new flavor of ice cream is an obstinate task.
3) Miss Shopaholic - I'm not patient enough to shop till I drop.
4) Miss Ambitious - I don't aim for anything, never did.
Four movies I will NEVER watch again, ever:
1) Solaris - George Clooney's little outer space adventure. Zzzzzz.
2) Dumb and Dumberer - I watched this with a date. They (the movie and the guy) were both stupid!
3) The Exorcist - Linda Blair's demonic possessions, her head turning around in 180 degrees. It permanently scared me off horror movies.
4) Crash - Take note the one by David Cronenberg. A film about people who get off from watching people who are injured or perish in car accidents. Totally sick and perverted fetish.
Four places that I would NEVER live in:
1) New Zealand - there are more sheep than people there. I'm more of a city gal.
2) Siberia - I love cold climates but freezing my tiny butt off for long periods of time is certainly not pleasant.
3) Japan - Lost in Translation in a materialistic haven. Ugh!
4) USA - the American dream? No, thanks.
4 Things I HATE to do on my weekends:
1) Clean the house
2) Go to crowded malls
3) Cook
4) Watch a movie in a jampacked cinema
Four TV shows I used to geek out to:
1) Battlestar Gallactica
2) Charlie's Angels - when Jacklyn Smith left the series, I stopped watching.
