FN Blog - Seven heads are better than one!

I am so lovin’ Britney’s “Toy Soldier.” I don’t think it’s been released yet, but it’s from her Blackout album. I first heard it in dance class and didn’t even realize it was Brit. You can listen to it here. Ellen Degeneres likewise loves this song–you can see her dancing to it here.

Hooray for weekends when I get to play disc twice! Played with MC2 Friday night, and can I just say they are quite hardcore! I barely sat during two hours of play. It was cool though because I really felt like I got a good workout, and I had a relatively OK game. I scored a few points (we had some great handlers on my team) and had a block and maybe an assist or two. So yay! At some point though, the other team had more guys than girls, so they put a guy on me. I felt like the dudes guarding me weren’t going all out though, for fear of being called bullies. Haha. Czarmel, one of the speediest guys I know, could’ve easily blocked one pass, but he didn’t. “Pinigilan mo sarili mo ‘no?” I said, and he just laughed.

I know flowers are severely overpriced at this time, and that they are blatantly, unapologetically romantic, but it makes me smile when I see guys walking through the mall holding a pretty bouquet. I applaud their effort and hope the girls they’re wooing appreciate it, too.

this year, i’ve resolved to try out as many new things as i can. i tend to get wound up over stuff like deadlines, letter styles, and punctuations so i’m being brave today by pre-dating this post and doing away with uppercase concerns. (it’s part of my job.) but, sorry, i just can’t seem to let go of the punctuations. not yet anyway.

hey, i feel the adrenaline rush already. i could get used to this. in fact, i’ll blog in lowercase from now on. (except when i’m referring to God, Jesus, Daniel Craig, and Charlie Brown.) but i’ll only pre-date my blog post just this once. i promise.

happiness, they say, comes in small doses. and it looks like i’ll be getting a lot of my small doses from this. at least, it comes super cheap and doesn’t damage my brain cells.

Yahoo! Music came out with an article entitled “The World’s Cheesiest Love Song Playlist”. What made it onto the list? A lot of classics and a couple of surprising entries…but all videoke-worthy!

Let me warn you now—this is going to sound like an ode to Pancake House!

I looove good food and I even maintain a personal food blog (I use “maintain” loosely here as I only get to update it around once a month!), but I always find myself going back to Pancake House. When I can’t decide where to eat, I go to Pancake House. When I want a good salad, I go to Pancake House. When it’s my best friend M’s birthday, or my birthday, we have brunch at Pancake House. When I want to be alone, I go to Pancake House. When I want to get some work done away from my desk, I go to Pancake House, a laptop and magazines in tow. Pancake House is my happy place!

Spent the weekend with intermittent jolts of pain in the back of my head and my neck. It wasn’t very pleasant, and I didn’t even know what was causing it. I would get a migraine one spot at a time before, never like this. I used to be terrified that it was caused by chocolate. But I haven’t had any chocolate in almost a week (would you believe?) so I’ve ruled that out. Phew. And it wasn’t caused by the sisig or super oily crispy kangkong I had Saturday night—cholesterol overload is a different kind of pain altogether.

I keep thinking it’s a nerve thing, so I’ll be seeing a neuro soon. Sure hope it’s nothing some pill or diet adjustment can’t fix.
