Adobo

This is funny. I can't stop thinking of adobo... =P I just woke up and headed to work, and all I can think of is this Filipino dish. I can almost taste it on my tongue. I can almost smell it.

Soooo... I'm gonna be making one tonight. W00t!

Weekend trip

Last weekend, I went to Des Moines to visit a good friend of mine, Francis. After we met, we picked up a third person--Ruby, a pinay studying in Ames which is a city about 30 minutes from Des Moines.

We had a blast, and Francis showed us to some sights (one of which was the sides of a highway, cause his car broke down, and we had to have it towed). Later that day, we went to a casino, and I had lots of fun there! In fact, I can't wait to come back!

After that, we watched a Chinese show for the local Chinese community was celebrating their New Year. The show featured lots of local Chinese talents, and not being able to understand what they were saying made the show really satisfying. I was able to focus more on their movements and understand the show from that perspective.

The following day, Sunday, we just relaxed at Francis' apartment and watched a few DVDs.

Overall, the trip was a blast; I made new friends, and didn't even feel tired after the whole thing, which is unusual 'cause I usually get tired from these kinds of events.

Has it really been that long?

Has it really been that long since I last posted? The previous post before this still seemed so fresh in my mind.

I got nothing new to say really. I've just picked up this new book last night. It's an interesting read. It's called "A Course in Miracles." I began reading it because it's recommended a lot in Amazon after buying another book. After ordering it, I was just stunned at how thick it was--around 1000 pages! =/

I didn't play WoW last night, cause I wanted to sleep early. So, I just picked up the book and started reading it. It was fine. Can't really tell anything yet. But it has this beautiful saying at the beginning.

"Nothing real can be threatened,
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God."

Tomorrow, I'll be going to a friend's place, and have a good time. We're planning on watching the Chinese New Year festival here, go to some event and go to some restaurants. Hopefully, I can post some pictures afterwards.

Ciao!
