As I was eating lunch the other day I noticed that the cured meat I had for lunch was a bit hard. I thought for a while that the meat has just been aired too long that it became hard. So I ate it without preamble nor complaint.

It wasn’t until I got home that I’ve learned that the meat wasn’t pork, as I thought it was. I was carabao (kalabaw) which is native here in the Philippines.

My reaction? I was surprised of course, but I wasn’t disgusted. I’ve already eaten some exotic dishes before like *censored to avoid readers’ disgust* and they weren’t that bad. The one main reaction I had though was that I suddenly remembered that when I was a kid growing up in the province, I’d go home riding a carabao after a day of playing in the fields.

Then I looked down at my plate again. ^^

I haven’t really been here for quite a while, have I? Imagine my luck when my hard drive had to be reformatted, not once, but twice. Oh, and did I mention that our internet in the office is getting funkier by the minute?

But probably one of the main reasons that I haven’t updated much here is because I haven’t touched Photoshop in a while, other than scan manga for Aerandria. Designing and creating graphics doesn’t hold much interest for me now as it did before. I see my friends who weren’t into designing before who are designing nonstop now. Maybe it’s an attitude of a ‘been there done that’ kind of thing. I actually am content just to let them create the images themselves and I’ll just post it. Maybe I’ll accept submissions in this site to slave off my laziness? ^_^

I’m more concerned about two things now. My Japanese lessons and web programming. At least in those two I don’t get bored as I am now with graphics design. Oh, and whipping Wordpress to do what I want it to do, of course. That’s always such a fulfilling task. >D

There was a new game started yesterday in Winglicans and it proved to be quite addicting. ^_^

The object of the game is to write out your favorite line from any song and then put the words ‘in my pants’ at the end of it. That’s all there is to it. Though the posts that came our were surprisingly hilarious. I’ll post the ones I like best here.

• I’ve become so numb in my pants.
• Kiss me, please kiss me in my pants
• Fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight, in my pants.
• Mary had a little lamb in my pants.
• What is it they’re afraid of in my pants
• With every second… and every minute… another soul is gone… in my pants…
• I hope you don’t mind… I hope you don’t mind.. that I put down in words…. how wonderful life is… now you’re… in my pants..
• I know that I aught to find someone new.. but all I found is myself always thinking of you.. in my pants…
• Tell me how I’m supposed to live without you in my pants
• Tell me what you want. What you really, really want… in my pants.
• heaven is a place on earth in my PANTS !!
• I don’t care how you do it in my pants
• You doing that thing you do in my pants
• All I want is you.. in my pants…

Yes, I know. We’re insane. ^_^
