yesterday was a holiday here in the Philippines (araw ng kagitingan or valors day) and the heat is quite tremendous actually (about 32C-34C) so Malou and I went to several stores in Glorieta and in Greenbelt just to cool ourselves and we couldn’t help but to check out NSG (National Sports Grill) in GB3 and dig-in to their mud pie with bottomless lemonade and coke at side, hehehe …

actually we planned out for a kart-race yesterday but unfortunately we didn’t make it through because the circuit is closed during Monday’s for repairs and maintenance … so we went to harbor-square for an hour as we’re all waiting for Star City to be open for the public by 6pm … to make the story short, we hit another cool-spot in Iceberg and ordered melon-mango-strawberry con hielo plus a German-sausage, bwahahaha … anyway, we had a kewl day indeed and more than what I expect, hahaha … I’ll be posting more pics later and oh btw, the season for a perfect sunset shot and fiery-skies is back, summer is here na sa Pinas

last Sunday we went to Montalban with Malou’s officemate (KMAD) which is a bit far from the city for their outreach program for the elderly brethren at ANAWIM: Refuge For The Poor and Abandoned … btw “Anawim” is a Hebrew word, meaning, “The poor of the Lord”

twas a kewl day indeed to enjoy their company and listen to their stories in life, triumph, and the secrets of their youth … the oldest of them all is Lolo Jose who is a 96 yrs old veteran and just beside Lolo Romulo who I was assigned to be with

seeing their smiles and joy behind their trials and learning from them is really a kewl thing … for they were once soo young, wild, and very alive

today’s a leap year date and to culminate yet another mark in our history AGAIN!!! which calls for the resignation of the President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo … her presidency is under-attack with a lot of issues regarding to the ZTE-NBN deal … and to me Inquirer is right, “Arroyo has lost her moral authority to lead the country and should give way to the constitutional successor” … pero sino? … si papa.Noli? … ok, hhmmm … ha!? … haaaay, cge cge … hahahaha

last Saturday night I bought from Amazon a Camera Armor for my Nikon D200 body plus the battery grip … my cam been suffering on a body-rubber peeling issue that’s quite famous for high end Nikon camera’s … which is quite funny as the term HIGH-END!!! … well, I can let Columbia fix the problem but of cor’z I’ll be shelling out money for it but oh well … until I’ve read about this rubber-plastic like condoms for my camera which is quite new … so I’m giving it a try as I got a $75 buks to cash out btw, hahahaha …

Hope it’ll arrive before Malou’s leaving this Friday so that I’ll be able to review by next week
