Scrumptious Saturdays: Never knew I'll love
Shawarma.
I always remember my older cousins buying and enjoying this whenever we are having our merienda. They would go out and come back eating this fresh-lumpia-like food with meat, onions, tomatoes, veggies and with a sauce that looks like mayonnaise and can be spicy.
It looks tempting to eat, but as a I kid, I NEVER appreciated the taste of onions. :| It was so..weird. I can't describe the taste but it was really horrible for me. That somewhat gave me the fear of eating shawarma again. :|
After 10 years, I decided to give shawarma another try. I was in SM Clark with my family and my lola decided to buy shawarma for our merienda. Not wanting to seem picky with foods, I agreed. At the hotel, I stared at the shawarma, thinking of how to eat it. HAHA. XD
I looked around and saw that everyone, even my 10 year old brother (?!) happily eating his shawarma away. I told myself, Okay I can do this. I took one bite then POOF! It was like one of the best things EVERRR.
Yay for shawarma! Two thumbs up :D

Theater Thursdays: The Great Outcast
Who would forget Balto, a stray that is half dog and half wolf, that heroically maneuvered a sled that carries medicines for the sick children in Alaska?
This has been my favorite movie as a child because I became so amazed with how Balto managed to sacrifice himself to make sure that the medicines will be brought back safely to help cure the sick children, especially Rosy. I think I cried at the end of the movie. Haha :P
I also managed to buy a dog figurine that kinda looked like Balto, and I even hug it as I sleep! (I know I know, it's weird. But what gives? I'm a kid. And I love Balto. Hah!)
Oohh, I remembered crying and throwing a tantrum when the foot of the figurine broke! :)) My mom even panicked and try to appease me that it was just a figurine. Just a figurine.
It wasn't just a figurine. It's BALTO. The best and my most favorite dog, EVER. I like him more than our pet dog. Haha. >:)
To cut the long story short, my dad used mighty bond to fix the foot. YAY :D The figurine is still displayed on my desk in my room ♥
Yes, I am very fond of dogs. :-bd

Whatever Wednesdays: A Fur-blog post
A random whatever from a not-random someone :D
So let me start off with my bestfriend, Angel. We've known each other 'til like forever. So we sort of know each other like the back of our hands ♥
Furbies. Do you even know what they are?!
Okay, I sound mean. (Angel will probably kill me for this. XD) But when you look at that thing slash toy, will you have the slightest idea of the type of animal it falls in to? @_@
The first time I saw her first furby, May-May, I thought it was a cool toy. It talks, sleeps, and you get to feed it! (Lame features, I know. But what would you expect from a kid? ;P) She's the gray one and she's already dead. :(
Her second furby is Minerva. I think she bought it during the time when furbies are becoming extinct in the market. Minerva's always been inside her box, until now. o_o Maybe because she's white or something. I don't know -_-
So here are 5 little somethings to help you understand what furbies are: I'll leave the judging to you >:)
Created in 1998, produced until 2000 (An overnight sensation?)
Strange creatures (owl-like something? XD)
Speaks furbish (u-nye-noh-lah: Show me a dance)
Has an infrared port on its head and says "No light!" when you cover it ._.
It's like a pet that does..something. I think :P

Whatever Wednesdays: Dancing Capsule
The sick Batang X here!
I was about to drink my medicine when a blog post popped in my head! (Geez, I get my blog inspiration from random things these days (e.g. pink sky). It gets so boring here at home. :/)
Moving on... I got my inspiration from my medicines and then I thought ooooffffff...!
*drum roll please*
Dancing Capsules!
Do you remember these?
Do you remember these?
Well, of course, not THAT dancing capsule. Haha. (Although it would be cool to see these techno babies in my pocket, wiggling away~)
I meant THESE:
I was looking for possible youtube videos, but seeing that these groovy capsules are now a dead fad...there were no videos. :(
I remember buying them for 5 pesos a piece at the store in front of our school and just placing them on my palm, tilting my hand from side to side, watching it with awe as it "danced". It helped me get past the boring lectures in school. (Although these little critters were prone to being confiscated. :/)
Of course, now I know it's caused by the pull of the magnetic force of the magnet inside of it.
But my mind wasn't that corrupted yet by my education! (hah.) So, the kid me in the 90s was amazed about how this tiny thing jiggled.
(Ang babaw ko pala na bata. Haha.)
I bought every available color I could find! My favorite was the purple + green combination.
But now, I find it funny. It heavily reminds me of Immodium. :/
Dancing Capsule =/= Stomach pains.
Ok. I digress.
So yeah. Dancing capsules. My parents were so worried I'd accidentally swallow one or that I'd leave them lying around and people would mistake them for real medicines.
In my head, I was like oooh, I should keep them somewhere safe.
Today, I can't believe I found sane reason in their sermon! Who, in the right mind, would drink meds not safely packaged? :/
Although, I would like to mention I had an experience of getting one dancing capsule wet and I touched it, and, don't judge me, I tasted my finger. It tastes like rubber crappy poison. HAHA. Meh. I was a kid. I try stupid things. (I still do, though. So am I still a kid? :/)
Anyway! If you've experienced fiddling with these awesome dancing capsules, then good job you! If you haven't, LOSER. YOU'VE TOTALLY MISSED HALF OF YOUR LIFE!
(or maybe you weren't born yet and you just managed to stumble upon this blog. boo. you're young. i envy you. but then again, your capsules don't dance! TAKE THAT!)
Sigh.
My medicines are so boring.
I wish they danced. :/

TV Tuesdays: Omellete du Fromage
"Some things are a little more important than French class, Computer." -Dexter
With the help of his Subconscious Disco-Graphic Hypnotator, Dexter studied for his French exam over the night while sleeping. What this thingamajig really does is that you put a record at the top then what is played in the recorder are automatically placed in your subconscious mind, thus causing retention and being activated into the conscious. Accidentally, the record malfunctioned and it was stuck with the word Omellette du Fromage, which meant cheese omellete! Haha! And to think, it even made Dexter Man of the Year by Time Magazine! Unfortunately though, he was not able to capture his own laboratory since its security has voice recognition, and Dexter cannot say anything else aside from omellette du fromage.
Dexter's Laboratory has been one of the cartoons I have been watching and waiting for when I was still in elementary. *sigh* Time flies so fast, I don't think the show is still being aired these days. I'll never forget how annoyed Dexter is with his pestering older sister, Dee Dee. (I too am very much annoyed with her. Haha!) So here's a little something to remind you guys of this little genius and how he endures and works with the wonders of science and of course, Dee Dee. :D

Music Monday-night: Do-Re-Mi Theme Song "I Can"
We're on a roll today!
I just happened to gaze outside my window and I thought how wonderful it would feel to touch the pink sky. (How emo and cheesy can one get??)
Then I remembered this song.
I knew I just had to post it.
Remember the TV channels back then? Before Cinema One, there was VIVA Channel 6 where Pinoy movies were shown 24/7.
I always caught this one movie on that channel back when I was a kid.
I wonder if you guys know it. :p
"I can live, I can love. I can reach the heavens above. I can right what is wrong. I can sing just any song."
It's such a feel good song, don't you think? I just hate how off Mikee Cojuangco's voice was. Haha. Oh well.
Oh. It's from the movie Do-Re-Mi, by the way. It's entitled "I Can".
I might just do a flashback on that movie some time.
For now, let's sing out loud.
Now here's a random photo of the view outside my window.
Huzzah.
Batang X number 1 signing off. :)

Music Mondays: Bare Naked Ladies - One week
Hey guys! Been a while hasn't it huh?
Anyway, to start off our return, here's something a little up beat and nonsensical :D
The song came out 1999. Yep it's catchy and fun, and hard as hell to sing along to, but it ultimately makes no sense. Whatsoever. Anybody can provide a helpful interpretation?
The video itself is cool though, very very "90's" for a lack of a better term, and feels like a fitting culmination of the lighter side of the decade. The song's the kind that gets stuck to your head for about a couple of days... or weeks.
yeah that's it hahaha...
watch out for more updates in the following days!
