11-20 Random things

11. A couple of months ago, Martin and I took the MRT to Gateway to try Taco Bell. After discovering that they serve lettuce and nothing else, we decided to leave and, as we were running towards an open train, I accidentally kicked his slipper out of his foot. As luck would have it, the slipper chose to tumble down the narrow gap between the train tracks and the platform. Martin had to travel from Cubao to Makati absolutely flabbergasted (there's no other word for his expression) and shaking with laughter (my mouth was literally open the whole way back). Anyway:

a) We had to force one of the security guards to radio the Cubao station and have him fish out Martin's slipper.
b) Martin had to go back to the Cubao station wearing my slippers
c) I had to wait at the Makati station with one too-big slipper, amidst a crowd of people asking what was going on.

Priceless.

12. I just found out that I have thyromegaly. This means that I'm going to have to be corrected for goiter and that I really am going to have to eat fish (Dammit) this time. On top of that, I have to take steroids three times a day for an unknown allergic reaction that keeps me from sleeping at night. In the derma's own words, "It's not serious, just really annoying."

13. I remember when Ana and I were laughing with Clara so much that she puked all over me. I had her over my arm and when she puked, I ran outside laughing to show BJ and his friends. Then she puked all over me again! I was soaked with baby vomit and I thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I miss you Clara! (Here she is eating lumpia)

14. I listened to "What do you with a B.A. in English" from Avenue Q more than twenty times today. My mom loves it. "Let's listen to the sucks sucks sucks song again!"

15. I don't think anyone will understand how happy I was to hear S Club 7's "Sugar Rush" on one of my old cds. It's so bad I love it.

16. In case you haven't noticed, I am rushing this survey like anything.

17. I'm currently reading Iris Murdoch's "A Fair and Honorable Defeat," and I'm really enjoying "eavesdropping" on all those conversations!

18. Twenty minutes ago, I ran over my big toe with the computer chair. It's still bleeding (my toe, not the chair)

19. When I got home from the States, I was so excited to hook the Vonage router up so I could call BJ right away. So excited, in fact, that it EXPLODED in my face because I plugged it into a 220 volt-plug. You should have seen me, I was sobbing like it was the end of the world.

20. I went to Wendy's today and was shocked that the Frosty is now 39 pesos?!?! Mahal!
