Backaches and Burnt Popcorn

Been some time since I last blogged. Been up to a lot of New Year celebrations and stuff so I didn't have much time. Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! Hope it was a great 2005 for you! For me? Well, it was memorable. Looking forward to a new and improved 2006!

Went to Tagaytay with my cousins on the last day of 2005. Had a great time! For those who are not familiar with the place, basically it's just a 2 hour drive from Manila. Lots of restaurants up there...not really the modern kind but more rural and culture-ish. Lots of greenery and not much civilization compared to Manila of course but it's good place to relax and have fun. :) If you wanna see the pictures we took, check out ginarella.multiply.com :)

Since we all gain a little bit during the holidays, I decided to take up a sport. My chosen sport is.....boxing! Yes, boxing! It's really fun! There's this thing called the rapid fire where you just gotta box nonstop for like 2 minutes....whoah. Tiring but the feeling of having exercised and having burned all that chocolate cake is great! Well, don't ask what happened the next day. Let's just say, I was half bedridden.

One thing I miss most from Singapore? Popcorn! Everytime I watch a movie, I have to buy popcorn! I remember asking the guy to give me half of each flavor. Well, guess what! There is actually a flavor that's both sweet and salty in one. It's called, kettlecorn. So, my HUGE box from Singapore came back and I got back my stash of DVDs and we all decided we should watch something. What is a movie without a popcorn anyway? So we decided to pop some kettlecorn. After 3 minutes of heating it in the microwave, the whole kitchen smelled awful. Yes, burnt popcorn. Sigh. Guess I've got to fly back to Singapore to get back my popcorn! Movies, anyone?
