The Otap Chronicles.

According to Wiki, Otap is an oval-shaped^[1] puff pastry in the Philippines, especially common in Cebu where it originated. [1] [2] It is usually created from a combination of flour, shortening, coconut, and sugar. In order to achieve the distinctive texture of the pastry, it much undergo a two-stage baking process.

Anyway, there's a guy here from Cebu who's just got married (bless his soul). And he brought truckload of Otap to our office. I tell you, it's the best Otap in the universe. We've been feasting on fresh Otaps for quite a while now and I tell you, the possibilities are endless. In the morning, I dip it in hot chocolate or sometimes coffee and it's quite good. In the afternoon, I match it with Yakisoba. It's kind of disgusting when Otap gets wet but the taste is great. You know, the components of the Yakisoba gets mixed up with the Otap as the Otap absorbs it to its core.

You see, Otap can be the next big thing in food. It is the most versatile food out there, you can put cream cheese on it and press in with another Otap. Or, you could put it on top of Barbeque... I mean, the possibilities are virtually endless! I want to be the premier Otap chef... then I'll get aprons with "Kiss the Otap Chef" on it. The future is bright!

I could throw away my programming career and start an Otap business here in Manila. Whoa, just got a thought... how about Otap Pizza!? Man! That would be great! I mean, Greenwich introduced a while back Lechon pizza with Mango and it sucked. But Otap here could revolutionize the way we eat Pizzas, man!

How does Otap shakes sounds? Otap salad? I mean Otap could replace croutons! Then salad price would drop and Philippines would be free from poverty, man! How about Macaroni and cheese and Otap, man! This would be revolutionary! It's like when Rubik's Cube or POG got out, man! I have no idea why no one thought about this!

This could be the solution to the rice famine! Oh man, I can't wait!

Now let me write that resignation letter...

Lagi ka kasing tama.

Morning, you asked me a question. I answered it. Then, yet again, you burst, you burst out your insecurities, your thoughts through piercing words that you know will not ever pierce my armor. Not again.

I told myself that I've had enough of you monologues. Your rants about how life didn't turn out as you wanted it to turn out. Once again, you screamed. Of course, you wouldn't hear my side.

Of course, the facade that you build wasn't even true. Outside, you are proud of me. Outside, you make me look like a hero. But in reality, you are mad. Why? Because I wasn't the son you pictured me to be? Why? It is because of you. You and your facades. You and your ego. You and your mouth.

Of course, you will seek the sympathy of others without telling them what happened. What really happened. Nothing new there, mother. I wished I am independent enough to live on my own. But I am not, so I hold your house as a place where I can sleep and prepare for the next morning. I don't call it my home. It's just a prison where I would inevitably hear your words. If you notice, I never come home with you awake. If you notice, I don't care what you feel. I am numb and for me, you're just a sore.

But I thank you. You have molded me into a person I am now. No lies, no facades, just the truth. A paragon of truth, if you will. I will never be the same as you.

Soon, I'll be leaving. And when I do, you wouldn't even hear me leave. I wouldn't even look back.

You will never ever again hurt me. Ever.

Ah, life long question - answered.

Where did hotdog come from?

We were asking ourselves that this lunch. Then I witfully volounteered that hotdogs came from worms. Well, that's what I've been told. See, we are exposed to the net the whole day but we did not bother looking for the answer at google or something. So we formulated theories on this question:

I told them that during the metamorphical stages of a worm, they turn to be hotdogs in the end*. The actual hotdog we buy from the store, you know, the one packed in red plastic, are actually live worms. Yup, that's right, and we have no idea that when we slice little slits on the hotdog's body, we kill them in the process, so it's possible now for us to eat them.

Yeah, hotdogs are such a wonder, it's so versatile that you can cook them any way you want - Fried, adobo, grilled, sinigang, nilaga - and the list goes on and on. Then we ignore worms, we stomp at them if we are so inclined. But they provide us with hotdog which is our favorite breakfast on mornings.

*Egg -> baby worm -> teenage worm -> adult worm -> hotdog.

Untitled.

The waiter was cleaning up the plates of salad on
our table and replacing them with dishes of the
main course when she walked in. I looked twice,
just to make sure it was her; after all, it's been ten
years. It was.

There she was, my ex. Just like that, she walks
back in to my life, and now, suddenly, my brain is
flushed by memories of her, and us, and how
much I loved her.

Of course, ten years could do so much, and she
looked a little different now. She had grown her hair
long. Back then, she often talked about how she
wanted to grow her hair long, and how beautiful
she'll be then. She was right. She looked like a
goddess as her long black hair further accentuated
her flawless mestiza complexion.

Her face hasn't changed much, her lips were still
as red as I remember them, although that's
probably helped by the lipstick she now wore. She
had very light make-up on, which woul! d give you
the impression that she put it on just for the sake
of putting it on. She definitely did not need it.

She was wearing a blue dress. A smile appeared
on my lips when I remembered how much I
enjoyed shopping with her. It might seem odd to
guys out there, who find shopping with their
girlfriends boring, but I really enjoyed shopping with
her. My favorite part was seeing her in all those
dresses, and looking at how great she looked, and
then telling myself how lucky I am because she'd
be wearing those dresses when we go out on a
date.

But she was the only girl I really enjoyed shopping
with, I became like all the other guys with the other
girls. I was bored to death, and I no longer did that
with any other girl.

She was in the company of another girl and a guy,
who had permed hair and wore make-up. I guess
it's safe to assume that the guy was gay, I mean,
the David Bowie look isn't exactly hot right now.

I really didn't care much for e! ither of the two,
because my attention was pretty much focused on
her. I couldn't help but notice her smile, which was
still beautiful but definitely different. It was the
smile of a confident woman, only flashes of which I
saw back when we were still together, when the
smile of a self-conscious but sweet, giggly girl was
the smile she wore on her face. Her eyes were still
the same, though. They were big and brown and
they'd grow bigger when she gets excited.

Her eyes were beautiful, the prettiest one I'd seen,
and there's just that tinge of melancholy in them,
which seemed to tell you that she could burst into
tears any moment. She could look at me with
those eyes, and I would just melt.

I was the one who walked away. I could barely
remember the reason now, but it was probably
something that seemed so big and important then
during that time, but would seem so silly and trivial
now looking back.

The only thing I could remember about that night
was that the! re were no stars in the skies. I don't
recall the look on her face then, probably because
I never looked, probably because I was too scared
to look.

Oh, and it was cold that night. It was very cold. It
probably rained, and I probably got wet, but I'm not
quite sure.

To tell you the truth, I never really got over her. Up
until now, I still keep that locket she gave me then,
one that had a picture of her when she was only
thirteen years old. She told me she put that
particular picture in the locket because she looked
so sweet and beautiful when she was younger.

Of course, I thought this was ridiculous, because I
thought she was the most beautiful girl to me at
that time. And the sweetest, too.

I remember, during my OJT the summer before my
senior year in college, I'd make sure that I was
alone during coffee breaks. I'd make sure that
absolutely no one is around me. Then, when I was
sure enough, I'd take out the locket and stare at it
dumbly. I'd see ! that sweet young girl, and I'd get
excited because I know I'd see her soon, and then
everything else in the world wouldn't matter. I still
keep that locket in a locked drawer in my house.
And yes, during rare moments, when I am
absolutely sure no one is around me, I'd take out
the locket and stare at it dumbly.

I guess that was the reason why I never came
back to school after graduation, not even for a visit.
There were just too many memories, too many
places we went to, too many people we know, too
many times when I sat there and held her hand,
too many moments when I looked into her eyes
and talked about forever.

There was a time soon after when I hated myself
for loving her so much. I had a hard time sleeping
every night, but pride of course prevented me from
asking her back. The thing about it was, nobody
knew. Everyone thought I was strong, and each
time I went out, I was out there with a smile.

There were too many things to do, too many
parties, too much schoolwork, too
many girls to keep me busy, and I kept myself
busy. I was determined not to
think about her anymore, but it was very difficult.
But I did it. After a long time, I just became numb.
Sure I wasn't thinking about her every second, but
the moment I stopped that, I was sure a part of me
died.

Finally, dinner was over and dessert was being
served. I gather all my courage to walk over to her
table and say "Hi."

"Hi. Oh my God, Paulo, Paulo Coronado. I haven't
seen you since..."

"Yeah." We haven't really seen each other since
that night I walked away.

"So how have you been? It's been so long..."

We exchanged some more pleasantries. It felt
great seeing her, again looking into her eyes after
all these years. I would have held her hand, I would
have stayed there forever, but I knew I had to go
back to my table where my wife and two children
were waiting...

Perhaps I know it is man alone who laughs;

He alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent
laughter.

Haaaaay...

Kawaii!!! Lols, wala lang, sobrang cute kasi niya eh. Para siyang key-chain. Ang wierd talaga ng mga Japanese. Kasi sa kanila pala, yang mga ganyan - or "idols", yan yung kinakalokohan nila. Wierd. Diba satin mga bold stars. Not that mahilig ako sa porn (ahem), pero ang wierd, para silang teenagers.

Nyahaha... tapos yang mga ganyan, pinag bibikini nila. Ewan! Wierd.

Domo kun!

Rawr!!

Ahem, ahem...

Nyahahahah... may kamukha din pala ako babae.

On pitasan and wierd inventions.

I woke up at 8am! So that's pretty late for my standards. Why? I slept at about four because I was talking on the phone with some friend. Anyways, my nape (batok) still hurts and I think it is because of the High blood that I am now having.

On my way here at the office (sandali n lng T_T), I saw a wierd, old man having this wierd cap like the one I drew above. It has this 'cooling mechanism' that helps the person wearing the cap, well, to, be - 'cool', especially with the weather the Philippines have. Well, it has a fan on the visor and a mirror on the top of the head to, maybe, ward off heat? I don't know, but that's the wierdest thing I saw this day.
