The Weekend that wAs, and Something to Look Forward to.

This past weekend I saw myomething to look forward to.self seriously, deliberately, and happily committing a capital sin: gluttony. 

On Saturday afternoon I had a major food trip with classmates – foot long sandwiches, siomais, Japanese cakes, calamares and cotton candy washed down with c2 iced tea. 

That night I went with Via and other friends to a huge birthday party where, for dinner, we each had at least two helpings of rice, and our plates overflowing with relleno, spring rolls, mechado, grilled tuna belly, baked stuffed turkey, ensalada… washed down with coke and Carlo Rossi. For dessert I had two huge slices of the triple layer birthday cake (choco, mocha and butter) and more than 10 pieces of yummy oatmeal choco chip cookies! We had spaghetti too. My god, the hosts just keep piling stuff on our plate and they’re just too delicious to resist. After that, just to burn everything I stood while watching 101 Most Awesome Moments in Entertainment over at the lifestyle network. 

Going home we were kidding about fitting ourselves into the car. I think we all gained five pounds after that. I don’t really mind. 

Earlier, for breakfast, I had a huge plate – fried rice with sardines, luncheon meat, 2 hard boiled eggs, and 3 pieces of pastel (tasty buns filled with yema). Plus two slices of papaya and a banana. 

That was one heavy breakfast so I decided I’d eat lunch at like, 2pm. Argh, I ended up a consuming a good-for2 meal from Karate Kid! 

And today, my folks brought me like, 5 types of dishes – pork adobo, chicken curry, grilled tilapia with ensalada, chopseuy and sweet and spicy longganisa. Goodness! I feel like I’m going to be executed tomorrow! I had to consume the chicken curry and grilled fish because they won’t taste as good tomorrow.  

Chewy brownies for dessert. Man.  

I am not complaining. I love to eat. I have zero worries about getting unwanted weight, because I have a metabolism faster than a speeding bullet. Besides I really need the extra weight since I kick box, swim and bike a lot.  

I just think maybe what I had over the weekend was too much.  

Anyway, despite that little prick of conscience, I thought it was a wonderful blessing. To be enjoying all these yummy food. I’ll just think of that as me eating in behalf of the world’s starving children. Bless you all, kiddos.

From  http://www.6767.com/ (Dave Navarro’s blog) On to Rockstar stuff. Tomorrow we tape another Tuesday performance show. This time the remaining singers will be doing “stripped down” versions of their songs. Not totally acoustic, but pulled back arrangements that will really help highlight their voices. Some, like Ryan, Dilana and Magni, don’t really need a day like this as they have already taken it upon themselves to do raw performances. Lukas could really benefit from a stripped down song as he has yet to really be simple and direct with a vocal. His version of Creep was amazing and was the closest thing to stripped, but tomorrow (Tuesday) he will have even less rock power behind him from the House Band. One of the contestants will even be doing an original song. Smart move. It is definitely time for song writing chops to come into play on the main stage.  

Oh my god, that makles me super excited about this week’s show! Yay!
