Long Day!

Long Day!
And I guess it's gonna be like this for a while. No regrets though. I mean, it's not gonna be for long so I have to sacrifice a little bit.


So we did our second trial of thesis at the University of the Philippines Manila for about two hours and then we decided to go to Robinson's Place Manila to kind of kill time. I was actually from night duty and our call time was at 11 so I barely had sleep but still! I was kind of hyper and all that. I also asked my cousin to go with me since we're understaffed so I really appreciated the fact that she came to help.


We saw a tea shop that is relatively new to us. We were actually supposed to go to Serenitea but I asked them to try this so we would have an idea of what's going on or whatsoever.
My friend and I ordered this thing on the poster because my friend asked what's the most delicious tea and the guy there asked us to try their best seller and just because we don't really know, we were sold. But my cousin ordered the Chocolate something Milk Tea. Which is surprisingly good. Ours was okay but not really that promising. Oh well. But it's still good. Large tea in this store usually costs 100 pesos so, not bad. Sakto lang.


And then we decided to eat at Hainanese's Delight which I was so curious about because I would always pass by their place and stuff so yeah.


Took this picture because the heart cut outs are so adorbs. I like it.


We of course ordered their best seller because you know, that's what people do in a situation like this. The chicken was good but the rice is better. They actually refill rice for free! How awesome is that? Gluttony!! The chicken meal costs 130 pesos and the iced tea costs 40 pesos which I thought is a little bit pricey for an iced tea. But oh well. So that happened. We actually had more than 4 cups each because the thing is they're using that small ice cream scooper as an alternative so we asked for two servings na agad agad.

Then we saw this and I thought I'm gonna share this with you. I am partly Chinese but I don't really believe this kind of stuff because you know, how can we all have the same luck? That's just kind of bizarre. But like what I've said before, it's good to be guided and all that so that it'd be easier for us to track the right path! And also, since the predictions are kind of relevant and possible, I actually think that this is kind of legit and all that. But not really. You know, I wouldn't waste my time believing this is if I happened to have a bad year coming or whatever. I'd be like, Chinese horoscope your face! No offense. Really though. At the end of the day, we believe the things we want to believe. And I approve of my Chinese Sign this Lunar New Year. I'm sorry I didn't take photo of the rest because you know, you know.

I have to better my life. Yup.

That's all! :) Happy Chinese or Lunar or whatever New Year to those who are celebrating it. Yehey! :)

Long Day!

Russian Roulette.

Russian Roulette.
With all the bombings that happened recently that involved firearms and such, it has been a controversy whether or not private individuals should be allowed to carry one.

And I would like to share my reaction on this whole issue.

Recently, Sandy Hook was attacked by a guy named Adam and shot 26 innocent individuals.

See, I agree that people should be able to defend themselves in the best way possible but there should be a certain place where to get it and there should be a series of psychologic exams to be able to acquire one.

Because gun control wouldn't actually do anything good to anyone. It's not like criminals would just back off when it's finally implemented. It's not like bad people are actually waiting for this gun control to happen for them to start a new beginning. No. The thing is, since they're still out there with their guns, what about the good guys? It's not like the bad guys would just drop off their guns if they saw that their victims don't have guns and that they would just fight manually instead. It's not fair.

So what I'm trying to say basically is that if they allow private individuals to acquire guns, then there might be a lesser chance of murder and all that because bad people would hesitate a little bit. They wouldn't feel superior and just kill anybody. Think of it this way. There's a two room apartment and there's an armed man who wants to rob the place. The first room is where a normal person lives and the other one is where an armed person lives. The robber is actually aware of the whole situation. Where do you think will he go? Exactly my point.

Can I just share something?

Few years back, when we were on our way home from the airport, just few blocks away from our house, I saw a group of teenagers and one of them was holding a gun. I was threatened because they didn't appear to have a license to be holding that gun and stuff so that was scary as shizz.

We do have a gun in this house. My mom is actually licensed to carry a gun. My dad actually used to fire that gun in a shooting range but not anymore. Now would we use that if an intruder comes in this house, definitely.

Personally, I would like to have one in the future. For security, not for anything else.
