burned out firechild

Grrr. I wrote a very long and very cheerful entry just 5 minutes ago. And just because I’m too stupid to figure out how to add a trackback. I just erased everything. Aaaargh…

Why are all my attempts to at happiness easily foiled? I was feeling really great earlier, narrating the mundane events of my day at Greenhills yesterday. Now I’m totally pissed. Totally pissed. I can’t re-write it in verbatim. The essence has been lost. But let me try. God, I hate this.

*************

Actually, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Just wanted to share with the world that Wavey is back and well. Kudos to DataCore’s efficient repair service. As expected I got her yesterday, a week after I left her there when she just hanged and wouldn’t function for some strange reason. But the good part is her backlight’s now working (it didn’t when she was first bought), and none of my songs were erased!Imagine that. I was already mourning for the precious mp3s I scrounged over the past few months, so I was ecstatic that they were still there. Ooh joy!

Since DataCore opens at 10, Nina and I had about 2 hours to kill after our shift that ended at 8am. We took a cab to Greenhills and got there 30 minutes after. Luckily Una Mas was open for breakfast. It was a rainy gloomy day perfect for a beer, and it was a good thing they served it too.

As the name suggests Una Mas is a restaurant serving Spanish Cuisine. Nothing Spanish though about Nina’s Salmon Belly with Garlic Rice and my omelet which though was called a "Spanish" omelet, was just as common as tapsilog. Nina was laughing at me as she bore witness to my voracious appetite. I ordered extra rice, because the 2 slices of garlic bread just wouldn’t do. And it was a large omelet– like made of three eggs I think and stuffed with peppers, chorizo strips, onions, olives and tomatoes. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take a pic cause I just scoffed the fluffy yellow thing immediately. What an appetite! And still I complain about my bulging belly.

We finished our San Mig Lights after the meal and made a short stopover to The Body Shop– they had a sale going on and I’m seriously considering the Bergamot spray at 50% off. Then off to DataCore on the Annapolis side tucked amongst the other musty electronics shops.

Also the restroom sink at Jollibee in that area is a must-see. It’s the first I’ve seen in ever, and whoever made it is an industrial art whiz– in my humble opinion. basta…

****

So there goes my boring day. Hopefully come Friday, I have something more substantial to write.
