Very nice meeting all of you guys!
I couldn't sleep for several nights!
I saw SAVER's titanium saddle! It's very much lighter than the stock saddle of Giant, yes?
Should I upgrade my saddle? Pimp Petey! Guru Jon! Advice! Advice!
How much would a stock saddle sell? (very slightly used at that, a sexy butt sitting at that too)
Mzmm, pogi ng XTC noh? Pagin Maam MEG! 2 jobs and a blank check please... oops! oops! Rewind!!!
The XTC is very affordable, reasonable and worth every peso, Ma'am! ;D
Jessie, Sdny, noodletown is a thief-infested town.
Rusty bikes used by delivery boys gets stolen within 5 minutes if eyes looking elsewhere.
Water meters and Electric meters (kontador) are stolen at night.
Let me tell you a story.
One morning, I arrived at my storefront to see the sidewalk flooding because the thieves just took off the meter and let the water flowing non-stop!
My conclusion is that the thieves must have sawed off the square bar cage of my water meter night after night until all the bars on the side was removed. Then it was just a matter of using monkey wrench to take off the meter). This happened to all my neighbors as well, all within the same week!
What was frustrating is...
I had to pay P1200 for the meter because I didn't report it within 24 hours to Maynilad.
Gee! I reported it to the baranggay and Maynilad said it doesn't count according to their rules!
I felt so stupid because it didn't occur to me that I should know Maynilad's own set of rules and regulations.
I just realized I might not have what it takes to run for senator.
I hope Maynilad officials get to run our country someday...
so I can watch and learn!
Cars get scratched, tires deflated if parked too long
and if tip not commensurate with the needs of the sidewalk pimp.
Vehicles parking in no parking areas (is there a sign?) are clamped by the City park rangers in scooters.
If penalty of P800 not paid within 3 hours in CityHall, MMDA towing service will arrive.
Then you have additional penalty of P1200 to pay the MMDA.
Now that we have a new mayor "make-my-day (Senator Alfredo Lim)
things will probably get even more stricter! ;D
But heck, lead by example and I'll gladly accept the rules and penalties with open arms anytime!
Let's go back to the noodle topic.
Did you know that good noodles are the long ones?
If you scrutinize the noodles in LAMIEN (plugging!),
what you get is several feet of noodles, effectively making it feel endless,
which represent long life.
Chinese tradition includes eating noodles in birthday parties, New Year and even Burials.
Eating scrap noodles (putol putol) is considered bad luck.
The right way of eating noodles is drinking a few sips of water or tea (few sips lang, not half a liter like what Ron did and effectively affecting his tummy capacity).
After eating the noodles, drink a few sips of water or tea again.
Not drinking before and after the noodles is bad. It is said to cause death (bangungot) when sleep follows.
If not enough liquid in the tummy where the noodles lie,
the noodles will absorb the liquid, making the tummy dry and suffocate from dehydration. Then you die.
Drinking too much before and after the noodles, on the other hand (OTOH), is also bad, because noodles will bloat even further due to the absorption of liquid, making digestion slower.
Soooo... those who want to maintain their sexy tummies,
noodles in moderation!
Do not eat more than 5 bowls in one sitting!!! ;D
Take my advice with caution. Some of them might actually make some sense... I hope. ;D
