Christmas is coming, come play Poker, be an ice skater

My first time to go to the Sunday service at VCF since remember-when. And last night was gimik night after church. McDo@Mariahilfstr. + Köö@Stephansplatz. First Poker game, first winter snow this year (I think the day before yesterday was this year’s first winter snow in Vienna, but the homebody that I am didn’t notice that at all!), and first pic with a real, living Christmas tree.

A White Christmas wouldn't be complete without the ice skating challenge. I may look like I'm enjoying in these pictures, but I really was not. I dreaded it (I still dread it) because I fell several times! But it was worth trying, anyway.

Pinoys go Japanese in Vienna

This last Monday of November, a movie date with my brother and my cousins was planned. But unfortunately, my brother couldn’t make it because he said he has a lot of schoolworks to work on. I doubt it, but yeah, fine. We decided to just cancel the movie date. Luckily, we bumped into Kuya Carlo and his friend Wynn along Mariahilferstraße and ended up eating at a Japanese Resto there since it’s Wynn’s birthday. Kuya Carlo was nice enough to treat me. Aw… After a couple of hours of eating and chit-chatting, we finally decided to go home. But before doing so, we made a little fun of ourselves by going Jap! So there you go…Pinoys going Japanese in Vienna. :)

So damn addicted to PBB

Never been addicted to a show! Most of the time, the very first thing I do as soon as I wake up is to check PBB online forums. And then, I’ll end up spending the rest of my time reading these forums. Before I know it, it’s almost time for my German class. After my class, there’d be no doubt that I’d hurry to my laptop to again check on PBB.

This is so stalker-ish, but the other day I saw a link of J’s friendster account. Could you believe it, tears were falling down my cheeks as I browse the pictures? I actually cried! Gah! I know, this is really absurdity at its best! The few times that I absurdly cried over something were when I’d see pictures of Chris Tiu and when I actually saw Faust in person! But crying over J’s pictures is quite a hundredfold more tears and overacting!

Addiction for me has never been this bad.

Work it!

dear acee v. boredom is a sign of intellectual poverty. get off your butt and go do something productive. peace, man. i only get harsh with people i care about. :D but it’s true. use your head. learn something new. paint. sculpt bubblegum. carve rubber erasers. break the world record for longest paper clip chain. write a novel. whatever. DON’T WASTE YOUR BRAINS, ACEE V. i know you’ve got a brilliant nut in that cranium. WORK IT.

That was such an inspiring post, Ms. Ramos! I’ll take it from you and be sure to really work it!

Breaking anxiety's grip

Things would always turn out good for me, somehow. I really wouldn't have gone to the party today if I wasn't chewed out by my Dad the last time I skipped on a party. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Reunion of sorts with old friends and getting to know a few other good people. We played this Ninja game after the party at the venue and in the tram on our way home.

I guess I'm just always anxious for nothing. There's always a room for breaking free! Yes? Yes!

Enjoy life!

Happy 21st to ME!

My first birthday in Vienna. It was anything but fabulous. I was even wearing a shirt I wore the last night. Talk about dugyot days and ambush dinner, huh? But it's just the way I like it. No party, just a few good people -- yes, family! I wasn't really planning on doing anything at all. But my parents insisted on going out for dinner. Since I wasn't buying, anyway, I gave in! Haha, I know I'm bad. :D We ended up at a Chinese Restaurant just in our neck of the woods, one block away from home.

It was interesting that the resto was also celebrating it's 21st birthday this year! Yikee! Happy 21st birthday to you, too, Zhong Hua Restaurant! Thanks for giving me my first dose of Peking duck!

Dad at 45

At Brandauer's with family. Spareribs overload, but yummy! Ordered "Schweinbraten mit Knödel". It's basically thin-sliced pork and flat-sized bola-bola in gravy. I liked it!
