A Sinful Night after Zombadings

This dessert is called Original Sin.  It's apple crepe from Cafe Breton.  I thought it was appropriate to consume it after we watched Zombadings.

"Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington"  opened for commercial release last week.  It was the most popular movie in the cinemas.  It was a limited release and in the cinemas where it was showing - there were long queues.  Everyone who watched the movie was thoroughly entertained by this wickedly funny movie .

"Zombadings ..." is about a boy who found himself "turning" gay at the age of 21.  The metamorphosis was presented in funny scenes - which included dressing up in baby Ts,  speaking in gay-speak, and dancing to the tune of House Music.  

I sometimes felt conflicted while watching the movie.  On the one hand it has messages of gay men being strong men for choosing to express who they really are.  On the other hand - it seems to imply that being gay is a curse.   I chose to overlook that conflict.  I chose to overlook that the movie presents just one dimension of being gay - being the funny man who chooses to be a girl.  I chose instead to set my attention to the lovely story between the family and friends of the boy.  The father who knows in his heart who his son is and sacrifices his sacred "manhood" to let his son live out and express who he really is.

Let me just say that Martin Escudero was brilliant in this movie.  His comic timing was perfect.  In fact - his performance is as impeccable as the comedic timing of the current queen of comedy: Eugene Domingo.  I will not be surprised if he gets nominated or even wins acting awards this year.

Bacon Mushroom Melt from Wendy's

This is the Baconator from Wendy's.  It's 1/4 pound beef patty, topped with bacon strips, and cheese in a bun.  That actually sounds like a heart attack delivered in between two buns.  It is delicious - but I thought it is insanely expensive.  When the cashier told me how much my bill was - I asked which of my orders were that expensive.  Apparently - this combo-meal costs 284 pesos.  So I guess if you don't get a heart attack from the food itself - you can get it from the shock of how much this fast food item is.

Breaking Away from Routine

I love having my daily routine.  I like having my walks in the morning, breakfast after that, sleep all day, walk in the evening, have dinner, then sleep again.  I like it when I can anticipate every turn in the route of my daily walks.  Three times around the Salcedo Park before heading back.  I can pinpoint the five spots in the neighbor heed where I can take care of business number 1 and business number 2.

I love being able to experience what I expect but I realized that when Daddy breaks my routine - I experience a feeling of fulfillment like no other.  The past week - Daddy has been doing variations in our daily morning walk's route.  I am now able to see Ayala Avenue one day - the next day I see Makati Ave - on other times it's Dela Costa.   When I check out pee-mail ,  I sometimes get pomeranian pee-mail and sometimes it's the chow-chow's pee-mail.  Definitely a large variety of pee-mails from my doggie friendds. The experience just opens up my mind.   That's the good part.

Of course there's a flip side to all this excitement - I get really exhausted after all of these walks.  When we get back to the House - Char Siew and I get our sip of water - then sleep - for a very very long time.

I hear daddy say - this excitement and exhaustion is all intentional.  He says physical exertion is good - but mental stimulation is also good for us.   I don't know what that means - I'm too tired to think.
