Or well, at least our internet connection right now >.< It's sluggish, goes off and on and is generally tempermental. Kinda like how I'm feeling like right now :p
I had the least productive day on my two-week summer extravaganza today. My parents woke me up at the early time of 10:00 a.m. (that's early for someone who usually drags her lazy ass off bed at 11:00 a.m.) thinking that we'll be leaving early for my cousin's house.
We weren't.
I also thought we would eat out on the way to my cousin's house but she insisted we go straight because we might be late for the other visitors coming. Turns out we weren't late, the other visitors were.
We waited for 3 hours XD. It wasn't as useless as I make it seem though because I finally finished The Man Who Ate The World by Jay Rayner (whom I just realized also critiques at Top Chef: Masters). The book was good. The start was great, but like him, after a while all the dishes began to sound the same. Plus the fact that he only looked at high-end of Michelin starred restaurants was kinda disappointing. In order to look for the best meal in your life, one shouldn't limit yourselves to these kinds of restaurants. As an avid street-food connoisseur, I can say that some of the best food I've ever eaten can be found in little side-walk canteens with nary a maitre d' in sight.
Well, one food lit book down, another one up on my list. The Tummy Trilogy by Calvin Trillin. Wow, for once I'm personifying my blog's title XD.
My niece and I then decided to go ahead and stuff ourselves full of chocolate at a little cafe nearby. We did that and then we dragged ourselves back home.
Here at home, we then finished Legion (Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. That is all.) And a Hindi movie called The Three Idiots or something of the same vein XD.
Yup, it was an unproductive day. Hopefully I can finally go ahead and start playing around with graphics tomorrow while finishing the organization of my test review materials. Which reminds me that I still have to edit our thesis proposal to a validation study X_x.
NO! I'm thinking about school already D:. I can't help it though, today is the last free Friday of the two-week summer extravaganza D:
Oh well, off to sleep "early-ish" for once XD.
