Weekend hangover

It's already Wednesday and I still have a hangover from my weekend in Batangas. Someone please take me back to the beach!

In the company of the fit single people I work out with, I had an epiphany. In addition to all the qualities I would like in a guy, he also has to believe in fitness like I do. I realized that when I saw this post on instagram:

Not that I have big muscles like those gorgeous female CrossFit athletes you see on YouTube, but you get my drift. I don't like guys who smoke and lead a sedentary lifestyle. He doesn't have to do CrossFit, but he must be into physical activities -- running, cycling, BJJ, zumba, whatever. So thanks, CrossFit for ruining me and setting the bar even higher.

This makes me wish I could dance

I'm almost done watching Season 8 of So You Think You Can Dance, but I don't want it to end! I've seen several seasons of this show and Season 8 is easily my favorite so far. I love all of the Top 10 dancers and they always seem to be having such a good time. I also love that there are a couple of Filipinos in this season (Marko and Tadd).

This routine by Marko and Melanie is my favorite. I love the story and the acting. No surprise that it was choreographed by Nappytabs - they always come up with the coolest hip-hop routines.

This routine made me appreciate the song even more. It always makes me smile, makes me wish I could dance, and it makes me believe in love! I watch it every time I need a pick-me-upper.

Angry Birds Star Wars? Yes, please!

Mig loves (read: is addicted to) this version of the game, so much so that he drew his own version of it in the sketch pad I gave him. I have to say, it's much better than the original, and worth its $2.99 price.

Homemade iced coffee

I've been into iced coffee lately, so when I went to Hong Kong I got myself this tumbler (one of the very few things I'd bought, if I may add). I'd seen this before in Starbucks stores here, but it wasn't till I started making cold-brewed coffee that I began wanting one.

I almost regretted buying it for HK$90 when I saw a Hong Kong Disneyland tumbler at the airport selling for HK$60, but I do like the simplicity of this one.

Oh, and inside the tumbler is a big serving of the iced Vietnamese coffee I always have whenever I have time to make it.

My weakness

Durian. You either love it or hate it.

Give it to me fresh or frozen, in a shake or in my coffee, in a pie or in a cake.

This is why whenever someone goes to Davao I always ask for durian. Even when it's off-season, just in case that person happens to come by good durian at the market.

Luscious, finger-licking durian

It stinks like anything, but for fanatics like me the smell is h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. :)

This makes me miss Davao.
