Antidisestablishmentarianism

With one of my two fave radio stations on retro music mode, I had to settle for the nonsensical babbling going on with the other. Good thing they slipped into a trivia game where a local celebrity would challenge one of the station's DJs. Losing would mean drinking a concoction of random food ingredients mixed in a blender ala-Fear Factor and, since both challengers were female, growing their armpit hair for a month (eew!) to be displayed on the website, hahahaha!

Now, I did pick up a few things listening to the whole episode, but guffawed most of the time coz there were a lot of stupid answers.

Question: If there was a kid, born 1990 & whose birth date was tomorrow; how old would he be today?
Answer was, of course, 15.
One of the girls answered "uhm... 23 or 24?"
Huh?

E=mc2
One of them answered "electricity equals mass times gravity squared!"
Gravity???? I can forgive Electricity, but Gravity?!?!

That same day, unable to nap, I found myself watching the pre-season finale of America's Top Model Cycle 4. One of their challenges was to be a TV correspondent. Now what surprised me was that they couldn't pronounce certain words. "Issey Miyake" was one of them. I could let that go, remember, these are the average american women. "Au Revoir", Im not sure if I should be so kind as to overlook this. But the word "magenta"??!? I was appalled!!! Hahahahahaha!!!

Imagine if they had to say this word: "antidisestablishmentarianism" I looked this one up, its in the English Dictionary. Its a mouthful, but worth the tongue-twisting if you can easily pull it off the first try.

Glimpse

I took a road trip to Los Banos, Laguna yesterday. I guess going on road trips is something I take after my late father. My family used to go on a lot of road trips. Up unitl the hustle & bustle of our lives put that to a stop. Yet my own trips never ceased. Something about a long drive relaxes me.

I was having dinner in Pizza Hut when a grandmother came in with a bunch of her friends. What caught my eye was the baller ID that she was wearing on her right wrist. Cool!!! She must have gotten it from her grandhild. Later on, a bottle of San Mig Light was placed in front of her. Astig!!!! For the rest of dinner, I stole glances. Looking over her table, watching her & her friends have dinner. She was so animated & lively! It warms my heart to see her live her life to the fullest. Enjoying a glass of beer with long time friends. It reminded me of my own set of friends who I regularly have dinner with. It was like I caught a glimpse of my own future with my friends. It was a very comforting thought.

Experiences like these can never be bought anywhere. Which is why I love going on trips. Each one is a new adventure. And I take home a new thought. More than often, a new perspective on things.
