Scribesmeister v4 (In Zero Gravity)

I didn’t know that barber shops nowadays, just like beauty salons, offer facial scrub and other services including massage and hair treatments. Oh man, vain guys are mushrooming everywhere!!! I knew I was in a barber shop because well, first, it looked like one and second, there weren’t any barbers wearing a tight top, make-up and colored hair. Anyway, I was there to accompany my brother JUST to get his hair shaved off. After a while, the barber said something and I saw him nodding. Then he was motioned to lie on his back and the facial scrubbing and massage started and simultaneously, the other “assistants” commenced on spatting a bluish wax onto his head. That was his first time to be introduced to such beautifying methods (and he’s not exactly happy about the amount of money he paid for it). Well, I really didn’t care about that. Truth is, I was trying not to look at him because it’s a torture to see him getting pampered and all that…plus, I was observing “someone’s behavior” while looking for a perfect angle where I could capture “a moment”. LOL! Good thing I always have my trusty mobile phone, it’s not one of the high end ones and that’s just perfect ’cause people won’t even give it a second look whenever I pull it out in public. Haha. And that, makes me look less suspicious when I’m on paparazzi mode.

Have I told you that I could sense the “gayness” even in the most seemingly straight guys? Well, that’s about 80% accuracy. It’s hard to tell whether it’s about being a girl or being a guy in my past life though. Haha. So yeah, I spotted this guy eyeing my brother in a really weird and disgusting way.

pare, pa-kiss naman o…

Signs that he’s totally floored:

1. He keeps staring at my brother without blinking! If he’s a real guy, he’d rather stare at me, right? Okay, maybe I am not his type but can’t he just look somewhere else?
2. He averts his gaze away whenever it meets mine because my eyes are questioning, “What the hell are you looking at?”
3. He fixes the towel that touches my brother’s face when he shouldn’t have any business with other people’s customers.
4. He constantly checks if the facial steamer is blowing enough steam. Haha! Yes, I just said that it’s not his job to do that so why won’t he just quit it?
5. He croons along with the song lyrics…”mangangarap ka na lang ba? o gawing katotohanan na?” (improved version: would you just content yourself with dreaming or make it a reality?)
6. He bites on his lower lip nervously. That is just repulsive, don’t you think?

And you could just imagine my brother’s uneasiness when I told him about the first vital sign. Haha! He just wanted to storm away. Yes, he could be a little homophobic - but that’s him all right? Not me. I have nothing against gay men - I have really good friends who are and I love them. I just thought you could use a few good laughs on someone’s public display of ATTRACTION. And it makes me cringe. I wish I could have taken better photos, but he would have found out what I was doing if I tried to get closer! Worse, he could have assumed that I like him?! Ewww!

Have a nice weekend! ^_^

He’s the only one who could drag me around the malls all the day, who could make me wait for almost 2 hours while he plays around, who could actually make me spend more than I am willing to shell out…Haha. He could be a little demanding most of the time but I do love spoiling and trying to discipline him at the same time. Believe me, it’s a real challenge to be able to convince him that other things are better than Transformers. In a kid’s mind, that’s a lie. I know he doesn’t believe me, but at least he put down the Power Rangers collectibles - we instead came down to an agreement that I would get him Transformers for Christmas if he could show me a star everyday until Christmas.  Haha! Well, I know that is possible because he’s really smart - just plain bully at times. So now he really has to try his darndest to behave or he won’t get any.

So yeah,  after all the fun yesterday - both of us are now stuck in bed with an ice bag on the head. Was it all the walking? or all the food we ate every after 30 minutes? He has colds and tonsilitis and I have migraine and a little fever. Anyway, I guess it was worth it. Besides, we’re both happy. He’s even asking me to go out this Saturday to meet and greet his favorite Power Rangers at Megamall. Oh, please… Maybe next week again?

So, I got to go back to bed now. My arthritic hands are starting to kill me.

The moment I saw a photo of Jeff Besoz, the founder and CEO of Amazon.com, showing up with the sweetest thing ever…I knew my heart was beating uncontrollably fast for a reason.

I am in loooooooooooveeeeeeee!

What do you think? Isn’t he such a swoon-worthy possession?:P No, I’m not talking about Mr. Besoz! It’s the Amazon Kindle - the ultimate ebook reader! It’s aesthetically pleasing, seemingly manageable and all powerful! Well, I am not sure if he’s indeed flawless. Some customers have to scrutinize and review him first so that I’d know if he’s good enough for me. LOL.

I’d definitely choose this over an iPhone or that Google Phone which turned out to be just Android - the software for mobile devices including OS and key applications to make the actual mobile phone work as a PC. Haha. Anyway, let’s go back to Amazon Kindle. Do you know that it costs as much as the 8GB iPhone? Yes, it’s worth $399. And if you’re thinking that you could only read downloadable eBooks with this, na-ah. You can subscribe to your favorite blogs and it automatically receives updates throughout the day. It even has a dictionary to help you grasp the meaning of a word which you sometimes think is just made-up by the author. Haha. Plus, every unit has an assigned email address - so you could send all your personal paraphernalia such as word documents, jpeg files, etc and have it “wirelessly delivered” to your Kindle. So how does it work? They said it’s so simple that even a moron could make it kick. Haha. Know more about it at Engadget.

Besoz said that he’s always been into teletype ever since he was young which is why he believes that they cannot out-book the book…

We can’t out-book the book, but could use this new medium to go beyond… I’m proud after 3 years of development to announce the Amazon Kindle.

And if you could remember me saying that I enjoy reading from the physical copy of book, that’s true. I don’t think this could ever replace the scent of the freshly-opened book you just bought or just the contentment you feel each time you look at your book shelf slowly being stacked with some books signed by the author and you got as a present or great books you got at a bargain price. Haha! Mind you, I have never downloaded an eBook because I’m not sure if I really wanted to spend the whole time reading on a device (okay, off a computer screen) and I have this fixation for leafing through the pages. I once downloaded an audio book but, it put me to sleep in no time. Haha.

The only good thing about Amazon Kindle is that it’s pretty and perfect for backpacking. Imagine not having to carry around those thick and heavy books in your backpack. Unlike with PDAs, you could adjust the font size of the text and the thing assumes the size of a real book. Good enough, right? Now, I have another one added on top of my wish list! I wonder though if it includes a stylus to edit Word docs and to highlight your favorite lines in your eBook.
