The Way of the Fat

So stuffed right now..

Yes, as a disciple of Maxi Tong, I shall follow the footsteps of my legendary master. From years of learned experience, Master Tong has discovered the true and absolute way to battle cold - to create a protective layer of fat to insulate oneself from Boston's subzero weather.

Yes, bow down and worship the master's wisdom and magnanimity. *Peace man* :D

Seriously, if I don't stop eating like this, none of my clothes would fit come a couple of weeks. Nooooooo..

Anyway, the weekend's only a few hours away. Visiting the gym and checking out the university's table tennis club with Maxi later if things go dandy.

Burp.

PS. Hi Herschel! Thanks for stopping by! Taking up Computer Systems Engineering here and the math's hell haha.. Hope you're doing well! Linked your blog :D

Just a thought

No wonder

Moved in to my dorm last night. Funny smell to the room, but pretty much grows on you.. Finally finished unpacking but the room's still a mess with stuff, including the boxes of SkyFlakes and Fita mum packed..

Met my roommate Rikky and some floormates(?) They're a pretty great bunch. Went down to dinner with them and discovered that dinner, and every meal for that matter, was served buffet style complete with refillable soda and ice cream!

Eat until you explode. Mmm.. Eggplant pizza..

No wonder Maxi grew um.. plump. :D

Speaking of Mr. Tong, met up with him today and bought some schoolbooks at Barnes & Noble and some supplies at Staples and Bed Bath and Beyond. $150 textbooks. wtf. Ended up leeching most of my books from Maxi. Hee hee.

Ended the night in Penyang, some Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown, with Maxi, mum, and my cousin. Mmm.. Pork King Buff..

First day of classes tomorrow. Mine begins at 12pm.

Yay.

Wee

Pigeons in Boston are fat. So fat that they're really amusing to stare at walking up the street.


..no? ...nothing?


Since when did birds start walking? Was this one pigeon a freak of evolution? You see, as long as I could remember, I was told that because of a bird's unique bone structure, all they could do was fly or when on land, hop along. But nooo..

Lo and behold the fat walking pigeon.

Suddenly, I realized that my life had been one big lie and I could not take my eyes off this fat pigeon who was aimlessly wobbling along that lonely sidewalk of peace, hope and lurve.

Another magical day in Boston.

Wee.

Yay

Just noticed that coffee's really big in Boston, and I can clearly see why.. (Hint: It's the antonym of hot / warm / blistering / feverish / igneous / piping / recalescent / scorching / searing / sizzling / sweltering / thermogenic.)

Actually, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. Although today's forecast was in fact the warmest since I got here (some 10 deg higher), I'd like to think of myself as being used to Boston weather. Hee hee.

Last day of Winter Orientation later. Don't think I'm going though. They're going on a delightful field trip to Landmark Center. Some mall a few blocks down BU. Yay.

Anyway, body clock's still screwed up. Really sleepy come 8pm and wake up at around 4am, Boston time. That's 9am and 5pm respectively in Philippine time. Yay.

Think I'm gonna go spruce up my dorm room later. It's a bit small but not bad, I think. Haven't met my roommate though..

Yay.

Wee

First day of Winter Orientation was fine, despite the nonsense essay I wrote for the BU Writing Assessment, sucky ID picture, and the cold. The %$#@& cold.

Met some people from the College of Engineering. Seemed like a nice bunch. One of them was from Kazakhstan. Half expected him to go "Hi! My name a [name]!" But alas, he looks nothing like Borat and his fine friend Azamath. Been itching to ask his opinion of that fine documentary though..

'Listened' to some talks which brought me back to high school li shir class. Fun times. Fun times. Took a little tour of the campus and did some more exciting stuff. Really exciting stuff.

Wee.

First

First post, first day in Boston.. and I'm freezing my arse off. Despite El Niño and the relatively warm winter Boston is having, it's f***ing cold, wtf @#&*$% cold.

Bought a cap in sheer desperation to save my ears. Ahh, my numb fingers and hard nippies make me miss Manila -- Manila who is 13 hours into the future, Manila who harbors my heart, and Manila who has the nice and steamy weather. **Sigh**

Anyway, rode the T and took a sneak peak of Boston University before the official orientation tomorrow. Took in some sights but eventually surrendered to the cold, the f***ing @#&*$% cold.

Mmm Radisson Hotel, free internet, warm bed = paradise :D
