Ive been going to the bathroom more often than I want. Must be the fact that Ive been mixing orange juice and wine.
Ara is a great cook and we had Quiche and some red wine. Desert was this giant date from Morroco. Morrocan dates are vastly superior to the californian variant. Its bigger and much more succelent. Its hard to type here because for some strange reason the q and the A tabs are inverted!
I shot a lot of footages in the morning and the late afternoon. Went to NOTRE DAME in the evening and just loittered beside the river SIENNE.
While enjoying the sight I feel so anxious because my stomach has gone so french and have been farthing all the time.
We had dinner at this quaint but cool piano cafe called LE PETITE PONT
Had ESCARGOTS and a plate of PATHE. Never thought that a cuisine that is produced by shoving kernels of corn into a ducks mouth and then slaughtering the duck to get to the liver could taste so FUCKING GOOD!
Even tho FRENCH CUISINE is built on the torture of poultry animals,Im extremely impressed.For the main course I had some pepper steak sauced with giant black peppers.
Im drunk half the day but when I see half the population inebriated then it aint so bad.
Bought a book called CHASING DRAGONS which is basically about ASIAN THRASH CINEMA in the SHAKESPEARE BOOKSTORE which is some sort of landmark place because HEMMINGWAY picked up some floozie or something but Im not really sure because when the proprietess was telling me about it I already had my fifth glass of CHADORNEY
Weathers not as bad as my sister made it to be.Its cold enough to wear the trench coat on and sunny enough to have the sun glasses on too.
Spellings bad and the european keyboard is already pissing me off.Thats all for now!

We arrived in Paris around 7pm. The plane ride to Amsterdam was horrifying. I was seated behind a really fat caucasian man. He bends his seat all the way back and when he sits it bends even further. Pinning me from behind.I thought to myself that I was going to go insane at the prospect of enduring this for 12 hours.
The airline stewardess were really nice. Theyre big and very mqsculine. The antithesis of the asian version.But Id rather have them big , brawny and nice than petite small and nasty.
In previous trips I found filipino stewardeses as
snobbish and bitchy. I was pleasantly surprised that their europeqn counterpart is not the same.
That was further reinforced when I rode the connecting flight to paris. The stewardess kept running the food carriage on my foot and slamming it against my arm with not even a jot of apology.
Shes probably korean.
A DeBoaville met us at the airport. She was to be our guide. We rented a sun roofed puegot.We kept driving around in circles and couldnt find the exit point of the terminal. We ended in a highway to the south.
A DeBoaville: Sorry about that. I have my cataract on and cant see a thing.
Flim: First trip to Paris and our guide has cataracts, how very french. I love it!

I checked out the remodeling on the house we were going to live in. As I staggered amongst the construction materials, I had the urge to go take a leak. I stepped on one of the hollow blocks and it broke in two.
SHIT! DON’T TELL ME I GOT FATTER! THAT’S INCONCIEVABLE! Made a mental note to really go on a diet but suddenly I thought…
I then grabbed another hollow block and held it with both hands.
And I squeezed.
It crumbled into tiny fragments.
I have become..NIETSCHE’S WET DREAM!
I AM THE UBERSCMETZ!
And we have a very big problem!

CECILE: “My bathroom will be in different shades of green. I love green. Green is relaxing. And I would have small areas of white. It will enhance the green. What do you think? “
FLIM: “It’s your bathroom.”
CECILE: “And the master’s bedroom is going to be in a darker shade of green. With white accents.”
FLIM:”Kinda like the Amazon basin.”
CECILE: “And your work area and viewing room WILL be in dark blue. Then some light brown wood furnishing.”
FLIM:” Hmmm sounds very cosmopolitan.”
CECILE: “and your bathroom color will be….
FLIM:” BLACK! “
CECILE: “A black bathroom? That’s strange.”
FLIM: “I want it all in black! “
CECILE: “Why? “
FLIM: “So my crap would stand out like an asteroid floating in the deep sea of space. Then when I flush it would get sucked in by this black hole.”
CECILE: “You’re really sick.”
FLIM: “Nah, my aunt has a black bathroom and black dressing room. Saw it when I was a kid and it was so pristine and looked very solemn. Never did see a bathroom like that ever again. I believe that a bathroom should be like that. It should be solemn like a church.
Taking a crap is like a religious experience and should be done in hollowed ground. So yes I will have my bathroom in black. Black toilet seats and a black bathtub.”
CECILE: “ No the bathtub should be white. There should be accents.Something totally black is going to be dull. Even your motorcycle isn’t all black. It has accents.”
FLIM: “ DAMN WOMAN, you are right. It does have silver accents. So let it be written and so let it be done! “

It’s been a week of packing things. Moving boxes! Cardboard boxes! BOXES! BOXES! BOXES! THIS CAN'T FIT! THIS IS TOO BIG! I hate moving. It’s not the place we are moving to because it is a very nice place. There are lots of trees and some semblance of plant life. Which is more than I can say with the place we are presently in.
That's one of the primary reasons why Cess wanted to move. There's no fresh air here. But then again is there any in manila?
And I can actually hear crickets chirping at night in the new place. CRICKETS! FROG SOUNDS! Not the hum and shrieking noise of jeeps and cars. Or the screams and loud chatter of ciggie vendors and delivery boys.
It’s just that packing has always been a bitch! Unpacking is fun but packing aint. When I go abroad I always postponed packing up until the eleventh hour. Everyone bugs me about it. That I should start preparing a week in advance. Yeah I know that’s the logical thing to do but if I did do that I have a tendency of over packing.
I’d pack three reading materials to read in the airport, in the plane, in the waiting area, in the drive to the hotel, in the hotel lobby and inside the hotel room. I’d pack too much clothes which I would end up not using anyway.
So when I get back and look at the stuff that I didn’t get to use I’d just bitch about it and complain about how I had to lug that big heavy suitcase, stuffed to the brim with things I didn’t wear.
But when I pack at the eleventh hour, I’m forced to just take the bare essentials. So I end up with a lighter bag. If I do run out of shirts I can always buy that in the place I’m in.
Now I’m packing again. And this time it’s for a place transfer which is even worse than packing for traveling.
As we move out stuff I thought that the house we are leaving would get bigger. Instead it got smaller and smaller. Because of the boxes! Everyday Cess gets more boxes to load stuff in.
I cant even get to the dinning area without contorting my body to obscene positions. I’m completely boxed in
