Makeshift ping pong table

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Ace and I are opposite when we talk about sports. I am not sportsminded while he is the opposite. He is good at anything that he plays even without proper training and practice. However, there’s one thing that we used to play before. When he’s visiting me in our hometown more than 8 years ago, we used to hang out in the parsonage and play table tennis or ping pong. It’s the only sport that I think I could play (aside from Volleyball that I almost failed ) though not so good but at least I could. When we went to Cebu, the young people in Downtown Church used to hang out at the church building every-single-day and again, we’re playing ping pong with a makeshift ping pong table. We used monobloc plastic chairs that served as the table’s legs then positioned on top of the chair is a plywood. The absense of a true ping pong table is not a hindrance for having a nice time playing with the fellow YP’s. But since the table is too high for me, I don’t play often not like when I was still in Kabacan. Now Downtown Church has a standard ping pong table that the young once and young ones could enjoy and we’re wishing that one day we’ll be able to play there with the same faces that used to play in that makeshift ping pong table more than 8 years ago.

EON account

Finally, Ace was able to apply for an EON account in Unionbank. We’ve been planning to go to Unionbank for his application months ago but we seem to always forget about it when we’re in downtown. And when we remember about it, the bank is already closed.  Now I insisted that he needs to open an account ASAP as he already reached the maximum sending limit which means, he cannot transfer his balance to mine. Since he didn’t go to work today as he personally declare today is his rest day (though he called for a sick leave), we purposely went to Victoria Plaza this afternoon for his application and after waiting for almost an hour, he was entertained and able to fill up the online application form. Now he will check with the bank on Saturday if his ATM card is already available and finally his paypal account will be verified using his EON account and will be able to withdraw his earnings. Thinking about having his own EON account now makes him excited.

Faucet

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

We’re staying in the apartment (should I say flat because we are occupying only one floor) for around 8 months already. During the first weeks, I really wanted to change the kitchen sink faucet and bath faucet because I don’t like the style. Ace said we need a wrench to be able to replace the faucets and we should buy a wrench first before we could be able to do what I wanted. Due to more important things to attend to, we already forgot about buying a wrench so the faucets that I am dreading to replace is still what we are using now. The kitchen faucet has been leaking and I am afraid it would come to worse as the gasket will finally give up. Hope Ace could find time to change the faucet…or else, I will do it on my own.

Stupid Questions

1. You are in an enclosed space with a group of friends. Elevator, auto, small room, etc.. You fart and it really stinks. Do you take credit for it or do you play along with the questioning of who did it?I’d shamefully admit that I fart (I think I’d faint!*lol*)

2. You are locked in a room sitting at a desk with just a piece of paper and a purple crayon. What do you draw?the usual things that I draw during my childhood, sun peeking behind the mountains, a small hut with flowers at the front and trees at the side yard with wooden fence around the lo. 

3. Do you ever pee in the shower?During shower? Yes, sometimes.

4. Have you bought, sold or got rid of something on Craigslist?haven’t tried it yet.

5. You are in a convenience store. In the line in front of you is a drunk guy trying to purchase more alcohol. The cashier tells him they cannot sell it to him because he is obviously already intoxicated. He gets belligerent. The cashier is scared. What do you do?Call the guard or police.

6. While shopping for produce, do you “sample” before you buy (i.e. grapes)?yes, if it’s allowed.

7. You are walking down the street and there is a toddler sitting on a bench by themselves in front of a store - do you just keep walking?stop and ask the toddler where is his/her parents. If the toddler needs help, then I would lend a hand.

8. Have you looked up an old friend and/or lover online?an old friend, yes.

9. You are nearly in a car/auto accident. Do you freak out, follow the person who nearly caused it & talk to them or just keep going?I would probably freak out but I should keep going. Afterall, nothing happened to me.
