Free Time

Quite obvious. I got tired of fiddling with my Facebook account, watching old episodes of "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations", and basically waiting every f****ing two hours to light a cigarette.

I am officially bored.

It's only now that I am having regrets about resigning from my not-that-bad-paying job and deciding to take a break. I mean, what the hell was I thinking? It's a f****ing recession and I voluntarily quit my job. I guess it only proves that I'm just a smart mouth and not that intellectually sharp.

The upside I guess is that I had the luxury of time to learn new things. Like making a blow-your-mind beef stir fry and some tofu dishes which, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have the time to indulge myself in. No, I'm not a vegan, not trying to be and never will. I just found that I could actually eat non-meat products out of boredom and curiosity. See, something good came about from being unemployed for two weeks now. Thanks to Kylie Kwong.

Three more hours and I will be meeting some friends for dinner. It's our friend Ana's birthday today. We are having japanese tonight. A good breather from the usual chinese and italian food that i prepare every day. I need to eat something raw for a change!

Anthony Bourdain. Hmmmm...fingers tapping on the table. Interesting fellow. It's good to know that there's another bad-ass chef other than that Hell's Kitchen insane mentor-chef! The good thing about Bourdain is that he's a fan of the Ramones and that he's got tatoos! One by Chris Garver even. Wild! Now I can reconcile my love for Miami Ink with my love for travel shows. Cool.

Maybe tomorrow I wouldn't be too lazy to go to the bookshop and buy a Bourdain book. It's either that or I would be sleeping the whole day tomorrow from too much drinking which I will be doing tonight. Hell, I have all the time...I even have time to write this freakin' blog.
