First Evil

Can't say I am a regular but I've been to Kiplings-Mandarin four times already. One of its waitresses is even a friend.

One of my favorite songs happens to be "Maybe I'm A Leo" of Deep Purple, the lyrics of which were written by Ian Gillan, a Leo himself.

Why do I like that song even if it happens to be a poor effort by that band. Simple, it is because I am Leo myself, born on July 23.

I remember a scene in the full-length animation movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", there was a scene where a character asks Jessica Rabbit what she saw in Roger Rabbit. And Jessica Rabbit says very sexily and throatily, "He makes me laugh".

So there perhaps lies one of the answers to the question why beautiful women fall for ugly men. Humor.

We have a chihuahua couple "Santi" and "Lucie" and their five offspring: George, Dutchie, Beyonce, and two others who names escape me at the moment. Buntis na naman si "Lucie". We also have the puppies' daschund uncle "Jessie". And then an assorted number of cats, the most adventurous is the one whom our domestic staff call "Basahan".

Tapos sa fishpond, we have a lot of fish and two turtles. The big one has red eyes.

Me, my mother raised us on Coca Cola Classic. Having been diagnosed as a borderline diabetic, I learned to like the taste of Diet Coke before. Now, I always order Coke Light and always have it in the fridge. I do drink Pepsi Cola and its variants from time to time, especially Pepsi Max.

The bottom line though, as between Coke or Pepsi, it will have to be Coke.
