bods1000 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Spongebobby and Augustmoon... share nyo rin your experiences in the wine shops you visited!!! Honestly from what I read on this thread (dont consider what i post as this is all irreverent and jabber) I have a better appreciation of my time when i visit wine shops. I go through each label, engage the shop owner with some talk or go through the shops tasting notes. boy, i really could use a drink today.. just had a meeting with our bankers... as as they say.. if you owe a bank 100thousand, you are worried and you cant sleep!!! if you owe a bank 100million, your bankers are worried and they cant sleep!!! (puyat na puyat na ang bankers namin!!!!) have a great weekend!!! i hope to expect wine reports from you!!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> pare you did it ah!multi-quote na yan i hope you had a good time - bawi ako sa susunod..

bods1000 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hi Guru(s).. Silent...but learning more and more about wines. I've been in wine shops for the past two days now trying to learn as much as I can... to be worthy of being part of this forum.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> silent...for now, pero pagdating ng araw baka mas deadly ka pa sa amin regarding wines you are a part of this forum, but good luck just the same with your vineducation...... ako rin, am lurking and reading without posting lang. as i always say, ang alam ko lang sa wines is red, white, and blue (nun). am just trying to absorb everything...like a sponge. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...you should try to learn how to absorb alcohol para you can join us na in the near future Quote Link to comment
masi Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 pare you did it ah!multi-quote na yan i hope you had a good time - bawi ako sa susunod..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i think when after your bankers drained your mental juice and waiting for the drinking hour, you tend to tinker with anything. Yesterday, after my meeting, it was the keyboard. sometimes, is it still polite to say, "it's the economy, stu*id!" to people who think they know everything in your business?!!! the ghost and i had much to talk about, which means glen was left standing up ... johnny is complaining the he's been singled-out as last night's "wallflower". have a good long weekend!

(now, i'm being mean! :thumbsdownsmiley: ) i have stopped writing... for no apparent reason kuno! (see pens thread. OT na ako dito, matagal na!)i still claim that my best writings came in my happiest moments... the wifey keeps a scrap book! when i drink.. i try to release all inhibitions (but still keeping self respect) and unveil a true person petrified by years of a pretentious corporate layering. :grr: i will not be kaka, ang-tv and bad... from now i will behave :hypocritesmiley: ... there are others on this thread too you know have a good one.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hahaha I bet Mrs. Masi looks beautiful doing that neck twist-handless hair flicking too! rhodium is a precious metal of the platinum group, same with iridium and other -iums ... usually used as an in-lay (not got laid!!) in nibs (that's a b not a p!!) of fountain pens....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>It is in the barrel of every Waterman pen! Haha my my aside fron deaf people in this thread eh marami din palang malabo ang mata!

I capped the night with some Frank, Barbra singing Legrand and Jack plus a very special Opus One-lover. Now I have a really nasty cold! Naka saplot naman ako buong gabi. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment

I think the ritual ended when she reached her 40s... hehehehe. Besides, her hair is short now which makes each and every red lionblood cell in me roar and stomp that i am the king of mendiola... este the jungle, pala! A cold... hmmm. must be the exchange of the body fluids! ... I meant the body of the red wine, jack, johnny and st. miguel (those liquids)... not to mention the opus (hmmm, also liquid! :evil:) ....

I kinda miss it - isang beses pa lang natin natikman yun, pards... have a good, long, sober weekend! Quote Link to comment

All I've had is a surfeit of music from my antique phonogram and the ever-reliable vinyl...... This is no one-night stand it's a real occasion.Close your eyes and you'll be there.It's everything they say.The end of a perfect day,Distant lights from across the bay. Quote Link to comment
bods1000 Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 Exactly a year ago today, if someone had told me that a thread with such an obscure topic would reach almost 200 pages in one year, I would have pressed my face close to his and muttered that maybe you have been drinking a lot of bad wines. But somehow it has inserted itself into the consciousness of fellow geeks and non-geeks to the point that it has become gasp! ... quite a popular thread, or so I think hehe. If I persist in the illusion of being a knowledgable wine afficionado, it is only with the intent of sharing the magic that wine has given me. It is with my humble apology that in obeying the "inscrutable exhortations of my soul", I have dragged all of you down this unending spiral of wine geekiness. cheers, and many thanks!

Summer Me, Winter Me - Bergman/Bergman/Legrand- Summer me, winter meAnd with your kissesMorning me, evening meAnd as the world slipsFar away, star awayForever me with love Wonder me, wander meThen by a firePleasure me, peaceful meAnd in the silenceQuietly, whisper meForever me with love Forever me with loveAnd every day I'llGentle you, tender youAnd oh, the way I'llVelvet you, clover youI'll wrap you up andRibbon you, rainbow youAnd shower you with shine! Suddenly, magicallyWe found each otherThere we were, here we areI plan to let youHappy me, summer meWinter me, always be mine! Ahhhh yes, that phrase "pleasure me, peaceful me" just stands out ... be it vino or love it is all good! Cheers! :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

augustmoon Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi to ALL...this loooong totally useless four day vacation (buti pa Holy week) is making my brain cells degenerate. I have not made any progress in my pursuit of becomng an authority of wines. I have not even managed to acquire a tongue for it. All theoretical stuff. But I am getting there. Regards to all Quote Link to comment
