Horchatas in August & Leeroy New.

August 17, 2010 |

Today, I had lunch with Raymond, but first! I dropped by the AMP bench to see if I still knew people. I was pretty certain that I would feel like a lola when I got there, but alas! People I still knew. I think I will make it a point to drop by and befriend lowerclassmen just so I will be able to sit with them in case I need to drop by Ateneo in the future.


This is a horrible photo, but it’s the only one I have of people at the bench.

Then, then, then! I have heard of this famed drink being sold in school. So, I have always thought, “I MUST TRY IT!” But I never really go to school, but I did today. Anyway! It’s really good. I think I want to drink it forever. (Play the song to find out what it is!)

(LOLJK. I have apparently put a clue (i.e., the actual answer) as the post title.)

Then, we looked at Leeroy New’s installation. He was pretty excited about it, but I’ve only gotten to see it now. Franny has a blog post of when he was still setting up. The piece is called “Balete.”


Look, a bug!

Also in this post, loot from his recent trip to Singapore: Rhodia notebook (LOL he bought a lot and said he didn’t like the paper, so he gave me one), MUJI notebook (!), and Battlestar Galactica postcards.

He also returned my copy of Jonathan Safran Foer’s “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” and on the way home, I was re-reading the parts that I had highlighted, and this one is pretty relevant to me right now:

“I think about all of the things I’ve done, Oskar. And all of the things I didn’t do. The mistakes I’ve made are dead to me. But I can’t take back the things I never did.”

You might be on to something, Universe.

P.S. In case you are a proper geek and want to see the BSG postcards up close, pictures are under the cut. :)

    Isabee, my BFF in the entire world, yes! I forgot what stall, but it’s near the side by Matteo. We can go on a date, you know. LIKE THE ONE YOU WENT ON WITH BARBY AND DIDN’T INVITE ME TO.

  3. Clark says:

    I like your new design :)

  4. Carina says:

    Clark, thank you so much! :)

  5. Barby says:

    <3 Horchata! :D HEY, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SHE ONE-ON-ONE DATES WITH.

    What a good idea though, let's go out on a date too. :*

  6. Jansci says:

    I suppose the Universe you’re talking about is similar to mine cos those lines are just spot on. Okay now I’m completely and utterly convinced to purchase Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close even though I still have a thousand of books waiting to be read.

    And uh, *Horchatas* I’ll be watching Vampire Weekend in October. Hee. :3

  7. Carina says:

    Barby, other BFF in the entire world, suuuuure. Haha! OK let’s :)

    Jansci, a lot of people hate it because it uses a lot of ‘gimmicks’ and kind of manipulates you into feeling sad (haha) but I dig it a lot. It’s also pretty easy to go through. At least, it was for me. Wow, Singapore? I’m trying to get my hands on tickets, too.

  11. Reese says:

  12. Carina says:

    Paulina, wow, so many comments. HAHA. Thank you! <3 Do it, go lang. What are you Etsy-ing?

    Reese, haha oooor I could go to your launch? Haha I hope we don’t have a lot to do for work on that day.

  13. Helga says:

    I want horchataaaaaaaa!!! When I read the title, I actually thought you were, like, going to Singapore for the VW gig lol.

  14. Carina says:

    Helga, Hahaha I’m hoping to do just that, actually. I’ll take a pay-cut if I have to.
