greetings from metro cafe
November 11, 2006Yes, I am at an internet cafe. Quite a public one, too. I mean, some cafes do at least offer some sort of little privacy…you know, no people peeking over your back trying to read your blog entry??? (Hey, buzz off, buddy.)
I am, specifically, at Metro Cafe at the basement of Metro Ayala in Ayala Center Cebu. Hmm that was a long one and sounded painfully repetitive, but anyways. I was here earlier coz my sis and I treated the younger kids and my parents to lunch (my little sister got an academic award at school, so the big sisters have to treat…never had this when I was younger!). My plans for today were actually just to hang out at a cafe and write my manuscript — my uber-unfinished-revised-several-times-over fantasy novel(?) — but I had this urge to play Neopets, as I am currently participating in a plot, though I'm sure if you're not a Neopet player you would so NOT understand. When I got down here the computers were full, so I ordered a Cafe Mocha (which sucked, by the way! I swear, where the hell was the mocha in that thing??? And I paid 70 bucks for it!!!) and sat at a table to start revising (again!) my chapter one. Well, I've written 2 pages and there was an available computer so I decided to take a break and login to Neopets. I think I've got a sore neck from all that manual writing. Anyways, now I find I still cannot do anything with my Haunted Woods plot because the friggin' connection is intermittent and the browser's Flash plugin is so horribly outdated I keep getting error messages and my browser zonks out. BUt well since I've come online anyway I decided to just rant. So here I am ranting. By the way, I've changed my blog template/layout yet again (god why am i so restless with these things?) and for some reason am a little enamoured with monochromes and grays and sepias…hence the really gray look…and for some reason I can't understand my sidebar seems to have gone haywire again and have appended itself after the last post on the page…though it seemed OK when I edited it on Firefox last night, but I'm veiwing it in IE now…and it looks corrupted. *Sigh* I think I need to leave this place and go find a better cafe…one with a much more efficient Internet connection…and better-tasting cafe mocha!
