Holiday Gift Guide: Pizza Hut Perfume
Who doesn’t want to smell like a Super Supreme or a Meat Lovers? Not for you? Then how about the vegetarian scent of Garden Fresh or a Veggie Lovers. Damn, aren’t you already drooling hearing the names of Pizza Hut pizzas?
That’s the basic attraction of the Pizza Hut Perfume. This is another quirky but real gift available in Canada, and it’s in high demand, making this a rare gift indeed.
If you’re on a budget, you could do this alternative. Get Pizza Hut carryout of your favorite pizza pies. Then drive around with your pies, windows rolled up. Better yet, get stuck in afternoon traffic with them. After a one-hour commute, both you and your car’s interior will have that unmistakable Pizza Hut smell that lingers and lingers.
Mariah Carey & (Justin Bieber, Jimmy Fallon)
Who has the better collaboration with Mariah Carey on her holiday hit, All I Want for Christmas Is You. Is it Justin Bieber or Jimmy Fallon?
Justin Bieber
Jimmy Fallon
I’m thinking Jimmy playing a wood block has my nod. And is that a Fisher Price xylophone on wheels?
My Be Like Barack Mini-vacation
Remember back in 2008 when Barack Obama vacationed in Hawaii? Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I had a “Be Like Barack Vacation” on a very miniscule scale. The day started early, picking up passengers, but we forwent the speeches due to the continued drowsiness of turkey’s tryptophan. Then our two-car caravan headed north to Laniakea Beach to see turtles.
Meals weren’t from the cuisine of Alan Wong’s but from the homestyle goodness of Paalaa Kai Bakery. I’d highly recommend the Snow Puffy.
Overpriced movies aren’t just at Ward, they’re everywhere though Wreck It Ralph was a great flick so I didn’t necessarily mind forking out $30. Hey, wait, what? Large bags of popcorn get free refills?!
There was no physical activity like working out, bodysurfing, shooting hoops, or golfing, but that didn’t stop us from getting a shave ice fix. Matsumoto’s was packed so next-door Aoki’s it was. The Sour Pucker was mine.
During our mini-vacation, there were no swanky dinners for us, but I thought the signage on the McDonalds was swankily cool.
So there’s my “Be Like Barack” eight-day vacation crammed into one weekend.
Adobo Dishes Must Not Photograph Well
It just must be that adobo dishes just don’t photograph well, and that’s why adobo spices don’t showcase finished dishes. Exhibit 1 is Noh’s racy Filipino Adobo Mix. Here is Exhibit 2, Mid Pac Foods Filipino Adobo Sauce.
Note the neighboring bottles that show pictures of char siu, spare ribs, and shoyu chicken. But no picture of pork or chicken adobo.
“For all intensive purposes…”
Hold up, did I just see that phrase used seriously? Seriously?! “For all intensive purposes” – you know you’re in trouble when the Urban Dictionary has a definition.
Nonsense, it means nothing. Its what people say when they really mean to say “for all intents and purposes”.
Should I even care this erroneous phrase was used? It’s just a mute point right? 😉
Confidence Is…
Since @abaggy is temporarily out of the loop, there’s no one to mancrush on. So instead, I’m turning my attention to someone else I’ll call Q-chi. What’s so great about Q-chi? It’s his confidence. He’s so confident that he leaves his classic iPod on his desk in plain sight even when he’s not around.
This shows that he’s confident with the security in the workplace, knowing no one will steal his prize. Or, he exudes confidence that no one will ridicule his use of this archaic iPod. But hey, who am I to talk? I still rock my old fat iPod Nano and Klondike!
Winter Oreos
The permutations of Oreo cookies are seemingly endless. The newest variation I’ve seen include red Winter and Candy Cane Oreos.
I wonder how these cookies would taste paired with a hot instant Oreo latte?
How Do You Stir Your Morning Coffee?
After a day of continuous eating and giving thanks followed by a night of Black Friday (online) shopping and story watching, there is only one way to stir your morning coffee – with a Twinkie.
Kamehameha Highway Decorated No More
Back in March 2011, I was enthralled with the newly decorated Kamehameha Highway in the Pearl City area. Only this week, my obtuse power of observation noticed that all the decorations are gone. I don’t know when it exactly happened, but I kinda miss the garish display.
Abercrombie & Fitch Gone Twilight?
Is it me or does the latest Abercrombie & Fitch entryway billboard remind you of Twilight? Seems like I’ve seen Edward and Bella in a smilar pose in that field. In fact, doesn’t the female’s outfit remind you of Bella’s fashion in Forks?
Or maybe it’s just pure coincidence with the timing of the final Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn Part 2. This won’t be a first time for one of these “coincidences.”
My Twinkies Advent Calendar
I have a new advent calendar this year, thanks to the prospective demise of Hostess.
Enjoy one golden sponge cake each and every day of December leading up to Christmas. Who needs Christmas with a Twinkie a day? Wonder if these Twinkies advent calendars would sell on eBay?
