I know this was posted on my Facebook a while ago but I've been really busy now that I'm back in Vancouver and I'm suffering from standard blogger guilt for not posting in a while so I'm gonna be lazy and re-hash.
So my parents visited me this weekend for graduation and I totally forgot what its like to live with them. This was compounded by the fact that all three of us had to live in my tiny studio apartment for four days. As me and my dad waited for my mom's plane to arrive we had this gem of a discussion.
-----Rob exits the bathroom to see dad rummaging through his underwear drawer-----
Rob: Dad, what the hell...
Dad: You only have boxers in here Robert, briefs are better.
Rob: I appreciate the concern dad, but I prefer boxers thanks.
Dad: No! Briefs are better...
-----Dad then unbuckles his belt, drops his pants to his knees and points to his groin-----
Dad: ...see?
Rob: Dad, I'm going to turn around, go back into the washroom and when I come out I expect your to have your pants back on.
Dad: But briefs have better support!
The competition between boxers and briefs is now done. Taking your pants off in front of your son and pointing to your crotch is a definite violation of the rules. The ref is standing on the sidelines blowing the whistle and boxers win by default. For some reason this reminds me of the time Mike head butted a girl in a fencing competition. Black card dad...BLACK CARD.

2009 can't come sooner!
Looking forward, there are a few amazing things on the horizon that I just can't wait for. As a matter of fact, if I had a choice I'd miss Christmas and New Years altogether just to get my grubby hands on these things even a week earlier.
Flight of the Conchords: Season 2
Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5
The Watchmen (Movie)
The Boondocks: Season 3
Supposedly coming in January 2009. I couldn't find a video but if this is true, oh man I'm stoked.
Barack Obama's Inauguration
Which I'm going to in DC come hell or high water.

Pambansang Kamao! ("National Fist")
What a great night. Oilers won (for Jas), the Sens won (for Graham) and Manny Pacquiao beat the living snot out of De La Hoya (for the Philippines). Tons of respect to the 'Golden Boy' but man, nothing felt better than walking up to a table of Filipinos at the bar and high-fiving, drinking and dancing with people I've never met. I'm sure this happens to tons of other people in countries that actually have sports teams (I'm reminded of my ESL students back in Vancouver during World Cup) but for us Filipinos, this is pretty monumental, and hell I'm not even that much into sports.
Edit: This news story was absolutely hilarious. Zero crime rate in metro-Manila for some of his previous fights? If nothing else, than for the sake of the over-burdened police force in the Philippines, lets have more Pacquiao fights.
