Taking some more baby steps towards blogging actively again - now blogging everything I do haha.Well, it's better than nothing right? Ok so let me write something about our day at the dentist' clinic. The picture on the left shows my sister and I nervously waiting for our turn on the dentist' chair. Ok, not gonna lie. It was just me who was very nervous.I have feared dentists ever since I was

This post, also known as my baby steps towards blogging actively again haha.So I saw this thing inside SM North Edsa's Fully Booked and look at what's inside:All seven books, in one real chest. Although it's just cardboard, it still sturdy and hard enough to carry these J.K. Rowling hardbounds (Did you notice how Ms. Rowling seemed to have had a grand time writing the last four books?

We're spending the night here at MMLDC Antipolo. It's our department's team building/strat plan, and we'll be here until tomorrow afternoon. It's my first out-of-office activity with this group since, you know, I'm last year's new guy (new girl came in a week after I did though so my newbie privilege, if there's any, vanished quickly haha).So yeah, we had the usual team building things like

I must do this before the last day of January ends.You see every year, I revive my blogging interest every 14th of January. That's my birthday. This year, I just let it pass by. I blame the microblogs like the Twitters and the Tumblrs. Those made my attention span at its record-breaking shortest. In fact, sometimes, when I read things on the Internet, I just skim the first two or three sentences

This could be the place. It's called Chic-Boy, which stands for Chicken at Baboy. Like me, you must have seen this before while, maybe passing along Jupiter St. in Makati, deciding whether to go to Music 21, TopGrill or CenterStage. Haha. Anyway, I never really paid attention to this food place. I thought it's something... not serious. But then Jake and Anj tried it and they've been recommending

I should write more.I've had several jobs in my life and all of them involved writing, though in varying degrees. I have been given many titles and positions throughout my career but still, I consider myself basically a writer.I did not call myself that right away, however. Realistically, I am not a perfect writer. Read through this blog and you'll find numerous grammar lapses and countless

I remember having a conversation with friends about our government not giving much importance to "branding" and identities. While other countries have modernized the logos of their government offices, we're stuck to the traditional, obviously 'gobyerno' looking ones. Good thing there are private entities that use modern design to strengthen the Philippine/Filipino identity and to make it modern

I was in the province the entire weekend. I was still in the province when the heavy Manila rain poured Sunday afternoon. And so when we got into our apartment Monday morning, the smell of wet (and kulob) paper, rags, floor vinyl and just about anything else that touches the floor, well, floored me.These are some of my books - among the lucky ones that wasn't dripping wet after that unfortunate

Yes our office has this rule, a very heartless rule. You don't submit your daily time record, you don't get paid. Needless to say, I forgot to submit mine. And most of the cash I had, had to go to this institution called Sun Life. And of course there's rent. But hey, they're parts of my life as a responsible adult. But having missed DTR submission is very irresponsible haha.And for Friday night,

Photo from Star Cinema's official MutilpyBecause I'm such a big fan of Asia's horror cinema, heh, the new local horror Cinco got me very excited. Never mind that the last one Star Cinema produced, Villa Estrella, had my friends berating me for talking them into spending their time and money on the film. I watched Cinco with Edson and Tarra, the same guys who watched Villa Estrella with me and of

I can’t believe I haven’t written about this. Anyway, this blog entry certifies that I, like you, your friends, and your friend’s friends, have taken the Max’s Chicken-All-You-Can challenge.The first time I saw the promo poster on Facebook, I know they created this promo for me.

This is the latest satellite image from the official website of PAGASA - the Philippines' official weather bureau. I don't know if I'm interpreting it correctly, but I think that green phlegm-like things scattered all over the country are the winds, with water. I don't know. Haha. All I know is that we might be having problems with regards to weather forecasting in this country, and how

Thanks to Gloria Arroyo’s holiday economics, one of her legacies that made me genuinely and sincerely pleased, I was able to go home once again to our province up north last weekend. And as usual, this post is not a travel log. During the rare occasions when I’m in my one real home, I’m more than happy just spending time inside the house with my parents, eating Ilocano vegetable dishes or having

Have you heard about Diliman Republic? It's the new UP shirt "brand" now available at the UP Shopping Center and also online. When I knew about DR via their Facebook ads, I got excited about it because for a long time, we have been getting our UP shirts only from the Maroons shop, and occasionally, from Universidad (who does shirts, bacg, etc. for other universities and colleges too).And let's

I admit. I haven't been watching American Idol lately. That's new to me cause prior to this season, I never missed an episode since season 3. Haha. It was only yesterday when I realized we're merely days from the season 9 finale. So I turned to Youtube to catch a glimpse of the performances I missed (which is practically the entire season). And while I was browsing, Youtube recommended the clip

Told you I can catch up. Hahaha.I cheated with this one. My march book is Twisted 8 1/2 by Jessica Zafra. 1/2 because it's smaller compared to any book in the series, and it also is thinner. But of course, you already know that. I finished this book in less than half a day. And it's not because of this book's economy class size. It's always easy reading a Twisted book because it's just like

All these talks about the end of the world (I'm talking about the scientific ones, the Mayan 2012 apocalyptic prophecy included) have one thing in common - this Earth is going to blow any day now if it gets hotter and hotter, and that's exactly what's happening. According to studies, every summer we are experiencing now is hotter than the summer before it. So imagine how hot it's going to be come

There was a time when EDSA didn't mean horrendous traffic, monster buses or packed trains. There was a time when EDSA meant People Power - a moment of pride, the greatest story the eighties has ever seen. I wasn't there when it happened, I was too young, and far away. I've learned about EDSA first from my relatives who regularly play the Handog Ng Pilipino Sa Mundo vinyl, and second, from the

Had a great great time with college Journ-mates Red, Tarra, Carmela and Jeco (+ Aileen) at the College of Music Auditorium last night. The LOL-fest was brought about by LIVE AIDS (Ang Istoryang Dinebelop ng Samaskom), staged annually by the organization UP SAMASKOM - very talented bunch. If you're CMC-bound next school year, watch out for them. They're everywhere so you can't possibly miss them.

When inside a mall, any mall, I’m happiest when I’m in the record bar. That’s why you can never lose me inside a mall. If I happen to vanish at any time, you can find me in the record like it’s a lost and found counter for myself.In college, I wanted to work for Odyssey, part time (in addition to my many other jobs).

Tomorrow, when we wake up, there'll be no more MTV Philippines.Call me shallow. Or even OA. But this is the first time that I'm affected by the demise of a TV channel. I've been monitoring it the whole day, and there is indeed a scrolling text below that today is the last broadcast day for the music channel. What makes it worse is that there are no explanations why. And worse than worse, there

Did you notice? I think this Valentine's Day being in the same day as Chinese New Year made everybody so confused. Not that I went out today and saw confusion, haha. I stayed home because I feel sick until this very minute. (I remember being on sick leave too during Valentine's last year. It's a tradition haha). See, the TV shows can't decide whether to come up with Valentine's Day specials or

The cover made sure I see the disclaimer: ADVANCE UNCORRECTED PROOF - NOT FOR RESALE. At first I thought, "How exciting! It's just like proofreading Hornby!". But then I thought, "What If Hornby changed the ending in the final proof?". Besides, am I not doing too much proofreading at work already? Haha. But anyway, I still read it.SLAM by Nick Hornby easily became one of my favorite books. It

A few days ago, we were just laying out our New Year's Resolutions, and now we're slowly realizing that some of them aren't just too realistic, and so we do away with the list altogether.But January 2010 was one of the most Januaries

A little late, I know, but I have to do this. LOL.What am I about to tell you is 100% true. I've lost track of my age.

It's here boys and girls. Nine days to go before our annual TV obsession. This... is American Idol. Catch the premiere episode on Star World if you have cable or QTV if you love free TV. I'm not sure of the times yet, but let us pray that just like in the previous years, they'll air the episodes twice a night, and once again during the weekend (I heard Star World airs the episodes more times that

2009 wasn't a very good year, personally. It was a year of anxiety,heartbreak, frustration, loneliness and uncertainty. For the firsttime in many years, I felt helpless and I thought there is nothingmore I can do. Still I chose to put on a happy and positive faceeveryday, suffering in silence, while I send out cries for help informs of cryptic messages and subtle signals.Luckily for me, 2009

Right now, I am in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya. In a few hours, I will be home.My trip began at 9:50 last night. I nearly lost it when the dispatchersaid my bus had already left. I asked him repeatedly and he said thesame thing. When I asked, why on earth has the 9:50 bus left when bus9:45 was still there, we both knew he was talking about 9:15. So bigrelief for me. Never been left by a bus before.On

Tomorrow, I'm coming back home to Isabela.It's been a while since I last set foot on my hometown. The last time I was there was 3 weeks ago. Hahaha. Seriously, I cannot wait to be back home for the second time this month. Never mind that the bus trip could take as long as 12 hours, ten if you're lucky. Getting off that bus, stepping on the provincial soil and filling your lungs with fresh clean

Live blogging here at Starbucks Insular Life. Heehee.Here's our webcam picture, ten years after we claimed our UP 99-XXXXX student numbers. We're also with our honorary blockmates Pol and Thea. We are so fascinated with New Yorker Gidget's stories about her (secret) wild life in the big city, although Edson and I think she's had enough training climbing walls and doing Prison Break-type escapes

We went to UP this morning to hear the 8am mass - Tatay, Nanay, my sister and myself. My father particularly likes hearing mass at UP's big dome, for 2 reasons: 1) Whenever we attend mass, the priest's homily will always always always be swak to our current situation. So it's like we're having our own family's spiritual advisor; and 2) This is the one of the two churches where he made "habilin"

Yes, in the day and age of the convenience of microblogs and the guaranteed audience of social networking sites, I have declared my unwavering loyalty to blogspot.

When Tatay arrived here from the province Saturday morning, the first item in his itinerary was to go to SM to look for the Manny Pacquiao issue of Time Magazine.We went to National Bookstore right after lunch, and we were a tad disappointed that the only issues on display were the California and Sushi ones.Right when we were about to leave the place, we saw the Time Magazine delivery guy

So I repeated "Yung 50 po, SM lang."He did not answer.Losing my patience, I said again, "Yung P50 po, SM lang."And then he said, "P50 ang pamasahe hanggang SM."I realized he was right.

It is on. The last time we witnessed a war this cutthroat was more than 3 years ago when the non-soda drinks made an uprising against the ruling colas. That time, it was C2 Green Tea who reigned supreme. This year, the battleground has moved to the tuna shelves. First, there was San Marino Corned Tuna, which, according to Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, is 1) basically tuna, that tastes like

Since Yahoo is closing down geocities soon, I went to my geocities sites to check if there's anything there worth saving. I saw this article I wrote in one of our writing classes in college. Even then, I have the talent in writing "in-depth" articles. LOL!

Tonight we anxiously (is that even the right word?) wait for this next typhoon called Pepeng. Unlike Ondoy, Pepeng is like this big celebrity with a very good PR team behind. Early as Thursday, he's been building hype, fueled by the media, and of course, the obsessive monitoring of us social networking mainstays.I am praying hard for the typhoon the just vanish. Especially if he's really as

I posted the old Romania typhoon picture below (see previous post), not expecting that the post-storm weeping would soon come closer to home.Just like everyone else, that Saturday morning for me was just one regular weekend. It wasn't even raining when the day began. My brother and my sister even went to work, while I chose to indulge in some extra hours of weekend morning sleep.And when I

I was cleaning up my browser bookmarks this morning and I found one link that's more than two years old already. It links to MSNBC.com's 2006 year-end photo essay, and it includes the photo above.I remember seeing this picture for the first time and it did make me a little tearful. A little. Haha.

Hi UPJC friends. Let's crash this. Well, we are all invited but crashing is much more fun to say than, say, attending. Cause 'attending' makes it sound like it's a chore or an obligation.

Oh and hit me like a hurricane when you left me. But I'd do it all again for you. I'd walk a thousand miles on broken glass. It won't stop me from making my way back to you. It's not real until you feel the pain. And nothing ever hurt like you.

It used to be that when we hear Yellow Pages, we imagine those bulky books we use as bookshelf fillers, bookends, paperweight, tinapa wrapper or confetti (tip for better confetti: shred the yellow pages first before throwing them up in the air.)But now, the iconic yellow pages has just turned E.

Kuya Pasky became a bearer of good news today. Not just any good news, but THE Good News. Haha.

Gloria Arroyo has just been sworn in, and in her message, she vowed to practice leadership by example.And so in light of the great page 6-worthy Le Cirque scandal, Hyatt and I followed the great example of Mrs. Arroyo, and dined beyond our means.We were just wandering around the very anti-SM environment of Greenbelt 5 when hunger struck us.

I've heard and read a lot of good things about Pepper Lunch. So when Nalyn invited me to come try it out, I did. Actually, she didn't plan it too. It was that traffic was so bad that time, and the very car-less Estrella detour to Rockwell was just too inviting.And so we went straight to Pepper Lunch upon descending at Powerplant. Because I know nothing about dining beyond P100.00, I let Nalyn do

Lately, it has been so much harder to decide on what to wear. Not because I have lots of clothes and I’m having a hard time to choose. It’s because I do not know if it’s gonna be rainy or sunny. We only have two seasons, but the weather’s becoming as unpredictable as, say, the next secret on Post Secret. (I’m joking.

I recently discovered Tumblr, thanks to Larry. As I see it, It is like a multimedia blog, where you can say something without the need to write long texts. At tumblr, you can keep track of the updates on all the tumblogs you follow in one page (like Twitter, or Facebook's News Feed). Plus, the re-blog function of tumblr makes it easy for everyone to share blog posts.So when I'm not busy here, I

I can't remember how I got to the page. I think it's because of Elijah's tweet. Or maybe I found a link on PEP.PH. Haha. Exploring the site, I found out that this is already a revamped version.

There's a lesson here. Do not EVER put off buying the album you like, because one day, they're gonna stop producing this CD. And then you're going to spend your days hunting for this CD in every record store you see, until you have no choice but to buy it from an Ebay seller (price x 2) who, years ago, was smart enough to do something you didn't - he bought the CD.This happened to me, but it

The driver is always on [1]The driver has the right to be noisy the whole trip through his two-way radio [A]. Through this radio, he gets traffic advisories and updates on whereabouts of mmda traffic enforcers (or in driver vocabulary, double mike, or sometimes, buwaya). He may also use this to tell other drivers (and make parinig) that someone hasn't given his/her bayad yet.If driver is not busy

June 12, 1999, Araw ng Kalayaan, was my first day at the Kalayaan Residence Hall in UP Diliman. True.Getting into that dorm wasn’t easy. Having only a few rooms available, compared to the number of incoming freshman from all the country’s islands, I had to pray my hardest and pull some available strings (wink wink). I remember riding the bus to my uncle’s Novaliches home after being turned down

They moved faster than the A (H1N1). The spread of the Hayden-[insert woman’s name here] sex videos is one real pandemic.But of all the women dragged into this mess, It was Katrina Halili who took most of the blows (No I’m not gonna say no pun intended here, cause that is so 1990s, lol). When the Careless Whispers videos came out, everyone was simply on Alert Level 1 – meh, doesn’t she do that on

This is how I go to work almost everyday. Almost, because sometimes, I try to predict the volume of people taking the MRT, and when I feel there's a manageable number of commuters in the train, I brave the North Avenue station, only to discover that I have no predicting abilities whatsoever.What's funny is that, I worked in Makati for more than 4 years, taking the MRT day in and day out, before I

When I first saw the Drag Me To Hell billboards above EDSA waiting sheds, I thought it was one of those low-budget movies with funny titles or one of those unknown studio movies with funny titles (i.e. The Sinking of Japan). But it bannered the name of Sam Raimi. And to me, any film by a director/producer/maker with a name that has ever been related to the wonderful world of Asian horror (and

Best news ever.Because 2 large fries are just too much, but just one keeps you wanting more, McDonald's is now serving the new large fries (with the old large fries renamed Medium). In other news, our HR sent us an e-mail saying that the two most common health problems among employees are hypertension and obesity.

A week after the Idol finals, I'm left without a show to come home to after a long day in the office. Haha. Now, I can only make believe that I've just watched the results show replay on QTV, which so competently broadcast and covered the whole season. Thank you Q! Thank you for the (almost) commercial-free 6pm broadcast and 8pm replays. And thank you for the weekend re-runs. We are so spoiled,

MMDA's anti-colorum drive notwithstanding, I reached the office at exactly 7:30. Office mornings are always calm, quiet and pleasant. Though it reminds me of the times when I'd do all nighters and people would come in the next day even before I'd clock out. Haha. Anyway, I think I'd do this often. Come in really early, and have more time to do crazy things at night.I guess I'm really a morning

Now here at Kozui with Nalyn, using her MacBook and the cafe's wi-fi. On our way here, we watched SNN's Juday-Ryan coverage via Smart 3G. We found out there's a Judy Ann Santos Magazine (from Star Studio) about to come out. People are so excited about the Mara-Rigor wedding. Maybe it's because these two remind us that in this time and place, a happy ending is still possible. Awww. That is why

Because I have the dorkiest obsessions, naturally, I'm getting myself addicted again to Monopoly.I first encountered this board game in Archie Comics (yeah I once read Archie, another dorky admission) with a strip showing Moose buying Marvin Gardens. I wondered what it was. Getting answers from rich friends (haha) or classmates who've had the chance to play the game with relatives from Manila, I

Here's Shaina Magdayao dancing to the Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" at Sarah Geronimo's concert. I thought PCD sang it "When I grow up, I wanna see the world, drive nice cars, I wanna have GROUPIES." But after seeing this subtitle from the DVD, I'm now having doubts.

As you may already know, there's a new cyber enemy who's gaining "popularity" after blogging about his "accidental" crime - that involves torturing an innocent UP Diliman cat to death (and apparently, appearing to be "proud" of it, even giving himself the nickname "serial cat killer). Blogger David Gonzales has so eloquently expressed how the people who've heard of this gruesome act feel.And so

T2. What an odd name for a local horror movie. At first I thought It's Terminator 2. I even confused it with the motor oil 2T. It was only days before Holy Week when the trailers and plugs started referring to it as Tenement 2. When we watched it last weekend, we wondered where's Tenement 2, or if there's even a real housing project with that name Maybe there is, because we always see Tenement on

I'm so addicted to Yahoo Go! Yahoo! Go is an application that you install on your phone and it made my ancient Motorola V6 Maxx look new again. Haha. It's got a very nice, bright and high-tech looking user interface because of it's smooth flowing feel when you scroll through your widgets. And you can choose and install your widgets! Aside from the defaults, I've added Facebook, Youtube, MTV,

Everyone is saying that we’re only good at making poor (and blatant) copies of original concepts, from that time when we made Dawson’s Creek into Tabing Ilog until Gossip Girl became Lipgloss. But there are also some ideas that started within our archipelago. Want proof?

Now on it’s 3rd week! Or is it already on its 4th? After a loooong time, I finally saw You Changed My Life, the sequel to last year’s surprise hit, A Very Special Love. (Hey, what’s up with all the song-title movies? What are they gonna do next? Eternal Flame? Electric Youth? Supersonic?) When Donna said we’re gonna watch the movie, I automatically assumed that we’re watching it in SM North. That

Everything’s been fleeting lately, not to mention, strange. I discovered last week that I am becoming near sighted when my boss noticed that I’m holding the Wall Street Journal too close to my face (yes, I read the WSJ – but just the Weekend Journal edition cause it’s the most fun WSJ can be). To think that when I was young, I feared getting my father’s far sightedness. But that’s not the

This will not take long.It's been a crazy and interesting week. Crazy, so far. The weather's crazy. I normally have the ability to control the rain, but this week, I just couldn't. So last Tuesday, the heavy downpour got me, and it was raining, even inside the vehicle I was on. And it just kept on raining, until tonight. I think. I'm still in the office and it's already dark outside and I can't

So yesterday, I, and a couple of co-workers went to work even though it's a holiday cause we're hardworking like that. At around 5, we went to Razon's and we all ate halo-halo, which is barely a halo-halo, cause it's just shaved ice with leche flan, banana, macapuno and milk. Everyone I know, who knows Razons, rave about this halo-halo. I've tried it several times already and in my opinion,

I got home so early! My Makati-QC commute took only more than an hour. Unlike this morning when I was on the road for a crazy two and a half hour! So when I got to the office, my bladder was ready to explode. The elevator I was on had all the floor buttons in bright red lights. And when I finally reached our floor, I ran to the restroom and took a leak that seemed to never stop. I was peeing for
