in sum
I skipped work for five days because I had to help my parents arrange the wake and funeral of my maternal grandpa, who passed away Friday after a stroke. He was buried this afternoon.
While we’re all deeply saddened–mom is devastated, actually–by his death, I think most of us are just, well, glad that his suffering [...]

thank you
I almost always end up breaking or bending the rules–even rules I made myself–so I’m not going to come up with a list of New Year’s resolutions. Nosir, not even a mental list, even though right now I can think of a couple of things I should really refrain from doing starting next year…
Anyway. So [...]

1. That sometimes vendo machines lie; that even though one minute it tells you it has sold out every soda can, a Coke Zero can may pop out if you push the right button. Okay, all the buttons. What, we were desperate.
2. That I really don’t know much about WordPress. I didn’t even know the [...]

riding in buses
I have a new thing: riding in buses. It’s something I developed this week; see, I was feeling particularly blue when I left Congress last Tuesday, so I wanted a nice, long relaxing ride home where I can just sort out my thoughts (I didn’t) and stare off into space (I did). I was also [...]

rolling in the ocean
The video for “My Drive Thru,” the Converse ad campaign featuring Pharrell Williams, Santogold, and THE Julian Casablancas is out! Hawlyguacamole (poster below, video way below).
I found the song pretty weird (very Pharrell, very un-Strokes, but what do you expect it’s an ad) when I first heard it several weeks back, but it’s starting to [...]

Tonight I had to buy something from a place with change for a thousand so I can go home, so I stopped by Starbucks at EDSA Central and got myself a mocha frap. To pass the time I a) stared off into space b) picked up a teen magazine to scan.
[Oh who am I kidding, [...]

The thing about me is that I’m spontaneous, so on Tuesday night I did something I prolly shouldn’t have done (not THAT big, but it hit me under these circumstances–yes I too can be a drama queen), and felt all sick and sad the next morning.
Thank God for friends who are spontaneous as well. Lawrence [...]

The product of boredom while waiting at the Manila Hotel.
1. Learn a new language, preferably Swahili (just so I can say “Yeah, I speak three languages. English, Tagalog and Swahili.”) or Portuguese so I can smooth-talk my way with people when I go to Brazil. Yesagirlcandream.
2. Learn to drive.
3. And then hotwire a [...]

what have you done lately?
So what can I say about Wanted, which I saw last night with Jarold at Trinoma?
Putanginaanglupet.
That movie has got to be one of the best I’ve ever seen. There was never a dull moment, even when Wesley Gibson (the wonderfully talented, geek-handsome James McAvoy) was just Googling his name.
The cinematography kind of reminds me of [...]

I…
…hate the fkin third world where it floods after a few minutes of rain, where journalists can write about meaningful issues to death (sometimes literally) but nothing happens, where the socialites do coke and aren’t even pretty, where The Strokes or The White Stripes or Muse won’t even thinking of touring, where scandals always [...]
