Nakakairita na talaga ‘yung mga taong naka-scarf. Kailan pa naging fashion icon si Abner Mercado? Mas malaki, mas astig yata. Mas mukha rin silang engot. Dati, mga shimag (‘yung mga parang checkered na scarf na usually kulay itim at pula) lang ‘yung nakikita ko na suot ng mga tao, pero ngayon kahit anong tela na lang ang nakabalot sa leeg nila.

This is the closest I’ll get to being more personal in my posts. Cue the violin.

Posible bang ma-homesick ka sa sarili mong bahay? Nalaman ko kamakailan na posible nga. Paano ko nasabi? Kasi na-experience ko ito noong nakaraang Sabado habang nanonood ako ng Asian Food Channel at kumakain ng ininit na beef steak. Nagyaya ang mga kabarkada ko na ( Read more... )

Philippine police officers are being urged to smile more.

That’s the news I heard on the radio earlier today on my way to work. The jeepney driver, however, immediately switched stations so I wasn’t able to hear the details behind the proposal. It’s safe to assume though that this has something to do with the continued image transformation hopes ( Read more... )

Confetti rained down on the Philips Arena in Atlanta last week after the lowly Hawks forced a deciding Game 7 against the powerhouse Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce headed into the dugout with his head down as Joe Johnson, Josh Childress, and Zaza Pachulia whooped it up in midcourt as if they just survived the end of the world.

Although we all know by ( Read more... )

Solid! Na-epal na naman ang KANTO sa Internet. Punta kayo dito kung gusto niyo. Maraming salamat sa malupit at matinik na si Sharline sa kanyang tulong. Tenkyu from the bottom of our hearts and esophagus (tinatamad ako mag-research kung anong plural form ng esophagus o kung meron man siyang plural form).

Sports and nicknames have always been inseparable. Much like Hugh Hefner and all his busty Playboy Bunnies. Since the NBA embraced nicknames like "The Big Dipper," "Houdini of the Hardwood," and "His Airness," thousands of other monikers have been made. But not every single one stuck to the mind of fans all over the globe. Worse, there are players ( Read more... )

This is just another unsolicited criticism on a ridiculous advertisement.

I was on my way to fetch Vira at her friend’s house last Saturday when I heard this plug on the radio (not in verbatim): “Don’t fail to grab a copy of Stars, the debut album of Lala, the hottest Filipino-Indonesian artist today!”

Wow! Can you name any other Filipino- ( Read more... )

Sagot muna ng survey dahil wala na talagang magawa. Salamat sa forwarded e-mail ng aking second cousin at nakakita ako ng gagawin.

Ayus! Na-feature na naman ang KANTO sa PinoyCentric.com. Salamat ulit sa beri accomodating at beri nice na si Karla Maquiling sa kanyang article. Mas bihira pa sa pagdating ng Halley's Comet ang publicity ng aming pinakamamahal na independent publication kaya salamat to the nth power ulit. Extra tenkyu rin dahil pinablish (whatta spelling) pa nila ( Read more... )

Without me really noticing, Holy Week just passed. Once again, my mom wore her veil of blessedness and crown of infallibility and asked us to participate in every Filipino Holy Week activity imaginable: Prusisyon, Bisita Iglesia, Alay Lakad, Stations of the Cross, Senakulo, Pabasa, hear mass 3212349130923 times, etc.

I come from a very religious ( Read more... )
