It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer and singing songs of joys and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on...

...I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly.

Joni Mitchell summed it up well -- the longing to just be someone, some time, some place... else. Man, I don't know if it's ( Read more... )

So I'm watching the news right now about the commotion over at the Manila Pen. The reporter asked one of the PNP...

Reporter: "Kung kelangan, handa po ba kayong sirain ang mga pinto ng pen para makapasok?" ("If you had to, would you be ready to break down the doors of the Pen to get in?")

PNP (in a disturbingly nonchalant tone): "Susuko din yan ( Read more... )

As I snacked on crabsticks while watching TV this afternoon, the query crossed my mind: "What are crabsticks made of?"

Do I dare google? Would I regret ever finding out?

I watched Beowulf with Jim and Kat last Wednesday. And I had to stop myself from walking out with a big grin and two thumbs held up! I've had a friend tell me she didn't like it, but she couldn't quite explain why (she merely said, "Uhm, yeah" when I asked, "Is it because the screenplay didn't really follow the real story?") I've heard another ( Read more... )

So like Tsok, I'm teleinternetting tonight, watching Pirates of the Caribbean (Dead Man's Chest) while multiply-ing. And there's a scene in Pirates where some character's head falls off, and the head tries to guide his body to finding ...the head. "Listen to my voice..." it tells the body. Which is kindof strange, considering the ears that would ( Read more... )

...missing in action. Asan na nga bang phone ko? Aha, alam ko na... imi-missed call ko. Asan na nga bang phone ko...?

...at andaming namamasko! Madalang akong magtagalog sa blog pero pang-tagalog 'tong entry na to. Kanina pauwi, pagkatawid ng C5-Kalayaan intersection, uuuuubod ng bagal ng mga koche. Bakit kamo? Kase may mga nanghuhuli ng mga *ehem* smoke-belching na sasakyan. Asuuus. Dumadami ba ang smoke-belcher pag palapit na ang pasko? Bakit nagsisilitawan kayo ( Read more... )

Our yoga instructor challenged us to go to Wednesday (Oct. 31st) class in costume, and actually practice yoga wearing our costume. I shoulda thought of asking y'all suggestions sooner hehe :-)

As of now, ang naiisip ko lang eh ang mga hindi puede. Like most other students I wear stuff that's either swimwear, or close to it (since we sweat a lot in ( Read more... )

So at Saguijo last Saturday, the host was talking about drinking responsibly and asked the crowd, "Lahat naman kayo college na diba?" "No...", many answered. "Ha? Graduate na kayo?" "No," they said again, "...high school."

*tingin sa kamera sabay "Ngiii!"*

I nearly got hit by a motorbike this morning. Me. Not me in the car, just me. Without shifting my feet or moving my torso I could've given the guy on the motorbike a hug was how close we were. It was a wonder I didn't hit him (I had my yoga mat in one hand) or scream at him. I managed a scared little "Aay!" (pinay na pinay) but that was it. Then I ( Read more... )
