On the night my paternal grandparents celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, I made a fool of myself more than a few times.

First, I danced to the tune of Souljah Boy and Apple Bottom Jeans with a seven year-old and an eleven year-old.  And this is not your ordinary freestyle fiesta.  It was more of a last-minute-rehearsed fiasco.  It was ( Read more... )

Is Jun Lozada turning into this disgusting creature half drunk with fame, half drunk with his ego, and thoroughly full of his deluded self?  There used to be a time when I admired his courage, when I felt outrage on his behalf.  Now I see his Instik bejo (no offense) face on TV and say blechhhh with much relish.

He's no better than the corrupt ( Read more... )

My sister is in between jobs at the moment.  And so, now, she is my current source of breaking Hollywood news.  This morning, I got another text message bearing news of death.  Dapat ata death toll na ang message alert tone ko.

A childhood friend of mine mysteriously passed away barely a week before Christmas.

She lived a few houses up the street from ours. Our subdivision is a tight-knit community. Everyone basically knows everyone else. Some twenty years ago, it was just a plot of land that was developed into the residential area that it is now. Small families hoping to ( Read more... )

 Damnit, you are a crazy fool.

You keep doing this stupid dance. Swear to defend the constitution, forget the constitution, try to use constitutional and electoral means, spit the constitution in the face. You are more fickle than a woman buying shoes. You are more impatient than her husband standing by the cash register and chewing gum.

You are ( Read more... )

When he was about 7 or 8 years old, my younger brother, always a hilarious source of pearls of wisdom, told me, “Ate, time flies when you’re kickin’ assssssss…”

At that time, he was referring to the twilight of summer. Just when we were getting used to our heavily tanned skin, and the effects of a mucked up body clock, the school year rolled around ( Read more... )

For the past few nights, the ONLY thing I've been doing is surf youtube for my past. No, I don't have sex videos uploaded by a former lover out of spite. Instead, I am soaking up in 1980s videos of Care Bears, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and Pippi Longstocking. And just to make the experience complete, thank you very much, Wikipedia.

I am still vainly ( Read more... )

Salamat salamat sa lahat ng nangamusta, kahit na ang sinabi niyo lang ay kawawa ako o kaya papangit ako. Hwehehehe.
