Before everything else, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. I had hotpot the day before yesterday and it was sooooooooooooooo good! I may be a 58kg guy but the fact remains that when it comes to buffets and hotpots, stand back and give me room hehehe.

Updates on my day - Had a rather semi-normal, semi-fun day yesterday (fell asleep when I got home ( Read more... )

It's bad enough that Americans have a flair for it, and we all know that Filipinos will always take after their American liberators; copying them as much as possible and as often as possible.

Such is what I encounter everytime I commute home (and it does get worse from what I've mentioned so far). So if people actually want to hear a continuation of rants/bitchings on ( Read more... )

Okay, I've decided to blog again - stopped partly because I just did not feel like blogging at that time of the year, partly because I was always reading most of my free time, sometimes lazy or tired, a large part would be losing my password for my Live Journal account, and the remaining would have to go to laziness in retrieving said-password by ( Read more... )

My first entry, what can I say? Today was a really slow day for me since I only had one class to attend to. But, it was a philo class, and I’m really glad for that.
