Next week will mark my first month at my first corporate job with Rockwell. It has been crazy lately, to say the least. My sleeping schedule has obviously done a 180. I used to stay up late until the whole city was asleep and jog at 5am before sunrise. Now it's a constant anxiety attack to wake up at 6am to the sound of a deafening alarm. I want to ( Read more... )

Mike Winchell: You ever feel cursed, Coach? Like, no matter what, inside your heart you feel that you're gonna lose.

Like something's hanging over you, following you like a witch or a demon that just...

For one, I haven't been allowed on "gimmicks" the past two weeks. Even the week before these hellish two weeks hirap na hirap ako umalis sa bahay.

My mother says I go out too much for an unemployed person. Which is true naman. Pero I'm still a student! Technically, I only have one class, but it's not ( Read more... )

On a recent trip to Ilocos Norte my friends and I went to see the windmills at Bangui. We saw them from the car window on the Coastal Highway to Pagudpud, we could see them from our resort across the bay, and we finally saw them up close and in the flesh.

"...And now, things we thought to be true, turned out not to be. It seems that when we give up on what was, well that's when things that we thought improbable or impossible, even, happen right before your eyes."  --Kitty Walker, at Kevin and Scotty's wedding on the season finale of Brothers & Sisters.

Well, this doesn't bode well for the image of Philippine cinema overseas... The article reported by People.com on the closing of this year's Cannes Film Festival rounds up the highlights and the lowest-light:

The year's biggest stinker was Service, a Filipino drama that had critics and audiences scratching their heads and asking, "What the heck is ( Read more... )

Nobody knows I liked you. I kept that to myself. Partly because there was somebody else you were possibly with, partly because if I admitted it, I would get teased like crazy. And I hate it when friends tease me about someone I like... It just ruins the whole thing.

But opportunity has come and gone and I heard that you have a girl you're apparently ( Read more... )

In this case, a white lie is better than the truth.

It's better this way.
This is the way it's supposed to happen.
I wish things were simpler but I've made my peace with it.

Weekend beach getaways with your buddies is always, always, always the best way to unwind.
