I know I haven’t been on my best behavior this 2010 but really Santa, major things to worry about this 2011?* The new year hasn’t even started yet and I feel like I’m standing on shaky ground. No, this isn’t going to be some sad emo post because of a love lost, fit of rage rant, or some pathetic psuedo schizo writing that usually fills your dashboard. If the problem was...

Filipinos are quite creative. I don’t know why majority of the films that we make come off as really brainless and lame. Probably because the two media giants of the country seem to have the impression that the masses only want cheap thrillers, nacho-cheesy-one-in-a-million-chances-of-happening romances, and blunt humored comedies. Suddenly, without much commercial hype, Studio 5 (TV...

Tonight I was reminded why I miss this city so much. Even though our lives have took different turns, we are still bonded by good times of goofing off as though high school was just yesterday. I miss Cebu. I’ll post some pictures soon when I steal it off from my friends’ albums. Good night, Tumblr!

I’m watching All I Want for Christmas since HBO is playing a marathon of Christmas movies and I want to get into the Holiday spirit. It’s playful, innocent, and has a happy ending. The film is clearly a wholesome family-themed movie. Rotten Tomatoes bashed it for the lack of premise, plot holes, the bad acting, and all those things that haters are going to hate. But kids don’t...

Looong day. So this is what it feels like to have two jobs. The first one pays the bills, the other one I just enjoy doing. I rode a jeep, walked 5 blocks, rode the MRT, rode the LRT, rode a pedicab, and finally took a taxi. I got really busy today, I even forgot to eat dinner. Yet I still found the time to go online and check Tumblr even if I’m already so tired. It’s a good type of...

This song of the year, among other things,...

Wow.Today I decided to finally submit my application. After a month of revising the letter and my curriculum vitae, I just said to myself: this is now or never. My fate is in the hands of the admissions officers. Check back on me after three months. I’d probably blog a celebratory post or a rant. Either way, I’d be crying - tears of joy or tears of sorrow. I’m really wishing it...

On Morning Rituals
The alarm on my phone wails wild, waiting on me to press the snooze button. I reach for it looking at the time, and assure myself of 5 more minutes. I get up and heat some hot water, scoop up two teaspoons of instant coffee. With no cream, or sugar, not because I’m cheap but because I like it that way - bitter and strong enough to get the blood flowing to my head. I yell at my other roommate...

I’ve been wondering: why do we always run out of potable water but still have an excess of beer lying around the apartment? The three of us don’t even drink that much.
Maybe we’re attempting to live up to that typical male stereotype. I’m going to fart after I post this.

On People Shutting Off
Some people get hurt. When this happens, something in them shuts off. Their sanity, their emotions, and their good will. Especially with deception, lies, and adultery. It’s not just the initial shock that is worrisome but the long aftermath that the person has to endure with him/herself. They would listen to some Urbandub, drown themselves in comfort food and alcohol, have an enormously...

One of the things on my bucket list is to walk into an open mic venue. Be it a bar, a cafe, or some wayside hole in the wall bohemian place where no one knows my name and I wouldn’t know theirs. I’d motion to the waiter to get me a shot of some good ol’ liquid courage. Then I’d go up the mic denuded of all hesitation and shyness. Sing my heart out with an instrument...

“Have yourself a merry little Christmas…” this song has been playing on loop everywhere. There’s something about it that isn’t really merry at all. Sinatra’s soothing vocals utter the words in such bittersweet symphony that I cringe a little every time I hear it. It’s a great song, don’t get me wrong. Quite pseudo-melancholic for the Yuletide season....
