I decided to make a new blog. And this is the 361st post. Of course, out of sheer sanity, I won't delete this one. Those 360 posts couldn't be recreated in one day and I value my time. I won't throw away a few year's work out the window for moving out. To make this somewhat abandonment less literal: Lets pretend I'm insanely rich. I'm just buying a new house but not selling the old one. Being

I'm having a horror of a headache, sore muscles and numb eyes. I look like refuse from a war but the only thing I have been physically fighting with are my pillows and bed. It has finally came, the paralysis of anticipation. Weh. I just made up a name for the increasingly frequent days of being in house arrest. I just spent more than a standard day under the roof of our dwelling without any

Please don't read previous posts. My attempt at writing without inspiration are utter failures that reading those posts myself makes me want to cover my face with a bag. The way I write can be extremely bipolar. On one post, I'm very happy and humorous then dead serious on another one. I hope this is just a phase and I'll get over it - or at least the shift in mood occurs with a pattern. Moody

To continue the trend of reading books repeatedly suggested then ignored, I bought the book Life of Pie to ward off boredom for the next few days. Six millions copies in print. International acclaim, popular in over than 40 countries. 2002 Man Booker Prize winner. Probably one of the books where I end with, "Damn, I should have read that a long time ago!"

I watched Kung Fu Panda 2. After the movie, I was confused whether I watched the movie because I wanted to see it OR because I wanted to try the cool mobile phone-scanning ticket printer. The movie’s screening schedule wasn’t so convenient that if I will avoid buying the pricier, 3D seat (which often entailed serious migraine afterwards), I had to either skip taking a bath or come home the next

My first Picoult experience was watching My Sister's Keeper, a movie made from one of her bestselling novels. A friend suggested I read another book by hers called "House Rules", a story about a boy with Asperger's syndrome being tried for homicide. I was at the shelf, holding a copy of that book when my gut-feel replaced it with Handle With Care, still Picoult's. For one, Picoult has a

I went into Starbucks (Iloilo) today to get a caffeine kick and something to chew while I read Jodi Picoult's "Handle with Care". I was pleased to know they can use soy milk for brews for a small fee. The cashier smiled when their machine's printer started spitting out a long receipt for my routine Caramel Macchiato for "David". "Congratulations sir. You won a coupon for a free drink next time

To save myself from breaking my sanity against the eccentricities of psychological thrillers, I sometimes dip into the genre of love. Romance isn't really my thing as I have sworn to celibacy, that is until I finally get the hard kick of needing a partner. As of now, the internet, coffee and good friends keep me full and content. Well, most of the time. I have heard of 500 Days of Summer a

I read the book in a span of two weeks. Its a vivid, infinitely-detailed telling of a small fraction in the life of Holden Caulfield. A character so odd that it took me the whole book to realize that we have more similarities than I imagined. He is either representing a phase or a layer that exists in all of us all the time. After I read the last lines, I was sent into this whirlwind. I wanted

A real world conversation between an honest mother and a son: Son: I want to be an actor, mom. Mother: Well, you can be an actor! Just work hard for your goal. Son: I want to be someone really good. Someone like.... Johnny Depp. Mother: Oh! You know what? I think the family needs a doctor. Go wash the dishes while I fill up your applications for med school!   I am a fan of Johnny Depp

My family's routine has been the same for the past few days. To save on electricity, we all migrate to SM City and immerse ourselves in the mall's free air conditioning.  My parents have been seriously busy for the past few weeks and these are the times when they can unwind until another set of tasks come up. My father is in Manila for one of his favorite 'shows' in Araneta. Yesterday, we

My brain can't think of anything to write about so, to avoid anymore failures to blog, I present dinner at La Mesa Grill. La Mesa is a wonderful place - if you belong to a group of noisy, meat-eating friends.  Its not for intimate dinners or for banquet celebrations of someone's baptismal. Its a place for dinner-before-getting-wasted and reunions. The food, which are all local favorites,

Excuse the nudity. I was just actualizing my visions of the Garden of Eden and I am pissed off. I'm afraid the shirt I was wearing would go up in flames if I didn't take it off and we must admit that we enjoy the comfort of bare skin when we are alone. My haircut sucks. I looked into the mirror and I see history staring back. I look like an infusion of a Nazi and an extinct mammal. My

One of the few things I remember from childhood is the painful, snappy bite of electrocution.We have this small version of a refrigerator, the size of a 3-storey stack of textbooks. It opens through a single hinge door on the top side and it was designed to work with the plugs in cars, the ones with the cigarette symbol embossed on its cover (Although I have to note that the lighted cigarette

My sleeping regimen has been annoying my mother for the past few weeks already. I sleep at around 3 AM and wake up around lunch time. If I try to sleep earlier than 3 AM, I fail miserably and it really gets annoying trying to sleep when you know you won't so I lie in bed at around 2:30 to minimize the time of fidgeting in bed.Woke up today and to my side are these:My phone.

The necessity of a day to honor the efforts of the female parent will surface even clearer if you would have to believe that someone of my dimension and character sprouted from your insides and that you have to take care of me, at least try to, for until the ticket to heaven comes to one of us.

I have a lot of people telling me that being the best in school doesn't really guarantee smooth sailing through the real world. Sure, it helps but when you are thrown into a system where everyone must be better than everyone else and everything is 100x the speed in the academe, the curriculum vitae can be easily dwarfed.  Take that from an incoming college freshman because I, that incoming
