Yesterday was quite a day, if you ask me. Woke up late feeling slightly woozy (that damn mojito’s a traitor!), and after much deliberation with my shobe of where to lunch, descended on nearby Ineng’s.
Ineng’s still is considerably ok, with their trademark 7-inch barbecues. But I don’t know, it just doesn’t bring that [...]
Last night marks the first time in quite a long time that I took a drink for no reason at all. No reunions to go to, no night outs with friends, just me and my Syrah.
I didn’t know what got to me, but there’s this bottle that I opened last December, still about 1/3 full, [...]
Just finished watching The Orphanage, which is marketed as ‘from Guillermo del Toro, the guy that brought you Pan’s Labyrinth‘.
I didn’t think it’d be at par with Asian cinematic horror masterpieces, but it was. It has it’s fair share of jump at you suspense sequences, which after the initial shock value, leads to my [...]
I was at Tagaytay for most of today and yesterday attempting to make my way through Bad Education by Pedro Almodovar. It was an ok film, with Gael Garcia Bernal starring as a transvestite, something I wouldn’t have pictured him doing after seeing Y Tu Mama Tambien and The Science of Sleep. But I guess [...]
“Join us in welcoming the newest member of Broken Social Scene… Mas Selamat*!!!”
So begins Kevin Drew’s spiel for BSS’ one night only concert in lovely Singapore last Sunday. If that line was any indication, it was that BSS would provide an awesome show, sprinkled with bits of humor in between songs.
And damn, the show [...]
I was supposed to go out on this free postcard exhibit thingy at Fully Booked in Boni High last night, but I guess everybody was just swamped with something else. That, or nobody just remembered to do the actual planning of things. Seems everyone’s been hit by a juggernaut of laziness these days.
So, I decided [...]
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I’m counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy
I wish you were here.
Contrary to most people’s reactions, I didn’t particularly like Incubus’ performance in Singapore. It was unenthusiastic to say the least.
But [...]

Sundays are as most Sundays go, and as usual, this one was spent devouring movies. I had the privilege to see two films today, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and The Squid and the Whale.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is based on the real life story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, who was left paralyzed [...]
