It was a case of going out in style.
Being on the short stack last night, I thought I caught a lucky break when the turn revealed a full house for me. Sixes on queens. So I tried to play as wisely as I could, check raising and all the babble that comes with trapping an [...]
After promising myself not to buy CD’s for the rest of the year after the great Singapore binge-shopping debacle, I still went out and bought a handful of CD’s last Thursday. One of them being Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye. It was a cool and suave record, something I can see myself [...]
I had a couple of choices last night, but they run contrary to my plans of staying at home. Hahaha. Actually, there’s more than a handful of records that I wanted to listen to, plus I also wanted to catch the film that I had just finished downloading before hitting the bed early on a [...]
Conceptually, it sounds gravy. At least, that’s what I thought. But trust me, Chicken Joy doesn’t go well with San Mig Light. Nor does Burger Steak, for that matter.
A huge part of this experiment wasn’t for pure purposes of justification, of whether or not my theory on SMB going well with Jollibee holds true. It [...]
I seriously, seriously thought that I was one year younger than what I actually am. It wasn’t until I viewed my profile in this social network earlier today that I realized otherwise. And to think I’ve been counting wrong for the past six months.

Death Cab for Cutie’s Narrow Stairs. Out on 5/13. Can’t wait.
Actually, probably not. But I reckon, it does come close.
Got to watch U2 3D last Thursday, and in a word, it was mind-blowing. The opening shot of the stage in Buenos Aires with the band yet to even take the stage already conveys enough enchantment, and that was all it took to tell me that [...]
“Try to realize it’s all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
And life flows on within you and without you.”
- Within You Without You by the Beatles
I’ve known Z for close to 11 years, but it’s only recently that I found out that she and I more or less share the same taste in film. She let me borrow her copy of Homerun (跑吧孩子) and Voces Inocentes, while I gamely lent her my copy of Tulad ng Dati, Paris Je T’aime, [...]
Thank God for the brave. It it weren’t for them, we probably wouldn’t have this unwarranted ‘day of valor’ holiday right smack in the middle of summer. Ergo, a two day weekend for me (I’ve got work on Saturdays).
So it goes without saying that I’m not really complaining, with this holiday seemingly baseless and all.
It’s [...]
While on the way home from work earlier this afternoon, I heard Wonderful by Adam Ant on the radio.
To me, this song will forever be lumped together with Jeff Buckley’s Last Goodbye and Hum’s Stars. It’s almost automatic. Not only did they all come out during the same year (’95 alternative rocks!), but they [...]
