Are You Not Entertained?!? (Chapter 4 of the "Unoriginal 2007" Series)

1. What bill do you hate paying the most? Credit card bill (like everybody else) 2. Where's the best place to eat a romantic dinner? The beach or on the balcony of a nice small cottage in Baguio overlooking the city (Mountain Pride! Whooo!). 3. Last time you puked from drinking? College. I don't remember what year exactly, but I remember puking in the living room toilet of Casa Zuluaga. 4.

......... Not anytime soon though. But now that I have your attention, please take a look at some of the comic sets I have on sale (seriously, I need the money). These are from my own personal collection and have been kept in pristine condition (a lot of these I've read only once) since the day they were purchased. All comics come in their own plastic with backing board. I'm willing to meet

Swiped from Pao (from Bry, from Jon, from Djong). The phone rings, who do you want it to be?- Si Christine Reyes...asking me to be her prom date (or for my body, I'm ok either way).When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?- Nope. Kusang bumabalik yung mga cart na ginagamit ko kasi takot sila sa akin.If you had to kiss the last person you kissed again, would you?- Of course! '

For a better part of my childhood, I thought I wanted to be Michael Knight. Turns out, what I really wanted to be was a Knight Rider -- not a Michael Knight -- just a driver, with my very own KITT (short for "Knight Industries Two Thousand"). I still vividly remember having my photo taken while sitting inside the real-life KITT (could've been a replica in hindsight) in Universal Studios and

I Almost Ran Over Somebody Today...

...motorcycle driver. He fell off his bike, right in front of my car's path! Just stepped on the brakes in the nick of time (burned-off a good few inches from my tires in the process). By the time my car was at a full stop, the guy's head was this close (*forms estimate of an inch and a half with hand*) to my front bumper. FREAKIN' SCARY!!! You know why the guy fell off his motorcycle? He ran

Discover the Work You Were Born to Do

2007-07-16T11:36:00.000+08:00

This is probably the only career-related article I have read that has struck a nerve as hard as it has. James Gonyea, contributing writer from Monster.com, writes: "So you've been hearing that voice again, the one that says you're not doing what you were born to do. That may be true, but how do you figure out what you should be doing?""How?" indeed. A lot of us have tried to answer this for the

My Six Weird Things

2007-07-11T15:24:00.000+08:00

Tagged by Peejay. So I'm supposed to disclose six weird facts about myself. It's a lot harder than I thought. Anyway, here goes: My teeth are too big in relation to the size of my mouth. Mathematically, they're not directly proportional to each other--my dentists can attest to this. I once had an impacted tooth extracted, they (two dentists) had to break it in two first before they could take

So, Blogger has apparently graduated from Beta. *clap clap clap* And I wouldn't even have known about it had I not been over to Jon's blog and seen his high praises for my enthusiasm to keep this site updated (you may refer to his sidebar just in case you're not getting what I'm talking about). I'd very much like to blame the earthquake in Taiwan for depriving me of internet access and the

I'm not a big fan of forwards. Though there are those few gems that are worth sharing (like this one). Had a blast reading these. A site called "Who Represents" where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity.

2006-03-15T11:23:00.000+08:00

I think my Dad might have been Chinese in a past life. It's funny how I only started to notice recently. I mean, for the longest time, his closest friends have always been Chinese, he loves doing business with the Chinese, heck, he even knows how to speak Chinese (just Mandarin really, but still). His fascination for the Chinese probably goes way back to our days in Saudi, where he and my Mom

Freedom Forever

(Because Gerwin already had first dibs on "Remember, Remember".)I couldn't be more happier with the way V for Vendetta turned out. Being a big fan of the graphic novel it doesn't disappoint. However, being a fan, it's also hard not to want a few more details from the book to be included in the movie. Nevertheless, the Wachowskis still managed to do a fantastic job of squeezing in all of the key

Let's try this again.This is the longest time I've been away from the old blog (three months on the 15th, counting from my last post). The really sad truth is I kind of lost the taste for it. It just came to a point where I felt like I had to "work" on my posts, rather than just allow my thoughts to freely flow into my writings, the way I used to. I don't know...what with the major burnout I was

Breakfast of Champions

Or in my case, the Snack of champions. This killer combo of a meal has been a regular part of my daily diet for over three months now (I eat a sandwich as my 2nd and 4th meals). Not only has this helped me shed off more pounds (as of my last trip to the scale, I lost another 10), it helps me get through the rest of each day by giving me that extra boost of energy I need (Lily's and Gardenia

The title couldn't be more apt (I remember one or two of you might have already used said title before, so I hope you don't mind if I swipe it from you just this once). This blog's literally been buried for the better part of two months (last post was on August 8). I was actually quite surprised (and of course, very, very thankful) that the Powers-That-Be at Blogger haven't decommissioned me yet.

First prize wins 500 pesos (enough for a half tank of gas) while the next two best entries win 200 each. Guess who won first prize...not me. Apparently, the judges didn't quite agree with my color scheme (the winning entry used Globe's
