January 20...

It may seem like just another date to most people. To the citizens of America, it’s when their presidents get inaugurated. To my friend David, it’s his birthday. To me, it was “officially” the beginning of an adventure I thought I would never get the chance to experience. Exactly one year ago, I said yes to the unpredictable, unexpected, potentially dangerous, and frightening predicament of...

gifts and money roll in! Christmas is just around the corner and, just like clockwork, I received my aunt’s annual Christmas wishlist e-mail the other day. I now have to rack my brain to come up with this year’s list of material items I want to receive during this sacred holiday. You would think the idea of being able to get exactly what you want for Christmas seems gratifying but, if...

currently reading

So I’ve realized these past couple of days that I’ve got a hell of a lot of time on my hands this holiday. This revelation, of course, led me to conclude that I can finally catch up with my reading. Seeing that I have a good solid 10 days to waste, I think I can manage to read a min. of 3 to a max. of 5 books before I have to drag my (I predict, fat) ass back to work. And to...

my big fat (not exactly) greek weekend redux

It’s almost the end of my weekend and I can honestly say it was a big fat weekend. My family and I spent both Saturday and Sunday shopping for Christmas food in 3 different supermarkets. The bad part about it was that my sister and I kept grabbing things that weren’t part of our shopping list. OH BOY. Not to mention all the meals we’ve been eating. I mean lunch at North Park??...

Narnia = Church

 After watching the 3rd installment of Narnia...
MARCO: I still don't understand why they can't go back.
ANGELI: It's because they're Christians already. I mean more grown Christians.
ME: More mature Christians, you mean. 
DAD: No. It means they're already in adult worship. They used to go to youth worship. Eh they can't go back na coz they're too old.
ALL: *stumped*
 My dad thinks of the wittiest things.

my big fat (not exactly) greek weekend

It’s finally the weekend. This week actually went by swifter than I had expected. I’m lying on my bed enjoying not being at work. You have no idea how good it feels to be back home and actually feel Christmas coming. My mom set up the tree already and has put gifts under it too. My sister even told me she started playing our Christmas CD. Up North, I feel, isn’t the place to...

THE (sort of) BIG PICTURE PART I

In a couple of weeks (17 days to be exact), I will be turning 22. Yes, 22. I know it doesn’t seem to be as scary as turning 30 (sorry for those who are); I’ve somehow begun to feel anxious about the swiftly impending date (or doom). It’s not that I’ve ever cared about my age, or aging rather, I just noticed that somehow this entire year went by almost without me knowing it. Who or what is to...

Tommy

“I half closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything I’d ever lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing here in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field, and gradually get larger until I’d see it was Tommy, and he’d wave, maybe even call. The fantasy never got beyond that...

im running out of moneyz hohoho

Spent the afternoon with my girlfriends (did I just say girlfriends?) at Megamall. Headed to Forever 21 and scoped the place. After what almost seemed to be an hour in the store checking out the merchandise (and crying over not having money to spend freely), we went to Mann Hann (yum) to stuff our faces with yummyness. Twinkle and Eunice ordered the Stuffed Tofu dish and a roll of Fresh Lumpia...

i've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty

I don’t know why but the shelf in my room seems to be the dumping ground for all kinds of random items. I have decided to schedule a sort of spring cleaning in my room starting the month of December but I wanted to remember the things on my shelf in case I throw any one of these things out. These used to hang on one of my bags. I should use boba bear. a bobble grimace. this used to...

Pier Roxas

This morning, after Jorn picked me up from home, we noticed these strange posters plastered on telephone posts around BF that read HELP ME. All I could read was the guy on the poster’s name was Pier Roxas and that he needed help trying to remember what happened to him during the 8 days before he woke up all bruised at a pier in Roxas Blvd (yes, I’m getting there). Here’s a...

Aladdin and The Town are pretty much the same...

Mom: It was a really good movie but it's wrong because it makes you take sides with the robbers. They made the cops look like the bad guys.
Marco: Yeah, so did Aladdin.
