Statuses Killed the Blogs
My friend Chu is a good writer who used to come up with stuff like this on his blog: Now he has been reduced to this: It’s his Facebook and Twitter status as well. He always simultaneously multi-broadcasts using ping.fm. He says micro-blogging is the newest in thing but I don’t agree. I enjoyed his […]
How the Smile Shutter Can Backfire
This happened years ago. Gelle had just bought her Sony camera which had the smile shutter technology – you can set it so that instead of clicking the button or setting the timer, the camera would take a picture when it detects a smile. We excitedly tried it out, but after many clicks, we decided […]
The First Movie That Made Me Cry
… and it’s 20 years later and it still makes me cry. The title of the movie is The Land Before Time. I still remember the scene that caused the most waterworks. Little Foot thought he saw his mom, and he got so excited that he ran to lick her, only to realize that it was […]
My Kuya Tupe
I don’t actually have an older brother, but I had one back in college. His name is Cristopher, Tupe for short. Most people would take one look at him and think that he has “priest” stamped all over his demeanor, and in fact I used to jokingly call him Fr. Tupe of happy pious and […]
Blue Bloods by Melissa dela Cruz {Book Review}
I searched for the Blue Bloods series in the library upon Drew’s recommendation. Last week I finished all four books (Blue Bloods, Masquerade, Revelations, Van Alen Legacy) currently out of the Blue Bloods series. I even finished book 3 and 4 in one night. I sat down to finish book 3 in the library after […]

Dee-cade in Retrospect
It hadn’t immediately occurred to me that when the clock struck midnight on December 31 of last year, it wouldn’t be just an ordinary year coming to a close but rather, the first decade of the 21st century. I only realized this about a few days ago when all these lists and awards started coming […]
New Year 2010 Fireworks Musical in Marina Bay, Singapore
This year we decided to try something new (last year we had gone to the Siloso Beach Party) and watched the Marina Bay fireworks. Thank goodness we decided to go at 9pm and were able to secure a good viewing spot without having to pay or get chased off by the police (which happened to […]
New Year Superstitions
There are all sorts of superstitions involved with the first day of the year. the most famous, of course, is to make noise to drive away the evil spirits, that is why we have fireworks. In the Philippines, we had quite a few – set 12 round fruits on the table to represent good luck […]
