Some time last March, I accidentally found out about the A-Z challenge, which challenged bloggers to post the letter of the alphabet every day during the month of April, with Sundays off for good behavior. When I saw that, I thought: As my favorite Barney Stinson of HIMYM would say Now I have been blogging […]
Young Yesterday
My mom recently uploaded pictures of her when she was young, BD – Before Dee. And what perfect timing, as I had no ideas for my Y! Thanks Mommy! The thing is, it’s a bit strange to think of your parents as being young once. I mean yes of course you knew they were, but […]
XXX
I know that my title isn’t technically an alliteration but do you know how difficult it is to find X words? I thought of writing about Xanthic X-men. Xanthic means yellowish, so I was going to write about wondering why the movie Wolverine doesn’t wear the comic book yellow costume, but even though I love […]
Worst Weakness
My friend once described me in a lengthy post which ended with this line: “Greatest weakness and strength – Love.”Oh boy. Is it ever. One of the most painful moments of my life was when I first got my heart broken as a teen. He was my first love. I was so crazily, unhealthily in […]
Valuing Vincent
Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer’s day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Do you know that song? It was one of the songs on our multiplex tape when I was a child. I didn’t like it then. Whenever the tape came around to […]
Undeniably Undead
A few days ago, I was scrolling through one of my favorite time-wasting apps, 9gag, when I chanced upon this picture: This made me laugh because I can so relate. Not as the Zombie roommate, no, I am usually easy to wake up, all you need to do is call out my name, but rather, […]
Queen of Quotable Quotes
Back in the Philippines, forwarded text messages were (or still are?) a thing. They’re like forwarded emails but shorter, so they’re usually jokes or “quotes,” like this one: I was finally getting over you I had crushes other than you I walked around with my head high, thinking I wouldn’t fall But then you smiled […]
Peer Pressure
“I’m going home next month,” a friend of mine announced some time ago. “Ugh.” Well that wasn’t the typical reaction of an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) about going home, so we asked her why she didn’t seem happy about it. “I’m dreading it,” she explained, her unhappiness etched on her face, “because it will be […]
Overwhelming Obsession
I think I may have a problem. I tend to get obsessed. About what? About anything, really. Let me list a bunch of random stuff I have gotten obsessed with over the years. X-Men Barbie dolls Sailormoon Sweet Valley Twins Clarissa Explains It All Greek Mythology The Titanic Charmed and witchcraft All the guys on […]
Nasty News
I woke up this morning to the bad news that the Boston Marathon had been bombed. My thoughts immediately flew to my fellow A-Z challenge blogger who runs Another Clean Slate, as she had just chosen to blog M for Marathon Monday which was all about the Boston Marathon. I knew she didn’t participate in it […]
