Bulalas Portion Sa Culinary Destination
Akala ko talaga ay hindi na ako makakapanood ng concert ng Keane. At oo, Keane na naman. Paulit-ulit di ba. Nakakairita. Para na akong magulang na paulit-ulit na nagpopost ng litrato ng anak sa Facebook.Pangunahing kadahilanan ay kahirapan. Sa nakaraang… Read More ›
Not Dolls!
One of my many addictions is that I need to read at least four comic books per day. Even if it’s already 1:30 am, I would need to sate this addiction. These days, what with the horrific–HORRIFIC!–DC’s New 52 and… Read More ›
And On Yet Another Keane-Related Post
I’ve decided that I am NOT GOING TO WATCH IT! AHAHAHAHAHHHA. That ahahhahahahaha is of course akin to the ahahhahhahahhah when you realize you have appendicitis and would need to be operated on right now. Or the same ahahahahahha when… Read More ›
I Don’t Know
Back in the days, way back in the days, during morning endorsements we would cower in our seats as the all mighty residents walked around the room brandishing their cat-o-nine tails and wearing knee high leather boots and fishnet stockings…. Read More ›
Better Than This…
… is a song from Keane’s 3rd album Perfect Symmetry. Obviously I’m still all worked up at the prospect of Keane holding a concert in Manila, at quite embittered that I couldn’t drag anyone to watch it with me, so… Read More ›
GAAAAAAAAAH!
Everyone I know who’s ever been to Thailand has been to Patpong. So while my real goal was to see The Reclining Buddha only because it was the backdrop of Sagat’s battles in Street Fighter II, I, along with Uni-Horned… Read More ›
A Year And A Half Hence
Back in December 2010 during the fellowship applications period we had everything planned out, and Mrs. T was starting to read up on this drug strangely named bevacizumab, which I would sometimes mispronounce as vebazicumav (who the heck comes up… Read More ›
Colorful and Sophisticated
“Paano gumawa ng poster para sa poster presentation?” I frantically called up Thymes 2 days before the presentation in an event in Taipei. I have a rather different view on academic researches so I had tried to avoid them as… Read More ›
Temples
While… eating sushi in a remote corner after the grueling ride at The Floating Market I struck a conversation with a pinoy couple also eating sushi in that remote corner. The guy was a family medicine practitioner and his wife… Read More ›
We’re Tumbling Down, We’re Spiralling
Back then I used to keep a multi-folded brown envelope, with the label “Concert Emergency Fund”. I would stash money in it once in a while, gripped with the fear that anytime some act I like would hold a concert… Read More ›
Oz
I have no culture, in the way that people define the concept nowadays. So when Smoketh proclaimed that she had free tickets for a Repertory Philippines production of the “Wizard of Oz” in Makati I said yes. We don’t turn… Read More ›
Bright Orange Envelope of DEATH!
Recently gave Helliza an orange plastic envelope containing around ten 10000IU enoxaparin syringes. Helliza was in a state of severe emotional distress brought about by strange happenings in the wards we used to call S.A.T. An S.A.T is a patient’s… Read More ›
Research Rules!
I’ve recently deactivated my Facebook account, following in the footsteps of Uni-Horned Beef Jerky Alanis Whore and HTGOF (How To Get Over Facebook). Interestingly, it was Uni-Horned Beef Jerky Alanis Whore who started the Facebook trend in our residents’ call… Read More ›
Aroint Thee, Self-Aggrindizitation
A few years ago my contribution to the Sagip-Buhay projects, mostly headed by Hurricane K, Jing, Papa Ruter, and Fulet, has been limited to being… a ghost writer. While my co-residents were running around looking for money and stuff, admittedly… Read More ›

You are 8. There is a storm raging outside. Your parents close the store downstairs and bring you to the upper floor. The winds are getting really strong and any minute now they can bring down the walls of your… Read More ›
The Dark Knight Rises
Last Friday I hurried out of work at around 1pm, and ran to the cinema to watch The Dark Knight Rises! I could have watched on the opening day the previous day, but I realized I haven’t seen The Amazing… Read More ›

One year ago Smoketh, all distressed and visibly shaken at the misfortunes of being a hellow, has asked me how I manage to stay chill. I told her the secret: Just don’t do your best. Your best, as well as… Read More ›
Hilakbot
Decades ago in the midst of long-hours of brown outs I would sneak out our katulong’s local comic books and read them with fervor in between my father’s Superman and Legion of Superheroes. One such komiks was Kilabot comics. It… Read More ›
