Jeff Libuit has reminded us that tomorrow would be their last day in residency, in his succinct Facebook shout-out which goes “last day na bukas”. We envy him, and all the residents finishing up tomorrow, because once again they would… Read More ›

Gunk
After taking strong, bitter coffee at five in the morning I rushed to the bus stop and dozed off in my seat immediately. I woke up somewhere in Quirino, only to feel something crawling up my left leg inside my… Read More ›
Chocolate Coins. In A Net!
I was looking for Smores in the supermarket because just five years ago Smores was available even in Mini-Stop but now you can’t seem to find it anywhere. It’s relatively cheap, maybe because most of the bar is taken up… Read More ›
Tatarin
I saw a local movie called Tatarin in ATC years and years ago, back when I could still watch horrific movies in theaters and stuff. It was supposedly based on a Nick Joaquin short story we’ve read in Hum 1… Read More ›
Vanishing Room, Cinoroborate
Pinaalala pa kasi ni The Daw aka BOTD aka Supervillainess Helliza. Natatakot tuloy ako ulit bigla. Sa mga panahong ito ay nagtatrabaho ako sa isang lugar na kung tawagin ay Cancer Institute. Tuwing tinatanong ako ng ibang tao kung hindi… Read More ›
Blog Minefield: Random Conversations With Total Strangers
While comfortably sitting in Shrine Motherfucker 1 trying to write a short story about a guy who thinks he’s so ugly he slashes his face with a razor blade, who should strike a conversation with me but the guy (a… Read More ›
Murder Mystery in CI
Not really a murder mystery, but I’ve been perusing through my old Hercule Poirot stories and it’s just fun when he screams, in David Suchet voice, of course, “MURDER!” The mystery I’m referring to in this instance is, of course,… Read More ›
Purge!
Been having quite a difficult time in many respects lately (as if I haven’t whined about these things enough), but I’ve declared a couple of days ago that what would push me to the edge is if my gadgetifications start… Read More ›
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One of the things I like doing when I’m at home on weekends other than stare at the ceiling for hours on end is looking at stuff I can throw in the trash or give to other people or sell…. Read More ›
Supervillainess
Chanced upon Supervillainess Helliza and HTGOF in Shrine Motherfucker 1. Strangely Shrine Motherfucker 1 is quite devoid of people, probably because it’s sem break. Having run out of blogs to ridicule and having exhausted all valid points on being cat… Read More ›
Alternative Career for Lochia
Back in high school I actually thought I would like to become a lawyer. Gross. Utterly, utterly gross. This is probably borne out of my being thrusted into a couple of debate competitions within the school. Again, utterly utterly bleeping… Read More ›
Crap and A Sell-Out
Years and years ago during semestral or summer breaks one of my personal projects would be to write as many short stories as I could, which I would later badger Mrs. Therese to read. She was a good friend like… Read More ›
Self-Indulgent Entry
Consider the following events that happened in the past couple of weeks:1. Lalaloo has been blogging again! And she has listed her twenty favorite things in response to an ad where the writer wrote his twenty favorite things. Check out… Read More ›
Getting Some
We are now in issues 2 and 3 of the DC relaunch issues, and whatever steam the relaunch has created has, as expected, been quickly lost. That’s because, as I’ve said, this relaunch is totally unnecessary. After the first issues… Read More ›
Flipped
Still avoiding the threatening 12-hour Godfather folder from The Helliza Files, so what should I click next but the movie Flipped. Secret shame: I have these sporadic compulsions to watch these hour-and-a-half rom coms, specially if they are extremely funny,… Read More ›
The Helliza Files
Happily there were relatively few patients to rounds and kikimo today, as everyone is probably in the beach. I am thinking that they are all in the beach because for some reason the All Saints’ Day weekend feels more like… Read More ›
Generativity
And just because we are wrinkled old prunes doesn’t mean we don’t marvel at the cherries. On the contrary, we love the cherries. We love watching them gallivanting and frolicking and getting plumpier and redder and brighter by the minute…. Read More ›
NNO
I have a pathologic inability to escape situations. Such that if a talkish person suddenly accosts me in the corridor and makes kwento for hours on end I would find it too difficult to push her aside and run to… Read More ›
14
On a regular consult with my pediatrician many many many many years ago, she took out a prescription pad and outlined to me my career options. I was in grade 6, and she was already concerned about my career. Maybe… Read More ›
Warm and Fuzzy
Been in the dumps lately. So you guess this is another one of those whining, moaning, groaning posts right? Wrong. On the contrary, this is a post on being warm and fuzzy. In an attempt to somehow crawl out of… Read More ›
