For treating us to Jollibee!!! And she really meant the treat, too. In fact, she went out of her way to wake me up and suggest ways on how I could drag myself out of bed, and has regaled us… Read More ›

Girlfriend Material
A few weeks ago Mary Anne Sue, a close female friend, had some problems with her boyfriend. I wasn’t there during the acute phase (welling of tears and throwing of breakable objects), but I was there during the subacute phase… Read More ›
Floss
One of my favorite daily activities is flossing my teeth. It may not seem like it, but I like flossing my teeth. To bleeding level. Truly I must have been doing it wrong for years on end, because after flossing… Read More ›
Leaked Interview Questions
And in a few days time, I think, the pre-residency live competition ends! I don’t know most of them, basically because I’m old! And nobody wants to rotate in our clinic with those icky chemo stuff! Kikimo! Ahoy! Who will… Read More ›
Our Rant For The Day
Does not come from me, much to your relief. I have severe sore throat that if I use too many exclamation points it would hurt so much more. What’s that you say, that it could be lymphoma? OF COURSE IT… Read More ›
Slurp-eth
In grade 2, one of my most hated years in my life, like first year med, first year college, hellowship, 2nd year high school… wait if I go on I would sound totally miserable. AHAHAHA. So in grade 2 one… Read More ›
Oh, Powergirl
One of the casualties in the blasted DC Comics relaunch is Powergirl. To recap: Powergirl is the parallel Earth version of Supergirl, but her Earth’s Superman has died in Infinite Crisis. For over two years she has grown from a… Read More ›
Welcome Back To The Shore
Was frantically running around doing the things I usually whine about, and realized I’ve been doing this thing for seven months now. Seven months, of whining, doing things ANYWAY, whining, doing things ANYWAY, because really, WHADDAYAGONNADO. And WHO should I… Read More ›
Baseline Karindihan
On to my attempts to read every comic book ever written. I am presently resuming my reading of Peter David’s 80-issue run on Supergirl, the version that isn’t Superman’s cousin from Krypton but is rather the Matrix-Lana Lang DNA-Earth Angel-Linda… Read More ›
Hello, Simone Bianchi, What Were You Thinking
Since nobody in the vicinity ever reads comic books these days I resort to comic book message boards and podcasts like a sorry attic dwelling pathetic crap. During the round table interview with all the consultants in the subspecialty application… Read More ›
I Wasn’t Dead
You mean you were gone? You asked. Yes, indeed, I ‘ve been absent for quite some time. I’ve been in a parallel universe where everything is airconditioned, there’s always dessert in the rationed food, the elevators are fast, the people… Read More ›
And Now For Something Absolutely Disgusting: Pinna Melanoma
And you’re probably thinking, of course this will not be about anything disgusting this is just a hook and will probably be just about some self-indulgent crap like Wonder Woman’s disgusting story line Odyssey or Superman’s disgusting story line Grounded…. Read More ›
Brown Envelope
While thumb twiddling in the elevator hoping that the day would end soon (it wouldn’t, it was just 9 am), who should come in when the elevator doors opened but…. The Daw! The Daw was visibly frantic, because she had… Read More ›
The Greater Depths
In the midst of all this bitterness over the tragedy that our lives have turned into (exaggerated of course, we don’t want to sound ungrateful for our blessings but we must keep up a veneer of whinified distress), Smoketh and… Read More ›
Bula
A few weeks ago my parents visited me and brought me dinner. Home cooked meals are precious and always a welcome change from the Jollibee/Wow Ulam/COOP trifecta, more so in this era of abject poverty. Precious does not even cut… Read More ›
Cherries
How I love them. Those red, plump, round cherries—succulent and wet, rolling nicely in your mouth. You can pop them, concurrently crisp and chunky, and suck suck suck in that tangy-sweet sensation. Back in the days… Read More ›
Research Paper/Tabloid Mode
Pinag-uusapan lamang namin ni Smoketh nung isang araw na habang tumatanda kami at nagiging mga tinapay na may amag, or mismong amag, lalong umiiksi ang aming mga attention span. Halimbawa nagkukwentuhan kami nina Frichmond habang kumakain ng Subway sandwich, mga… Read More ›
Happy Birthday Smoketh!
We’re taking a break from our regular programming of comic book wet dreaming, hell-owship rants, and nostalgification for that particular time when we weren’t such bitter old prunes so we could greet Smoketh a happy birthday! We are henceforth putting… Read More ›
Tutubi Girl
Been reading a lot of comics recently, mostly catching up on the 90’s Supergirl, the train wreck but slowly recuperating Flashpoint, and a bunch of others, but what really captures my fancy is the excellent run of Grant Morrison in… Read More ›
Mallet and Claw
While quietly reading some comics BOTD messaged me all of a sudden. BOTD has recently quit some high-paying job in the military-industrial complex treating lab tests such as urinalysis with a WBC of 2-4 to prepare for her upcoming downward… Read More ›
