The Main Reason For Meralco’s Systems Loss

Freaking hilarious.
Got it from an email forwarded to me by my sister.

Inspiration

I drew some inspiration from these Roadtrip Nation videos. [Yeah, I also want to apply for a RTN grant, but I can’t afford to spend my summer on the road. Also, my friends aren’t interested in it, either. ]
I’ve been having these quarter-life crisis conversations with friends, lately. Most of you are graduating later […]

D’Arvit, I used to be awesome back then!

Well, okay, that was rather conceited. But still.
I logged on my Blogger account just a few minutes ago and found two unfinished drafts happily sitting on my dashboard. Nostalgia is an amazing thing. I have decided to reproduce them right here, just like Christopher Tolkien published his daddy’s unfinished tales. Bad bad analogy, but whatever.
So […]

Part 1: Of Magic Lists, Positivity, and Getting Your Heart’s Desire

You see, The Secret is no secret.
That’s what I’ve been telling everyone ever since I’ve heard of this book’s “ingenious concept”.

“The Secret reveals the most powerful law in the universe.
“Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, perfect peace, health, and abundance…
“The Secret explains with simplicity […]

Another Reason to Hate Imelda Marcos

My mom and I were talking yesterday when suddenly, she said something that I have never heard of before:
“Pinabugbog ni Imelda yung Beatles nung andun sila sa Pilipinas,”
[Translate: Imelda (Marcos) had the Beatles beaten up while the group was in the Philippines.]
And boy, was I shocked to say the least!
My brother came in […]

The Awful Truth About Filipinos

I have noticed during these past few days that traffic to my blog has exponentially increased due to the fact that people who were searching for “The Awful Truth About Filipinos” on Google have landed on one of my many personal blog entries.
   
This has kept me wondering: what the hell is this “awful truth about […]

Yes, the Title Is the Most Difficult Part

I have to agree with Maddy. The title is my least favorite part.
Coming up with titles is an art form. It should be.
When writing these blog entries, I always write down the title first. However, I often come up with a long title that would pretty much sum up my blog entry, then later […]

Stewie Speaks Tagalog

There is this video of a deleted scene on Family Guy that shows Stewie speaking four seconds’ worth of Tagalog. He sounds really hilarious–the way he pronounces the words is just so typical “white kid”. Anyway, take a look at it:

Okay, then. Let’s process what we just saw.
That video clip above was a deleted […]

Eek!

“Eek!” is when you realize that creepy old[er] men have an unusual interest in you… :O
Being mistaken for a thirteen year-old [no kidding, majority of the idiots here think I’m thirteen! :O] could probably bring out the inner pedophile in these creeps. *shudders*
I never liked talking about this, and I don’t think that I’ve told […]

Christmas, Americans, Filipinos, and Famous Authors’ Blogs

I am quite aware that my “Merry Christmas” blog entry is long overdue, so there’s just no use writing about it. Other bloggers have either written about how frustrating the Christmas season’s commercialism is, or how over-the-top “political correctness” is, or how sad or happy their respective Christmas celebrations were.
There is no point to follow […]
