Four Beers by nickwheeleroz
“Can I see your ID, please?” she asked. She was a pleasant looking woman, perhaps in her early forties, blond, tanned, yet very very white. She smiled a bespectacled smile, the type of smile that you get from people who wear glasses.
For what?, I thought. I didn’t know they did a […]

I’m a Baby Sea Tuna

1: Type in “[your name] needs” in the Google search:
“Pam Needs Sperm Donor”
–> Oh my.
2: Type in “[your name] looks like” in Google search:
“Pam looks like shit!”
–> No, not right now, at least.
3: Type in “[your name] does” in Google:
“Pam does Montreal, P Diddy too”
–> I don’t really want to know […]

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 […]

This is so Me

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven’t been updating lately. Well, due to popular demand well, actually, Julie was the only one who said so, I’m posting a really quick update.
It’s not really a “real” blog entry in the strictest sense. I’ll do that next time.
For now, I just want to share […]

PS: In other news, we just bought an electric guitar! […]

Anyway, because we hate tl;dr-type blog entries, I’m keeping it short.
I got this quiz off some med school group’s forum on Facebook. It’s a Medical Specialty Aptitude Test. According to the results, I’ll best be in Thoracic Surgery or Radiology. […]

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 […]

Maligayang Pasko!

Or Merry Christmas, in English.
This is probably the best Christmas I’ve ever had in two whole years, for a couple of reasons:

I’m celebrating Christmas with the entire family for the first time in two years! [Christmas 2005 and 2006 were basically all about my parents and I in the US with my […]
