Halloween is stupid and pointless
Halloween is the stupidest, most pointless, blatantly banal consumerist “holiday” invented by the West. I understand X’mas, Father’s/Mother’s Day etc. They’re rooted in traditions that make sense. The premise of Halloween fails to make logical sense at all. What’s the point? Costumes? Candy? Closet sluts coming out? I’m leaning towards the latter, by the way. [...]

My First Real Brush with Death
It’s 01:01 in the morning.

Many people have been asking, “What is the English word for kilig?”
Well, to my non-Filipino readers, kilig is that shivery, fuzzy, chilling [positive] feeling that you get when you’re “in love” or infatuated.
To get straight to the point, I think–take note, I said I think–that it is…

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

“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…

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 [...]

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:

D’Arvit!’s 100th Blog Entry
What’s so special about the number 100?
Well I don’t know, either.
People just love to celebrate. They assign special symbolism for specific numbers or specific points in time. That is the reason why mankind invented calendars, numbers, ages, birthdays, and the notion of time.

Time flies so fast… It moves too soon… [...]
