D’Arvit!

Yeah, I admit, the title is a pretty lame play on Figwit, but the famous web comic Waiting For Frodo has always been great. It had to end, of course, yet hope remains in its newly launched spinoff: Waiting for Bilbo.
I can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope that this is [...]

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 [...]

Well, the Official Web Elf was looking for “any video of Neil being snogged by Jonathan Ross at the Eisner Awards”, but a quick trip to YouTube n hours after the event solved the problem.

Ah, the things they do these days. XD A tribute to the Britney/Madonna MTV awards kiss?
The look on Neil’s [...]

Yeah, I’m selling some of my used textbooks on Amazon.com.
I just bought my stuff for the coming semester, and then I realized that I have to get rid of those books that I don’t need anymore. XD
I’m posting my listings just in case somebody else is in need of a cheaper alternative to [...]

Frodo Baggins: I can’t do this Sam.
Sam Gamgee: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could [...]

Back in December of last year, I wote:
What I love about Neil Gaiman & Libba Bray is that they have willingly made themselves available to the fans by means of a simple online journal. It has benefitted them as much as it has made the fans extremely happy.
Would Colfer follow suit? [...]

Finally, the highly anticipated Stardust trailer premiered today on Yahoo! Movies.
Neil Gaiman blogged about it just an hour ago. [the man beat me by more than an hour. Screw my English research project! :lol:]
I actually first saw the trailer a good two hours ago on Entertainment Tonight’s featured upcoming films to watch out for.
My [...]

Or “quasi”-blog entry, as my history professor would say. Apparently, “quasi” is his favorite word.
Man, I’m not too crazy about American History. Philippine History was my best subject back in my old university ["You write better than most of my graduate-level history students," said my Philippine History prof back in UP Manila] maybe [...]

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 [...]

It’s 12:01 AM and I’ve finished three out of the two papers for this day’s quota. Go me!

I came from Barnes & Noble yesterday. It’s been a long time since I’ve ever been to a decent bookstore [the bookstore in school reeks of the pseudo-grocery/gas station/NBS Katipunan vibe]. I bought my [...]
