Straight Edge?
I don’t consider myself straight edge. I don’t walk around with black X’s on my hands. I can’t stand screamo, emo, or hardcore punk. I’m not vegan either, but being vegetarian for health reasons has crossed my mind many times. If avoiding drugs, alcohol, and sex makes me straight edge, so be it. I still [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In defense of Votefortheworst.com
Websites like votefortheworst.com should NOT be condemned. In fact, people should even thank the webmaster and site staff for coming up with such a brilliant idea. Though sites like these are usually built for any or both of these reasons: (a) to communicate a certain idea, and/or (b) to get site traffic and earn money, [...]

Save Me
Hanson is the band of my childhood. They’re the guys who inspired me to pick up the guitar and start playing. They’re the band who inspired me to practice and teach myself piano… [and the harmonica, and the recorder, and.. and..]. They inspired me to draw realistic sketches, too. I was a hopeless teenybopper, when [...]

Why Taylor Hicks, America? Why?
As American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has put it, “America has chosen“. They voted, and they chose epileptic, jitterbug-ish “Soul Patrol” man from Alabama, Taylor Hicks over the diva-esque Katharine McPhee. And yes, do shoot me because I am complaining. Also adding to the horror are the dumb lyrics featured in both “idols’” new singles, [...]

We drink tea!
(Internet) video killed the stupid kid. Figuratively. I’ve found a bunch of funny [?] videos on the net… The very famous Saturday Night Live “digital shorts”. It all started with Natalie Portman’s Gangsta Rapper video. I found it real funny at first… but gradually it just became so “blah”. And oh, the part where Samberg [...]

Last one for the road!
This is it. It’s practically midnight here in Charlotte. My parents are snoring softly as the airconditioner hums gently in the background. Someone’s blundgeoning bloody footsteps are making a huge racket outside our hotel room; more foot-stomping above us, but thankfully, no one seems to be bothered by it. I stretch my legs and sit [...]
