So, Is It True?

"Have you ever thought of having sex with anyone of my friends?"This question knocked the wind's off Erbe's sails.He went red and then he began to blubber, and he finally exclaimed forcefully, "Dai!!!""Okay, now I know you're lying. So, c'mon tell me, who???""Ano man na hapot yan?!" He answered, and he took on an offensive tactic, "Ba, mapuon ka na naman!"Anyway, I explained that it's the claim of this article I just read. He shrugged off the article,...

On an Impasse

Migraine is hell. I have this every month, but yesterday's attack which lasted until this morning was pure hell. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemies - well, maybe I do. My only consolation is that I did not end up in the hospital this time; although, mamu was insisting on bringing me to the hospital. She just couldn't bear the god-awful vomit-my-guts-out wrenching that I was doing. Fortunately, I have Erbe who stayed with me through it all....

Top 15 College Memories

They say that High School life is the best. I beg to disagree. Oh, it wasn't anybody's fault but mine. Those were my Joey Potter days. Do you know that scene when Dawson first saw Jen - and Joey was just livid with jealousy , pain and anger? Well, I was stuck in that Joey Potter moment . I was freaking miserable. Geeze. Looking back, it was rather pathetic. I don't know how many times I'd beg off from going to school by pretending I had diarrhea!...

Full Circle

Do you know that thing they say -- that you would only understand your parents when you become a parent yourself -- yes, that thing? I finally understand what people mean when they say that. And it's true. It's very, very true.As you probably know, we didn't have our mamu around while growing up. When we were little, she'd only come home for a month-long Christmas vacation. So, whenever she was home, I'd insist on her sleeping next to me. I hated...

She's Learning Fast!

On the phone talking to Che, I was barely paying attention to Paige who was watching Madagascar and eating cereals from the box.When suddenly she appeared beside me and earnestly asked, "Mama, love mo ako?"I turned to her and answered, "Suuuuuuuuuuuuper!"Her face then took on an I'm-so-sorry-mama look and then she moved aside and pointed at the cereal box and all its contents dumped on the bed, "Hilingun mo mama o."It was only then that I realized...

Iggy's - Singapore's Best Restaurant

Working online, I get to write all sorts of articles for various websites. I once wrote a series of articles covering the best chefs and restaurants in the world. The articles included video clips, recipes and reviews. So, basically, I completely immersed myself in El Pellegrino World's 100 Best Restaurants list. I drooled over recipes and pictures of world-class cuisines. Overtime, I developed a gnawing desire to visit all of these restaurants....

Discovering Dan Fogelberg

I heard Leader of the Band earlier this evening. It prompted me to check out other Dan Fogelberg songs. After all, all I knew was this song and his famous Billboard topping song, Longer.I like his cover of Rhythm of the Rain. Check it out.And this song, Same Old Lang Syne - it's bittersweet. If you have someone from the past that you still need to do the good 'ol "closure" with, you will like this song.Same Old Lang Syne (Dan Fogelberg) Met...

Sheer Idiocy

Erbe and I slept at god-knows-what-time - I guess 4 or 5 in the morning. At exactly 9 o'clock in the morning, I woke up to a severely stifling heat and a lot of sweat. My first thought, "Pucha. Mayong kuryente." Pissed, I grabbed the phone beside me and called Casureco. (As you know, I have a long history with Casureco).But I was even more pissed off when I heard the answer, "Scheduled brownout po yan, ma'am. Hanggang 5 PM po yan."Defungal.Scheduled???...

Remembering Da Vinci Days

I found a couple of my old, old paintings.I miss it - creating things with my hand. I miss the way it used to make me feel.I miss the place I go to when I draw or paint.I miss it.It's a very peaceful place. There's nothing there - no pain. Just a blissful state of nothingness. Drawing/painting was my release when I used to feel bad.Now, I blog, scream and get lots and lots of hugs from Erbe. One of these days, I'll create something. I wish I have...
