@3:37AM
For someone who was far from the storm’s wrath, the tragedy was, for one, a drone; a buzzing light show that kept me awake for two hours in bed. An unease that made me say “I could’t sleep” at least two times.
There is an inevitable layer of shame in this relative comfort; one which I, at times, rationalized with geography, and made up for by giving the then...

Actor Jericho Rosales rescued people in his village with a surf board.

GO JERICHO!
He’s our neighbor, lives down the street. He’s really nice. My brothers saw him in his jeep trying to help the people stuck in floods in our village, but he couldn’t get through, so he took photos, left the scene and then probably went to get his surf board!
There’s chivalry, and...

Michael Symon: (never trust someone who doesn’t like dogs)
Inisa: A dog bit me in public and it was quite embarrassing - did not even know it was there, did not startle it or anything - and it kinda sucked out my liking for dogs. Does that make me untrustable? This is just a totally useless crappy message. Just thinking.
Michael Symon: U mock what u don’t understand

Really, now
A Bossa Nova version of ‘Smile’ (though your heart is aching…) by Sitti is not what a flood-trapped/Sunday-trapped soul needs now. Lame.

Graduation
I always knew that someday after I finished high school, I’d go to Manila and to college. I had looked ahead to the grand adventure with eagerness but when it finally came, my leaving Rosales filled me with a nameless dread and a great, swelling unhappiness that clogged my chest.
I could not be sure now. Maybe it was friendship, huge and granite-like, or just plain sympathy. I could not be sure...

Exizzle what I'm sizzle
thecorrectiontape:
““Emotions, in my experience, aren’t covered by single words. I don’t believe in “sadness,” “joy,” or “regret.” Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I’d like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, “the happiness that attends disaster.” Or: “the disappointment of sleeping...

Bata, bata, paano ka ginawa?
We take after our parents so much it’s not funny. Earlier my mom said she was gonna buy us movie tickets to the new Vilma Santos movie. Although, I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the movie, I was thrilled with how it was sweet and all. So after the Saturday anticipated mass the car wouldn’t start. Flashforward: good samaritan, then good samaritans, 2nd gear-4th gear confusion,...

Blogger Cuts Ear
They’re slowly seeping in. Some MSN news channel interprets a Palin shtick as ‘Death Panel for Cutie.’ Of course, not a lot of people (even in the US) would get the joke, but this only means I will slowly start to say goodbye to my favorite band Death Cab for Cutie when they become mainstream. Snob much, but hey these are my ears. When the New Moon soundtrack comes out, I’d...

We Shoulda Sold Pepsi :)
In the late 80s Coke offered to make the signage for our business in exchange for, well, more Coke orders. It was to read ‘Joaquin Meals and Snacks’ (kinda redundant, i realize now). Alas, when they delivered the painted galvanized iron frame, it read ‘Joaquin Meals Snack-Inn’.
THE SOUND OF IT FEELS LIKE A MILLION CATERPILLARS ALL OVER MY BODY.
I was 12, ok. If this...
