Friday night found me drinking with friends. After a few beers, one of my friends gave an off-the-cuff comment about the weather. A storm was coming, she said. She heard it on the news. The storm's making landfall tomorrow, she said, so now she had to cut the night short and leave. I heckled her, thinking it was her way of weaseling out of a drinking session in full swing and skimping on the ...
Weeks late, but still incredibly relevant. Writing an editorial, so I had to browse some sites for info. Found Alanah's photos and decided to repost them here. Heard Alanah broke her 60,000 peso camera lens when the coppers got rough with the media. There was a student-led lightning rally held in Malacanang last August 19. This was the violent dispersal. Pictures by Alanah Toralbah, Anton ...
Continuing that semi-hiatus trend during the scant downtimes I can manage. Congratulations, I suppose, are in order. Stefania Fernandez swept the Ms Universe 2009 title and tiara for Valenzuela , following the footsteps of her predecessor Miss Universe/ Miss Valenzuela 2008 Dayana Mendoza. In my entirely invalid opinion, she looks like a cross between Natalie Portman in Star Wars and...
Like Jay-z dropping an album after announcing his retirement, or Gloria Macapagal Arroyo running for a second term after saying she won't, tonight is a night of recantation. Just a last hurrah, then I'll disappear into the void. I read this article which puts three of my favorite things together: street art, Batman references, and political schisms. Plus, this is the sort of thing the campus ...
I hate it when life kicks into warp speed. A fiend of mine commented on how much I've changed in the past few months. He said I used to exude an aura of being casual and laid back, like nothing can bog me down. Now he says "haggardo" every time he sees me. So many, many things have happened since after that bit of theater work. School started. Holding down two classes this semester-- my ...
A snippet from Morning After: A Final Tribute ,Edel Garcillano I. How can you grieve outside your self? The event was pure melodrama, staggering the heart: Why are you like a woman quick to shed tears at the drop of a hat? The heckling streamed down like the rain, but he couldn’t duck the water spray. So here he was wiping his face lest people find out… But it was no laughing matter. ...
Been skipping out on Livejournal and microblogging on Facebook. Signs of the times, signs of the times. More important real world stuff calling... The State of the Nation Address mobilization will be MASSIVE. An estimated 20,000 protesters in the streets. There will be more if you come. And there is good reason to come. It's going to be GMA's 9th SONA-- 5 more SONAs than your ...
Walking is incredibly good exercise. Most walkers have less incidences of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. For weight loss, walking does not depend so much on speed as it does on distance. Around 100 calories (a bottle of light beer, for example) is lost for every mile walked. Modern medicine advocates walking as it supposedly adds years to one's lifespan. Not to mention, walking ...
She has no redeeming factor whatsoever. The President's boob job Friday, July 3, 2009 As early as 2006, hospital staff discovered it, along with her fatty liver We've kept this information to ourselves for quite a time. We thought, it's her life, and it’s really none of our business if she wanted padded boobs. Three years ago, at the height of speculations over what was ailing her ...
