A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

Petite and I stepped into this pizza place. It was shortly after the hurricanes and this was one of the few shops that was open. It was a nice enough place. Not too crowded. It was a quiet afternoon and we had no errands to run so Petite and I were just taking our time. Just as I was in the middle of a bite, an old lady ...

Da King is dead. Long live the King. The cynical view is to say ' let's see the Opposition try to pin this on the Administration.' The romantic view is 'he died from a broken heart' from not being able to serve the country as its President. But please for the sake of Mr. Poe's family, I do hope they don't use his death in pursuit of ...

Apologies to Jas of One Day I'll Grow Wings, Jobert of Organized Confusion, at kay Ginoong Gerry of hawhaw.dekarabaw.com -- I nuked your comments on the last post.

That kind of movie isn't necessarily bad but an adventure movie that boasts of Indiana Jones like thrills, the ...

Oh wow. Where do you begin? The Incredibles certainly doesn't lack the raves it truly deserves. The short of it - The Incredibles is a family of superheroes forced into supression of their super-abilities. Mr. Incredible, yearning for his glorious past responds to an invitation which promises to make use of his super-abilities without the dire consequences. Unbeknowst (as often the case in superheroics) he was walking into ...

Before picking up this book, I've stopped reading Stephen King. Not because I hated his stories or that as many of his critics would say, that his style is very pedestrian.
