Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever. - Michael Corleone, The Godfather A friend from college pointed me to a recent hullabaloo in the homeland. It's about a certain writer from a certain magazine and broadsheet with dubious standards who made some totally arrogant comments about OFWs. I won't bring it up again (Google it!) ...
One of my favorite foodie is writing again: I am still able to tolerate the elevator music version of Jose Mari Chan's "Beautiful Girl" dripping off my Peking Duck - but only because I'm eating excellent Peking Duck, and the Chinese (along with Thais and Singaporeans) have an inexplicable love for elevator music. - Disaster Mari I'm sorry by JMC always wants me to put an ice pick in my ...
