A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

Life happens when you're not blogging. A friend emailed this and I don't have anything to share these past few days. So please enjoy. Let me know if you know where this is from so I can properly attribute it: By GMajor7, originally posted here. (Thanks for the heads-up Redjeulle!) Ang Puno't Dulo ng Pag-ibig Nakakatawa talaga ang love. Isa siyang napakalaking oxymoron. Lahat ng pwede mong ...

Got this one in the mail. At first I was a bit skeptical about it. I was never a fan of self-help books and cuddly-feel good literature like Five People You Meet in Heaven. But the writer raises some good valid points. There some simple things an "ordinary* citizen" can do. We forget that citizens also have responsibilities to the nation very much like elected officials. Italicized cynical ...

My sister sent me this. Some of the stuff are old - Petal Attraction no longer exists at UP Diliman - but there's still a few gems. I'd like to add: CainTaYo, a carinderia located in of course Cainta. There's a Stephen King Carinderia in Cebu.

I have friends who, instead of saying hello, send me email messages like these. Give it more time and you'd probably see these on a Manila tabloid or better...on TV Patrol. Give it *some more* time, you'd probably see my friends on a Manila tabloid or on TV Patrol. Maybe I should put these on KI instead... *** Mga Headlines Bukas, Ngayon Ang Broadcast! * Buntis sinaksak, bata nakailag!!! * Barko lumubog, ...

Another gem from the inbox. By the same token, I wonder what gender would 'blog' or 'blogging' be? People lacking sense of humor need not read on. *** A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
