Dear _____ , Buhay pa ako. Matagal na tayong di nag-usap. Alam mo naman... "Life's what happens when you make plans." So anyway. Panahon na naman dito sa US ng Thanksgiving. Alam ko madami tayong dapat pasalamatan kahit sa ating mga Pilipino hindi tayo nag-oobserve ng Thanksgiving sa Pilipinas. Walang pilgrims. Walang turkey. Walang Indians...er...Native Americans. Wala ang mga yan pero madami pa rin dapat pasalamatan. Unang-una nanalo si ...
Children are fearless. They haven't acquired the prejudices and inclinations adults inevitably pick up during their dealings with the World. Petite and I were in the pool the other day. There was a kid of probably 9 or 10 in the pool. There were two other couples sunbathing on the deck and we thought he was with one of them. He wasn't really much of a bother, bantering ...
Chuck Norris Fighting Game (mock video game trailer) Interesting. What if there were video games based on Pinoys & Pinoy Celebrities? 1. FPJ: Counter-Strike: first-person shooter with no need to reload weapons 2. Dolphy Kong 3. Erap's Texas Hold 'Em Poker (oh crap am I going to get spammed?): all the tournaments are held after midnight 4.

666 crazy anyone? Maybe just a case of hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - fear of the number 666. There's a totally unnecessary remake of the movie Omen opening Tuesday to take advantage of the 06-06-06 date. There's a town called Hell in Michigan which is throwing a party on 06-06-06 to attract tourists and sell merchandise. Of course for some people, it's their birthday. This girl is turning 6. No word yet if ...
May 1 marked the nationwide protest dubbed "A Day Without Immigrants". At the center of the protest is a pending bill in Congress which will criminalize anyone helping illegal immigrants -- even those in the charity and members of the clergy. As a show of strength, immigrants decided to call everyone sympathetic to leave work and march. For each person who participated in those rallies, there's a story ...
Came across this via Kottke. Film critic Jim Emerson's list of essential movies to watch: - They're the common cultural currency of our time, the basic cinematic texts that everyone should know, at minimum, to be somewhat "movie-literate." Interesting in some ways although some selections are obvious. Still some ways to go. Of course there are no movies from China/Taiwan/Japan/South Korea which, IMHO, are churning out very interesting movies of ...
Today, San Francisco commemorates the 100th year of Great Quake of 1906. At 5:12 of April 18, 1906 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake rock San Francisco and the surrounding areas for 40 seconds. The quake and the 3 day firestorm that followed it, might have killed 3,000 people, displaced hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed over 28,000 buildings. The quake and the Philippine's First President share one common bond: ...
