Gourmand Trivia

Minsan kapag kumain ka ng tanghalian sabihin mo sa kasama mo, "Mas masarap pala ang arroz caldo pag nanggaling na sa tiyan."

Pagkatapos makiinom sa iced tea mo sabihin mo sa nakiinom, "Mas masarap pala ang iced tea pag nanggaling na sa bibig."

Mi Chico Latino

Francisco Lachowski. He's Brazilian and he makes me cry.

I Love Dick

Now here's a totally unrelated picture.

I was tempted to give the devil-horn fingers peace sign— over Dick Gordon's head, that is— but decided not to. Cue: Alanis. So I got one hand in my pocket and the other one is squeezing someone's tushy. And that tushy is actually mine. I had to keep myself in check, I was starstruck, haha.

Fack, ang baboy ng mukha ko!

Mga binili ko. Saan at kailan ko naman susuotin? Haha.

I ❤ Yaoi

I Miss Lutong-bahay

Sinigang. Nilaga. Laing. Bicol Express.

Naku, these barangay election people are crowding my street. Paano makakadaan si kuya Chowking delivery!

Panahon Ko 'To

Naging studio audience member ako kasama ang aking teammates at iba pang ka-opisina. 3 PM ng October 20th naganap yung taping pero wala akong ideya kung kailan ipapalabas yung episode sa ere. Heto ang ilan sa mga litratong nakunan ng aking kasama.

The set was shabbier than I expected. Parang BA Org Pres lang na malaki ang budget. At least it was airconditioned.

Hosts were Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford. As my teammate put it, Billy looked like Barbie with a beard. Pretty Barbie with a beard he was, what with the curly locks and apparent blush and lipstick. Ang cute niya! Si Luis, ayun, he fit his shirt nicely, hehe.

Me and my teammates. Syempre pinili ko yung picture na tago ako. Bakit hindi pantay ang buhok ko?

The taping wrapped up at around 4 PM, and I hadn't had breakfast or lunch yet. Kaya lumamon ako nito sa Grams Diner. Then we went back to the office to continue working.

HT/TH

The lengths I go to, the long road that I travel, is it all worth it? Where I get off, is it really where I want to be?

With the way you're pulling me down, might as well drag me all the way to hell. But then, do I really need someone to get me there? Isn't it where I'll end up anyway?

Kababawan: Friends na kami ni Jessica Zafra. Chos! Feeling close lang ako. Si Christina Aguilera nag-file na ng divorce. Naku, ang bitch kasi eh, mean girl pa. Judgmental? I still love her no matter what. Titilian ko nang todo-todo ang Burlesque movie and soundtrack niya!

Stay Gold

Romantic or existential?

You are looking at the cover art of Utada Hikaru's next album. It will be her last release before she goes on hiatus of indefinite length. Of course that doesn't mean anything to you unless you're a fan, but to me it's distressing. It's like that time when Mariah Carey had her breakdown (not the single) and that time when Destiny's Child announced their disbandment and that time when Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer.

As much as I had you screaming "GAY!!!" at "Mariah," Utada had this to say regarding her hiatus,

"This period is going to be the period for me to face the real me as a person, by studying something new eagerly and humbly, seeing and learning things in this whole world I don't know yet. I think that's something that should be called 'human activities,' different from 'artist activities.'"

It really must have been tough for her, her second U.S. attempt not flying well as the first one. I think it was a contributing factor that lead to her decision. Just my opinion though.

Kung Hindi Tao, Hayop

I yearn for a pet dog. However, owning one right now is impractical if not impossible. Our landlady who's a cat lady extends the same affection to dogs, but her house has no garage in it. The room Levs and I share is enough just for the two of us. I want the dog to have the space it deserves.

That's why my heart breaks looking at these pictures. Do you know how much Japanese Spitz and Shiba Inu puppies cost? Update: Each can cost more than USD 1,000. I died. But they're so fluffy I want to die again!

Flight

I toppled a carton of Chuckie and spilled some on the floor. It formed a puddle bigger than the size of my foot. It was past midnight, and I was too depressed to function. The black ants started coming, but I couldn't bring myself to wipe the mess clean. Much like how I couldn't bring myself to finish this entry decently. So I squirted away the bottle of Johnson's Baby Milk Bath to line the perimeter. I watched the ants struggle to cross the barrier, either from within or from without, but to no avail. Then I deluded myself to sleep that, when I wake up, the whole metro is submerged and is immobile.

Heto Ako-o-o-o, Umaasa sa Ula-a-a-an

Dahil sa totoo lang, Pokémon lang ang inatupag ko buong weekend. (Ano ba sa Tagalog ang "weekend"?) At saka tulog. Pati na Spicy Chickenjoy (Sssss!)

Haggardo Versoza

Grabe, mukha na akong raccoon or panda or whatever! Can't wait for the weekend to have a decent sleep. :(

At the Salcedo Food Market

"Hi, sir. Baklava?"

"Baklang bakla!" Is what I would have said. Hehe.

Dahil Hindi Nagla-lock ng Office Drawer

"Ivan, can I borrow your phone?"

"Here... oh, but it's Mel's."

"What?!"

"Ah, 'It smells'. No, 'It's Melody's'. Haha!"

Shushal! Umi-Ingles? E Inglesera kausap ko e.

Ivan circa 1989

Nostalgia. I feel kinda guilty not having been able to see most of these people in ages. :(

I may forget, but I can remember.

Reader (if you exist at all), can you spot me, barely three years old when this picture was taken?

Tsongguys

My eyeballs do a three-sixty each time they exclaim "bro", "pre", and "tsong". Mga tsonggo sila, kairita! As if it isn't aggravating enough to hear their tired male exchanges on, ano pa, basketball, cars, and girls. Can't they choose to punctuate their mindless blabber with "gurl", "mare, or "ateh" na lang? Mas gay-friendly, daba?

Get Outta My Way

What's the worst thing that could happen to you? Take a chance tonight and try something new. You're getting boring. You're all so boring, and I don't recognize the zombie you're turning into.

Now I got a taste I want to explore. It isn't going to waste, no not anymore. You're going hard now to win my heart, but so many times now you've been coming up short.

Don't worry because tonight I got you. You can take a seat and do what you normally do. No, I ain't going home because I want to stay. But I won't be alone no how, no way. Now I showed you what I'm made of. This is what'll happen if you are not giving your girl what she needs.

Leave you; move on to a perfect stranger. You talk, I walk, want to feel the danger. See me with him and it's turning you on. It's got me saying, "Getting me back, it'd be another song. Get outta my way."

Get outta my way, you got no more to say. He's taking your place. Get outta my way. Way outta my way, you got no more to say. He's taking your place. Get outta my way...
