What can I say? It was one hell of an ending. Expected something else, but I can’t complain so much. They had to tie loose ends. Then there are those with contracts that were about to expire. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the movie despite all that drama. The exciting action sequences were all…
Ever since I started reading books, learning about and seeing pictures of places from all around the world, and watching these sites on TV or the Internet, I have always had this burning desire to travel there myself, to set foot on these lands and witness it with my own eyes. This was my DREAM….
An egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs or Easter eggs are hidden for children to find. Real hard-boiled eggs, which are typically dyed or painted, artificial eggs made of plastic filled with chocolate or candies, or foil-wrapped egg-shaped chocolates of various sizes are hidden in various places. The game is often played…
So I was having dinner the other night at this fine dining place. It was actually a treat to me for somebody who “owed” me, and somehow I got to choose the restaurant. Nothing posh or fancy though. There was a budget cap! We happened to be really close by Ayala Triangle that time thus…
Well, Chinese New Year at that. But, nonetheless, “Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!“, as the literal translation would be. The more common greeting, they say, is “Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái“. Which means “wishing you prosperity”. And this year, according to the Chinese calendar, would be that of the Pig. Took me only another new year celebration…
Bulalo – Beef-based soup dish cooked with vegetables with beef bones thrown in the mix. The broth mixture is light. Meat is tender. Best served hot. Tawilis – This is not a cooking style or recipe. It is the local name of a small-sized freshwater fish that can only be found in the Philippines particularly…
Poblacion food hop @ Makati City on 5th November 2018 – Food tripping on my birthday! ABKD (Ah-ba-ka-dah) – Started with coffee @ 4pm-ish. Too bad their kitchen was still closed. Would have loved to have tried their chicken skin bites. So-so taste for the coffee. It wasn’t all that bad. Probably will still give…
Mamma Mia! the musical @ Solaire Resort & Casino, Parañaque City, Metro Manila on 11th October 2018 – Nope, I didn’t watch Mamma Mia! the musical. My mom did. I only waited for her outside. Took these photos while killing the time for 3 hours.
Shot taken last 3rd September 2018 around 7:01PM on board Cebu Pacific flight 5J806 as it slowly descends down the taxiways towards the runway, awaiting for its turn to take off from Changi Airport, Singapore. This is my final good bye to you Singapore. My home away from home for the last 7 years or…
My shit has been a mess for a while now. It has been for the last 2 plus years. I thought I had it all figured out when I made that decision one fateful day more than 3 years ago. It turns out I really did not. I thought I was ready to take the…
I couldn’t be more excited when I learned they were doing a musical on the hit Eraserheads (a.k.a. Eheads) single, and arguably the best – Ang Huling El Bimbo. The story is supposedly loosely based on the song. And then sprinkled with a healthy dose of other Eheads originals, albeit tweaked to make it more…
… or take a few months. Which makes it 6-plus-ish something years. But who’s counting? Right? In case I have not mentioned it yet, I’m not talking about when was the last time I posted something here. Well, it could be that too. But instead, I am talking about me coming back to the Philippines…
Seriously, I am so sick and tired of this warning that Yahoo! Mail gives out when you are not using Windows or a Mac. For fuck’s sake get rid of that warning Yahoo! Perhaps everyone in the Linux or BSD community already know that and we’re not dumb idiots like so many of the Windows…
Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin and they end with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact in the course of a life. May 23rd was a Wednesday. Girl: Are you interviewing? Boy: Sorry? Girl: Are you interviewing.. . for the (pauses) position? Boy: Oh yeah. Why are…
