Gawad Kalinga Bayong ng Kabuhayan

What can you do with leftover plastic wrappers, the wasteful by-products of an industrialized generation? You'd be surprised what beautifully woven things can come out of these.

Alexander Skarsgård as Eric Northman

Eric is gorgeous. Eric is tall. Eric is dangerous at times, devilishly charming at others. Eric is complex. Eric is a vampire. Eric is a Viking. Eric is all man.

The Wood

Posted on 09 November 2009

With every new day, with every new step, I draw closer to the wood.  The woods is that place in the road that is shrouded in uncertainty (Or it could be used as kindling for that Amish fireplace). Where possibilities and pitfalls lurk in every hollow and behind every shrub. Right now I find myself once again standing at its borders. Daylight filters through the branches at the very edge of the woods. But further in is darkness. A pale, circle of light glows faintly at the end. A beacon that tells of warmth and comfort. But right now, I must face these uncertainties. Someone once said, that to get to the e… Continue Reading

Internship: The last 54 Hours

Posted on 29 October 2009

54 hours. That’s how long ’till I’m done with my internship. *elated* Done with waking up super early in the morning. Done with rounds. Done with all those discharge summaries and prescriptions (Goodbye finger-blisters). Done with endorsements. Done with desperately kissing our resident’s asses just to avoid demerits and extensions. Done with sleepless nights. Done dealing with uber-kulit patients. *heart starts sinking* Done with surgeries. Done seeing those spotless OR tile and harsh lights. *teary-eyed*Done saving lives. Done with all those blooper… Continue Reading

Only in the ER

Posted on 29 October 2009

Overheard at the ER. Lady Doctor: Cosa kel, Sir? (How may I help you, Sir?) Sour-faced guy (looking like a truck accessories salesman): Pwede yo saka medico-legal, doctora? (Can you issue me a medico-legal certificate, doctor?) Lady Doctor (Pen in one hand, coffee in the other): Cosa ya pasa contigo, Sir? (Ok, what happened?) Sour-faced guy (calmly): Ya tira comigo, ma’am. (I was shot.) Lady Doctor (alarmed): Ancina? Onde contigo ya tira? (really? Where’re you hit?) Then, realizing that just about anything could be used as a projectile (including bread), and that the man seem… Continue Reading

Goodbye Geocities!

Posted on 27 October 2009

I created my first website in 1999. That was the year the Internet was introduced to me. The very same year I fell in love with the Internet. I poured my heart out online through static pages. I drafted my HTML through Notepad. I crafted my graphics through downloaded image tools. The butterfly and the Medusanity mask were pastels on paper, scanned and edited for my Medusanity portal. I’m so gonna miss this space, these memories. I wish someone could save Geocities. I wish I could. Not just this one. But all of it. All of the world’s first foray into online expression. All of the glitter… Continue Reading

Hello Kitty Online: The Rainbow Plain

Posted on 25 October 2009

This is the Rainbow Plain in Hello Kitty Online, just outside of Paris. The Rainbow Plain Right now I am hunting for Magical Glow. I’m not sure where I can get it. I need to it make my Solar Pickaxe so I can mine Level 14 items. I’m completing Hello Kitty’s Birthday Quest but there are some high level items I can’t gather because I simply haven’t had time to complete all the quests yet. Grrr. So anyway, hopefully some Magical Glow can come out of these Rainbow Trees. Here are the drops you can get in the Rainbow Plain: From the Candy Tree: Candy Fruit Withered Leaves Cate… Continue Reading

World Pyro Olympics 2009

Posted on 23 October 2009

Image by chotda via Flickr I love fireworks. Ever since I came to Manila two years ago, I’ve always yearned to watch the World Pyro Olympics that happen every year. It’s a fireworks showdown of countries, a spectacular display of fire on water and a backdrop starry night. Whatever could be more romantic than sitting on a bed of grass, lying in the arms of the one you love, and watching the darkness break into dazzling choreographies of fire and light? Alas, I’ve never watched a single pyro show ever. This time I won’t miss it, whether I have a partner or not! This time, the W… Continue Reading

How to Pick a Lock

Posted on 21 October 2009

Image by ul_Marga via Flickr In the building where I live, you get someone to do it for you. Coming home from work today, it was so frustrating. I realized upon reaching my condo unit that I had forgotten my keys inside! I called my roommate Christian, who always came home early to go to the gym, except he informed me he was currently out of town! (What a great roommate that makes me, huh.) I called Jose, my other roommate, but I knew he often came home late, and alas, he said he’d be home by 8:30. It was only 6pm. Rare moment that I got to come home so early. (Normally, I finish work around 9 to 10pm.) I di… Continue Reading

2nd Best

Posted on 20 October 2009

Drat. I’d have to settle for that. I hate it when I don’t win (I’m very absolutely competitive. Just ask my Magic Buddies). In a race that began with mild jesting and ending up in all-out battle for 1st place, our group jockeyed for supremacy in the annual post-graduate intern’s quiz bowl. (Blurb: for all you guys planning to go to law school, check out this LSAT prep site) It’s a quiz bowl. For interns. Jeez. How lame can you get? It was an activity designed by the hospital admin to test our knowledge retention. It was also an activity that I didn’t think IR… Continue Reading
