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.
Here you see I am at The Prairie and I am hunting gorillos for Landry! He's an NPC. No he is not in the shot. Because the gorillos wouldn't let me.
A twenty-something woman saunters in to sit in the chair in front of me. She wanted me to issue her a medico-legal certificate.
Cory Aquino's funeral procession slowly passed along Ayala Avenue. My officemates and I went down to watch the procession.
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.

What event officially starts off a coupon craze? A friend of a friend of a teacher has this story to tell. This teacher’s friend’s friend worked as a researcher (dunno what exactly, but definitely not sampling patio furniture cushions!) in a certain municiplality in Zamboanga del Norte. As he was gathering his data, an elementary school teacher approached him with a question. Elementary school teacher: “Doc, tinood ba nang mabuntis ang babae kung mangihi sa CR sa lalaki?” (Is it really true that women can get pregnant if they relieve themselves in the men’s… Continue Reading

This may be old news but i have just read here that Disney is a set to create the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. That is, if they finally iron out some issues between them and Johnny Depp. The upcoming movie franchise will also be reportedly based on a novel by Tim Powers about the famous pirate Black Beard and his search for the fountain of youth. Disney plans to replace Black Beard with Barbossa though, with Depp making a comeback as Captain Jack Sparrow (Need some promotional pencils for that, Cap’en?). Seems to me that some people are just out to make some good ol’ pie… Continue Reading

One person died while nine others were injured when a Miley Cyrus Tour bus crashed and overturned last Friday at around 8:15 am along Interstate 85, near Richmond, Virginia. Fortunately, the star herself, Miley Cyrus, was not on board when the accident happened (Anyone want a fancy vacay? Check out these cool myrtle beach vacation rentals). The tour bus was carrying the singer’s concert production crew. The identities of those on board are being withheld as of the moment. Read more here. Continue Reading

November 20, 2009. The day that teen (and tween) girls around the world have been waiting for. This day will go down in the annals of history as New Moon Day (the day after New Moon Opening Night). On this day, fans of the Twilight saga flocked to theaters to see the film adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s New Moon, the second installment of the Twilight series (and to see Jacob Black lose belly fat and find six-packs instead). Weathering poor reviews from critics, the movie actually did quite well on opening day, surpassing even Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith in ticket sales. This de… Continue Reading

I’m really, reely looking forward to 2010. This will be the year that I’ll be seeing a lot of my fave books on the silver screen. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is one of these. It tells of a twelve year old boy who suddenly finds out he’s the son of Poseidon, the greek god of the oceans. This is a tale that’s just chock full of magic, mystery and just the right sense of humour. I really do hope that the film adaptation will be good. I hope they don’t botch it up (that would give me dark eye circles) like they did Harry Potter and the Sorce… Continue Reading

Ready to vote come 2010? Have you checked that you are, indeed, a registered voter in the Philippines? I wasn’t sure myself, since I thought that you had to register every single time.

That is the COMELEC Registration Tool. You will be brought to a page with a form that looks like this: Just enter your name and birthday, and press Find Now. The website will then return your voter de… Continue Reading

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

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

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
