I want to start 2010 with a clean slate. I want a fresh start, a fresh new perspective of things.Maybe it is the positivity the new year gives to everyone. You make plans, create goals, mentally list down things to be avoided. And no matter how much you try...you still can end up as crap.Happy New Year folks! Life is supposed to be enjoyed and endure...

Just a funny thought, it was kinda hard for me to google this picture up. The keywords "poomsae" and "poomsae philippines" does not work to show this photo on the first page of its image results. What I did was search for who the three ladies were and find this photo on their Facebook profiles. So for the three ladies in this picture, sorry...

The elephants looked really cute. Maybe that's the reason I loved going to Vietnam and Thailand. I love elephants.Wait, I should be speaking about the 25th Southeast Asian Games in Vientiane, Laos.

I was finally able to watch Engkwentro, up-and-coming director Pepe Diokno's first movie. The movie will be shown only until Sunday on selected theaters across the city(check SM cinemas). If not the usual fare is your cup of tea, then you should go watch this city.The film was edgy, like there was not a really dull moment during 65 minutes...

Here's my rundown on last week's sports achievements for the country (that I know of).The Philippine Under-16 Men's Basketball team placed fourth on its Asian Championships. The winner (China) and runner-up (Korea) will represent Asia in the world championships.Despite placing fourth, the young athletes showed a lot of promise. They were...

All I know is that the previous week was not really normal to me. What's normal to me would include routinary work-office trips and same office tasks. It was almost always a given that I can almost always correctly predict what I would end up doing for the whole week without Monday actually starting. Same things everyday. Same stresses everyday. Same cubicle, same wall paint, same ID, same music, same monitor, even the same chatmates...

I know some will be offended by my graphicness and will find it an overkill for showing this. But if this could be my most startling show of condemnation on what had happened a week ago in Maguindanao, then so be it.I'm tired of our rotten society. I'm tired of corruption. I'm tired of the bullcrapped style of Philippine governance. I'm...

The Balut. The ultimate in Filipino delicacy. The end-all and be-all of all Pinoy street foods. The cheapest aphrodisiac. The king of all late-night snacks.

Best-selling Female Artist Of All Time. That's a humongous statement. A statement so huge, there is still room for some gigantic and freakishly huge. It means you are more commercially successful than Whitney Houston and Madonna. Mariah Carey is the only female music artist that I really adore, except maybe for Lauryn Hill.She's beautiful....

Andre Agassi was my very first tennis idol. Eight grand slam trophies. Former world number one. One of the few who has won a grand slam. Former Olympic champion. A great spokesperson to the sport of tennis.He was one of a few real tennis celebrities. Rivaled only by the likes of Martina Navratilova, Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.He was a presence...

They can be bad influences and it will really be a personal decision whether to stop the friendship and just be plain civil,...

I used to like Chiz Escudero. He positioned himself as this young politico out to save the country from political turmoil. He made the bashes and comentos requisite for an opposition leader.

I used to liken him to the Beast in The Beauty and The Beast. His 6'6" behemoth is beastly, add to that his always not-quite-shaven face.
