Just before the clock strikes September 1st here in the Philippines, allow me to share a few things:*For the nth time, I feel lonely again. Only this time, the person I confide with the most isn't there (deliberately) to help me out and comfort me. Besides, I don't think that person completely understands me. Why make the effort right?*Since I got no one to share problems with, some malicious forces from the inside earth creep...

STATEMENT OF JAPETH AGUILARWhen I returned home after graduating from Western Kentucky University it was mainly because I wanted the chance to play for the Philippines in the FIBA Asia Championships and feel the pride that comes from playing for my country.Unfortunately it didn’t go too well. But having seen first hand what it was like,...

Ruben Studdard was the American Idol Season 2 winner. The one of only two American Idol seasons that weren't shown here in the Philippines. He was that season's teddy bear and people showered him with so much love, they made him that season's winner. Even the judges hailed his victory way before the final showdown, which he made and pit...

This will be one short post.Are bloggers the new attention whores?Have we supplanted the likes of Snooky Serna, Angelika Jones, and what-nots in trying to get people's attentions?This makes blogging quite puke-y. Where did the original online journal g...

For me, this single event encapsulated the best modern music had to offer. Thirty-two different acts performed over the course of four days. I think you guys know that already.Anybody who knows music should agree with me.Meanwhile, I will watch the Woodstock '69 DVD to complete my trip down memory lan...

That was pretty sick. Not a single Asian candidate made it thru into this year's Miss Universe. While Miss Venezuela was a worthy winner (one of only two candidates who made sensible responses), I thought Miss Australia would win it since she was the other one who made a good answer, aside from Miss Venezuela. The Aussie finished 4th. I couldn't answer why Misses Dominican Republic and Kosovo got higher Q&A scores than Miss...

One thing I love about my blogging is that I don't get paid to write about stuff. Which means, I have the freedom to write and feature anyone and everyone I thought that would be worth my interest. Well, I once agreed to get paid (I felt like a whore) for an event but the money given to me couldn't even pay a month's worth of cellphone fees.I...

At the end of it all, we all have to give these guys the round of applause they greatly deserved.We shouted, pumped our fists, groaned, sweat, jumped, and cursed with them althroughout the FIBA Asian Championship. We hated that man-monster from Taiwan or that giant from Korea and be helpless whenever our precious players had to endure the...

"Is Horatio really dead?" was the one question my mom kept on asking me. As a response, I always answer with a "yes, because he can't keep a straight face althroughout the show."But seriously, did the show producers let their superstar die on the show? That would have been terrific! Or should this be a set-up, let it be an out-of-this-world...

I can't believe it. The Ten Most Influential Blogs of 2009 has been revealed. It is a listing of the best Filipino blogs that have come up this year or at least less than a year old. I think.I thought Good Times Manila was a shoo-in cos it was funny, sarcastic, and witty. It was an instant hit, proof of it would be the hundreds of comments it receives per post. I could only dream of having such a huge number of following. It...

Until now...

What happened more than twelve hours ago was history. I watched the whole proceedings from start until the headstone was finally cemented back in, never have I felt such enormous pride for being a Filipino.Ted Failon (the newsanchor) was right. We only realize the worth of what Cory did for the country only after her death. If I were to...

I've been deleting and typing and deleting and typing and deleting and typing again for an introductory statement but hmmm, I'd rather give up.I don't know what to say about this commercial! It was perfect. From the product itself, the jingle, the lame hairdo of one of the guys (the spiked haired one) to the main character of the TVC. They pretty much concocted the perfect storm.No more lonely ric...

"We'll have to let you go," was the one sentence my new boss uttered that kinda like turned my world around. How can one person lose 2 jobs in 2 weeks? First was a lay-off, second was me getting the axe from my boss.I can't help it. They thought I wouldn't need any learning curve for my job. They thought marketing people know a whole lot about creating online video games. They thought I could figure everything out right away."I...
