Mr. Evil Grin girlfriend-puncher must be grinning from ear-to-ear right now. He got away into having his sweet and innocent girlfriend into marrying him a few months from now.
He won the battle over me. And yes, I'm a sore loser.
I was never the mum-of-the-girlfriend's pick. I was never given that chance. Mum even stood by Mr. Evil Grin...

I haven't blogged the past 6 weeks (and not regretting it). Tired of blogging. Tired to type down and finish posts. Tired to check on other peoples' blogs. Tired of thinking about what things to blog about. Tired about everything that involves blogging - to the point of feeling sick looking at pictures of bloggers, their events and their...

No matter how much I love my adobo, I think the vinegar/soy sauce/garlic mixture is too bland for my tongue. That's why at home, I've been adding a few more stuff to intensify my adobo experience. I add coconut milk, ginger and more garlic. Sometimes, I add fresh red onions in for a stronger kick. And more recently, I've been flaking my...

I swear I was trying to come up with a different article - until I saw a picture of this mother who I thought exuded an alpha female attitude. She annoys me a lot whenever I get to see her and the sweat marks on the lines of her multi-layered neck didn't help much either.
Alpha dogs (for me) can be classified into 2 categories, the ones...

Nothing's much worse reading than an article laced with a ton of negative vibes. Who wants to depress themselves by reading through paragraphs-long rants anyways? I guess there are types of people who would want to read that: 1.) a friend or a family - of course they love you. 2.) a mature individual who's interested to read through people's thoughts. 3.) a curious cat who wants to read because he just wants to and 4.) a fellow...

Waking up early on a Friday wasn't too bad of a chore after all. For a person who pretty much is in-charged of his time and schedule, I was compelled to be up a little bit earlier for an engagement I committed to accomplish that Friday morning. I was invited to cover the launching of iProspect Philippines at Robot in Makati City. And honestly,...

If there is one basketball player who single-handedly defeated the Philippine Basketball team today on its FIBA Asia Championships semifinal match-up against Jordan, it was this man. Rasheim Wright. A naturalized Jordanian originally from the United States.
Three years of preparing and hoping for a London Olympics stint ended with a tough-to-accept...

In the most masculine of movies, there I was, sobbing and reminiscing about my life. THE Ely Buendia, on a cameo, appeared to Odie (the character Jason Abalos was playing in the movie Rakenrol) and taught him a valuable life lesson: Not everyone's been given the chance to do what they really wanted to do in life. You can get stuck inside...

I admit, it can be worry-some and lonely. Sometimes, to the point of being paranoid about it. Whenever friends cross the ocean to tread on unknown but promise-filled waters, I'm left with no choice but to stay on my dry ground.
Throughout my life, I've been taught to tread that ocean as soon as I get the chance to. To me and my world, treading...

Like almost the entire human population, I'm afraid of angry and barking dogs. I've never been beaten by a dog, which makes that fear double. I remember getting barked upon and chased by my grandmother's huge Rotweiler and German Shepherd and that proved to one scary stuff I endured as a kid.
However, I love friendly dogs. The types that...

I can vividly remember we had two balikbayan boxes full of Archie comics. We had centerfold posters splattered on our bedroom wall (I used to share a large bedroom with my siblings when we were kids), even calendars and the Lisa Frank posters that go with them (they're Lisa Frank members). In one way, we related on every single member of...

Tim Cone will always be remembered in the mid to late 90s, right when PBA was certainly at its glory days. Alaska and Tim Cone will be hard to separate, just the same...

Kinda obvious why Bar Refaeli is a model.
We live in a time wherein everyone can be anybody they put their mind into. Sister Act II proudly declared that "if you wake up each morning and all you think about is singing, then maybe you are a singer". The same thing goes with other things. As long as you put your mind into it, with sheer...

I was supposedly thinking about what to blog about right now. I have a few topics in mind when suddenly, I went *cough cough* again. I'm planning to use the nebulizer for the second time in 24 hours. And I hope this will definitely improve my situation.

This has got to be the basketball fan's dream. To see his idols play the game right before his eyes in person. Since watching an LA Lakers game in Los Angeles would be expensive, I settled for the second best option, to see Kobe Bryant LIVE here in Manila.
Short of exaggerating, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event that I for sure would cherish...

In a shocking turn of events, Amy Winehouse is now dead. She was found lifeless on her London home. Police has yet to confirm the cause of her death but it has been widely speculated to be caused by drug overdose.

Yup, she is the alleged Azkals rape victim. Her name is Amanda Coling. A-M-A-N-D-A C-O-L-I-N-G. Reason why I had to emphasize on that is because, if ever you meet this girl on a bar somewhere, you better try to steer clear unless you'd be okay with rape allegiations, should you coosome-twosome with her.

Why are Filipinos overly-dramatic? Why do Filipinos love confrontational scenes with breaking-down-and-cry-while-falling-to-your-knees scenarios? Why is it when we're depressed, the most OA of descriptions slip off of our tongues? Why is it when we're on a defensive mode, we try to secrete out all of the issues that we got to the point of...

For the first time in my life, I'm swearing off chickens. The saltiness of the fried skin, the moist flesh from the thigh part, the golden brown finished product - they all don't appeal to me right now. For the first time in my life, I'm swearing off fried chickens.

When I first learned about blogging back in 2005, it got me really curious.

I tried hard to hate her for winning over Maria Sharapova. The Wimbledon trophy could be hers but this Petra Kvitova maybe just wanted it more. She burst out into the scene last year by virtue of her reaching the semis of Wimbledon last year. Had a couple of solid results after that. Then last February, she defeated then world number...

Worse, I've written only once this month. Which brings...

July 9, 2010. The American Airlines Arena was packed with 10,000 screaming fans. Three men on white Miami Heat jerseys appeared slowly on the smoke-filled arena, grooving right next to an uptempo beat signalling the start of a wild summer night's party.
One of the three men who wore the jersey number 6 spoke much to the delight of the deafening...

At least give Kobe Bryant some props for making it look easy for the Dallas Mavericks.
