Presidential Candidates for 2010 (Pic by Ronin Bautista)
I managed to magnet some helpful tickets for today’s First Edition Presidential Debate by the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Yes, they came to me and not vice versa. Lol. Having the venue at the UP Theatre, I was eerily excited to see the “presidentiables” for this coming national elections and I thought this was certainly a lucky chance for the rest of the UP population. Came this morning, from a hotel here in Pasay, I rushed to my school to witness the event. And to plunk an understatement, I really had FUN. ( Read more… )

Scarves, bangles, ripped jeans, flowy dresses and boots broke the conventional urban scene with UP JMA’s Boheme at the RCBC Hexagon Lounge, last January 30. The carefree boho spirit flickered in the black lights non-traditional art exhibit rendering the people wild yet blithe. Bohemian-inspired installation arts pieces were showcased, serving as one of the highlights of the artsy event. ( Read more… )
The reason why I especially liked am afflicted Tuesdays is because I have no class. Particularly, I get to see and chat up with fellow interesting people in CMC such that I go to school (and spend time and money) just for the hell of it.
A while ago, I realized that I’ve gone mad and shallow on things which aren’t necessarily funny in the first place. First, I let my friends Cake, Riziel and Jean view this video about an orally disconfigured woman hiring for Las Vegas models. They found it actually funny but as for me, I was mightily hysterical after viewing it for like the 15th time. Play the video above NOW and prepare to die!!! (I should download it an play it on loop). ( Read more… )
So my friend Cake posted a video in Facebook (yes you can practically post anything– except porn) which really was hilarious to death. Lady Gaga’s sensational Bad Romance has really got into our spine and this time (I can hear you humming Rah rah rah ah ah…), some seriously appropriate spoof video is trying to, well, go gaga. It has been my LSS for the whole past month. I mean who else would hesitate to undergo Gagaism cult??? ( Read more… )
So whoever thought one of my serious crushes Blake Lively would be typecast as the dumb, seasonally bad girl heiress Serena Van der Woodsen (of Gossip Girl), you just need to swallow yourself now. NOOOOW! Yes my friends, Blake is going damsel-in-distress this time as Carol Ferris, apple of the eye of Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern.
Aside from her hilarious-cum-stupid stint in Saturday Night Live, here she is again proving how versatile she could go. If Blake was an actress in the Philippines, she could’ve gone wearing scanty attires and appearing in no less than three racy men’s magazines if you know what I mean. And astonishingly, who else might be Green Lantern but, oh noes not again, Ryan Reynolds?!! I thought he was doing Deadpool. ( Read more… )
[Twas originally posted last Thursday night in my Facebook notes. Perhaps, the most traumatizing event in my campus life.] So how bitter can I be with thesis? During the holidays, I spent one-fourths of it eating, sleeping and drinking. And the rest on plain worrying about thesis. I seemed to have alloted a lot of time developing teen wrinkles. I couldn’t help it, our deadline for the first draft attempted to start the year with its own… and with fireworks. Real fireworks. ( Read more… )
Ever since I escaped the normal traditions of making noise with the neighborhood, lighting up perilous pyrotechnics and jumping to achieve a gorgeous height (now you know why I’m tall), I somehow didn’t appreciate New Year’s eve anymore. Technically, it’s just scrapping out your former calendar and hanging a new one. It’s the time where people would ingest gallons of caffeine for that savvy Starbucks organizer, and the industry of lucky charms would parade to our doorsteps. Yes, it’s a mania but again I don’t think these rituals are practical. Wearing polka dots and lots of red is insane and profit-oriented strategies are wallet-shrinking. New Year is supposed to be looking back and assessing yourself. Have you become better? Worse? Those are the real questions. ( Read more… )
