Adult series like SATC and situational comedies like Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond have been so influential to so many people, so much so, that even reruns are still enjoying good viewership. Having said that, it is useful to note that while they have affected our lives in so many ways (well, at least those of us who [...]

Dispelling A Comfortable Myth
Why? Why did she have to do this?? My 7 books are resting quite happily on the shelf after being read and reread more than a couple of times each. She couldn’t have left well enough alone! I just can’t believe this.
Dumbledore?? Gay??????? Naman eh!!!!!!!!!

Glorietta Bombing …again
Kawawa naman ang mga kababayan ko. Kinaplog na naman ng mga terorista. Di ko masabi kung napigilan sanang nangyari ‘to, o wala talagang kawalan. Kasi sabi nung isang report, isang delivery van daw ang nagpasok ng bomba kaya ang direksyon ng pagsabog, mula baba pataas, dahil galing siguro sa basement yung bomba. Kaso pwede rin [...]

Window-shopping
Yeah, because that’s about all I can afford right now.
Anyway, it was a chilly afternoon when B and I decided to head downtown just to browse around the shops along the Magnificent Mile. Mamasyal ba? Fortified with lunch, we started from Jackson and made our way to Michigan Avenue, past the parks and museums, and [...]

Losses
First, the Cubs lost to the Diamondbacks in the first round of the playoffs. Then the White Sox, well, forget about it. Now today, over breakfast (around 1400hrs – or what would be ‘after lunch’ for normal people), I watched the Bears got pummeled by the Vikings. The Vikings, for crying out loud!! (I would’ve understood [...]

Big Eyes, Small Eyes
I’ve been wondering – and I really don’t care how stupid this sounds – if you have big eyes, do you see more of your surroundings? If small, then do you see less?
(Sigh) I really need to go back to work….

Dare I Hope?
The optimist in me cringed at some predictions I heard some time ago. Apparently, there is no bright future looming for the Philippines. No significant economic improvement in sight. Especially so, because there doesn’t seem to be a political figure with the potential to be a Mahathir or a Lee Kuan Yew, in sight. However, [...]

Pacquiao, A National Hero? Why Not?
Woohoo!!! Nanalo na naman si Pacquiao! Alam ko mababaw pero nung tinanong ko yang title na yan sa sarili ko, bakit nga naman hindi? Alam ko rin nadagdagan na naman milyones niya, pero ano ngayon? Wala naman akong pakelam sa pera niya eh, pinaghirapan niya yun. Nagkandabasag-basag ang panga at ilong niya para kumita ng ganon. [...]

Racial Slurs…Again
I was leafing through last month’s issue of a magazine while intermittently surfing the net and listening to the news on TV (not sure if Comcast has a term for that type of multitasking yet), when I heard something that made my jaw drop. Literally. WTF??? Are you kidding me?? Right here in Chicago??? Well, here we go again. The [...]

Mga Kainan
Ba’t ganon? Kung sino pa yung di gano masarap magluto, yun pa yung may perang pang-negosyo? Di ko naman masasabing kaunti yung mga kainang Pinoy dito. Pero bilang sa iisang kamay yung masasarap kainan. Nakakainis eh. Kunsabagay, di lang dito, maski sa Pinas. Maraming nagtatayo ng kainan na di naman kaaya-aya ang pagkain.
Halimbawa na lang, [...]
