I’ve been telebingeing on “Witch Blade” awhile ago and I must say, Yancy Butler is the original bad-ass chick! Ages before Angeline Jolie came on the scene.
Such a pity she wasn’t given more gigs…

Late Night Quips
There’s this lawyer guy talking on TV – it’s an infomercial. He’s promoting the services of his law firm which specializes in bankruptcy law. There’s a fee indicated at the top of the screen, if I remember correctly it says $100. Then the guy lying next to me says, “pano ka makakapagbayad nung $100 fee [...]

Diskarteng Tamad: Pinakbet
Ilocano version:
assorted veggies; chopped (usually ampalaya, eggplant, sitaw, okra, etc)
tomatoes (3 small, or 2 medium)
garlic
bagoong Pangasinan (aka bagoong isda)
pork cut into small cubes
- boil the pork in enough water to cover the pieces; cook until there’s no more water and the meat has begun to cook in it’s own oil; put in the chopped garlic [...]

Senator Escudero’s slant
In a recent editorial by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the subject was Senator Francis Escudero. Being a fan, I thought I’d take a gander at it.
Nakakadismaya. Hindi ko maintindihan bakit kinakailangang mag-ingat siya sa pananalita, lalo na sa partido ni GMA?
*********************************************
Usap kami ni B. Sinend ko sa kanya yung article eh. Whatever hope he harbored [...]

Break!
And that…was the end of the summer term. Thank God for the break though. Right to the very last day, it was still frantic…hectic…toxic…I dunno, take your pick!
I thought take-home exams were a boon (we were given this option in one subject), but it turns out, you’re better off just taking the standard type in [...]

Pause Muna
I have 3 final exams, 2 research assignments, and a presentation all for next week – signaling the conclusion of the Summer Term. So pause-blogging muna tayo.

Buwaya!!!
Nung unang balik ko sa Pilipinas, medyo nauuso na ang Crocs. Di ko lang alam kung na-pick up na talaga ngayon. Kasi kahit ako, medyo iffy nung nakita ko siya eh. It’s butt-ugly. Period. Kaso, pag nasukat mo na, ay syet, para kang naglalakad sa marshmallow maghapon. At feet-friendly talaga siya – apparently, dehins daw [...]

The Fruitcakes Are Back
After six years, the Eraserheads are reuniting for a one-night concert…and we cannot even watch!
Kainis. To think na kapanahunan pa naman namin yun. Tapos, it’s highly unlikely they’d all get back together, so that makes this concert doubly special. Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!
Hay…I remember yesterday…the world was so young (“go dance with lola” , syet, napa-Bear Brand [...]

Diskarteng Tamad: Tapa

soy sauce
vinegar
sugar
garlic
onion
ground pepper
chop garlic and onions finely
put in the pan together with the chopped beef
there will be no sautéing involved, so don’t light the stove yet
stir in soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and pepper (to have a better idea of how your tapa will taste, mix the liquid ingredients + sugar in a separate small bowl [...]

Lions for Lambs – 4 stars
I do not understand why this movie was panned by critics. Have their standards gone too low that they cannot appreciate a movie that challenges their mind-set? Let me see, “No Country For Old Men” got five stars from nearly all the critics (not to mention vigorous Academy nods) and it was almost sticky with [...]

Packing for the Bears?
Wonder if he’ll chose to go with the Bears? The Bears sure need a good QB right now. If the past season is any gauge, Rex Grossman cannot possibly pull a miracle against the two formidable teams of SuperBowl XLII – the Giants and the Patriots. If Brett Favre were to sign up with the [...]

6 Questions
I am so procrastinating right now…I’ve to do some readings and projects yet it is difficult to do something when you’re mind is not totally on it, so…meme muna tayo:
There were some rules prefacing this tag but I figured it’s mostly the same crap for almost all tags I’ve encountered so I just lopped it [...]

Late Night Commute
I finished my exam really late, last Tuesday night. I wasn’t the only one though. The exam was divided into four parts, with each part entailing a certain degree of physically browsing around the library for the relevant book (fortunately, the exam was held at the library ). I found it hard to [...]

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?
Up until college, you can be asked that question. But when you’ve gone and done the office routine for more than 5 years, you just ask yourself, “what do I want to do when I grow up?”. I thought I was the only one with this question niggling at the back of their minds, and [...]

(not the) Taste of Chicago
Grabe. Overrated. Expensive. So not going back.
Not even for this scrumptious-looking turkey leg. HUGE! (Laki no? Palad yan ng asawa ko, pero lagpas pa rin yung leg!) But I meant, huge disappointment. Malansa, at walang lasa.
The part I actually enjoyed? Is when we left the park and crossed Lake Shore Drive to hang by [...]
