I was browsing through my old things when I came across the box which used to hold my old Nike Air Max 360’s. To the people who know me, you know how much I love running shoes. Let’s just say this uninspired post is for all the people who have have had to say goodbye to a pair of shoes that held any kind of monetary or sentimental value.
Anyway, if anyone from Nike Philippines chances upon this blog, don’t worry, I still patronize your stuff.
For those who are planning on letting out a wise crack about my poem, uunahan ko na kayo, the poem really sucks and feels desperate
My Beloved 360’s
(In Memoriam of my pierced Nike Air Max 360’s)
Last year, I bought 360’s for a grand above my usual budget.
There was something about the sneaks that made me lust for it.
Was it the soles? Maybe.
I would think it […]

As of seven in the evening, Cavite City time, I am sick again. My nose has been dripping with snot for quite sometime now, and I really hate it. If there are two common illnesses that I hate having, they would be cough and colds. When I have a cough, I can hardly breathe. And when I have colds, I spread snot all the time.
Ewww. Enough about that.
Anyway, there are so many things to tell you, that I decided not to blog about it all in one go.
Ms. A, the most awaited beauty pageant in school, was finally held last Thursday. Too bad I wasn’t able to take a picture of the stage, or of any picture during the event at all, considering the fact that I was actually there assisting the contestants for their performances. I have to settle for this picture from one of my favorite movies instead:I […]

Props to Mr. Amaechi for coming out of the closet after a few years of being an NBA player. Just think, win or lose, the after game trips to the communal showers must have been worth it. Anyway, that’s not what this post is about.
There’s just a lingering thought in my mind
WHY PRO ATHLETES HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE FACE TO FACE THING during altercations, weigh-ins, and press conferences. To boxing promoters, it keeps the pay-per-view orders up. But the athletes themselves? C’mon, you become nothing more than puppets just waiting to be embarrassed on national television. Okay fine, they become a few million dollars richer, but that’s beside the point. We’re talking about your male gusto here.
Take this video for example, of two UFC fighters who just went a little too far with the intimidation thing.
UBER GAYNESS RATING: 7
I gave this video a 7 because it took the […]

It’s been more than twenty days since December rolled in, and traffic around the metropolis has just been horrible. Because of the Christmas rush (as well as the much awaited 13th month pay), the volume of people that troop to the malls increases tenfold. Hour long waits going into malls. Ten-meter-per-minute travel time on Edsa. Ugh.
If there’s one thing I’ll be glad about once Christmas is over, it’s that cab drivers will no longer be able to take advantage of daily commuters.

Some years back, a group of friends and I went to Zambales. We ended up in the town of San Narciso. We planned to go to Iba, (which was an additional 45 km apart from the 140-160 km ride from Manila) but since we were only scheduled for a day trip, we decided to spend the day in Crystal Beach in San Narciso.
Honestly, the resort was (and apparently still) not impressive but what got our attention was surfing.
It was that day in 2003 that prefaced my journey to the waves.
Years after, I found myself back in Zambales at the same resort. This time, I have become a weekend warrior braving the waves bit by bit.
Every weekend me, my Mahal and Master Z (our idol Zambales local surfer) try to check various spots with great waves, may it be 1, 2, 3 or an overhead, as long as its nothing like we have ridden the previous week–always new, always a different ride.

I really hated what happened yesterday.
First, I am really disappointed with some kids.
Second, I was disappointed with more kids again.
And I refuse to live with pigs.
Third:I learned and realized several things, though.- I realized that to them, one’s sociability can be measured by agreeing to have a Christmas party. I have a formula for that:
Sociability = (Hypocrisy + Cupidity) Self-righteousness
See? I am a mathematician too.
-Never have I felt so primitive in my entire life because of refusing to eat steak.
- Aloe vera shampoo is good for old, bald men. I guess it strengthens their hair follicles.
Sigh.
I’ll write soon.

This is just going to be really quick, since I have other things to do. I’ll probably write in detail tomorrow.
Cupidity is a sin, kids. Remember that. Learn to care for others and not only for your own money.Next thing:A high school friend of mine committed suicide. It still hasn’t sunk into my senses yet. We’re going to visit her grave tomorrow.
Sigh.
And last one:I think they’re over. Or not. Who cares? I told myself that I am not going to talk about them anymore… He’s over with Sadako! wahaha… That serves Sadako right. That serves her right! hahahahahahaha!!!!
Ahem.
Okay. Again, who cares?

Mitch Albom’s second novel tells the bittersweet tale of a man named Eddie, a maintenance person for an amusement park where he spent his whole life doing seemingly mundane things. Eddie feels that his repetitive days and routines were the “be all and end all” of his existence, and therefore saw himself and his life as a waste. When one of the amusement park rides threatens to kill a little girl, Eddie dived and saved her–sacrificing his life in the process. He then wakes up in heaven to find that his life and death on Earth is not really the end–in fact, it was only the beginning.
The first sentence of The Five People You Meet in Heaven grabs you by the neck, breathes into you and leaves you gasping and holding on until the novel’s very last word. It shows how nothing in life is an accident, how souls are […]

Yeah, I know. The title is quite ironic.
Are you the type of person who’s very similar to Uncle Scrooge when it comes to gift-giving? Are you the type who would rather stay at home and count your money or just feed on something inside your trusty fridge rather than mingle with other people? Do you often think that gift-giving is just a waste of time, and that it would be better if you would spend your money on yourself?
Well, I have two things to tell you: first, you are a selfish, no good glutton. Second, I can clearly relate to what you are experiencing.When I was in my previous work, I had a knack for conjuring up plans for exchange gifts. Normally, there would be several categories in which the gifts were supposed to qualify in. When I was in Sencor, we had about a month or two when we […]
