I’ve noticed girls here are more open about personal matters as compared to the girls I knew in Manila.
Back in Manila, I’ve never overheard girls discussing menstruation, cup size, choice of sanitary napkins, among other things. Yet I seem to be picking up a lot of things lately. There was this incident that [...]
Months after I read the Principia Discordia, I was faced with the choice of eating a hot dog bun or go hungry. It would have been awkward to decline the free offer, considering that nobody there, to my knowledge, has even heard of Discordianism. Explaining that philosophy in a Bible study (of all [...]
Although not the best (HP4 gets my vote), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is nevertheless a very important part of the saga. It gave the series closure. I know a deluge of fanfics is forthcoming, but these would not change my opinion. Harry Potter is over for me. It’s now the stuff of history, [...]
Despite the obvious differences between Manila and my city, I must say that in some ways my city has more liberal tendencies. It’s a no contest to declare Manila as the winner for her tall buildings, big malls, and obviously massive population. Yet despite my city’s diminutive aspects, it can not so [...]
It seems nothing is safe anymore. China fumbles in another export product: white rabbit! That candy you grew up with is actually laced with formaldehyde. That’s right. It’s the chemical they use to preserve your cat or toad for proper dissection. But I must add that formaldehyde also occurs [...]

“That will be a partial thickness burn,” then you continue, “I hope it’s only first degree.”
And true to your prediction, no blister forms. It was only a [...]
We have an image of ants as noble, self sacrificing, and industrious creatures. Most who have heard Aesop’s fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper would agree with that statement, but I’m not one of them. I find it unfair to place ants in a special light when in reality they are [...]
Nothing spoils an anticipation as much as a foiled presentation.
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer was worth watching because of the simple fact that its prequel was HOT. The characters were hot, but ROTSS was not HOT. The plot was flat and dry despite the parts trying to be cutsie with Mr. [...]
Considering the high cost of medical schooling, the Department of Health decided to offer the Pinoy MD scholarship program. The program was aimed to support the children of government workers, indigents, and tribal members. It gives a decent allowance, subsidized tuition (don’t know how many percent), among other benefits, but it did have [...]
Some people go through life knowing what they want want, striving for it, even while still young. Some people don’t know what they want. They strive for a lot of things, but accomplish nothing. Some people discover what they want only after striving after other things. They may or may not [...]
