Anne Curtis Scandal Video. Oh Please

The reported sex scandals. Look, it’s not a scandal. The fact that people have sex is not a scandal.
I think the bigger scandal is. The IQ of these individuals to actually have sex in front of the camera. If one thing, these days, you really aren’t sure if these are accidents or purposeful actions by […]

A Streetchild Named JunJun

This is a picture by an excellent photographer Parc Cruz. It is a Brazilian child. It reminded me of this street child that I saw in Cebu. I can’t help but wonder what has happened to him. I gave him a few pesos, knowing and hoping he would buy some […]

Former Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan has been Captured

Former General, former Senator, and long time coup plotter, Gringo Honasan has been captured. There’s a lot of conflicting reports on exactly how he was arrested. It was in a subdivision in Makati after “brief chase”. The Agence France-Presse reported that Honasan may have even jumped out of a moving car. […]

The Fiesta Madness of The Philippines

In The Philippines, at the risk of starvation, a person can literally be fed just by moving from baryo to baryo, town to town, city to city, province to province. Here in The Philippines, we have more fiestas than we have people. You don’t need to make dinner, you just need to find […]

An Interview with Philippine Gamer Mitzie Eusebio

When you think about gaming, about Need For Speed, Starcraft, Warcraft, Counter Strike, and other PC Games, you think of highschool boys, and college guys in front of their PCs or at the local internet cafes. But, what if you added cute with long, black, silky hair to the list of adjectives? Confused […]

Doctors Are Not Priests. Filipinas Beware!

Ok, so you thought you had a bad doctor? even a bad priest? But what about a bad doctor-priest?
Don’t know what that is?
Well, apparently this family planning doctor in london, Dr. Joyce Pratt, told a patient she needed an exorcism. The doctor said that there was something sinister moving inside of her. […]

Here’s how it goes. I post the first sentence and pass it on to another […]

Butiki: Ode to The Philippine Gecko

Love it or not, the butiki is as filipino as… (thinking)…. (thinking)… pan-de-sal…
Here’s a poem that just came to me while looking up at the ceiling one day.

Jeepneys and Lamborghini

When I was just a kid, my brother was a subscriber of Car & Driver. So, I was, at an early age, in love with cars. Here in The Philippines, we have our own kind of motor vehicles. The Jeepney, the Pajero, the man-made metal cars that we are so famous for.
But, […]

Fake Sunglasses. Replicas. They Are Dangerous!

I hate to do this to all Filipino Fashionistas, but hey, Real Chanel Sunglasses do not cost P100!
And if you think you’re getting a bargain because they look so darn good, then think again. Despite kiosks upon kiosks that can be found in any downtown in The Philippines, you know the ones that sell […]

Constituent Assembly? Please Not With The Arroyo Administration!

I think that we have to be cognisant of the fact that this administration is THE WRONG ADMINISTRATION to implement a new constitution.
It may be that, in fact, a parliamentary system will help our nation move forward. But we should also take into consideration, the party and individuals that will be making the decision […]

Arnis: The Filipino Art of Hand, Foot, and Stick Fighting

I was talking to a friend today (here in the U.S.) while we were having some coffee. He’s a real martial arts junkie, and he asked me about Arnis. I was surprised that he knew what it was, and I was a bit ashamed as well that I didn’t know more about it. A lot […]

Will Arroyo Supporters Face The Same Fate As U.S. Republicans?

Will Arroyo and her party members share the same fate as the Republican of The United States? Already, many opposition leaders are thinking exactly that. And I share their thoughts. I don’t necessecarily feel that the Administration has done a bad job, in fact there has been great deal of improvements that […]
