I just had to come out of semi-hiatus to lend my support (however insignificant) to arbitrator Roger Kaplan’s decision to cut suspended Pacer Jermaine O’Neal’s suspension to fifteen (15) games, making him eligible for the Christmas day rematch between the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers.
Home for the Holidays
I’ll be going home for the holidays, and may not touch another computer till I get back, which will be next year. To keep those pesky spammers away, I’ve set comment moderation on, sorry for the inconvenience.
Some people reported problems with the skins, and and some haven’t. Anyway, the skins are: Core Style or Minimalist. [...]
Just another useless rant
On Movies…
I remember watching some feel-good movie – doesn’t matter which one, they’re all the same. You know, the kind that ends with happily ever after. The kind everybody wants to happen to them. So, anyway, I was watching this piece of crap, because, well, I was feeling poignant and melancholy at the time, and, [...]
The Christmas Spirit
Giving up the Ghost
As Christmases go, I can’t wait for this one to. I don’t wonder why people aren’t exuding that holiday cheer I’ve always reeked of when the “-ber” months come around. The general sentiment I feel as 2004 comes to a close (and not a moment too soon) is one of “just let [...]
‘Da King’ is dead
Long live the king
Color me curious, but why the hypocrisy all of a sudden? Yes, including my own. Because, frankly, I’m rather sad that he’s dead.
After all, that makes him the second icon in as many weeks to pass away. Who’s next? Michael Jackson? :P
End the Abuse, Dammit
Domestic Violence: Challenge
Crusaders against domestic violence claimed that out of ten Filipina wives, six are “battered wives.” It’s not a very comforting statistic, and it actually took me by surprise; while I knew the Philippines does have a fair amount of culture bias against women, I never realized that domestic violence could be so prevalent. [...]
I am so out of touch
Kitchie Nadal and other things
Ok, laugh later, but I swear I didn’t know Kitchie Nadal used to front Mojofly. I was always like “wow, she just came out of nowhere!” I’m bad with faces, I know. And names. And birthdays. And phone numbers. Doesn’t matter :)
Markku did a lot of us a favor by posting [...]
Manny and the 3K Battery
Yanig sa Taguig, Filipino pride, the road to boxing glory
One thing on my mind about this fight is Pacquiao had better win this fight, and in a big way. With Fashan “3K Battery” the overwhelming underdog despite defeating every Filipino fighter he’s gone on the ring with, Manny needs not just a win, he needs [...]
Dimebag Darrel killed at 38
Former Pantera guitarist, 3 others killed by gunman
Now I know how the fans of Randy Rhoades must have felt like when his plane crashed, of all places into their tour bus. Or all the Lenon fans. I have a long list of musicians who died an untimely death (aren’t they all?), from Duanne Allman, Cliff [...]
The Life of Poodle
Learning by Doing
Poodle, the hamster, is of the Siberian (also known as the Winter White) variety, but I prefer Phodopus sungoris sungoris. SMIRK. Even the scientific name is cute :D They’re supposed to be the dwarves of hamsterkind, but Poodle is a wonderful exception because he’s not really that small; well, still smaller than other [...]
