For some strange reason, cab drivers always seem to be eager to tell me their life story or have the urge to share their sage advice with me. I've heard a lot of things in cabs, from heartbreaking stories of families trying to survive in these hard times to detailed descriptions of a driver's numerous female conquests (often inside the cab) and even tips on how to pick up girls (though I've never

So there's this link going around the net about the horrors being inflicted on the book reading masses of the Philippines by evil, money eating leeches of Bureau of Customs. I've heard some opinions ranging from mild indifference (some books are luxury items, and I don't mind paying taxes for them) to outright shock and disgust at what they view as a corrupt Government body cashing in on our

Huh, more than a year. That's practically retirement. But here I am, and I really ought to start writing before I start feeling to lazy about it again, so let's get right down to it.

It started out a normal enough day. It was raining pretty hard when I woke up, so I decided I'd take my time with my morning rituals. I was feeling pretty calm, it wasn't hot, I didn't have any morning engagements that I needed to hurry to, I slept well the night before. I wasn't particularly happy, just really calm and subdued. I attributed it to the rain, it always had that effect on me.Right

I sort of remember that my horoscope for the year of the pig basically went something like..."It is a good year for learning, but no one will teach you except yourself..."Seriously.What sucks is that the "no one will teach part" is often true... the "learning" part isn't. Sigh.It's really stressful sometimes, not knowing what to do and not knowing what to ask. And because of this I'm was often

R.I.P. Captain AmericaI feel bad about this. Not because I like Captain America, I'm not a huge fan of people dressed as flags. I feel bad mainly because Captain America#25, the issue where he died is probably going to be a collector's item, and I didn't buy it because... well, it's Captain America. Oh well.Of course, anyone who knows comics knows that death is merely a temporary state of affairs

In 300, there is no space for drama or character development, only for blood and violence. ONLY FOR BLOOD! ONLY FOR VIOLENCE!There are no sentences in 300, sentences are for the weak!

I've been reading Small Gods by Terry Pratchett and I got into a very very rare philosphical state of mind. I figured since it was such a rare moment that I might as well post my brief moment of enlightenment before laziness or the TV got in the way.My epiphany (lame as it is) almost didn't make it to the net when, upon checking Po's latest post, I started on yet another hour long Youtube video

The past few months, I've been playing more and more Playstation 2 and a whole lot less PC. Mostly because my PC can't cope with the current slew of graphics intensive games. But all that changed when my monitor finally broke down and died. After that I was playing PS 2 games exclusively.But that all changed again when me and my brother chipped in to buy a 19", wide screen LCD monitor! Sweetness

I've been watching this series on the Discovery Channel called "The Greatest Ever" and I really like it. I don't really know why, there's just something about these "best ever" lists that appeals to me.If you've ever read my blog before (which I'm sure you have since my reader base probably hasn't increased since I started) you already know that I love to gush over the various things that

First off, I promised Jonas I'd plug his new career in drug dealing. I really tried to think of something good to say about it but I can't (hence the delay). You see, he sells sleeping pills (it's called Sleepasil, you can check out their website here), and he told me that his product is an all-natural and safe way to get some quality sleep. And while I do believe him, 'coz he's an honest guy, I

It's always fun to be part of some fan community, gives a nice sense of belonging. There's some enjoyment derived from expressing how incredibly, mind blowingly cool something is without running the risk of suddenly finding yourself alone after you declare that Spider-Man unmasking himself in front of the press is the "most totally wicked shocker in comics history, IMHO" (I love how you can flame

My brother came back from his month long film workshop in Prague last week and he brought home a lot of cool stuff like coasters of all the different beer brands he tasted (swiped from the different bars), keychains from a weapon shop (horned helm keychain!), a freaky puppet and a... well, a pop-up book. But my favorite are the different movie posters he bought.I really like the Mr. White quote..

I've hit 25 and I'm geekier than ever. My free time has been dominated by unabashedly geeky endeavors. Anime, comics, books and games. It's all so completely addicting! If I don't take care, I think the shirt my sister gave me for my birthday will be depressingly true for a long, long time...Still, it is kinda comforting knowing that I don't think I'll ever be bored again...oh and my sister

Move over anime! Graphic novels here I come!Blame it all on a walking vegetable from the swamps of Louisiana and the guy who made him famous, Alan Moore. I've been a huge fan of the guy ever since I read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen a few years back. Since then I've read a few other of his GN's like V for Vendetta and Watchmen, which erased all doubt in my mind that when it comes to

I've been busy again. And again, I've been busy NOT doing things that will be beneficial to me in the long run. My anime addiction has lessened a bit, the countless hours spent downloading and watching different anime series has been replaced by almost countless hours spent downloading and watching different anime movies. Mostly Hayao Miyazaki stuff... I watched Porco Rosso, Castle in the Sky,

...but why work when I can blog? Haven't posted in quite some time (surprise! surprise!) The difference this time around is that I had no intention of blogging the past month, no thoughts lingering inside my head just waiting for the right combination of kasipagan and free time. No strange stories to be told. I've been busy, that's all. "Busy with what?" you might ask (well you probably won't ask

I'm not really left handed.[insert ominous thunderclap + music]I just found out that I used to be right handed, but my older sister, wanting to have a brother who was left handed too, made me use my left hand when I was a kid.

The problem with my blog is that I always wait for something interesting to happen to me before I post. Now my friends know that strange (but never wonderful) things happen to me a lot, we don't know why, that's just the way it is, a law of nature perhaps (probably goes something like "Though dU=Q-W, something will always happen to Alekos that'll make him go "WTF?!".

I asked a lot of my friends if it was worth it to travel 5 hours to Baguio and spend more than a thousand bucks to meet with friends I haven't seen in 12 years, and then travel back to Manila; all in a 24 hour timeframe. My friends, being the smart and practical people that they are, said no. Thankfully, I'm an idiot.I did go to Baguio, I left an already good party just to spend time, money and

I've run out of jokes on how long it takes for me to post. In the end, it was reading mark's post that made me write again. He mentioned something about writing the first line of his first post for each month last year. I guess it just struck me as kinda funny that if I did this, I'd only have to write six lines.

I finally get a whole weekend off from work, and what do I do with my weekend? I spend it waiting. Waiting in tents, waiting in lines, waiting near fountains, waiting on the floor, waiting with friends, waiting without friends and a whole lot of other kinds of waiting in general. Was it worth it? Was having Neil Gaiman sign my books worth it?? Let's find out...Day 1I arrived at Powerplant at

I'm back! My blog has died and been resurrected so many times it would put Gokou to shame... so here we are again, months away from my last post, inspired to try and write once again because I've been added to Jam's ded list (Po kasi e...)I've just returned from around 24 hrs or so of waiting and standing in line to get my books signed by Neil Gaiman (which I'll post about in a day or two...maybe

Inspiration to write always comes at the most inopportune times - right before I fall asleep, while riding the train, 5 minutes before breaktime ends, while watching loading screens of pc games - which isn't so bad, unfortunately for me, inspiration lasts for just little more than 10 mins and comes in 2 week intervals. Sigh.Well, break's over, here comes my supervisor...

I’m back from yet another long blogging hiatus...kakatamad talaga mag blog e, plus I couldn’t think of anything decent to write about. That is until last night. Last night, I had to pass on having yet another DotA session and an FHM party (I’m such a geek) because my brother forced me to watch (for free of course) some independent movie that they say has a small cult following. The movie, if I

I know the recent Star Wars movies have been somewhat disappointing so I wasn't really excited about Episode III... that is until I saw the new trailer (The REAL trailer mind you.. not that crappy excuse of a teaser trailer using footage from Episode IV) ... Impressive... most impressive!Obi-wan vs. Anakin, Palpatine vs. Yoda, Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and wookies! The fanboy within has awakened

Hah! my post actually has nothing to do with last weekend ... but i figured my blog needed the attention... heheand ayaw pa kasi i-send ni oli ung pic kaya wala rin...I can't believe they're making me go to work next week! Ugh... Do I work hard 'til sunday so i can shave off some of my workload for Monday to Wednesday next week? Or accept that I have to go to work next week and might as well

I find it disturbing and sad that I can relate so much to the movie Sideways. Especially since I know wine like I know meat.

I went to the doctor a few days ago and he told me I might have kidney stones. So I had to shell out 900 bucks to get an ultrasound scan or whatever it is you call it to check. After they um... scanned... me, the doctor said was I was in the clear, and strangely, I was quite disappointed to hear that that. Don't get me wrong, I'm plenty thankful that I don't have kidney stones (or at least I have

How do you deliver donuts to a girl on valentines day while she's rehearsing w/o looking like a suitor to everyone else present?...impossible. I say eat the donuts and go on your merry way... heheOf course, what I say and think usually differs completely from what happens... =Þ

Galing, when I got to the Cubao MRT station this morning at around 5:40 AM, they were playing Pearl Jam's Black and the later Jeremy on the loudspeakers, and when I arrived the the Shaw station, they were playing an acoustic version of Times Like These by the Foo Fighters...reminded me of the repressed StarFM (Love radio pla sabi ni jae..hehe) DJ Jaemark told me about...cool Had another DotA

Things I almost put inside the MRT gate card reading thingy(What DO you call it anyway? Seems my vocabulary went on vacation, got lost in a jungle, and then ended up being eaten by cannibals) 1. An LRT card (not that bad of an error they serve the same purpose,and have the same size and shape) 2. My ID (same size and shape...again, not that bad) 3. A 10 peso coin (I must have been reminiscing

Hooray! It's my second post of the month.. actually I'm writing this just a few minutes after I wrote my last one, I changed the dates since I figured no one would check my blog often enough to notice... hehe I had a rare two day weekend this..um.. weekend, and what better way to spend it than by having a marathon! Two marathon's actually, I watched around 18 episodes of 24 (season three), 9

Bleh, I thought I was on a roll with my 3 posts in a day stint last month... guess not. Nevertheless, I'm gona try to at least stick to my 1 post a month quota, so here it is... First some old yet breaking news... I finally did it!! I broke my 2 digit bowling curse! Got myself a 102 a couple of weeks ago... Yay for me! I've graduated from "sucky bowler" to a "sucky bowler who got lucky and

In memory of the famous actor who recently passed away, I used up a bit more of my meager savings and bought myself a copy of the extended edition of Return of the King. It cost me a quite a lot so I hope my friends understand my not having bought any gifts for them..hehe. I love it! 50 minutess of glorious new footage! Plus just looking at the complete set of extended editions side by side is

Im happy to say that despite my present addiction to pc games, my love of books has recently returned. Though my taste in books has changed (I tend to favor lighthearted, humorous novels, thanks to having my attention span reduced to that of a boy who's been kept in an attic for most of his life and then suddenly brought to toy kingdom), at least I can finally stem the rapid rate of brain cell

I never thought my blog would really become a monthly thing, but I guess when you spend most of your time at work you tend to use your free time for more important things like games and other stuff... mostly games. And boy do I have a lot of those, I recently put my well earned overtime money to good use and bought myself a new GeForce FX 5700 video card, after which I bought all those games I

O my gulay! May blog nga pala ako! hehe It's bad enough that my blog has no substantial content, now it has no substantial content that isn't updated. So I guess it's about time I updated it. First, work related stuff... A few weeks ago, my supervisor called in sick, which left me in charge of the whole department. It was pretty scary at first; being in charge of people twice your age... but

Does having a 12 hour workday mean that you can no longer do the things you love? Of course not! All you need is some time management... here's my sched for a typical day: 4:45-5:25 am => wake up,change, breakfast 5:25-5:59 am => commute to work 6:00-7:00 am => "work" 7:00-7:45 am => nap time (breakfast break here at work) 7:45-11:00 am => "work" 11:00-11:15am => internet (lunch break) 11:

How can you tell when a guy is a true blue Simpsons fan? When he sends an email to what he thinks is homer Simpson's email address (it's chunkylover53@aol.com) after watching an episode. I don't know why, but right after a scene where Homer gives his email addy to some private investigator I immediately wrote it down(Homer was kind enough to repeat it, and even clarified that there was no space

It's finally happened... and just 2 posts into my blog too, *sigh*. Lack of inspiration (and time to find..or meet inspiration) has led me to something i think most newbie bloggers experience... the "wala lang" post, a post utterly devoid of content, information (even the useless sort)or anything of value, written just for the sake of writing something. Sad. I just hope inspiration hits me soon -

I was helping my mom search for info on Michelangelo's The Last Judgement (Which made me add "visit the Sistine Chapel" to my very long term to do list) when I came across a website that had a "death clock" which basically estimates how long you have to live based on a few bits of data.. it was even kind enough to show the countdown of how many secons you have to live... and though i'm not

Finally! The event no one has been waiting for! My very own blog! *horns sound in the background, scattered applauses (mostly from family members and some polite friends) quickly followed by boos and few thrown vegetables...(mmm.. tossed salad)* alas I can't think of a name for it, but strangely enough, I had no problem thinking of an address for it... *brief pause as lone reader looks at the
