And I'm off to Taipei, Taiwan! 9:45 AM
Land of cheap electronics, the tallest building in the world and, of course, F4!
Two weeks of mandarin mayhem, I'm sure.

Promiscuity 101 5:22 PM
Living in the new millenium requires us to be equal oppurtunity guys & gals - unselective, casual and indiscriminate. We try to open our doors to any stranger and engage in conversation any passerby. But there are ways to be accomodating without appearing easy. And there are ways to be a tease without being inappropriate.
Here are some tips:
1) When drinking a glass of water, slowly try to trace the path of the water as it passes through your throat or wipe a bead of sweat out of your brow. Then, try to blow a bit of air. When you catch somebody's attention (guy or girl), whisper "Hi."
2) When you accidentially (or intentionally) bump into someone you like, try not to say "Oh, do you work out" to compliment their sexy bod. Unknowingly say "Hmm.. hard muscles... soft skin..." then act surprise and blurt "Oh.. did I say that out loud?"
3) To compliment sombody's musk or eu natural, thievingly brush your nose through their hair and say something like "You sure remind me of my sneakers" or "Ohh... I miss my dog". Then quickly add "Can my nose stay in your hair for a while?"
4) Spread rumours about you and your fantasy beau having fleeting make out sessions during office hours. When your love puppy confronts you about this, casually reply "Now... would it be so bad if it were true?"
5) If your long time crush is just not giving you the time of day, slip him or her a note or an email saying "Ok... I have about 250 bucks in my wallet... I know you're busy but... I just need you to have sex with me... one time... we don't even have to cuddle..."

Weird Obsessions 6:42 PM
Tech Trends
I am dying waiting for the release of the all new Nokia N80. It should have been out by now (in Greenhills at least). But it seems that Nokia is going to make me wait a little bit more. Can't wait... can't wait...
Hooters Hot Wings
I so envy Cheti in LA, Gezelle in Chicago & Jo in Singapore. Why you ask? Because they are all a short drive away from a Hooters restaurant! F#@k you corporate Manila for not yet bringing Hooters in the country! If I could just get one more bite of of that hot and tasty chicken morsel... urgghhh!
Britney Spears
Guilty! Check out others who are deeply troubled and inspired by her musaque here!

The difference between getting laughs and getting laughed at... 9:17 PM
Do you find that people like you only when you make them laugh? I do sometimes. I get the full attention with my one-liners but get the cold shoulder with my point of view. Do you find yourself not being taken seriously just because you're funny. I do sometimes. They listen intently for my jokes but they question my arguments.You tell jokes. You are a joke. Does it equate?

They look like us now... 8:09 PM
A quick follow-up to my last post...
Star Trek + 24 + The Shield = Battlestar Galactica
The Cylons are back! And damn... they sure look hot! Once machines of destruction become instruments of deciet and insurrection. This "naturalistic science fiction" examines contemporary social, moral and ethical issues with a human fleet of survivors and a sole milary spaceship to protect them from a resurgent and cunning enemy. Faster than light travel, laser gun fights, political conflicts & the backstabbing of power tripping lunatics are all in full feature.

Of Space Westerns & Horny Interns 8:36 PM
Primetime Television at its best!
Star Wars + The Magnificent Seven = Firefly
Actually, in this case, it's Magnificent Ten. Nine souls travelling through the blackness of space on board one Firefly-class ship they call home - Serenity. The ship and each one of its passengers have their insecurities. Insecurities that will bring them closer together and farther apart. If you want adventure, intrigue and loads of witty humour, this one's for you.
ER + Scrubs + Sex and the City = Grey's Anatomy
You just have to watch this show. Sandra Oh... Patrick Dempsey... House is overrated! This one is golden! I would not even tell you guys what the series is all about. You just have to watch this show.
Note to the reader: Please leave a message if you wish to inquire how to get hold of episodes of the above shows. I will be more than happy to assist.

Hold off buying those tech devices dear... 8:13 PM
There is never a good time to buy a new mobile phone or mp3 player. You think you like the 2 megapixel camera phone now? Wait until one with wireless internet capability comes out. You think you like the mp3 player with video playback? Wait until one with better battery life and storage capacity comes out.
Things are moving fast. Consumers need to be vigilant to stay on top of the digital now. Here are a few items I currently have my eyes on that would surely be old news in a week or two:
The Creative Zen Vision:M
The Nokia N91
The Optimus Keyboard
Don't even think of buying an HD-DVD / Blue-ray player anytime soon.

Paranoia Induced Anxiety 9:12 PM
You sleep at night wondering about the dawn to come
About things prepared for you by fate
You dream about journeys far off your usual path
And put them aside by the time you wake
I envy those whose dreams they make
Whose lives are as they have always wanted
I pity, nay, abhor my weak resolve
For it has led me nowhere far where I have started
I close my eyes to the day that has passed
And weigh my weary head to the comforts of recline
I wait for the darkness to accompany peace
And surrender to the chaos; to the thoughts in my mind
About things prepared for you by fate
You dream about journeys far off your usual path
And put them aside by the time you wake
I envy those whose dreams they make
Whose lives are as they have always wanted
I pity, nay, abhor my weak resolve
For it has led me nowhere far where I have started
I close my eyes to the day that has passed
And weigh my weary head to the comforts of recline
I wait for the darkness to accompany peace
And surrender to the chaos; to the thoughts in my mind

#010: 5 Things to do this Holiday Season! 9:36 AM
1) Be a film critic for a day!Don't let the fact that Narnia got bumped off its December release ruin your Chirstmas break. Have fun with family or close friends weeding the good and the bad out of the Metro Manila Film Festival! You'll sure get a kick out of some of the stunts and antics they pull off yearly just to get a film out for the running. Dramas become comedies and comedies become dramas (maiiyak ka sa panget!).
2) Try mixing drinks for the holidays!
This is fun. Turn drabby get-togethers into fabulous cocktail parties! Go to http://www.mixed-drink.com/or http://www.webtender.com/ and get started mixing basic alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Check out your local grocery store's wine selection. You'll be surprised on how blending some common and inexpensive spirits and spritzers could go a long way. Margaritas anyone?
3) Get that facial done!Bleach, peel, prick, pop! Get it done early during vacation and you're perfect by the time you get back to the office 2 weeks after! You may even squeeze in that liposuction you've always wanted.
4) Redesign your Boudoir!
Is you room still stuck in the 80's? Maybe that's not so bad but molds and peeling paint sure are nasty. Take advantage of the holiday mall sale and amp up your space! A new paint job, curtains, sheets, carpet, lighting and a mini hi-fi system surely won't hurt. HGTV has some cool ideas to get you off the ground. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dc_room_design
5) Tell that secret crush you like him/her!Do this just before you break for the holidays. If he/she says he/she likes you too, then you're golden! If he/she hesitates, you can tell him/her to think about it over the holidays. If he/she rejects you, well... at least you have 2 weeks to get over it. This is not a perfect plan but at least it will get things moving. Who knows? The holiday cheers may help you recieve a more thoughtful and merrier response. =)

Are you just being nice? 3:34 PM
I find myself making something out of nothing.
Small meaningless acts play in my mind like whirlpools.
Passing words end up ringing in deep sleep.
Should I do something? Should I act?
Would I even get something back?
What if I falter? What if I'm wrong?
If rejection comes, will I be strong?
Are you just being nice?
I'm lost.

Game... Hingis! 9:22 PM
There's just no other tennis player like Martina Hingis. She has inspired the world round with her amazing court sense and craft. She has great wisdom in the sport and is being hailed as the smartest to have ever played the game.After retiring abruptly end of 2002 because of injury, she's now coming back!
Fans all over are cheering on this announcement. Today's game is dominated by strength and brute athleticism. Hingis will be a refreshing addition to the roster with her game built on finesse, chess-like tactics & prestine shotmaking.
We've all missed her. Welcome back Martina! Win some for me! =)
