Just Did

Posted on August 31, 2007 by Yoshke in Flash Fiction, Love | 26 Comments

Note: I already posted this on my previous blog, click here. I just had to move it here so I could file my short stories under one category. Anyway, usual reminder: blogger’s original work. Please see legal and ethical reminders on the sidebar. Thanks very much. Again, this is fiction. When one of my bestfriends and I were at a resort somewhere in the south three years ago for his despedida party (he would be flying to London in less … →

Movie Review: The Invasion (2007)

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Yoshke in Movies, Reviews | 13 Comments

Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller Director: Oliver Hirschbiegel Stars: Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Jeremy Northam, Jackson Bond I am a big sci-fi fan. And an even bigger Nicole Kidman fan. For me, there’s nothing more entertaining than seeing a sci-fi film. And there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing moving images of Nicole Kidman (die Keith Urban, die! nah, I love Keith, too) projected on the big screen. So imagine how ecstatic I was feeling yesterday when I was just about to watch … →

The Promil Kid and the Hideous Word

Posted on August 26, 2007 by Yoshke in Family, Humor | 35 Comments

I didn’t realise how obsessed my 3-year old nephew had become with Cartoon Network (particularly Dexter’s Laboratory) until I entered MY room one morning. And there he was, sitting on the floor, smashing a scientific calculator on the wall, thinking he could fix it afterwards. When I opened the door, he turned to me and angrily hollered: “Tito (uncle), get out of my laboratory!!!” This is bad, I thought. He thinks he’s Dexter and this is his laboratory. I knew … →

Movie Review: A Love Story (2007)

Posted on August 26, 2007 by Yoshke in Movies, Reviews | 14 Comments

Genre: Drama, Romance Director: Maryo J. Delos Reyes Stars: Aga Muhlach, Angelica Panganiban, Maricel Soriano This was the first local movie of the year that I swore I would definitely watch. Although I already knew what the twist was weeks before its first screening, I was still as excited as hell. In fact, I promised Tonet to watch it with her but since she couldn’t find time, I forgot about the promise and saw the movie alone. And when I … →

Hollow Life

Status: Empty Music: Welcome to my Life – Simple Plan This is a (handwritten) journal entry I wrote on February 19 this year. I just came across this page and it’s just nice to look back into my thoughts: It’s not that I lack dopamine right now because I swear my cigarettes make sure I get my daily dose, but I really feel empty. This is not one of my drama moments. I just feel there’s something missing in my … →

A Tale of Two Aussie Farmers. Or Two Tales.

Status: My legs are numb. Music: Sober – Kelly Clarkson After getting stuck in the capital city for more than two weeks (I don’t have cable TV there), I’m finally back here in my hometown where I get to have my daily dose of HBO, National Geographic, and the most important channels for me right now, CNN and BBC. And it’s not just because of their hot correspondents. (Oh don’t get me started with that, I can talk about it … →

… … … … I just freakin’ wish you feel the same for me. Whatever it is that we have, it’s officially dead. I killed it. OK. It’s resurrected. Hehehe. But I know, it’s never really over. And it’s not over. I hope it won’t be. Viewed 544 times by 229 visitors this month

My Eyes and Nature Drive Me Crazy

Posted on August 7, 2007 by Yoshke in Emo, Health, Public Affairs | 5 Comments

Status: My eyes are in pain Music: Miss You Like Crazy – Natalie Cole It’s been a crazy week. And everything’s driving me crazy. But first, I would like to apologise for my unannounced week-long hiatus. I have a pretty good explanation. Last Friday morning, I woke up and realised that my left eye was sore. And it was itchy. And teary. And sooo red. And it dawned on me: OH.MY.GOD! I got a “sore eye,” or pinkeye or bloodshot … →
