Whatever Happened to Queue Courtesy?

Status: Pissed. Music: What About Now | Daughtry I may be gay but I consider myself a gentleman. When riding the train, I usually give my seat to the woman standing in front of me. And when a woman and I happen to enter a building or a store at the same time, I give way and hold the door for her. These things, I do because I believe I am a good person. And of course, whenever I practise … →

Power Makes the World Go Sicko:
Top 10 Craziest Leaders in History

Note: This entry was written for Crunkish.com, a site that our team put up. It is still under construction but if you want to take a peek, knock yourself out. Throughout history, we have witnessed the rise and fall of countless rulers. Many of them did a really admirable job that their names are written in countless history books. Others still linger in our consciousness today not because of their delightful contributions to mankind but their crazy, twisted ways. “Crazy” … →

I know this post is long overdue. It’s been seven months since I posted the last installment and I think it’s just time to reveal my top 3 favourite films of all time.

This is a favourites list — films that I can watch over and over again, regardless of how … →

My Achy-Breaky-Flirty Tonsils

Posted on May 15, 2008 by Yoshke in Conversations, Gay, Humor | 51 Comments

Status: Way better. Music: Feelin’ So Good | Jennifer Lopez The past few weeks have been a bitch-ass on me. I struggled with tonsilitis, giving me hellish fever and excruciating time eating. For two weeks, I couldn’t get out of bed. The only time I went out of the house was when I decided to see a doctor. After all, this was my fourth tonsilitis this year and my usual meds didn’t seem to work this time. Ah, damn illness … →

Laugh then Follow:
Top 37 Most Ridiculous Laws in the World

Posted on May 10, 2008 by Yoshke in Humor, Lists, Public Affairs | 31 Comments

NOTE: I only have used several websites that compile absurd laws as my references. There’s no way I can verify if these laws actually exist. Read at your own risk. Laws are highly dependent on the culture of the jurisdiction. Laws in one country can be seen as idiotic by others. Differences in cultures result in differences among national and state laws. History also plays a major part on the reason for the existence of some laws. Something might have … →

‘Convenience’ Store, Huh?

Posted on May 5, 2008 by Yoshke in Humor, Rants | 31 Comments

Status: Ranting Music: Pocketful of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield Yoghurt. Last Sunday, I woke up craving for some yoghurt. Off to Mini-Stop convenience store. I grabbed a cup of strawberry-flavoured yoghurt, approached the counter, opened my wallet and took out a P200-bill. Then the cashier said, “Sir, don’t you have a smaller bill?” I checked my pockets and looked for a smaller bill. Nadah. I pouted. Looking so apologetic, I responded, “Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t.” She told me, “But … →

My Balls and I

Posted on May 3, 2008 by Yoshke in Sports, Vanities | 15 Comments

I promised myself that I would devote my Sunday mornings to football (soccer). Last week, my friends Jon and Aika were with me playing at the Sunken Garden in UP Diliman. It rained but we still went on. Football in the rain. Woooh. This is the life. Haha. I am not the athletic type. Certainly not. But it doesn’t mean that I have no interest in sports. I love sports. In fact, when I was in high school, I was … →
