I’m sharing an apartment with two college friends: Glenn — straight, artistic, weird man; and Frances — asexual, artistic, weird woman. Living with them is like living with, well, weird people. But I loove ‘em both. Hehe. I love ‘em both coz I seldom see them. Wahaha. Kidding. And since we don’t regularly see one another, what have become our major means of communication are the ever-reliable post-it notes. A couple o’ weeks ago. On the kitchen corkboard. And because …

Status: Terrified. Music: Terrified | Kara DioGuardi feat Jason Reeves BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDRE! It was his birthday last Saturday, February 21. I had a great time at his party despite the migraine. Slept in the couch while the rest were belting out diva and boy band songs. Haha. And Andre, alam ko minumura mo ako habang natutulog. Haha. Tangenamurin. I finally got to attend a blogger event! Haha. First time. I was a little nervous, though, coz I never …

ACCUSING DISTRACTION Tuesday morning. Esan, a brand new co-worker, excitedly told me about someone she used to work with. Esan: Yoshke! I’d introduce someone to you! You’ll like him. He’s hot  and a real gentleman! His name is ^&%##. Yoshke: Esan, I’m already seeing someone. I’m a one-man man. I’m one loyal, trustworthy guy. Esan: Wushooo… Yoshke: Ano namang tingin mo saken? MALANDI? Everyone in the office, who, apparently, was listening: OO! Hala. Sabay-sabay pa. Singit pa nung isa, “At …

Julia is his new wife who looks, speaks, and acts almost exactly like Juliana. When Juliana decides to return and win back Michael’s heart, things get ugly. Julia leaves Michael …

Yesterday, Valentine’s Day. This month, Love Month. Gaaawd, it’s mating season once again. My supposedly 1.5-hour travel time from Makati to Lemery, Batangas became 4.5 hours last night!

Damn you lustful people, damn you. So let’s talk about sex. Aah, sex. Sex — everybody …

You Give Love a Bad Name

Do you know what today is? Yes, it’s Friday the Thirteenth. Boo. But wait there’s more. Today, February 13, is Get a Different Name Day! Sad fact of life: we did not choose our names. Our parents bestowed it upon us when we were born. If you like your name, well, freakin’ good for you. But if your parents had such a bad taste at the time of your birth, you may have found yourself suffering from the consequences of …

Coz I’m not capable of handling a relationship. And I must be high when I thought I could. Or was too in love to think I could. I guess I’m better off alone after all. Hahaaay. Single again. images courtesy of ecocentric.co.uk Viewed 977 times by 339 visitors this month

Movie Review: Milk (2008)

Posted on by Yoshke in Entertainment, Movies, Reviews | Leave a comment

Genre: Drama; Director: Gus Van Sant Stars: Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, James Franco Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the United States. Well, the film is about that. Oh yeah, it’s so timely. With Obama now the President (not that Obama is gay) and the Proposition 8 issue and all. And since it’s a biopic, you know what to watch out for — acting performances. And man did Sean …

Movie Review: Revolutionary Road (2008)

Posted on by Yoshke in Entertainment, Movies, Reviews | Leave a comment

Genre: Drama; Directors: Sam Mendes Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Michael Shannon Suburbia. Boring as it seems, suburbia is a deep well of materials for film and TV. The loneliness and grief found in suburbia, as shown in films such as American Beauty and The Safety of Objects, make me wanna thank God I’m living a cosmopolitan life despite EDSA and MMDA. Wala lang, nabanggit ko lang. Revolutionary Road is about two people who are trapped in a predicament called …
