Dirty Fruits and Veggies

Posted on March 30, 2009 by Yoshke in Conversations, Humor | 37 Comments

In the movie and TV industry, it is common for people to use metaphors when talking about things that we should not talk about (or at least, that’s what MTRCB says). So to avoid vulgarities, people use vegetables to refer to body parts that must not be named. Talong for male genitalia. Pechay for female. I know one director whose 6-years-old daughter had been so immersed to the culture of movie production that the kid would often hear the word … →

We Grew Over It, Didn’t We?

Posted on March 25, 2009 by Yoshke in Family, Humor | 39 Comments

When I was young, my mum and my sister fed me ideas that I ingested and digested until I realized I had been Punk’d. Wag ka lulunok ng buto ng santol, tutubo yan sa loob ng katawan mo. I understand the intention. But hey, I actually bought that. I even went telling my classmates about it and discouraged them from taking in seeds of santol or any other fruit. And so eating watermelon suddenly became a painstaking activity. And dirty, … →

Something Silly

Posted on March 22, 2009 by Yoshke in Blurts, Love | 21 Comments

Whenever my friends gave me a call in wee hours of the night, crying because they were madly missing their boyfriends or girlfriends, I secretly laughed at them. I just thought it was silly to weep just because they were not with the person they longed for. Sure, I missed people badly before. But not so badly it could push me to tears. I thought they were exaggerating. And for that, I wanted to slap them. Really hard. I’m not … →

Tits and Toes

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Yoshke in Family, Health, Rants | 47 Comments

“Isn’t Dad enough? Isn’t Dad enough?” Whenever I’d face God for a little conversation, this was all I could tell him. “Isn’t Dad enough?” And in between words were cries of anger and sighs of disappointment. But now, after the successful surgery yesterday and knowing that cancer never really hit second base, my prayers are composed of two words. “Thank you.” I already lost a parent to cancer, I won’t give up the other to the same killer. Never. … … →

Top 10 Ways to Break Up

Note: I originally wrote this for crunkish.com, a superduper fun website that features top 10 whatever things. If you wanna check it out, knock yourself out. People make mistakes. It’s part of human nature. Sometimes, we purchase something and realize that it is useless. We say words we never expected to come out of our mouths. We do things that we will eventually regret in the future. When it comes to choosing our partners, we make lots of mistakes, too. … →

Thanks A (Andre) for: Your culinary powers for my birthday office lunch mini-party. Planning the surprise choco mallows midnight party. (And everyone else inv0lved.) Thanks B for the: Overnight stay in Tagaytay. Ridiculously overpriced dinner on the cliff. Long walks and conversations. Bed and breakfast. Picnic Grove camwhoring. Waaah, A and B… Despite the work and family shit goin’ on around me, I still had the best birthday ever. Thank you for that. I don’t know what good I did … →

Because the world is celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8… Wahaha, joke lang! It was supposed to be Top 10. I wanted to include Imelda Marcos but…. Nah. Not that evil, I think. And then Queen Isabella of Castille. And then my sister crossed my mind but I got too lazy so I just settled for nine. And oh, originally written for crunkish.com, a superduper fun website I used to write for. They say that behind every great man … →
