Sundays with the Promil Kid

Posted on June 27, 2010 by Yoshke in Conversations, Family, Humor | 33 Comments

Guess who’s back! I’m finding it hard to blog about my nephew, the Promil Kid, lately because I rarely see him. He’s staying at my parents’ house in Batangas and I only go there once a month. Anyway, enjoy. image courtesy of www.cartoonfaces.net AGNOSTIC KID The Promil Kid is in a difficult identity situation right now. And years from now, it will require a big decision. You see, his mother (my sister) is a Roman Catholic while his dad is … →

Posted on June 20, 2010 by Yoshke in Lists, Travel | 39 Comments

I was looking at my travel pictures and I was surprised by what I just realized. Aside from how much weight I gained the past year, I realized I have traveled a lot and I didn’t spend much. Since July last year, I have visited Palawan, Iloilo, Guimaras, Cebu, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Tagaytay, Batangas, Tarlac, Cebu again, and Sagada. In fact, the soles of my feet had been itching the past four weekends that I traveled to Lucban, Quezon (Pahiyas Festival); … →

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Yoshke in Euphoria, Sports, Web | 4 Comments

Only three things make me cry — love, death and World Cup. image courtesy of germany-info.com Haha, seriously.  I remember myself crying like a baby on the way home from Ateneo when Germany lost to Italy in the semi-final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. I also almost fell into depression when they almost became the European champions in 2008, being beaten only by Spain at the finals. The problem is that I am sooo emotionally attached to my … →

Hypnotic Jericho Rosales on MINT Billboards

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Yoshke in Celebrities, Fashion | 15 Comments

It’s been over a year since Jericho Rosales signed a deal to endorse MINT, a local fashion brand, but it’s only now that it dawns on me just how sexy Echo really is on Mint billboards. A few months ago, while on board the MRT, I spotted this billboard along EDSA (near MRT Guadalupe station). I know this billboard looks so generic but there was something about it that was so wildly attractive. Maybe it’s the shirt. Maybe it’s Jericho’s … →

Hi guys, just sharing how my weekend went told in images in less than 4 minutes to the tune of Christina Aguilera’s MONDAY MORNING from the deluxe edition of her fourth studio album Bionic. (Haha. Sorry for plugging.) I’ll be narrating what happened on my Bohol trip in detail soon. I just need to find time as I’ve been awfully busy.

Album Review: Christina Aguilera – Bionic (2010)

Posted on June 1, 2010 by Yoshke in Music, Reviews | 17 Comments

“…The thing about Aguilera is that she’s used to zig when everyone else was zagging. And now, it seems like she decided to zag along with everyone else.” -EW.com EW.com closed its review of Not Myself Tonight with these sentences. I wouldn’t blame them for thinking like this but I guess they were deceived by Not Myself Tonight. I love the single, don’t get me wrong, but this just didn’t represent the album in any way. Not Myself Tonight is … →
