My friend told me that the whole month of April is Lit month. I don't know if it's for real but we challenged each other to write everyday for the whole month. So here's my entry for the first of April. A Haiku Now can you feel it Summer's fingers reaching out Finally, we meet.
Last Sunday my family and I were able to watch the repeat run of the musical Rock of Ages here in Manila. My fascination with musicals has flickered in the past few years, plus I wasn’t really keen about seeing Vina Morales on the stage so I went without really thinking of having the best…
Ryan Gosling Pt.2
I knew beforehand that Ryan Gosling is part of a two-man band called Dead Man’s Bones. Their music is a bit weird, but weird in a good way, bordering on indie and gospel. Their songs are mainly about ghosts floating, skeletons, and graveyards—death in general. So just imagine my surprise when I found this on…
Funny Face
I don’t think it’s normal to fall in love with a face like this. It’s not your typical cute. Big googly eyes, a pudgy nose, and saggy jowls do not necessarily make the best face. But they do make sense on Frankie. He’s our new puppy. And I have fallen in love with him completely,…
Ryan Gosling pt.1
I guess writing this will serve as some sort of intervention. You see, I’ve developed an obsession over a guy—and it is not my boyfriend. He goes by the name of Ryan Gosling. (This is too embarrassing to admit. I squirmed as I typed his name, okay.) I’ve watched his movies before (The Notebook, Fracture,…

Beagle Bailey’s Birthday
It's our beagle Bailey's birthday! My mom texted me to go straight at home after work. Apparently, this spoiled little dog cousin of mine has a dinner party. We'll be having spaghetti and fried chicken--the quintessential party food. She is spoiled and sometimes acts like the pack leader of the house, but I love her…
The Girl in the Dragon Dress
I’ve recently finished reading the Millennium Series of Stieg Larsson, and I just have to say that I’m quite sad that there aren’t any more novels about Lisbeth Salander. One of the reasons I started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was because of my curiosity over Larsson’s rough and tough heroine. Once I…
Hanging out with the crazies
My friends and I had a very productive day last Saturday. First, we went to the Collective to pig out on some Buffalo wings and comfort food at Wingman. Their wings are what they’re special for but the other dishes are so good, too. But what I really loved were the carrot sticks and the…
A New Baby
The stork delivered this for me yesterday! I haven’t blogged about this before but I truly love shooting with film. There’s just more mystery when shooting with film compared to shooting with digital cameras. I love imagining what’s in the roll of film I’m about to drop off at the lab, and I love holding…
