The Complete Substitute for All Forms of Sociability

The more you value something, the less you should hold on to it. If you can hold it in your hands, it will soon run out. If it's intangible, it was never meant for keeps.

All the birds are chirping but only a few are wondering: How the heck are you supposed to chirp without any lips?

1. The alarm clock gave a nasty electronic beep , forcing him into wakefulness. Even so, he did not open his eyes right away, trying not to remember that it was somebody else’s alarm clock, that he was sick with hangover and that he just buried his father yesterday. But it all came pounding back -- the funeral, the reception held at the hotel, the drunken night out. The woman next to him finally reached over and turned off the alarm. He kept his eyes shut. He remembered the frenzied drunken sex, the kind only two strangers could have, but he did not want to open his eyes and see her. All he wanted was to stumble out of there while she slept and leave it all behind. The alarm killed all chances of that. She was awake now and the room was starting to fill with that awkward silence. After some length, he cleared his throat at the same time she apparently decided to speak. “Who was drunker last night, you or me?” She asked. There was still sleep in her voice.

Not to talk about Cory Aquino's passing away (bless her soul), or the recent gimmicks of politicians vying for next year's national elections, or the constant flooding in Manila (that actually worries me a little bit), or even the Bar Exam.

Speaking of which, I'm in fangirl mode right now and I feel like indulging myself. The object of my current fascination is Takenouchi Yutaka , or more particularly the character he plays (Nodate Shinjiro) in Boss . He's soooo fine. Of course, it helps that the actor is YUMMY . I especially love Nodate's interactions with Osawa Eriko, the character played by The Queen's Classroom star, Amami Yuki . I revi...

Last night, I had dinner with my uncle and a whole bunch of people from his extended family. My godmother is home from the US and good familial decorum dictates that I stuff my face with food show my face at the dinner table for an hour or so. Naturally, one of the topics of conversation is the Bar Exam. The fact that I'm a bar reviewee defines me at the moment. It's like people introduce me and go like, "This is (insert nickname here). She's reviewing for the bar." And horror of horrors that's also how I answer when random people from the past ask me how I'm doing. Somebody, shoot me in the foot, quick! In other news: "I come from Planet Sparkle. After I evolve, I will kill you all." ~ Trunkfish (from here ) Too funny not to post. Now I've got my older cousin posting a message from my other uncle on my Facebook wall, saying that I have to "become a lawyer, a real lawyer" (yes, commas and all). Read a little differently w...
