(Dear Blog, I suck.) Leave it to me, the habitual blog neglecter to write a New Year’s entry 11 weeks late. Oh Merciful Zeus. My sister warned me that if I continued to churn out link love / self-love promos, she’d stop reading my blog. Next, a friend complained, “You used to blog about sexy [...]
After 49 days of blog stasis wherein I probably lost regular readers and drove away potential subscribers, I’m back on the blogging scene, riding the dizzying whirligig of blog hopping, and returning comments one by one. To paraphrase Buffy, “Seize the moment, ’cause tomorrow your blog might be dead.” (OK, I’ve been looping episodes again.) [...]
I wasn’t going to return to blogging until the New Year, but I felt bad for not hollering back Merry Christmas to 19 bloggers. In true fashion, the Blog Slacker (BS) will wait until enough greetings (via Twitter, blog comments, e-mail, pigeon carriers, etc.) have accrued before the BS will fire up the laptop to [...]
When two of my non-Filipino pals suggested last month to write about the alleged racial slur made against Philippine medical education in the US TV show “Desperate Housewives”, I disinterestedly replied, “Eh, because… ? What for? My blog is about… me.” Narcissism, as Lil aptly put it, “… is the cornerstone of personal blogging and [...]
As a rule, I generally do not post pictures of myself, friends, and family in “public” blog entries… not because anyone in particular is a bucktoothed, ugly, hunchbacked inbred. I respect their right to remain anonymous.

Yes, I know my “Casper the Friendly Dead Blog Ghost” shtick has dragged on for far too long… It’s high time I put a kibosh on my Blogus Interruptus, but it was inevitable that I’d resurface. I mean, it’s my blogging pattern — I disappear –> a blog reader gets my attention by doing something [...]
Dead. My blog unofficially died on March 31, 2007. Everything I’ve written after that has been a wan attempt to revive it at infrequent intervals. A tired layout paralyzed in time. Hundreds of photos that should have been dropped into my Flickr album ages ago. Uncategorized and untagged posts — all of them. Categorizing [...]
Dear Faithful Reader… I’m b-a-a-a-c-k from a 3-week blogging hibernation. Ya, this post is over a week late, but better late than never. I tied for 7th (amongst wow 517 blogs cited by 193 writing project participants… mostly in the Philippines) in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs in 2007 contest. Umm, I’m so not [...]

No doubt, if you’re living in the Philippines or you surf a lot of Pinoy blogs or YouTube, you’ve come across that TV commercial, “Makulay ang Buhay sa Sinabawang Gulay” featuring child actors (Sharleen, Aaron and Nash, eh who?) getting jiggy with the tasty and healthy virtues of Knorr seasoning in vegetable soup. And maybe [...]
Uh ya… so I fell 1 short of my originally planned 5 entries… and 2 short of JJ’s request for 6. Bleah. On the bright side, at least I matched last May’s tally of 4! See, glass half-full? Whatever. It just means I’ll write 2 more in July… uh-huh. I was going to write a [...]
“Bad lazy blogger! Go to the corner!” (Schrödinger’s cat can act, eh?)
Oh, relax PETA boy… No Animals Were Harmed in the Making of This Entry. Feline antics, fiction. Fat kitty and stubby disfigured finger, real. Sooo, the last time I blogged… 13 days ago. Bad, bad me. (I checked my pulse. I am neither [...]
I wanted to celebrate reaching 1000+ comments on my blog. Today, the 1000th comment was hollered by Zerovoltage! Congratulations, dude! I’d like to thank every person (stinking spammers excluded!) who has ever taken the time to holler back… by listing the name of each hollerer (and link, if available). My friend Jude would argue [...]
Max: “Cabbages? Fatty don’t want no steenkin’ cabbages! Heads will roll!”
After a 10-month trial, I am no longer a vegetarian. Granted, I was never a strict vegetarian - seafood, eggs, dairy stuff, 1 BBQ pork rib, 2 slices of beef pot roast, 2 slices of roast turkey… and a partridge in a pear tree. [...]
