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 [...]
I’d started to write a fantastically nonsensical food porn-metaphor story, but it made about as much sense as the adults in Peanuts when they talk, “Wawa-wa wawa wa, wa wa-wa”. Good grief, Charlie Brown. Speak plainly. In an effort to retain first-time visitors, I’ll try to write more transparent, frequent and shorter posts without losing [...]
Because I reached the Semi-finals round (Top 10 in Blogs category, LOL) of the 10th Philippine Web Awards, I qualified to compete in the People’s Choice Awards (Best Blog voted by YOU). I received an invitation to attend the awarding ceremony and after-party on Friday, November 23. But I’m unable to go, so I’m [...]
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.

If you’re an avid, rabid fan of the NBC TV series “Heroes”, you would know about the recent Heroes World Tour during Aug. 26 to Sep. 2. that had 12 cast members and 3 creators travelling to promote Season 2 and Season 1 DVD and HD DVD releases. The tour was split into 3 legs, [...]
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 [...]
Today’s serving of Brain Stew is… jade green. Sweetie darling, green is the new purple. Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, someone’s thinking of me and muttering, “Random!” No, a whacko is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to… more or less. With equal parts hackneyed [...]
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 [...]
