I know, it has been weeks since I last updated this blog, and I wish I had some stories to tell from my absence (don’t worry, there’s some good news in there) but for the most part it’s been an emotional roller-coaster for me. Cliche’d though it may be, there’s no better way of describing it from my end. I…

Crushes Of Yore: No Apologies Necessary
Since I can’t get Pinterest to work with Blogger at this time of night, I’ll just go ahead and throw all sorts of random commentary on a few Crushes of Yore (and one that would have counted, except not)… – Much as I adore him to bits – and believe me, I’m crushing on him hard right now – Jonny…
Crushes of Yore: That Guy from That Band
I’ve been following The Voice of the Philippines for the last few weeks now, which I’ve been watching with a group of girls from our dorm. We watch the show for the performances, and for the judges (let’s just say that Lea Salonga seems to be enjoying the same “special beverage” that Blake Shelton partakes of in the US edition)…
Randomesticity: One Year Older, and None The Wiser
This post is brought to you by Richard Armitage, who owes me a cake. So, here I am, one year older, working on a new book, taking on some freelance work (which you’ll hear about in the coming weeks), and looking forward to a new school year on the horizon. Time to check in on what’s going on inside my…
About a Parent
Some of you may be wondering if I’ve been crying buckets of tears over the news that Jeremy Renner is now expecting a child with an unidentified ex-girlfriend – who, obviously, is not me. Frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh, cry, or beat the living daylights out of the bastard, so I did feel bad for a while… then…
Today’s Dispatch: Go Get Your Man
This entry is brought to you by this video: Oh, I’m sorry, I meant THIS video: Let’s just say that, after everything that happened on SNL last week, it looks like I could still get my man back. (Even if this only ends up on cable. And even if his next round of film projects turn out to be unwatchable.) Oh…
Today’s Dispatch: Waiting on a Line of Greens and Blues
This post was brought to you by THIS SONG: See, here’s the problem: It’s October 30, right? And I’m supposed to be plotting my NaNo by now, because we’ll be busy tomorrow since we’re getting a jump (pun not intended) on All Saints’ Day by visiting the family pantheon. (Okay, not exactly a real “pantheon” per se, but we use…
Today’s Dispatch: Once Again, Crushes of Yore
This post is brought to you by the movie Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. Also starring Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel… and THIS GUY. Screencap from The Daily Beast. Look, I know what you are all thinking: Several entries ago I already “ruled out” Michael Stuhlbarg for the “role” of Adam in my screenplay, partly because he didn’t seem…
Today’s Post: The Thousand-Word Parody
And once again, my apologies, because this post has been brought to you by this screencap from the Esquire US website. 1) Yes, I went there. 2) Yes, I’ve waited *that long* for this picture to happen, and much longer for the cover photo as well. 2.5) Come on, folks! He’s smiling, for crying out loud! There is no guyliner…
The Shallow End of the Sporting Pool
Before I begin, a few notes on the bug I have up my ass regarding Erik Spoelstra. Source: zimbio.com via Stella on Pinterest As I’ve mentioned in my previous blog entries, I consider him as a “hometown boy” of sorts: the Filipino side of his family grew up next to my dad’s in the same barrio, and his uncle lives…
