The recently concluded 67th Golden Globe Awards, I must say, was a success. In that, many of my favorite people and show won, and because I laughed at almost everything Ricky Gervais said. What made him even more funny was his shameless, shameless plug on his own show and movie, The Office and The Invention of Lying. For "Glee-ks" like me, Lea Michelle, Jane Lynch, and Matthew Morrison's loss in their respective categories was replaced...

Kind of reminds me of the local champorado, except this one doesn't have sticky rice in it. Looks really yummy. For the recipe go here. ...

...you wake up one morning and find your pot-holed national road freshly paved with asphalt ...every lamppost in your neighborhood is tacked with a poster saying, "Merry Christmas", "Congratulations Graduates", "Happy Valentines", or every occasion known to man, and accompanied by a big picture of the aspiring candidate and his/ her name in bright bold letters ...you watch TV and all the commercials are of the candidates showing what they think should be done to...

I think that stylish Harry Potter star Emma Watson and luxury brand Burberry is the perfect fashion mix. She, along with her 17-year old model brother, is the new face of the famous brand.   I read that Emma likes to spend on designer clothes and accessories and has been seen on and off the red carpet wearing the likes of Rodarte and Chanel. So, becoming a model for a luxury brand should come as...

For those into Lomography, or what I'd like to describe as lo-tech artistic photography, this new addition to the well-loved Holga plastic camera is a welcome treat. Especially for someone who loves the color green like me. And it uses 35mm film! That's really important because other Holga models use 120 film which is more expensive and harder to find. Wish I had this instead of my standard black Holga 135 BC. ...

Earlier this week I decided to try my hand at designing a logo for my planned creative/ art/ scrapbooking business. But of course, naming it is the first step. I tried on so many combination of words that I liked and tried to search for it on the internet. It was kind of disappointing because almost every name I've come up with was already taken. I even thought of using the old name I've come...

Tron Legacy, the sequel to the original 1982 Tron movie, has been set for release in December of this year. I read that this was a much-awaited sequel ever since rumor spread in 1999 that there was going to be one.  Finally, in the 2008 Comic-con in San Diego, attendees were treated to a surprise showing of the teaser trailer (by Disney and IMAX) which they labelled as TR2N. In it the emblematic Light Cycle...

While eating hot pandesal from Pan de Manila and cheese pimiento spread made by my mom on new year's day I read this heart-warming quote from the paper bag the bread came in: "Ngayong Pasko alay nami'y isang mataimtim na dasal at mainit na pandesal." ...awww shucks. ...

I don't consider myself as a coffee connoisseur, instead I think of myself as someone who loves to drink coffee. I particularly like the ambiance of coffee houses because it exudes a warm, cozy feel that instantly makes you relax. Plus, it's a good place to gather with friends and have great conversation. And because I've always been a kind of Starbucks fanatic, last year I decided to try something new and add a few...

For a while rumors have been flying that Paramore's concert in Manila was a hoax. I'm glad that rumor turned out to be false and that Paramore is really coming to Manila this year. Yey! I like this band because their music fall in the genre I like so much - punk-pop-rock-alternative. Yeah, that's a mouthful, but there is such a thing. I especially love their song "Never Let This Go" from All We Know...
