Earlier, on my way home from work, I realized that foreigner friends visiting Manila for the first time might find my city too loud, too brash for their senses. From the common "tranquility" of the sounds of their respective cities, setting foot in Manila might feel like being trapped in a really surreal Lady Gaga …
It’s gonna be another SuperShow!
Super Junior fans, flog me now with your uchiwas and hand-held blinking posters... gomenasai... I really don't have a clue. For a few weeks now, I've been wondering senseless on the huge activity in terms of searches and reads on Super Junior in my blog. I remember writing about the boys previous concert in Manila. …
Guess who’s at the Darren Criss show last night…
There must be something in the way we tell the universe our heart's little desires. Because IN SPITE OF and DESPITE OF, things will happen if you will it. Well, guess who was at Darren Criss' show last night? Ehem...ehem... Wanna hear the story of how I managed to be there? Well, even if you …

Darren Criss in Manila for a mall show! (hyperventilate! hyperventilate!)

Christmas + Manila = Hell
I've just been to hell and back, and I survived. If you don't believe in hell -- spend Christmas in the Philippines. Stay in Mega Manila and decide to shop for presents from 2PM-onwards on any of Manila's biggest malls and shopping centers. If you'd like the "Singapore shopping experience" then head to Makati, to …
how NOT to get an interview
Ginger, as much as I like you -- hounding Justin Timberlake with stupid ass questions like "Are you bringing sexy back to Manila?" will not get you an interview, lest a sane, useful sound bite. Plus--you really look stalkerish with how you hounded him at the airport. The video above proves how crazy looking you …
Did you feel it?
At 1-sumthing PM today, I was literally minding my own business when I felt the building sway... I worked my whole life on small buildings, the tallest of which is the third floor. So, my current work is my first one where I am 22 floors above ground. Imagine my paranoia when a slew of …
So, this is what HELL feels like?
Gosh, if there comes a time when Filipinos will be sent to hell, I am so freaking sure that good old Pinoys will bust out their picnic boxes and spray on the suntan and have one rocking beach party in Satan's lair. IT'S SO FREAKING HOT TODAY.... 34 degrees! I was so bothered with the …
From Lee Hongki (and the rest of FT Island) — With love.
If I use our rent money to buy FT Island Manila concert tickets instead, will that be enough grounds for divorce? Hehehe! Hubby should you be reading this, THIS IS A JOKE. No need to go all batshit on me. The boys look so adorable. Lee Hongki, as always you made my heart skip a …
