Facebook is turning into a monster. It has become a hodgepodge of mudslingers hurling tirades intended to anybody. More and more people are becoming too uptight, deliriously angry, concocting their delusional enemies, and in a way, detonating a bomb to anyone nay everyone in the way. More and more are borderline livid.

Japanese : Much has been written on this Japanese concept, but in a sentence, one might be able to understand it as “a way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting peacefully the natural cycle of growth and decay.”

Ang dami kong gustong sabihin kaso wag na. Haha. What I just know is J-School molded me so goddam well. Let’s go muckraking! The inspiration you get from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Ms. Pekopons, we have a lengthy to discuss. Hahaha.

The sky is crying with us. At 1.16 p.m., my sister entered a second time the passenger departure area after a brief moment with us. The aquamarine luggage that trailed her was gone. It must have been off to the conveyer belt as we spend our last 15 minutes together ‘til God knows when will that happen again. As she paced down the confines of the airport, I told my younger brother, “It...

How to describe God’s humor? It’s when while I was waiting at the lobby a while ago, Mr. Reporter Crush suddenly appeared in his glorious presence that instantly outsmarted my young, smart casual ensemble. The second I saw him, I held the newspaper higher to cover my whole face. And that’s when I realized that the heaven just pitted us against each other for the post that I...

It’s a quirky attraction. The more I do work out, the more I find guys with nice back muscles more attractive. Back muscles. I know most would ogle over the bulging biceps/tris and abs or pretty pecs but great back muscles are what I dig for. Anyway, I’m about to make my way toward the 120-lb arena. Hoorah. The real work out is just about to begin.

A writer who cares with words →
Socrates said, “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes…

Ever since Multiply has become a hodgepodge of wanton materialism, my ability to write long-form blog entries has rusted already. Consumerism killed the writers.

Genetics play a huge role in the shape your body takes, and that’s that. So along with diet and exercise, you should also incorporate a program for self-acceptance, understanding that your primary goal in working out should be to have a healthy body and mind to match, not to achieve an unattainable look. From realjock.com. This is a reminder to self.

One thing my sister taught me is to “Own it.” Pretty much like Nike’s “Just do it.”

I was in a hotel pool few hours ago, trying out my rusty swimming skills with my newly-bought trunks that almost got me broke. It has been years since I last swam. Since I started working, summer meant nothing to me but scorching heat and two to three extra roll of deodorant on my underarm. I just want to regain the summer I lost because work is more demanding than a Mrs. when it asks for your...
