Moral Cleansing

As I type this, there’s a rally brewing in the streets of Makati where I work.  Tomorrow, another stage will be set to unseat GMA.   I just hope it will be a revolutionary success this time barring any show of brute force or bloodshed.   It’s high time for another People Power to surface to save this country from [...]

To reality and back…

Took a long while before finally being able to see this movie considering I have listened to its wonderful all-Beatles soundtrack even before Christmas. The movie and the sound files I have of course dowloaded for free using torrent (a little patience=big savings!)   The movie is a transcendental love story that takes the viewers to great hallucinating heights [...]

Gadget Frenzy

A study on stuff I can’t leave home without. From top clockwise: iTouch packed with latest cool albums, Sennheiser behind-the-neck headphones, a generic black thick-rimmed reading glasses, onyx-and-crystal 21-eye Tzi bead bracelet (my charm), Spike Oakley prescription glasses, car keys, Omega Planet Ocean Seamaster watch, fat Hickok wallet (of business cards and wallet charms, not [...]

Happy Chinese New Year

“After a year of ups and downs in 2007 the Goat has a nice year to look forward to.”
“2008 will be a year of changes for the Goat and wealth luck is good. With regards to relationships there will be changes for the better.”
So go the predictions for my sign for this coming Chinese New Year [...]

An Ode to Two Chairs

The weight we carry is love, says the beat poet Allen Ginsberg.  Can’t wait for it to finally settle down, as on these chairs will soon fall the weights of two warm bodies deeply in love. A unity made in heaven… 

Hello again, World!

Just joined this wonderful free blogsite to reconnect to the cyberworld (I’ve lost touch for such a long time at Multiply). I really miss blogging–channeling high-energy yet volatile ideas and thoughts in one’s mind into the rarefied and uncertain realms of the blogosphere.  Hope I could keep it up this time.
