What's up with Baron Geisler?!

I get it that he wants to project a "bad-boy" image -- a la James Dean, perhaps? And, truth be told, he does manage to pull it off seamlessly. But lately, his antics seem to have crossed that thin line between "bad boy" and just plain "pervert."

What a pity, kuya. You were my bet for "best indie actor"... but not anymore. 

And I even used to fantasize about having you as a date. Now, I'd be scared just to be in the same room. :-(

Fishing in the City? I kid you not!

School vacation finally gave me the time to do some exploring -- online, that is. And after the de rigueur searches on Justin Bieber (gawsh!) and Katy Perry (I wanna BE her), what blog should I wander into but one that contains one of my long-standing frustrations in life... FISHING!

Hibiki's fishing blog is filled with cool photos, helpful fishing tips, interesting tidbits of fish psychology (i swear!) and great (not to mention, surprising) suggestions on where to indulge your angling urges -- with some fishing havens being located within Kyusi itself!  

Dang! Imagine that! City Hall Tourism Department, take note please!

So, if you think you smell something fishy... it definitely isn't Hibiki's blog, it's you! Now get your butt off that sofa and Go Fish!

Or, if you're like me, at least fish vicariously through Hibiki's blog. :-)

Have a Merry Kyusi Christmas, everyone!

Like any typical Pinoy family, Quezon City is preparing for Christmas. Slowly but surely, Kyusi has been putting up decorations, lighting-up key locations and sprucing-up tired facades.

Yup. So very much like a typical Pinoy family during Christmas.

Except, of course, Quezon City is SO not typical at all. For one thing, unlike the typical Pinoy family, everything Kyusi does seems to be on a grand scale.

Does stringing "Christmas lights" on windows to outline Belen scenes seem too much for you? Try festooning streetlamps along all major roads with huge multi-colored parols!

And what about those gigantic Christmas Trees that begin to sprout all around Kyusi when December kicks in?

Cool, no? We really picked the right City to live in!

:D

Have a Merry Kyusi Christmas, everyone!

Yes. This is exactly how I feel today.

 Haaays...

Ikaw kasi e. You let the alcohol get into your head.

And then you let your mouth do the talking, instead of your mind.

Now look at!

He probably thinks you're a ditz na.

RP Football Team -- The "Azkals" -- win over Vietnam!

Oh My God! I can't get over how insanely amazing this event is! Imagine, we beat Vietnam! And drew a game with Singapore! Both countries are acknowledged Champions in Southeast Asia, man!

Next team to beat is Myanmar. :-)

Philippine Football History... here we come!

It may not have been Dengue... but it COULD have!

I am so angry today!

So angry that, to plagiarize a phrase from god-knows-who again, I could slap a kitten! And I love cute cuddly kittens!

That's how godawful angry I am.

Back a few steps...

My nephew was recently rushed to the hospital by his dad (my eldest brother) on suspicions that he (the baby, not the father) had Dengue.

Long story, short? After a very expensive "Rapid Dengue Evaluation" test, they found out it wasn't Dengue after all (thank god for that!) but MEASLES.

Wait. Measles? Aren't babies supposed to be inoculated for that? My dear cute, ever-smiling (although often bossy) baby nephew should have already been immunized by his pediatrician and spared the frantic 1AM, 30-minute tricycle trip to the hospital's ER. For chrissakes, he's only 7 months old!

Apparently, the doctor at the ER was as surprised as I was when he found out that NO, my nephew hadn't had that vaccine yet. Why not, he asked my brother. Because his pedia told his parents that that vaccine was usually given when babies reach 9 months old.

The ER doctor was aghast. "No it isn't! It's given when they are 6 months old!"

My baby nephew's Mom, and I'm retelling this exactly as my brother told it to me, could only shake her head in disbelief. Yes, she is a kind soul.

My kuya, on the other hand, and knowing him since forever, was probably imagining many different, painful ways to get back at his son's pedia.

Me? I'd SUE the muthrfcker blind!

But that's just me. And knowing that we don't have a Medical Malpractice Law yet (unlike many other countries), suing might not get me anywhere. Hell, the pedia has more money than me, for one thing.

Teka. Eh kung ipakulam ko na lang kaya itong si Wicked Pedia? :-)
