It's been quite a while since I've written anything and well...I've run out of excuses. Hmm...the title? Yeah, I know. But, it's not what you think. It's a little more complicated than that. Sure, sure...I think I'm in love...or not...I'm not making any sense? Under the circumstances, you wouldn't eitheir. My point? I'm getting there. I watched this movie on the tube last night and it made me remember all the lines that I absolutely adore. It suits me, especially now... Ah, I know you're going to ask about that. My boyfriend? Well, I... (more) http://ladylazarus.blogdrive.com/comments?id=60 http://ladylazarus.blogdrive.com/archive/59.html Tue, 22 Mar 2005 10:40:18 GMT It was only today that i visited my blog again. Looking at the date of my last entry, I was stunned. More than a month had passed and I didn't notice it. Where did the days between that day and this day go? I stopped to think about it, carefully sifting through the clutter of memories cramping my brain. So okay, what have I been up to? Took a 2-day basic mountaineering course which included a trip to San Rafael in Montalban, Rizal. I learned how to tie a knot, administer CPR correctly and use a compass properly. I rapelled down a bridge more than 30 meters in height. It was scary,...

It is wrong, wrong, wrong but I cannot help myself. Being surrounded by all those wonderful movie selections in the newly established shopping arcades of Quiapo is a sweet kind of torture. So many titles, so little time...and so little money! Last Thursday I accidentally found myself in that part of town and discovered a new place selling pirated DVDs. Despite all efforts from the authorities to put a stop to this industry, it seems to be as productive -- and lucrative -- as ever. I was amazed at the variety of selections the new place was selling. There...

Nothing outwardly discernable, though. Many don’t even realize that there is a crisis happening right under their noses. Restaurants and bars around the metro were expectedly full to bursting. The motels did the usual brisk business. Malls were predictably decked with the requisite cut-out hearts. Radios blared schmaltz well into the next day. The air was redolent with the cloying scent of roses and it seemed everybody was running on a sugar high because of all the chocolates and candy. Ok,...

(Hehehehe...how apt!) If y' all have time to grab a copy of today's issue of the Philippine Star, you can check it out on page M-1, the pre-Valentive supplement. But, for everybody's benefit, I just reprinted it here. ^_^ The Queen of Queer Chris is the perfect date. Whenever we go out, I can be sure that he would be impeccably dressed. He knows all the good places to eat and knows exactly what food I’d enjoy. He is a great conversationalist, charming and a gentleman right down to the...

It's not that I don't have anything to write about. On the contrary, I'd like to write about my trip to Pico de Loro last week, and the sidebar stories that go with it like how adobo tastes while savored at a height of 2,000 feet or how I made like Spiderman, clambering up a stone face to reach the summit. Then of course there is this intriguing writing assignment I got from my friend, Ayvi, who edits the supplements section of the Philippine Star. For their Valentine issue she asked me to write an...

This family -- a man and his wife and two kids -- were the bane of our neighboorhood. They were loud and obnoxious. Especially now that their 17-year-old daughter was working and was able to buy them the things that they were deprived of. More food on the table. Brand new clothes. Cellphones, one for each of them. The man would sometimes call someone on his cellphone and talk very, very loudly. He made sure that everyone knew he had that special, special gadget. The other day, the wife, the mother,...

Domingo St. and Del Monte Avenue, waiting for a taxi. The streets were almost deserted, save for a few cars and jeepneys. Near us, a long line of tricycles waited for passengers, their drivers having a leisurely chat. My friends and I, too, were laughing and talking, unmindful of the danger that was just waiting to happen. Suddenly, there was the roar of an engine coming to life. From the corner of my eye, I saw a motorcycle pass by me, much too close. Something snagged at my left arm...no, pulled... Belatedly,...
