Music and Lyrics: Closing Time – Semisonic
I’m part of the MTV generation, the generation who watched an MTV that showed music videos instead of reality shows. Circa 1998, I believe, was when this song came out, and of course I learned about it from MTV. Truth be told this is the only Semisonic song I know. At first I thought it [...]
Taste Buds: Vigan Longganisa
Nope. It’s not Kam. It’s just Ms C. Don’t hold your breaths. I’m not here to present a kitchen masterpiece I think I’ve mentioned more than once that I don’t cook. I have been trying stuff out, but until I perfect them, I won’t be posting any of my experiments. I’ve been thinking about my [...]
Le Critique: Book Review: Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
SPOILER ALERT: I am somewhat describing the plot and will have constant references to different parts of the book. The last revisionist novel that I read was Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series, which of course is not the Sleeping Beauty of Disney charm. I read those novels a million years ago in high school and [...]
Mommy Adventures: Lunches
It is just the second week and I am already running out of ideas! I have been crawling through the blogs of my mommy friends to grab recipes and all, but they are such pros. I am greatly intimidated. How can a kitchen newbie like me pull off dimsums and such? Anyway, I have created [...]
Blinks: City Lights 2
photo & post processing: Ms B taken: April 2008, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong The amazingly vibrant Hong Kong. This posterized image of Hong Kong Island features the Bank of China Tower made by the geometry-loving, and one of my personal favorite architects, I. M. Pei. This was taken before the Symphony of Lights played [...]
Mommy Adventures: The First Day of School
It came in the nick of time. This is exactly what he needed: to get out of the house. The parents and students were greeted by a very warm reception by the principal, the teachers and the rest of the staff. There was food everywhere! Being used to Ateneo, the big school that Captain Awesome [...]
School’s Out!!
I say school’s out even if Captain Awesome just started his first day of school here in the States today. For me, three years, $36,000 later, I am finally done with my MBA program. I vividly remember the day that Chef and I sat down to discuss this. From the sacrifices that included me having [...]
Mommy Adventures: Encouraging the Formulation of a Thought
Ta da!! This Mommy Adventures edition is brought to you by the great Auntie B!! Woohoo! Today, as I asked Captain Awesome to give me a hug-slash-wrestle, bombarding Ms C’s peace and quiet in the process, we, the three of us, came up with the idea of Captain Awesome writing stuff down that we will [...]
Wanderlust: California Adventure, Anaheim CA
I don’t know if this still counts as a Wanderlust piece since I’m already officially a Californian. What the heck?! It was still a travel experience, so I’m declaring it as legit! I’m so itching to go on a trip! The last time I went on a vacation was October 2009, when both Captain Awesome [...]
Le Critique: Movie Review: Inception (2010)
Oh boy, not another Inception review. Lol! Well, by now the whole world (except probably Ms C) has seen the movie. I won’t really even bother to give a spoiler alert. Just my two cents as usual. We follow Dom Cobb (Leo DiCaprio), a professional extractor of information, as he enters the depths of one’s [...]
