  • Vengeance Is…

    ·

    Vengeance Is not Ours, It’s God’s Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy.  I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged.Why are you staring at me?  With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering…

  • Eat a Cranberry, Pumpkin Seed & Blueberry Bar

    ·

    If you are to rise, learn to descend, Life doesn’t always bring mountains to ascend. Decaf, Americano, large – the boss commanded. Without batting an eyelid, I complied. I pressed the lift down the coffee shop, Never letting self-pity gets a grip. Whispering: “Servitude is an act of love, Self-talking: “Better yet, it’s paid.” At the…

  • Suits

    ·

    You don’t have to be a lawyer to appreciate Suits. I, for one, fell in love with yet another foreign TV series.

Refreshing (i.e. a show not entirely focused on romance.) Nah, I’m not bitter. Why watch…

  • Panlasang Pinoy Sa Dubai

    ·

    Iba nga talaga ang lutong Pinoy. Maaring masarsa, maalat, mamantika, o maasim, ngunit siguradong palaging katakam-takam. Di na nakapagtatakang hanap-hanapin ng panlasang Pinoy ang mga pagkaing kinamulatan, kinalakhan at kinapanabikang makita sa kanilang Lamesa.
