today is a holiday... and it's called BONIFACIO Day... also known as...

...good luck if you can find parking around the malls day...  or watch all the movies you downloaded day... or walking dead season 2 marathon day... or just stay in bed, read a book, listen to music day... or surf the web all you want day... or write in the blog day... or go biking around the metro day... or ride the LRT and go to quiapo day... or go out of town for the day day... or simply just stare at the ceiling and do nothing day...

Thank you Gat Andres Bonifacio. I know this entry trivializes your contribution to Philippine History. But what do I know... I'm unsubcultured.

pinoy trippy music sub cult

The latest single from my favorite Pinoy band, the TECHY ROMANTICS!


things you probably don't know about me...

  • I hate drinking on Mondays. 
  • I can drink on Sundays but only before 12 midnight.
  • I can't buy stuff when shopping with friends. I only get to buy things when I'm alone.
  • I've accidentally run over two dogs at different times [once around the mid 90s, once in 2005]. Coincidentally, I was "in a relationship" at those times and lost my partners soon after.
  • I only come to work early because of parking.
  • When watching porn, I only watch the requisite girl to girl scene. I forward the male-female scenes.
  • I don't like seeing/being with my officemates on weekends and holidays. You see them 5 times a week, why hang with them when you're on vacation, right?
  • I'm a mallrat. And at the mall I always love going to shoe/sneaker stores and the pc and tech section.
  • I find african-american women pretty.
  • I can eat siomai everyday.
  • I don't like reggae.
  • I google my crushes.
  • I don't like unhappy endings... and I hate it when the central character dies.
  • If I get a chance to own a pet, I'd get a Basset Hound.

This is so cool. A friend of mine tweeted my blog about a recent Ultimate frisbee tournament in Manila. A follower picked up her tweet and posted a link to my blog on "The Frisbee Daily." Nize!

First they blew out the zombies in the barn... 
THEN, THEY BLEW OUT OUR MINDS WITH SOPHIA!



Hu-what an awesome ending to the midseason. Can't wait for next year [Feb]!

Oh, and goodbye Sophia...

there's this app called "photogene" which turns your pics into collages... perfect for wallpaper on the laptop, tablet and phone... as well as another topic for this blog...

ultimate frisbee sub cult

The Manila Spirits ultimate [frisbee] tournament. It happens once a year in November. It's when club teams from all over Asia [maybe even the world] come over to compete and party in one weekend of mayhem. I've participated lots of times before. But I've long since retired from the game. But that doesn't mean I can't party right... specially now that the party's host is Nightshift. 

You see this at the entrance of the bar
The Sprockets came in as a baseball team... and they all used the uniform of one guy named Silvestre

This group came in as characters from the movie musical Grease

Hells yeah!
Others came as cheerleaders and basketball team
Band music provided by Sidhi

presenting an event by the u.p. mountaineers sub cult...


fresh from my old files which i recently scanned... something i wrote way back in the 90s...


another one of those pseudo awards i got from my first job during my time in the advertising sub cult...


just visited my multiply sub cult after a long long time... i was surprised to see two contacts still active... ang tigas niyo mga pre...


how i wrote my first ever resignation letter way back in '96...


blue eagle sub cult

From my "junk files," I found my college transcript. 

This will debunk the prevailing popular belief that I was an academic genius in college hehehe [some subjects were easy A's while most of the subjects, I just did enough to pass].






advertising sub cult

While rummaging through files in my room, I found certain stuff from my old life... documents, work, poems. So I'm scanning some of them and showing my unsubcultured readers.

I used to be part of the dog eat dog world of advertising waaaaay back in the late 90s.... before I burned out. I worked in 3 different agencies... shined/shone in two of them. The last one was a marriage made in hell. Here's an award I got from my second agency  [looking back, I think I should have stayed there instead of going to the 3rd one, but what's done is done, decisions have been made and you can't cry over spilled milk]...

hiphop subcult

Just saw this poster on Facebook. Of course I'm not going because I am unsubcultured. But DJ Jazzy Jeff, erstwhile partner of The Fresh Prince [I know that!!!] will be coming over. Now that's a momentous musical occasion.



sesame street sub cult...

Which one of these things is not like the other? 





Remember that, kiddos?

blogger's block ongoing...

tv sub cult

Pre-holiday season. It's that dreaded time of the year when all my favorite US series will have season enders. Which means I probably won't have anything to watch or download during December.

Death Valley & How to Make it in America had their season enders.

The Walking Dead midseason finale will happen next week.
Community will go on hiatus and if rumors are to be believed, will get axed by the network. 

Chances are American Horror Story will go on holiday leave too. 

This sucks. Now what will I do with my [non-work] life?
