“Flos Carmeli? Where’s that?”
That’s what I usually hear whenever I’m asked where I finished elementary and high school. Well, I can’t help it if Flos Carmeli Institution of Quezon City (FCIQC) is not popular since:
* it’s in a far place - West Fa(i)rview, QC
* it has no connections with popular schools
* it has no “blockbuster” student which proudly declares his FCIQC roots

Gulaman is a long staple food here in the Philippines. You would usually see this sold in street corners. It's a delicious drink especially when you're really thirsty (or if you just came from a game of basketball). And it didn't take long for one to think of a way to bottle this drink and sell them in supermarkets.
This is where I discovered Joy Black Gulaman.

Ball hog. Dirty player. A case of molestation… name it all and nothing will ever change… Kobe is the best basketball player as of late!
I'm not a Kobe Bryant fan. Actually, I don't like him as a player. Yes, I admit that he was great even from long ago. But it is only this year when I truly admired his greatness.

When was the first time you were able to look at "bold"? Me, when I was in grade six! Promise, no jokes! My former classmate (who's now a famous actor) gave me some Playboy and Hustler from his elder brother's collection (who's also a famous actor). That was the time when I saw the light and the first time I… you know…
But if it's movies, I was only able to watch them when I was in seond year high school. And it is this film, Pretty Peaches 2, that taught me the meaning of taking off clothes and getting on top.

Small, cheap, and delicious… that's the ensaymada of Megamelt. It's exactly made for snack time, especially if you're on a trip or waiting for a taxi along the sides of SM Makati!
I was able to eat Megamelt ensaymada recently and I found out that it's really delicious. Unlike normal ensaymadas you could get from bakeries, the ensaymadas from Megamelt are full of cheese on top of the bread. Simply biting the food is excellent due to the cheese (they might be using Eden cheese), the soft dough even at nighttime, and the many variants of their bread.

Appliances that come to life. Appliance that walk in the jungle. Appliance that fight with other appliances. Man! If this happens in real life, I would've run in terror!
This is the story of "The Brave Little Toaster": appliances with their own lives and have this single goal of being played again by their "Master". Oh, you're having a dirty mind again! Played… it's because when their master was just a kid, everyone one of them was being fingered and being played in areas where they want to be touched…

It was only recently that I was able to eat a Yellow Cab pizza. Almost two years have passed since I first took a bite. It is only now that I am able to fathom that this pizza really tastes good!
Just like many Filipinos, I am very much familiar with pizzas from Shakey's, Pizza Hut, Greenwich and 3Ms. Many of us considered Yellow Can as "elite" and among the lines of "Kenny Roger's Roasters" (which was also dubbed before as "elite"). The first time I ate at Yellow Cab, I couldn't make up my mind on how to eat a single slice since it was really big (and I was shy to eat it with my bare hands since I was dining with people from ABS-CBN who are a bit elite).

Yes, I know films shown on IMAX in Mall of Asia are great but if it's excellence you want, you'll have nothing of it from films like T-Rex and Nascar!
I was able to watch these two films on IMAX; with T-Rex just this Saturday. I thought I'd be happy since it'll feature dinosaurs but I was had. The film sucks. Only a few scenes have good 3D effects. Damn. Ugly.

Psycho music! Yup, this is what I realized when I heard the album of Giniling Festival. They are a band which is currently gaining recognition within the Pinoy music scene. And based on their album, they have a very strong chance to become popular.
Giniling Festival's type of music is more on heavy metal. Their sound can be compared to another Pinoy band, Kiko Machine. Even the lyric style looks the same. Although, the sound of Giniling Festival has more strength. It's a lot like Kamikazee during their early gig days.

I have a lingering doubt with wome Hollywood films. Sometimes, I think that some whole movies are directed by Filipinos. The plot lines are exactly the same! The only difference is that "imported" films have greater appeal. That's how I felt when my honey and I watched "Love Wrecked".
According to IMDB, Love Wrecked was released last 2005. It is starred by Amanda Bynes, a very cute teen that up to now is still cute. It is just sad to see that she stars in this awful fim.
