Friday dinner in Laguna
The drive from Makati to Calamba via C5 then SLEX took an hour—less than the ride from Quezon City to Makati on a weekday.

Being normal is vastly overrated.
X-Men: First Class Normal people don't like me. I'd say the feeling is mutual, but I can't bear the thought of having anything in common with them. My problem with normal people isn't their absence of a personality, it's their insistence that everyone must be like them. I like humanity as a concept, it's individuals [...]
