hele sa hiwagang hapis movie review

Guys watch tayo ng Hele sa Hiwa— Glentot (@theglentot) March 27, 2016
I know right? Seryoso ako nung nag-tweet ako kaya tinuloy ko talaga. Doon ako nanood sa Dolphy Theater sa loob ng ABS-CBN compound. Hindi naman ako nagpunta doon na clueless. Alam kong 8+ hours yung movie. So pagkagaling ko sa work, natulog naman ako ng 2 hours bago sumabak. At nagbaon ako ng dalawang bags ng Jagabee. I was all set for the Hele challenge.

tip talk

Just a quick background: One day I received a phone call from a fellow blogger and friend, Sir Boyong Aldana, who currently teaches Literature at the Technological Institute of the Philippines. The Languages and Literature Society, under his advisory, will be holding its Annual Convention and I was invited to be the guest speaker. Of course I said yes, I was honored and excited, sure kelan yan game go go go.

After the call, in the quiet and solitude of my apartment, I was left thinking to myse...

paaralin si maria

Hey Kids! One of my blogger friends, Ms Cecila Cabiao, asked me if I can lend some help her and her friends in promoting their cause, which is to send Aeta 2nd graders to school. They provide school supplies and hold feeding programs too. I'm happy to help out in my little way, so here it is!



Dali! Paaralin natin si Maria!




“Thank you po, Kuya”…these words made deafening reverberations inside my ear, as if I just successfully performed a complicated heart surgery…


The gratitude came from 7 year o...

call center

Call center (agent) ka?" Yan ang madalas kong marinig na tanong sa akin tuwing may mapapag-usapan kung saan ako nagtatrabaho. Kapag sinabi kong sa Makati ako nagtatrabaho, Ahh, call center? Kapag sinabi kong night shift, Ahh call center? Kapag sinabi kong nasa US ang mga kliyente, Ahh, call center?

Kapag may nagtanong sa akin kung sa call center ako nagtatrabaho, sinasabi ko Oo. Ang totoo, sa isang BPO company rin ako nagtatrabaho. Night shift kami. Nasa US lahat ng clients, at madalas kausap...

blogging 2016

When I started blogging 8 or 9 years ago, I had zero readers. I only had my closest friends to read my stories. These are real-life friends who accepted me and my evil streak, who did not judge me for my questionable decision-making skills and just generally laughed at my antics. I had no fear of being judged, so I had no fear in writing. So I wrote a lot. Full-on blogger mode.

A couple of years later came what I recall to be the golden era of personal blogs. Everybody had a blog. Suddenly I h...

wickedmouth - unang putok e-book

Hey Kids! Habang pareho tayong naghihintay ng Book 2, sabi ni Kuya Ching (publisher, BHM), gawin na lang muna naming e-book ang Unang Putok para sa mga hindi nakakuha ng copy ng first printing. And that was how the idea was born.

Before I go any further gusto kong magpasalamat. Ang unang printing namin ay 2000 copies and within months, most of it ay naubos na. I had been getting emails from different National Book Store branches na nagrerequest ng new batch of deliveries, kaso hindi na kami na...

office talk 2

I believe in the saying IF YOU'RE BORED, IT'S YOUR FAULT. This is why kapag nasa office, we try to make it a little bit more fun to lessen the stress. Sa tagal naming magkakasama halos araw-araw, we have developed our own ways to communicate.... which crosses the line into the realm of ~*sexual harrassment*~. To express ourselves better ganyan. Just for fun.

Calls

Part of our work day is spent calling our clients just to maintain good relations. It's a measure of our productivity and also...

the joy of cooking

I don't cook because I can't cook. Hindi yung pa-cute na Hindi ako marunong sa gawaing bahay senyorito ako kind of disability, kundi yung Anong mauunang ilagay, yung mantika o yung tubig kind of disability. Sinusubukan ko naman eh. Hindi lang talaga ako magaling, pero edible naman (for me) ang luto ko.

It's not like I had the best teachers. Sa amin, si Pudrax ang magaling magluto. Name it, nailuto nya na. Papaitan, sisig, kilawin, ganyan. Basta pang-pulutan, kayang-kaya nya lutuin ya...

stand by me doraemon movie review

Do you remember where you were when you first heard of Doraemon? I think I was in third year high school. I remember watching it after classes, right when I get home. There was something about this 3-episode daily show that really captured my attention, and in the process I may have lost some precious moments with my high school friends, because instead of hanging out with them, I always had to rush home just to watch this cat robot and his dorky friend.



You can't blame me, hanging out with Do...
