你好！Dear reader (that's you), if my posts provide any amount of entertainment value to you at all (you twisted thing you), be my guest, help yourself. And hey, don't hesitate to leave a thought, footprint, point of view, or credit card number. I'm flexible like that.

By the way, if you're hovering over that "Add as contact" link and your profile pic is not an actual photo or it looks like mud, please know that I recall names and faces like I recall advanced calculus -- I don't. Save me the shame; do include a message. What? You don't really know me, but "add" buttons make you twitch? I'll be blunt; chances for approval are slimmer than Calista Flockheart, but if you insist, do start with "Online Buddy". Introductions might help, too. Might.

Now, surf on through. :)

Chris Brown & Rihanna Live @ Taguig

15-in MacBook Pro

Brand new and unused. This is the top-of-the-line 15-in MacBook Pro, just a notch under the 17-incher. No box, but all the accessories originally included are intact. No, I didn't steal it or otherwise acquire it in any illegal or socially... more

House S4 finale

Some of the most meaningful lines from the most engaging season-ender of the best show on TV today. In my opinion, at least. SPOILER ALERT: I didn't indicate who said what, but still, read at your own risk. This story arc is... more

We Didn't Start The Flame War

This one is from CollegeHumor.com, a great resource for stupid things to see when you're bored. I thought this little number got the whole online forum culture down pat. Enjoy. :)

FFVII: Advent Children Sountrack

At the risk of saturating my site with too much FFVII stuff, here are some of my favorite tracks from the movie. This has got to be one of the best movie soundtracks I've ever heard. Around half of the 2-CD collection contains rock/metal tracks, but... more

Sinigang na baboy

Suuuper simple sinigang that I learned from Mayor David during my stay in Beijing. This is by no means a Kamayan-grade recipe, but for students in foreign countries or dormers who are craving for a quick pinoy dish, this is perfect.
