Sorry if I haven’t updated lately. Family came and decided to spend a
couple of days in the desert. What is there to do in Vegas aside from
gambling? Actually, they offer a lot for the non-gamblers out there. We
weren’t there for the gambling for sure but to see the sights and squeeze
in [...]

This is a “big” picture of her. I swear no pun intended.
Malu Fernandez, the self-proclaimed bitch and everyone’s favorite jet-setting, Jo Malone-scented lifestyle columnist, has just resigned from the Manila (sub)Standard and People Asia Magazine and I quote:
“I am humbled by the vehement and heated response provoked by my article entitled ‘From Boracay to Greece!’ [...]

I was surfing the web today and saw at bryanboy’s blog some drama unfolding on the other part of the globe. An article for People Asia magazine that came out coupla weeks ago written by a certain Malu Fernandez entitled “From Boracay to Greece”. To read the article, please follow the links below:

Nose Trouble
Posted in Rants, tagged nose hair trimmer on August 18, 2007 | Comments Off
In recent years, I have added another thing on my list of pet peeves. One of them is nose hair. Ugh. Long, coarse, curly, stubborn hair that grows like dandelions in there, tickling the inside of your nose and, on occasion, peeking out from a nostril and causing people to look like a fucking caveman.
While talking [...]

PECKERS at the Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon
I am no vegan. I like chicken, pork and beef. I also like the ubiquitous turkey during Thanksgiving. But why do we eat so much chicken? The other birds must have formed a marketing committee and nominated the chicken to become the most popular meat of all time. That’s one of the things I’ve thought [...]
Fry and Laurie

Oh look what I found on youtube! It’s an old skit from Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Watch the whole thing.
“She won’t let me give her so much as a-”
“Good juicy tongue in the back passage.”
So hilarious!!!!
Is it just me or does Hugh Laurie looks like Chloe Sevigny when he wore [...]

“Arrogance has to be earned. Tell me what you’ve done to earn yours” – Gregory House, M.D.
Gregory House is not your average TV doctor. Though he’s unquestionably brilliant, his bedside manner lies somewhere between indifference and disdain. He would prefer not to talk to his patients at all, actually, because while “First, do no harm” [...]

Getting Owen Wilson’s nose out of my system
Owen Wilson, I heart him, but what’s the deal with his nose? I can’t stop staring at it, it’s mesmerizing. I thought I’d take a moment and try to exhaust my fascination so I can get on with my life…
In her her review of “Wedding Crashers”, Debra Dickerson from Salon shares our [...]
Civic Duty

So I was the lucky recipient of a summons to report for jury duty. Of course, my initial reaction was the all too common, “Oh no! I don’t have time for this. How can I get out of it?” But then, I decided I might as well do my civic duty, participate in our judicial [...]
Serve with sarcasm on the side

Reality TV is actually an oxymoron. Everyone knows that reality TV is scripted. It is a revolutionary art-form that both reflects and evolves modern society in a fascinating way. Whilst it does have its critics, its overwhelming popularity quashes these objections and undoubtedly proves the enormous cultural value of representing real [...]
