About Last Night
I felt like a tourist when I let Regina lead me for a ladies night clubbing experience at Clarke Quay last night. We first went to Attica, the well-known sleazefest of Ang Mohs and SPGs, and met up with Ginger and her friends. I still can’t believe they give free entry and 5 drink coupons to ladies. It’s just too good to be true. And it was. Because it was fucking packed inside. I...
Love For Everyone!
FUCK YES. EXAMS ARE OVER.
Thought that I’d be indifferent about it, but I am overjoyed.
Time to let harmful substances take over my mind and body.

Time And Tide Kills Me
The cliché I hate most is time and tide waits for no man because my Dad uses it on me every month. What’s worse is that every single time, before he says it, he builds it up as if I’m going to hear the line for the first time. UGHHHHHHHHH.

Bacha Bazi - The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan 1/6 →
Above is the link to a documentary about Bacha Bazi, a strange tradition in which underage boys are taken in by rich and powerful owners who train them to dance in women’s clothes for parties and engage in sex.
I don’t blame them for engaging in sodomy because I would do the same if all the women are covered up in blue tents. But it is sick that money has so much more power than laws...
Day 1 Post-Paper
S/U is such a mindfuck. For my non-NTU friends, S/U is an option whereby you can declare on a subject so that you just have to pass to get the Academic Units, and the grade won’t count into your overall GPA. The fucked up thing is, you have to declare which subject you want to S/U before the exam.
So I declared S/U for Sociology of the Life Course. I studied it as much as my other papers,...

Assange vs The World
source
The Wikileaks saga brings together debates on journalism, the truth, technology, and corporations - much like a manly action movie. And I must add that it helps to have an attractive lead. I just love the way Julian Assange carries himself. The way he confidently speaks about intelligent-sounding stuff about the Iraq war, and how his hair is funky and platinum white.
Something like...

C'mon Get Happy
source
If I were ever forced to make a list of my favourite movies, Little Voice would be in it, along with Jurassic Park. I love Little Voice’s voice so much in this movie that it could almost make me cry.
This small scale movie is about a timid girl nicknamed LV for little voice, who lives with her trashy mother, and gets forced into show business by a money-chasing bunch. LV doesn’t speak...

Fuck Efficiency
Mike giving tips about dressing up on The Ugly Truth.
Mike: You’re all about comfort and efficiency! Abby: What’s wrong with comfort and efficiency? Mike: Well nothing, except no one wants to fuck it.
HAHAHAHAH. True.
Warm And Rainy
Today was quite a good last day of school.
Finally finished with our fucking 401 presentation, and I learnt that Duffy remembers my name!!! He loves me so much that he has given our group super grades.
Saw some cute ang mohs around school today too. Hopefully there are more exchange students next semester. And I should really just rename this blog hellofilipinospg.tumblr.com.
So for now,...
