Misnomers
I'm on this creative streak, so I'm in the middle of layouting this UPDS issue primer on the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity, but I needed images for it. So I typed "MILF" on my best friend, Google Images.

But I totally forgot that "MILF" also stands for "Mom I'd Like To Fuck." So, instead of rebel soldiers and the war in Mindanao, I got pictures of middle-aged American women in nothing but small aprons and kinky rubber gloves.

I just came back from Singapore yesterday and I loved it there! I'm sorry, colonial mentality na kung colonial mentality, pero shet, ang ganda doon. The urban planning was so neat and symmetrical and so logical. People walked or commuted instead of drove because there were actual sidewalks and their trains were extensive and drivers actually followed the traffic rules. And my favorite (and most shallow reason) is the fact that the difference isn't so jarring because, well, everybody's still Asian.

Pero, stress, Singapore is just too expensive for my grepaness. I remember walking down Orchard Road where we were staying and we passed by a mall named Isetan. But no, the shops there were Salvatore Ferregamo and Prada. Nainsulto ang Isetann ng Cubao.

Don't you hate it that we had to have been under Spain and the US? Bakit hindi na lang tayo Commonwealth!?

Ang sarap kaya mag commute around Singapore. Mag commute ka around Manila and you will really appreciate the efficiency of their transportation system. :p

waitaminute, kapeng mainit-- you have a Skins icon? A Tony/Cassie icon? What up, I didn't know you watched that show! (or is that an assumption I shouldn't make just because you have an icon?)

I watch Skins and am awaiting the third season already! GUH. Not a Tony/Cassie fan though. I just love Cassie's hair here. XP

Haha, I see, I see. OMG I still haven't seen last season's finale. After Chris, I don't know if I wanna see it! D: Plus, third season will be Effy's crew na, hindi na sila Tony. :\

It took me so long to watch the finale after the Chris episode too! And hi, I cried my ass off when Cassie when to NY just because. And when she woke up that the boy wasn't there anymore. D:

I love Effy. I hate her friends. Especially the annoying girl in Season 1's Effy episode.
