  • World Wide (Economic) Suicide

    After going on a little retail therapy yesterday (I was inspired by Neil Gaiman’s newly released novel, The Graveyard Book) I took time off to watch the news. Growing up, I was exposed to listening to early morning news shows on the radio and watching late night news programs rather than watching cartoons and entertainment… Continue reading

  • Time To Get A Grip

    It is not a surprise that I struggled long and hard with my temper. I keep my temper in check the moment I wake up until the time I close my eyes at night. I find it difficult to articulate what is exactly wrong with me. This anger. The feeling of wading through oceans and… Continue reading

  • Anger Management, Making Amends and Conspiracy Theories

    I’ve been thinking about some sordid things lately. I always abhor the idea of being in a large group and maybe that’s because I stand witness at how a seemingly petty misunderstanding could turn ugly. Saw that in HS and saw it in College. That’s why as a rule, I only keep a small circle… Continue reading

  • Insightful Linguist, I Are.

    I was so bored that I did what any person would do, I checked out how my I.Q. was faring from my seemingly unending inactivity. Surprisingly enough, my I.Q. level fared better than my back which ached like crazy by the time I finished the test. Actually, I took two I.Q. tests and surprises of… Continue reading

    How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, Tina- Style

    Things have been a little rough lately. I think the string of bad news got triggered by a little argument between me and that Boy last month. It’s been bad news ever since and it’s leaving me a bit frustrated about people in general. Dealing with people sure is difficult and if you happen to… Continue reading

  • Crezi for Gadgets!

    Pinching pennies, that’s what I’ve been doing in the past months mainly because 1) I wanna fatten up the bank account for future endeavor and 2) I wanna prepare myself this coming Christmas season so that I could hand out the best gifts I could… screw this, who am I kidding? I’m saving monies because… Continue reading

  • Rockin’ The Shores and such…

    I’m pretty stoked. Good things have been finding their way to me. First off, I’ll be heading to Boracay for a much-needed vacation! The great thing about this is that I don’t have to spend a dime! Well, almost. But that’s not the point. The point is that I need to re-charge and the timing… Continue reading

  • Screeching To A Halt.

    I’ve been burning brain cells last week thinking what gadget I should buy next, a digi-cam or a new mobile phone? At first I was all set on buying this Nokia music phone but my sister suggested I go for Wi-fi ready phones like o2, Blackberry or an iPhone. “To bai or not to bai,… Continue reading

  • College Buds

    Last Saturday, I met up with my college buds. Some of them I haven’t seen for more than four years. Well, some were not able to make it save for Fly Boi, Ria and this gay dude. So yes, Fly Boi is back but it might be for the last time. He’s Dubai-bound and is… Continue reading

  • Fly Boi Retarns!

    Fly Boi: Eto, may joke ako. Anung tawag dito (points at the facial hair below his lower lip)Tina: Errr… ano?Fly Boi: Tsaka.Tina: Eh?Fly Boi: Bigote, Tsaka, Goatee.Tina: Naks, yan yung tipong joke na kala ko namatay na nung circa 1990 pa ah.
