After eating with my family in Trinoma yesterday, I headed to Gateway to meet some bloggers Mica and Noemi for the screening of Panudlak, a documentary about Filipino volunteers in Cambodia. After the film, Mica and I joined Jen, Billycoy, Manolo, and Arbet for dinner.
We were about to go home, but we decided to check out the action happening at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. And this is what we saw:
Yes, we joined Jocjoc Bolante’s convoy to St. Luke’s Medical Center and saw the whole action. Yes, I got a crappy camera phone. Arbet and Manolo (Manolo’s Flickr Set “Chasing Bolante”) got better pictures of Jocjoc’s convoy.
Here’s Arbet’s video of Jocjoc Bolante in a stretcher being brought out of the ambulance:
You could also check out the blog entry of Jen, Arbet and Manolo about the things that happened last night. My thoughts are all over the place right now that I don’t know how to write about the Jocjoc hullabaloo last night.
For the second time, I am joining NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)! My first time to write a NaNoWriMo novel was in 2007. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reach 50,000 words because of so many things.
I’m excited to start writing my NaNoWriMo novel, which has the working title, “Is This A Mistake?” that revolves around Emmett, a 17-year-old student. I am eager to finish my NaNoWriMo novel this year for winners will get their novels printed by CreateScape for free! Isn’t that nice? I’ve been wishing to have my own book / novel published but I don’t have the money and time to do so.
Anyway, if you’re interesting in joining NaNoWrimo you could visit their official website, http://www.nanowrimo.org. If you want to meet other Filipino NaNoWriMo writers, check out the official website of the Philippine NaNoWriMo Community, http://www.pinoywrimos.com/.
During the last few weeks of my first semester, I spent most of my time in UP Manila taking examinations and submitting a few requirements. Since UP Manila is just a stone-throw away from Robinson’s Place Manila, I decided to try White Hat, the Italian Frozen Yogurt which my blogger friends are bragging about.
I believe that frozen yogurt is the in thing now with the birth of different places offering the classic or flavored frozen yogurt. Of the two different frozen yogurt places I’ve tried, White Hat is the best. The White Hat classic frozen yogurt is as sour as those yogurts available in grocery stores with a little bit of sweetness, which I really liked. I want my frozen yogurt sour because if it’s sweet then it’s not yogurt anymore.

Frozen yogurt is the best-tasting dessert you can eat without the guilt. Aside from enjoying the classic frozen yogurt on its own, you can choose on the wide array of topping you can put on your frozen yogurt. My favorites include: Homemade cheesecake, fresh strawberries and Kiwi.
After trying it for the very first time, I found myself going back to their store just to have my frozen yogurt fix. White Hat’s classic frozen yogurt is really made of pure win!
White Hat has branches in Robinson’s Place Midtown Wing and SM Mall of Asia. For more information, you could check their website at www.thewhitehat.com.ph.
I should be at Taste Asia, SM Mall of Asia tonight for a bloggers’ party organized and sponsored by Pantene. But here I am at home watching the primetime news. Something hit me that I suddenly want to stay home and be alone.
There are a lot of things going on in my mind right now that I don’t know what to do. I’m stalling. I’ve been neglecting my blogs and the other blogs that I write for.
How I wish there’s a DELETE delete button in real life so I could delete everything and start from scratch.
I hate myself now. Really. Why am I like this? I feel like shit. I feel worthless. I feel ugly.
There’s too much negativity in my mind right now. And I don’t know what do.
You know how much I love you. And you know how much I care for you. I know that we have different tastes and preferences and I understand that. But for the past few months you’ve been annoying me with your evil EMO playlist. I am nursing a terrible headache right now and there you are playing the evil EMO playlist.
Whenever I’m taking a nap, you would always play that stupid and evil EMO playlist. It’s too loud my dear and those screaming people SCARES AND IRRITATES THE SHIT OUT OF ME.
You know, there are several times that I attempt to delete your playlist without your knowledge but I didn’t. So be thankful because I’m such a good brother to you.
So please, my good and modest little sister Roxanne, be considerate enough. I am not asking you to stop listening to that kind of music because I know I won’t succeed. But, you can always use the earphones whenever you want to play that shit while I’m taking a nap because I AM SICK AND TIRED OF WAKING UP TO THAT SHIT!
I am hoping for your kind consideration.
Love lots,
Your Brother
