The Walking Dead

Image
I'm not particularly fond of graphic violence. Given that, it's safe to assume that I don't enjoy watching zombie movies. However, my partner is a fan. A few months ago, she bought one of those bootleg DVDs that contained 15 movies in one, and, as expected, all of them were zombie movies. She asked me to watch them with her, but naturally, I wasn't keen on the idea. You can imagine the harmony in our relationship. One day, boredom struck, and there was nothing else to occupy my time. The house needed cleaning, but I lacked the motivation to do it. I had already watched all the DVDs at home multiple times. That left me with the zombie DVD, the one thing I hadn't even considered inserting into the disc tray of the player. It was a choice between cleaning the house or watching a zombie movie (a not-so-life-altering predicament). The decision was clear. Laziness prevailed. I glanced at the list of movie titles on the DVD. I recognized a few, but most of them seemed to b...

A Beautiful Song without an Intro

A pearl wholeheartedly offered Reluctant hands full of worry Never did they hold such treasure Never did they felt so worthy During a point of vast unease Bright eyes gaze to me as the sky Melancholy began to cease An answer to life’s utmost why Effortless this sunshine is brought Be rid the gloom of yesterday Contentment that is life-long sought Unknowingly along the way Something so gentle and so small Can make a man stand on his feet My beautiful song, thanks for all Without an intro but complete

The Undaunted Filipino Spirit

Image
This piece is dedicated to all Filipinos who struggled to survive yet another catastrophe (this time in the form of two typhoons in succession with the monsoon rains). I hope that we all get back on our feet again soon. The dialogue literally translates to "Is that all you can do? Pfft! You're nothing!!" Ferdie and Gener are the designated names of the typhoons that hit us along with the monsoon (habagat).

Define Irony

Select the appropriate option: a. Helping a child study for 6 hours to prepare for 3 important exams the following day, only to discover that classes have been canceled due to flooding. b. Sending your dirty clothes to a laundry shop to avoid the inconvenience of carrying them back home to the province for washing, only to realize that the area around the laundry shop is flooded and inaccessible, leaving you with no alternative clothes. c. Agreeing to a P200 contract with a taxi driver, assuming it would be a cost-saving measure due to heavy traffic and a distant motel, only to find out that a metered taxi ride would have only cost P50. d. Seeking revenge on a cashier who overcharged you for a toothbrush by cranking up the air conditioning, but waking up the next day with a runny nose and a sore throat. e. All of the above. f. None of the above. g. Please make a selection already, for heaven's sake!

My 30 Wishes

Image
30 is not that bad, especially for people who are 50. - Anonymous Today marks the beginning of my thirties, a milestone worth embracing. There's no denying the passing of time, just as there's no resisting the tradition of blowing out candles and making wishes. For those curious about my desires, here they are: Discover the secret 11 herbs and spices of KFC and boldly change three of them, leaving people bewildered and exclaiming, "What on earth is happening?" Witness Manny Pacquiao's extraordinary transition to the UFC and see him face off against Anderson Silva. Enlist the Mythbusters to test every known Filipino superstitious belief, providing entertainment as Kari Byron fearlessly explores the impact of showering during her period. Experience the long-awaited reunion of the original cast in a Friends movie. Ten-tenenenen-ten-tenenen! Encounter a 'No Jaywalking' or 'No Smoking' sign that miraculously commands compliance. Organize a hentai-cospla...
