Are You Santa? Tell The Truth

Are You Santa? Tell The Truth

Are You Santa?

What will you say when she asks?

One of the most disappointing things kids need to find out is the fact that Santa isn’t real. I don’t have kids yet, so I might not have to answer this question for a good 10 years, but I think this is the perfect, most sincere way of telling my kids that their bouncy, red-clad friend haven’t been filling up their socks with treats:

A Warning: Mid-20s is the age when people start telling you to get married

A Warning: Mid-20s is the age when people start telling you to get married

Ties at Golden Bay Restaurant

NOT in a rush

And after you get married, they’ll start pestering you to have kids. And your friends getting married (or getting pregnant) one after another is no help at all. K and I have been together for 6 years and neither of us have siblings. Imagine that–sometimes I think our relatives are more excited for our wedding than we are, haha.

DrumMania

Pound for pound

K and I had a phase when all we did after office hours is go to mall the and play DrumMania all afternoon. It was back when we’re both drummer wannabes and can’t yet afford the rather steep prices of drumming lessons (if I remember correctly, our favorite songs to play were Libra, Monster Tree, and Saccharine Smile).

Cast of Hunger Games

The gorgeous cast

I tend to be overly enthusiastic about things I love and this will be unnecessarily long. I apologize in advance for that.

The Hunger Games official trailer was released yesterday! Three of my friends almost simultaneously tagged me in Fa]cebook with the video a few minutes after midnight last night (they know I have an obsession), and wow! The wait was definitely worth it. The trailer was superb.

I was a kid again at Manila Zoo

I was a kid again at Manila Zoo

Mali the elephant

Mali from Manila

A few weeks ago, I read several articles about the depressing state of Manila Zoo. I was so disheartened by the photos I saw and stories I’ve read: horses and donkeys with bones poking through their skin, monkeys eating plastic, and various animals living in their own filth. A lot of people called for the zoo to close down and I can’t say they overreacted. I myself wanted to close it down after seeing those horrible photos. And even after going there myself and seeing that it’s really not half as bad as it looked in articles I’ve read online, I still want it to close down.
