It is Daniel Craig once again covered in dirt and sweat working hard to do the impossible. The story of “Cowboys & Aliens” is set in 1873, the cowboy era. I was a bit con …
“You are much smaller than how I imagine you to be,” said one colleague of mine from India whom I have not met before in real life. We were having lunch at our office canteen. …
It was November 25, 2005 when I upgraded my home computer to the one that was powered by the 64-bit AMD chip. Over the years, I have incrementally upgraded its parts until recently, my 6 …
Cynthia often pokes fun at me saying that I have a special relationship with the primates. And she does not mind accompanying me to watch “Rise of the Plant of the Apes” (what …
I still remember where I was on the 261st day after Cataclysm. I was outside the Royal Bank of Stormwind when I spotted a new poster on the Hero’s Call noticeboard. It said: The Gu …
Of the four showcased in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thus far – Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America – I would say, Captain America wins my heart. He is humble with a n …
It was food poisoning, my doctor said to me. I was not surprised, judging at the symptoms I have since last night. Where did you eat, he asked. It was a food court at Sim Lim Square whe …
For the past one week, Cynthia has been nudging me to watch “Wu Xia”. Normally she is not into Chinese movie, so I was curious. Then I found out that Takeshi Kaneshiro is starring in the …
My Google+ invite came in a good timing. I am seldom an early adopter when it comes to technology. I have yet to install a webcam for my computer. When I first signed up for Google+, I …

El rape, in Spanish, can mean a type of fish called monkfish. I have no idea how ugly it is until I looked it up in Wikipedia. One classmate from our Spanish class commented that monkfis …
Oh yes. I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou. Has it been two years since she graced our local theaters? It certainly seems so. One time, I met one of my readers in person, all because of …
Uff. Finalmente, I have read a story written in Spanish (just yesterday). Ironically, it is not as Spanish as I would have expected. It is a story of an owl banished from his own kind a …

Last Saturday I woke up with my right eye red. I suspect that has something to do with the intense online gaming I had the night before, not entirely sure. Cynthia and I woke up early on …
I do not suppose what Ogawa wrote is unrealistic. At times, we read in the news about some women who are victims of domestic violence but yet, they have a tendency to return to the very s …
That’s right! I woke up one day and found a stack of movie tickets to giveaway, courtesy of STAR Movies VIP Access. 15 of my lucky readers will be watching the highly anticipated T …
