I was craving for rice cake so I went to Market!Market! to buy sapin-sapin. The guy at the stall randomly asked, "Ma'am, do you have a race?" For one split second I was tempted to be a smart-ass and say "Well, for the most part, I'm human." I think what he was trying to ask was if I was of mixed ethnicity. Funny how that came out.

A while ago I found that my kitchen pipe was leaking and I was on the verge of an Ondoy disaster. I looked like that little Dutch boy trying to plug the hole in the dam with his finger. My best plumbing ghetto fix - wrap that damn hole with clingwrap.
I knew this was beyond my basic plumbing skills so I called the maintenance guy to assess the damage. He said, "Ma'am, we need an angle bulb." I thought to myself, this is the first time I've heard of a bulb being used under the sink. But what do I know? So I went to MC Home Depot and showed them the part. Product label reads: "angle valve". Toing!

Animatronics
If you're clueless as to what level up means or think MMPORG is a goverment agency, you can stop reading now - this one is for the geeks.
I've recently seen RPG Metanoia and I'm praising the heavens for the pool of creative geniuses and their financial sponsors who finally came up with a refreshing story that is not the nth remake of Shake, Rattle and Roll, a horror film featuring Kris Aquino, or another misadventure of Enteng Kabisote.
Sidenote: I'm still confused why we show horror movies during Christmas season. Somebody must have an irrational obsession for Halloween, or he just wants to play the Grinch and spoil your Christmas by scaring the wits out of you.
There are just way too many good reasons why you should see RPG Metanoia. Who would want to miss a bentilador and longganisa in animated 3D? I laud the attention to detail, the smooth character animation and the brilliant script. The only miss in this movie is the dubbing. Makes you think of the Tagalog-dubbed Ghostfighter. (Remember Master Eugene who'd be pre-pubescent in one episode, and an old croaking frog the next? And there's Toguro and his 100% muscle power. Classic.)
I really hope the DVD release would have good subtitles that'll capture the poignant ways of Pinoy life. The winning one-liner: "Naka-level up na kooo!"
Check out the movie's website at www.rpgthemovie.com.
A few words on Tron - flat script, hip soundtrack, superb graphics. I was expecting Jeff Bridges to bring his Big Lebowski humor into this movie but was sorely disappointed. The humor's as dry as my skin in cold weather.
With every scene peppered with strobing neon lights and Daft Punk tunes, topped with that rebel biker hottie Garrett Hedlund, this movie makes the perfect alternative to a Zoukout party . If you're suffering from migraine, best to sit this one out.

Nobody Nobody But You
First two days of 2011 and I feel like somebody can drive a bamboo stick through me, and roast me like last media noche's lechon. When you live with my mother, expect to be force-fed five times a day. I'm stuffed to my tonsils and I'm ready to cleanse my body of the excess salt, sugar and fat that have been clogging my bloodstream since December 31st. I went to the gym today to jumpstart my 2011 detox regime and brought myself some oatmeal which I intend to consume for the next 7 days (fiber, jeeves!). I'm not fat - I'm just neurotic.
I figured I might as well pay a visit to the salon since I'm starting to look like someone who's had a kuwitis gone awry land on her head. I went to this salon called Tony and Jackey at Market!Market! (third floor). I wanted to get keratin hair treatment to get that Pantene shine back and get a side fringe/bangs. Now getting a side fringe could only mean two things 1) a fierce battle against my natural parting which is like fighting corruption in this country and 2) the risk of looking like Justin Bieber. Oh baby, baby, oh.
The hair stylists at Tony and Jackey were all Korean. It felt really cool to have a Korean cut your hair...they give you that small hope that they can turn you into a K-Pop star. Well, here's my best Wondergirls shot:
