STORY TIME: OMG, The Memory Gap Almost Killed Me! 😂 - 02/20/2025

OMG, The Memory Gap Almost Killed Me! 😂   So, you know that super frustrating feeling when your brain just decides to forget something REALLY important? Yeah, the memory gap. It's the WORST. Like, seriously petrifying. You're stuck, paralyzed, unable to do ANYTHING until that missing piece of info magically reappears. It's happened to all of us, right?   Anyway, I was scrolling through TikTok (as one does) and I saw this singer who totally reminded me of Amy Winehouse. Immediately, I thought of another singer who sounded similar, but BAM! Memory gap. Poof! Gone. Two HOURS I spent searching the internet. I tried everything: "Amy Winehouse-ish singers," "soulful divas," even "singers who could be Amy's long-lost twin." Nothing. I was starting to think I was losing it. Was this the beginning of the end? Would I become a brain-dead zombie forever haunted by the ghost of a forgotten singer?   Then, finally, I saw her pi...

Story Time - ANGKAS DRIVER story - 02/19/2025

STORY TIME: My Angkas Adventures - 02/19/2025   Pag-out ko today sa work, nag-book ako ng Angkas para umuwi ng bahay. Excited na ako kasi pagod na pagod na ako! Pag-exit ko ng building, may nakita akong Angkas na nakapark sa tapat. I mouthed the rider's name "Jerry?" to confirm, and kuya nodded. Feeling ko, ako na ang pinaka-efficient na pasahero ever! Nagsuot na ako ng hairnet (alam niyo na, safety first!), umupo sa motor niya, and then… he asked me, "Saan ka po malapit sa McKinley?"   Shock. Confusion. Awkward laughter.   Na-shock ako kasi… hindi ako yung pasaherong tinutukoy niya! Natawa ako kasi ang epic ng sitwasyon. Super hiyang-hiya ako, pero hiningi ko na lang yung hairnet since suot ko na. Ang awkward! Pagbaba ko, nakita ko yung isang Angkas sa unahan namin, and he looked at me. I mouthed, "Jerry?" He nodded. Tawa ako nang tawa habang kinukwento ko sa kanya yung nangyari. Mali pala yung sinakyan kong Angkas! Grabe, ang clumsy ko!...

A Movie Review: Captain America: New Brave World 2025

Captain America: New Brave World - A Simple Review   Last Wednesday night, I found myself slumped in a Glorietta 4 cinema seat, half-awake and facing the daunting prospect of Captain America: New Brave World. Now, to be completely upfront, I'm not exactly a die-hard MCU devotee. My knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, shall we say, patchy. And let's just say my level of alertness wasn't exactly optimal – I was battling a serious case of the mid-week slump. So, take this review with a grain of salt (or maybe a whole shaker, given my sleep-deprived state).   Honestly, the movie was a bit of a mixed bag. Some parts were really exciting, with cool action scenes and interesting characters.   One thing that piqued my interest was the introduction of Adamantium. I'm not entirely sure how it fit into the broader MCU narrative, but as someone with a passing interest in the material science of fictional metals, I found this aspect quite engaging. The mo...
