So goodbye Bling and Chav, hello Nonebrities and Nomophobics! Here are just some of my favourite and freshest words of the year... Credit Crunch – No definition needed. Prolly the most pop of all in this list. bet it fares second only to ‘Beijing’ in the most used words category these days. Cripes – an old fashioned term of surprise, revived by new London Mayor Boris Boytox– the trend for men to have Botox Googleability – a word that I thought I invented, but apparently more common than a toaster Nonebrity – what the media is gorged to its seams – people of celeb status and nobody knows why.

In Canberra, Australia, a wife lashed back at her cheating hubby by auctioning off his mistress' lace undies on eBay. The listing was made by 'annastella007' and says the knickers "are so huge they make a nice shawl, even better, something for Halloween perhaps.". They also come with bonus with an empty condom wrapper size small that the wife found under the bed. So what are you waiting for?

All our misfortunes from this trip – mugged at gunpoint, losing all our belonging on day 1, being swidled by the Brit embassy, haemorrhaging lots more cash and eventually having to give up some part of the scheduled trips – was easily outweighed by the windfall of blessings. For the first time, I felt so much goodness in the world and that you can actually depend on the kindness of strangers... We met the most amazing set of friends in Sao Paulo,who really took care of us and nurtured us – our minds, hearts and bellies! Particularly, Monica and the Araraki family, Silvio and Umberto who never tire driving us around, even as far as going panty-shopping with me. They fed us, gave us some threads and reassured us with their genuine friendship and humour. Now James and I are learning Paulista Portuguese just so we can come back and talk to them more!

It’s just one of those days. James and I woke up early Saturday thinking... we ought to be doing something. Surely... "Staying in" is the new rage these days which makes it the old hat, because everybody’s bloody into it! And so we felt we must wander off. And wander we did. To Warwick. I forgot how and why. But we did. And stayed overnight. I wonder how and why. Perhaps it’s our anniversary. Or we missed the last train. Nevermind. We had a wicked time. I think Warwick does that to people. All that romance rubbish creeps in Unknowingly. You’re simply having fun before you even know it. Just like That day we first met.

Tue, 3 Jun 2008 17:24:56 -0000 Sevilla: A Very Spanish Experience Close your eyes and think of “Spanish”. You’d probably imagine flamenco dancers, toreros in bullrings, flowing sangrias and tapas, fiestas that last forever, and feverish football. Well, all that imagery is a reality in everyday Sevilla. This Andalucian capital is a caricature of anything and everything that is Spanish. Deeply traditional, a local lifestyle exists in a way that is no longer familiar in Europe. One can indulge in a tapas trail throughout the night, in the knowing certainty that Sangria will always outflow the river Guadalquivir, and at any time, the Sevillanos can break out into a flamenco trance, dancing until dawn. A bocadillo of the fiesta vibes, of savoury food and good company awaits every night. Nostalgia has also kept its presence in modern mechanics of Sevilla. Just like many hundreds of years ago, it remains the last threshold of the Old, where Columbus embarks from to discover the New World. Walk through its labyrinthine thoroughfares and the palm trees... http://twilightprincess.multiply.com/photos/album/73/Sevilla_A_Very_Spanish_Experience Sun, 1 Jun 2008 06:18:54 -0000 Prague: The Enchanted StoryBook City Prague is an enchanted storybook. Strolling through its labyrinth of archways and medieval castles is turning over its pages of tales of melded fantasy and histories. Its people are skilled story weavers who barter their legends and myths to willing ears. One can easily and eagerly get drunk with czechies’ tall tales (and tall pints of black lager) and make believe they are flying amidst the three-headed dragons and gargoyles under the full moon, dancing with a bewitching marionette maiden(5), and wandering around town in search for Golem (4), defender of the Jews, made of clay, mud and dark magic. One of the best places to be dazed with amazement is the Old Town Square (6). Here, you will find the Astronomical Clock (3). It has fascinated crowds for 600 years now, with its amusing carousel of the 12 apostles, Greed, Vanity, a Turk holding a bag of coins and Death smiling at Judas. The clock chimes and a cock crows, both blessing and cursing the town at every stroke of the hour. ... http://twilightprincess.multiply.com/photos/album/71/Prague_The_Enchanted_StoryBook_City Mon, 26 May 2008 14:27:25 -0000 How VW keeps London Safe Ok.

I'm doing a bit of research on which dslr to buy. I've been putting this off for the longest time cuz I am scared with the amount of stuff I need to consider. I hate shopping, I can be so anal about these things and will never forgive myself should I later on realise I chose wrongly. (argh!) ANYWAY, I've been sieving through net reviews and so on and have narrowed down my choices into two models - Canon 400d and Nikon d80. What do you think? Which one should I choose? I don't mind investing a fair amount of money into a camera so long as it has really good features and value for money. I'm a bit more inclined to go for Nikon. But because it is very expensive for me, I am needing a little reassurance from other people that this is the right choice. I know nothing about dslrs as of now but would want to pursue this as a serious hobby.

So when I heard she was organising a bachelorette party for another friend, I didn’t hesitate posing as a helping hand. By Friday, we firmed up the plans and by Thursday night, I was there. Friday was all chika fun and baking goodness. Lala is a dessert deity who makes everything from nothing, and it’s a joy to witness her magic in the kitchen. Not only are her cakes over-the-moon yummy, but they are <a href="http://cosmicbear.multiply.com/photos/album/3">visual feasts</a> too! Saturday was a mad rush. But we were both in our element, afterall, bachelorette parties is OUR thing. Having pulled an all-nighter to finish our very own Titi cake (through a handjob), we set the place and the games Lala has prepared in the afternoon. By 4:00 pm the do kicked-off. Everyone came…err…including the kids. The party was a pre-planned debauchery and was never meant for a family day, so my nerves were shot with panic as the stream of babies came through… ... http://twilightprincess.multiply.com/photos/album/68/Frankfurt_Where_Staying_In_is_the_new_Going_Out Mon, 28 May 2007 20:16:00 -0000 Looking to rent a 1BR condo or studio flat in Ortigas area I need help asap.

If only my new boots could talk, it’ll be sputtering curses at me by now. It had a hellish time in Lisbon either clambering up a hill or hopscotching down the cobbled streets at 90m/ph. Now the pair is bent as Pete Doherty, and with a crooked grin. But the owner herself is happy. Conquering Lisbon, the powerhouse of the first global empire spanning across six centuries of colonial rule, is good as gold in the coffers. Atop one of the seven hills of Lisbon, one could see what the Portuguese voyagers from the age of discovery have seen– farway horizons of the Atlantic promising the world - and that is priceless than those boots! Alfama is one place for such view. But much more beautiful is when you ‘look in’. This quarter, well preserved from the ravages of the 1755 earthquake or modernity, is quaint and very old. The winding and narrow cobbled streets… the antiquated buildings, wrought irons, churches… one could get lost in the maze and be deceived its 14th century once again. ... http://twilightprincess.multiply.com/photos/album/55/Lisbon_I_came_I_saw_I_conquered Sat, 28 Apr 2007 11:03:50 -0000 29 students dead at Virginia university shooting <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RiPHOwoKCq4AAFbFVtc1"><img class="alignmiddle" src="http://images.twilightprincess.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RiPHOwoKCq4AAFbFVtc1/_42808561_virginianew16.jpg?et=zPPMJ6kGOr9UjuhjkW4GGg" border="0"> </a>I came home to this news and I felt like throwing up.

It is pretty bizarre for a cam junkie like me. I usually I shoot a couple of hundreds because I want to remember every moment. But maybe not this particular time… I remember St. Peter’s Basilica being enchanting. I've never been to a place where I feel HOLY. The physical grandeur reminded me of a spiritual greatness engulfing this small, insignificant me. I felt humbled and privileged to be in His presence. I was never really the religious type, but at the moment, I felt I somehow connected with Him. I thought it’s His sign. You see, those times were a crossroad in my life. I am just about to start my life in UK, a place where people are comfortable in questioning theological ideologies and where "heresy" are served on prime time TV for supper.

Not only do I need to acclimatize to a different weather, but I also need to be fine-tuned to different cultural and social presets. I always go by Hong kong before I go to Manila or back to London. Hong Kong, for me, is a perfect place to ‘depressurize’ and ‘pump up’ ----unload the remnants of my life from another world like work, friends, etc… and get myself excited to enter another one. Having a mini-break in between also lessen the shock at the end of the journey---- that is, the shock of realising how much I change every time I return, whichever direction I came from. Physically, Hong Kong is conveniently wedged between the east and west, a great conduit for flight travel between London and Manila. On other respects, it’s like our little secret garden, where we are kept amused and free of worries. We can be comfortable enough not to get ourselves lost ... http://twilightprincess.multiply.com/photos/album/49/Hongkong_My_Limbo_Land Thu, 29 Mar 2007 16:32:11 -0000 Random photos of Manila Special thanks to Carlos Celdran for an amazing walking tour of Quiapo & China Town...
