- Another unkind blow. ABS-CBN Film Restoration, the only one saving our film heritage in the country, is closing down. This government is not for the people, nor for its culture.
- I think there's an unspoken reason why so many people are side-eyeing basketball these days in the light of Caloy's Olympic wins in gymnastics. For the longest time, basketball has really been symbolic of the Filipino macho, celebrated not just for the sports that it is... 1/9
- She allegedly got fired because she insisted on following DOH protocol and not give VIP treatment for testing to politicians. There was an uproar [read: "criticism"]. Now, RITM chief stays. And this is how protests work, people! Stop demonizing protests.
- I just realized that between Wednesday's Avengers: Endgame and Monday's Game of Thrones S08E03, we will have followed a decade's worth of storytelling of two pop cultural phenomena -- and mourning the death of characters we've come to love. Condolence to us all.
- Masturbation is way better than murder, people.
- In a university town? During the run-up to Finals Week? For an establishment that's open 24 hours? Where the only signs of life in the wee hours are students themselves? McDonald's is like that whiny girl who goes to the beach and complains about the sand. [Photo not mine]
- Unfortunately, this is so true. Every single time. It's dismaying...
- To be honest, Tita Baby wearing a daster on the finale of #DragRacePH should have been an inspired choice to make her go further…

- When I was in high school, I was Vice President of the Science Club. Ina Reformina was the President. :) Ironic.
- I love this, although it's also quite sad. Brent Sabas remakes Seita and Setsuko from Grave of the Fireflies as Marawi children.
- Duterte could shit on a diehard DDS's face, and the latter would still call it a facial.
