Beyond tentacles
Got you reading the post, didn’t I? I know some people gleefully rubbing their hands right now. They bet that it wouldn’t take me long to post something so Flori-esque . I roll my eyes upwards at that. Seriously, folks. I am quite wholesome despite how other people seem to paint me otherwise. *thunder sounds* I found a very interesting article in The Japan Times Online. Writer, Michael Hoffman shows us a cohesive and...
Comics are for moms too!
I love reading sexy mom’s blog. The net is already too full of whiny blogs about “how the world is so unjust and unfair blah, blah, blah…” written by “emo” teenagers, that reading about the funny, sweet (and sometimes tart), and poignant stories from a mother’s point of view is definitely refreshing! The same thing can be said about Japanese comics that are overrun by the usual shoujo/shounen...
White day
I am getting old. Why I forgot about yesterday being White Day is beyond my comprehension. Alright, folks this news is LATE! Valentine’s Day in Japan is a two-part deal. The first falls on the usual date of Feb 14.

My fellow org alumnus (of course I’m an alumna. English is a very difficult langauge, I tell you!) has decided to share his collection of Pinoy green jokes to the public. Will he be the next Gary Lising? We’ll see. Visit Oi! Green Pinoy! By the way, I’m seeing a “trend” here in Sugoistuff. I hope the “trend” wanes after the members of Team Sugoi gets their well-deserved break this weekend. And...
Valentine’s Day, the other side
While my colleague Alex hates Valentine’s Day, I welcome it with open arms. I don’t really celebrate it, but it’s comforting to know that it’s there. The color red, hearts, cupids, roses, chocolates– Valentine’s Day has been either: + Created by Capitalists for sentimental consumers, or + Created by people who desire what they don’t have… It can be a cliché, a tiring once a year exploitation of our hard-earned...
Yup, I hate Valentine’s Day
You’ve got to hate Valentine’s Day. I do. I really wonder why such a high premium is given to February 14. What’s the big fuss about it. Who’s that St. Valentine anyway? And isn’t it all rooted to fertility rituals and (pagan?) orgiastic feasts? Call me some hard-@$$ grouch, but for me, Valentine’s Day is three things: A day when one rose gets to be more valuable than gasoline The one...
