Wow. There goes the train again. Choo choo. I didn't quite notice if it was the express or the rapid train. Regardless, it didn't stop at this station. It didn't yesterday; it won't today. The last few trains didn't either so what's the point in wondering? This might be the wrong station. Maybe I should just start walking away.Here comes the next one. I'll stay in my seat. Maybe this

I'm back from a three-day visit of New York City and I've never been more grateful for the fact that Canada is just across the border. Although there are hundreds of interesting things in New York its cold, uncaring populace just ruins it for me. I guess I can't blame them. Their nation's leaders have given them a good reason to be paranoid. Added to this I think New Yorkers get a sick

I just woke up after a good eight-hour sleep to realize that I am no longer in the Philippines. Wow. I have endured a very uncomfortable 15-hour flight and I'm finally here. Canada. Looking out from "Kuya Jong's" apartment window here at Vaughan Road I can immediately identify a hundred different things between here and the Philippines. It may be more convenient, cleaner, and safer here but

A classmate from Japanese class, Dan, would often tell me how he would sometimes wish to wake up and discover that:... he seems to be the only person left in the world (28 Days Later)... everyone's become a zombie and he has to fight for his survival (Resident Evil)... he's involved in some supernatural alternate world (Silent Hill)I, on the other hand, am very comfortable with my pretty mundane

"Scary, isn't it?"The Japan Foundation is holding Eiga Sai (Movie Festival) 2005 for the entire month of September. This year's features are several horror films from their archives.I took half the day off yesterday to catch three of these films at Shangri La Plaza Mall with my friends,Aldwin and Teddy. Although the second of the three films disappointed me (Aldwin slept through it) the other two

It's ten thirty in the evening, the weather is cold and the drizzling sky is threatening to really pour. Three kids selling stringed sampaguita flowers approached me and my bestfriend, Ina, and then "begged" us to buy some from them. Apparently, my bestfriend promised the little girl she'd buy some when we leave the coffee shop. The girl goes on her merry way but one of the boys follows us all

The Shadow of the Crescent Moon... Most people probably do not have anything against Islam or the people and nations who practice this religion. In fact, I, personally, am amazed at how Allah's faithful people managed to unfailingly keep their traditions and religious customs despite most of the unsavory events in history. However, respect, acceptance, and tolerance are reserved for those who

"You look... free." Aldwin told me as we were having a quick bite at Taco Bell last Saturday. My new hair (or lack thereof) has garnered a lot of positive feedback and attention ranging from "you look younger", "you look neat", and "it suits you" to my personal favorite "you look like a monk" [[amused expression]].I like my new hair. I had to let go of the longer style for a lot of reasons. First

No, I'm not about to take a walk down memory lane.Where I am right now though is "Pleasantville"; only there are very few women and Geoff Eigenmann's images are posted on every single billboard that dares to stand upright (yes, in MY Pleasantville billboards put themselves up). I should hate having a crush. Not only is it usually pointless but it's also emotionally taxing. Understand that someone

Maybe I just don't love updating my blog everyday. Heck, my birthday came and went last November 27 and I didn't even write about it. Regardless, it was the most memorable birthday of my life. I brought most of the people who mattered in my life together in one place. I am, finally, 23. Some Updates: (x) I found out I lost 5 pounds in two weeks. God, all these loosing and regaining weight

Sushiboy, ninja and failed gymbunny, enters his isolated sanctum like a shadow. His gaze then meets the immense conundrum before him. The clutter of books and compact discs within his room has turned his hallowed abode into a misused teahouse. "This cannot be. To function efficiently I must know Nothingness..." and with these words our hero closes his dagger eyes and contemplates upon Nothing.

You are a RPIT--Reserved Practical Intellectual Taker. This makes you a Love Geek.Heh heh -- you love geek! You are weirdly sexy. It doesn't take people a long time to get to know you, but people *think* it takes a long time, because you are as cool and regulated after a year as you are on a first meeting.

I just translated a birth certificate from the 70's. It was handwritten. Had the handwriting been legible I wouldn't undergo severe morning stress. However, the midwife decided she'll go all medical and doctor-like and treated the certificate like a prescription form. Great! Now I can head to the opthalmologist next door and have an eye check up! I'm sure they had typewriters in Manila back

I never liked wearing khakis and light colored shirts. That's exactly what I'm wearing right now though. It's partly because I've grown tired of my blue-black-gray ensemble but mostly because Aldwin just gave me one of the best counseling sessions of the year. He's not even a psychology major! He asked me why I was under the impression that I'd only get hooked up if I was a lot thinner. So I

Aaaaargggggh. I just typed 30 minutes of my life away in hopes of stabbing some of my unwanted angst into the electronic highway but noooo... pop ups decided to ruin it all.... people who make pop ups should die. They should all turn into toads and be run over by 10 wheeler trucks. The pop up made my browser go wacky. It ended up closing itself when i tried closing the pop up. NEWS FLASH... no

I just realized I'm trivial; in that I take note of small facts and things that have nothing to do with me or my current situation and then I always seem to find a way to plug them into conversations. I have no idea if my friends have noticed it but I guess we all have our quirks. Oh, and I just happen to love discussing such trivial matters while doodling shapes or writing prose on cafe

It is easier to say "conquer yourself" than to actually do it. Because to do that you would have to "know yourself". Unfortunately, that precedes "conquer yourself" in the easy-to-say-hard-to-do list. So I decided to list down some of my seemingly strange habits in an attempt to "know myself". 01) I never wear a watch. 02) I absolutely must eat Japanese food with chopsticks. 03) I am almost

A friend of mine sent me the following. Read and chuckle: * If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) * If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Aaaah! They're coming out with Tenchu 4 (Tenchu: Kurenai)!  The series has been fulfilling so far and most fans could forgive some technical gameplay foul-ups from some of the games because the developers seem to have a knack for keeping the ninja story mystique at a high level.   Tenchu: Kurenai will feature Ayame and Rin (a new playable character).  Where is Rikimaru?  Well, T4 takes place

Someone once told me "You live a charmed life." I didn't understand what he meant by that exactly. Although I guess I couldn't possibly believe that I do only because everyone thinks someone else's life is better than theirs. Almost a week ago I realized that I did, sort of, live a charmed life. With a family who really loves me despite the common household arguments (mostly over trivial issues)

It's just really amazing how Friendster turned the theory about how someone you know knows someone you know who most likely knows someone who knows you into a more tangible idea/fact (more commonly known as the six degrees of separation). However, such "curiosities" happen even without friendster and, well, it freaks me out. No such thing as real privacy now, eh? Sins get around faster than you

Every Filipino romantic optimist knows the wisdom in the song Rainbow (by South Border). For the benefit of those who have never encountered this song. Here are the lyrics. And I really recommend listening to this song. INTRO Fallin' out, fallin' in Nothing's sure in this world, no no Breaking down, breaking in Never knowin' what lies ahead We can really never tell it all, no no Say goodbye,

There are times I ride off for "crusades". There was even a time I told myself to go on a coffee crusade involving Seattle's Best. I made sure I've tasted everything in their beverage menu. Crusade successful! Until Seattle's changed their Frio drinks into Javakula that is. This time I need to color my boring life.

I am a fairly reasonable and optimistic guy. Translation, I am generally "nice". My sister is addicted to nicotine and (I'm sorry for the game's fans but this has always been my standpoint) a sad excuse for an RPG called Ragnarok. She plays the game, eats, sleeps, wakes up then plays some more. Not only does she hog the PC (this has also caused us to hate each other's guts from time to time)

As Aldwin would put it some singers (using the term loosely) make out with the mic when they get carried away. Sure, they may not slobber all over the piece but it gets pretty wet nonetheless. *Eeeew.* I get precariously close to doing the very same thing when I sing. The head of the mic tends to touch my chin when I actually like the song I'm singing (and for those of you with a more

Capcom explores the tandem of actors Takeshi Kaneshiro and Jean Reno in their latest game Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. Takeshi Kaneshiro is Samanosuke Akechi, a katana-weilding, demon-slaying warrior from feudal Japan while Jean Reno is Jacques Blanc, a French covert agent from modern day France. Both characters try to save humanity from demonic rule (invasion, supremacy, conquest ... take your pick)

My Cooking Days Will Finally Change My mom finally bought a food processor (which, by the way, has a second area for a blender)! I always thought food processors were simple but this one is anything but that. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of add-ons the device has. All I could do for the first five minutes after laying out the parts was to ogle at them. *ogle*ogle*ogle* As if that

Making Pesto without a Food Processor Made pesto without the aid of a cooking device tonight. Don't ask, even our blender leaks so I had no choice but to do it by hand. Dang, I love pesto so much I'm willing to pound and crush basil for 10 minutes just to make the sauce. Jeeez. Talk about dedication to pasta. /sushiology101

Happy Birthday, Tobie It was Tobie's birthday last Sunday but the celebration started early on Saturday with Aldwin, Benedict (Fero), Carl, James, Oliver, Seth, and yours truly . It began with a pig-out fest as I once again put my diet on hold to celebrate a good friend's 27th year on the planet. It's no fun to deprive oneself during a celebration ... it's not even polite! :) At least that's my

210: God Have Mercy. It sounds like a cheap Pinoy B movie with the subtitle and all. However, my weight has a drama story of its own. It is anything but stable. It swings up and down and could be classified as having it's own bi-polar disorder. I won't be surprised if that alone inspired the creation of the yo-yo. The figure (i.e. the number... not my body) is in pounds by the way. So don't

Everytime I see you I feel as if I have but that day as a chance to tell you that there are no words to describe the tremendous love I have for you; and that sounds stupid. Then again, truth does not necessitate coherence. But I can never tell you that... I'm afraid that I might never be able to even let a word from that statement slip through my lips to give you the barest hint of what I truly

"Good Evening, This is Sam. How May I Help You?" I don't know if it's because I like people in general or it's because I possess patience that rivals Gandhi's but I seem to enjoy customer service work despite the demanding schedule (fyi, I work from 3pm to 12am, 6 days a week, 9 hours a day). There are, every now and then, things that make me think twice about call center work. A really good

Cynical People Should Die Every nice person knows that when push comes to shove it is better to give the object of his contempt the benefit of the doubt ... and then blame the cynical person behind the entire incident. I'm a coward so I'll bad mouth cynics through my blog. I hate cynical people. I hate it when they point out all the wrong things in an innocent situation. I hate it when the

Great Gay Day Today Of course, it all depends on how you interpret that. Regardless... today (dramatic pause here) was a good day. Not only was I able to stuff my face with Burger King fries I also passed the initial interview and testing for a job (uh! finally! work!). Predictably, it's at a call center *dun dun dun...*. The guy who was handling my application proudly announced that he has

Welcome to SUSHIOLOGY 101 Hi. I am Sam. I'm a twenty-two year old bum. I'm gay, a pathological optimist ("Hey, I'll be late for the test. I just ran out of gas. Thankfully, there's a gas station on the other side of the national road."), and a table-top roleplaying gamer ("Sorry, dude, I warned your character but you didn't listen... besides how was I supposed to know I'd roll critical twice?").
