Black Night...

'Tis now the very witching time of night, When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world. ~William Shakespeare On mounting a rising ground, which brought the figure of his fellow-traveller in relief against the sky, gigantic in height, and muffled in a cloak, Ichabod was horror-struck on perceiving that he was headless!--but his horror was still more increased on observing that the head, which should have rested on his shoulders, was carried before him on the pommel of his saddle! It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet. . . . he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being

Saling Pusa

Nicole Scherzinger The lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls with a trickle of Pinay hot blood flowing in her veins is going solo and will release her debut album, Her Name is Nicole on November 20, 2007… Be the judge, jury and executioner if you think she has what it takes to hit the big time as a solo artist and not just another pretty face and hot body who can’t sing… Here's a video I nicked from AOL Sessions . Happily Never After ... Note: If you want to hear her purr some more, just MEOW UPDATES: Rockamania The Truth Behind Xanadu Operation BearCat Chapter I Master Chef

Sexy Back

Obviously Justin Timberlake never laid his eyes on this specimen when he wrote the song Sexy Back which ended up as the “longest- running number one single of 2006” on the Billboard Hot 100. It was part of his second solo album Future Sex/Love Sounds. What do you think ? Hmmm….. Blog Update: Rockamania in Unchanged Melodies

Just hours after the Glorietta 2 Bombing that killed 9 and wounded more than a hundred Filipinos, Honorable (?) Senator Antonio Trillanes IV sent a message to the media. However, instead of condemning the people behind the attack, he launched an obvious politically- motivated offensive against the government by accusing some people close to the President of being behind the attack without proof and pieces of evidence to support his accusations. "I believe the Glorietta 2 mall blast that killed eight and wounded hundred other persons is the handiwork of Malacanang Palace, particularly National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales and AFP [Armed Forces of the Philippines] Chief of Staff Hermogenes Esperon." This is a very insensitive action in a very volatile situation on a very sensitive issue that the neophyte Senator has made. This should be the time where we should not let political intramurals undermine the conduct and result of an on- going investigation. This sh

Much has been said about the outrageous prices of his concert tickets for the Manila stop of his Awake Tour. Much has been said about the scarcity of the tickets whenever and wherever he performs(In New York City, tickets for his Madison Square Garden Concert were sold out in 20 minutes after the opening bell!). Much has been said about many people not being able to afford them. Much has been said about all the fuzz about him and his songs by the uninitiated. Much has been said about some fans feeling disenchanted because of the unfortunate situations above. You can blame the unscrupulous businessmen for their stinky business savvy but blame not the man. You can blame the greedy producers for the unpalatable ticket prices but blame not the singer. You can blame the sharks in the music industry but blame not the entertainer. And you can blame the tone-deaf ignoramuses for their hatred but blame not the person. In fact, you can also blame his legion of fans worldwide especially the ladi

Autumn

It’s the best time of the year, they say. Far different from the tropics where I used to play And it is just a matter of time before I will finally Realize the beauty that will unfold before my eyes. They say that it is the time of year that I will remember forever Where the birds will fly carefree in the azure sky And warm my heart with their haunting lullabies. They say that summer is good but fall is better The weather’s fine and the colors are amazing And my life will be a-ok and I will be happy. Deep in my mind, I almost believed them Had it not been for one lingering question- Why does my heart feel blue In Autumn When the leaves are turning bright red, orange and yellow? # NOTE: If you love the muse, let me take you to: Inks & Verses

Weird Two - "King of Nothing"

A long, long time ago I looked into the mirror and was tagged by the “me-me” fever from the Land of the Rising Sun whose strains have plagued the blogger's world for quite some time now and as of this writing I could safely say that there is no end in sight for this affliction nor was an antidote on the verge of discovery nor in the works in the hearts and minds of the people working in the Center for Bloggers Control (CBC). I could have said the magic word like Alakazam or AbraCadabra! And voila, I am cured of the me-me curse that is so prevalent in the blogosphere! But no, like the rest I am mandated to do what‘s been expected of me in order to develop a life- long immunity from the disease or until my blog's immune system drops and get a re-infection or relapse. So here I am toiling, laboring and dragging my suspicious and incoherent mind at six o’clock in the morning, the neurons in disarray from lack of sleep and powered only by Coke. No it's not what you think, you wi
