Marami ang nagtatanong bakit bigla na lang nawala si Babe in the City. Sabihin na nating napagod na ako sa kanya. Nagsawa.Hindi naman ako mapiling tao. Pero sadya yatang hindi para sa akin si City Babe. Sa kabilang banda, baka naman sadyang hindi ako para sa kanya.Hindi naman kami nag-aaway. Pero hindi rin kami nagkasundo. Iba ang type nya sa music. Hindi rin sya palabasa. Mahilig sa pelikula

12: 55 P.M. I enter the mall. The security guards are unusually thorough. They ask me what’s inside the red polycarbonate case inside my bag. “My laptop,” I tell them. They look skeptical. I open the case. They see the whiteness of my Mac. I am hungry and impatient, but I appreciate the meticulousness. I hope they are like this everyday. “What’s inside the transparent plastic?” They ask. “My umbrella. Want me to open it?” They shake their heads and let me through.
1:05 P.M. I order my favorite vegetable curry in a Chinese restaurant.
1:50 P.M. I window shop. The entire population of Guindolongan, Talitay, Mamasapano –all in Maguindanao province— are here. The mall is getting crowded.
3:10 P.M. I am waiting in line in the supermarket. I hear an altercation between the cashier and a nicely dressed lady in stilettos. I snoop. The cashier refuses to give a discount to the lady despite her senior citizen’s card. “Ma’am, are you sure this is yours?” The cashier inquires. “Of course, it’s mine,” the lady answers. “You look too young to be the one on this ID.” “That’s because I had something done to my face!” The lady is almost yelling. She looks around, embarrassed by her admission of cosmetic surgery, her demeanor, or both. We remain silent. “Is it a sin to look good in old age?” We shake our heads.
She reminds me that I will be a year older tomorrow.

Every year the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa conducts the Salita ng Taon competition in which one can nominate words that are of foreign provenance but through constant use they have acquired local nuance, thus, they have become Filipinized. In previous years words such as ‘
toxic’ and ‘
lobat’ (low battery, denoting tiredness) had made it into the Filipino lexicon.
This early I am nominating the word ‘SCRIPTED’ which is becoming popular thanks to Mrs. Irene Kho, the mother of the hunk-boytoy whose bedroom habits have become a chismis staple of late. ‘Scripted’ means something fake and contrived.

This is one Korean dish that I now love! Bibimbap is basically a rice dish with lots of different vegetables, and egg. Sigol Bap Sang serves it with sesame oil and a red bean paste that makes it spicy — mix in as much as you like!

Side of ham? Grilled pork? Nope. This is deep-fried dayana, a kind of large fish. I don’t know what it’s called in English, though… Lovely and rich meat, but it’s not exactly available in the markets at all times.
