Best Reads:
1. J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye
2. Jessica Zafra's Twisted Series
3. Bob Ong's Stainless Longganisa (this one is for a thriving writer...like me? hehehehe)
4. Dan Brown's Angels and Demons
5. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird

Best Careers:
1. Writer (i told ya)
2. Neurologist
3. Psychiatrist
4. Chemist
5. Photographer

1. J.D. Salinger (I like the first person approach)
2. Edgar Allan Poe
3. Jane Austen (of Pride and Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility)
4. Jose Rizal (for Noli and El Fili)
5. Jessica Zafra (hail the master of the universe!)

Worst People:
1. Paris Hilton (and her cadaverous look)
2. Women who kill their unborn child
3. Men who regard themselves as the lord of the universe
4. Those who regard physiotherapists as masahista or manghihilot
5. -----this space is still vacant----- should you want your name to appear here, contact me.

Reasons why you should stop watching the local news:
1. Very seldom you can find the truth in it. They're either exaggerated or biased.
2. The Kho-Halili scandal. It turns us all into preening voyeurs.
3. They keep on showing gory videos of dead people, human wastes floating somewhere in the previously-clean-now-the-unofficial-dump-site of people we know as squatters, and children with colostomy while you're having a scrumptious meal after a long day at work.
4. It's predictable - movie stars (who just had a boob job, broke up with who, hooking up with who, just had an abortion but denied it anyway, Kris Aquino, more Kris Aquino...pft!), PTBPO as in Pinoys To Be Proud Of (it means Charice Pempengco...Charice and more of Charice. Also includes Manny Pacqiuao and Aling Dionisia) politics, EDSA 100 raised to the nth power, more politicians doing a great job on this and that, politician marrying a top anchorwoman...great! the list goes on and on, redundantly.
5. Your electric bill is killing you, engulfed almost 50% of your monthly income.

Best TV Series:
1. CSI (this includes Las Vegas, Miami and NY)
2. Wire in the Blood (aired on Hallmark Channel)
3. NCIS (aired on Foxcrime Asia)
4. House (yes! the one with the sarcastic doctor and his unorthodox ways)
5. Medium (stars Patricia Arquet)

Worst Pick-up Lines:
1. "Your dad must have been a thief. He stole the stars and put them into your eyes." (this one makes me cringe)
2. This one goes like this:
Guy: "Can I have your number?"
Girl: "I don't have a phone"
Guy: "I can give you mine"
Girl: Slammed the door.
3. "What's for lunch? You can order ME if you want."
4 and 5. ----still waiting---- so don't ever get it wrong or else you'll see it here...yes your own word right here.

Worst Movies:
1. Chapter 27 (stars Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan). A biopic about Mark Chapman and his assassination of the late John Lennon. Why it sucks? Watch to see why this is on my top list.
2. Angel's and Demons (a film by Ron Howard. based on a novel by Dan Brown. Stars Tom hanks and Ewan McGregor...no this is not a sequel to Broke Back Mountain). Why it sucks? Tom Hanks is a terrible Robert Langdon. EWan McGregor is too hot to be in the Vatican. Ayelet Zurer made you wish you spent your time in a salon instead. Yes she's the funny-sounding Vittoria Vetra from CERN in the movie.
3. Da Vinci Code - Why it sucks? It's 2 counts of first degree murder! They killed both Langdon and Brown. Poor me.
4. House - this has nothing to do with the arrogant doctor and his sarcasm. Why it sucks? This is a supposedly horror movie which didn't scare me at all. Nothing to be scared of in this movie except for the movie itself. If all movies are made like this one, the cinema industry will forever perish in the fires of hell. Plot is weak. The actors are even weaker as if they all have MS. Don't watch it it's not worth your time!
5. An indie movie which fortunately enough I can't remember the title. It's about a gay husband, his sexually-deprived wife, and of course the man that they (both the husband and wife) shared. Why it sucks? It stars people whose name are not worthy to be recalled but who are willing to take off their clothes to satisfy your id. Although it deals with real family issues (like lack of sex for example), it's too much for the Pinoy audiences. I don't think that I know someone who can do what they all did in the movie (I mean plot-wise). Hey, I was just invited by the PR people to watch the movie...ah Troika. That's the title. The perks of writing I must say though I wish the perks do not include watching butt-naked people.
