https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QU1nvuxaMA Chris Cornell. --- A friend of mine gave me my first taste of his music years ago. When I first listened to this song, my first thought, "Wow...there is so much pain..." News articles say that he killed himself by hanging, after years of dealing with substance abuse and anxiety disorder. (There goes another [...]

On Beards and Manbuns
Very recently, I've developed "an extremely strong desire to mentally consume" all episodes of this small screen/ Netflix wonder (read: I binge-watch these episodes in my spare time, with my father occasionally joining to watch. ) It simply cannot be helped. The large-scale production of a historical drama, with larger-than-life characters, created by the legendary [...]

Video: “Say you won’t let go”
One can easily fall in love with this song... The melody is really good, and the lyrics, though simple, ring true. This is clearly my favorite song for 2016. (:-) May we all find this kind of ideal.)

On serenades

“Speak Softly, Love” on Asia’s Got Talent
Very recently, my family and I (my father most especially) has been watching 'Asia's Got Talent 2015) on TV... My father is very patriotic and has been rooting for acts such as "Gerphil Flores", "Junior New System" and El Gamma Penumbra...all of them Filipino. I can't say I blame him...they are all very good, and [...]
A Farewell to McCharming
Derek Shepherd, the man who was made of the stuff of dreams...died today. As one of the most charismatic leading men in the history of television, he deserves a space in my freedom space. He was so well-made, so perfect...and he always said the best things (at the best times) ever. And those lines? They [...]
