After almost three months of fruitless protest. I am officially ending my writer’s strike. My pleas for the other blogger to start writing on this site have fallen on deaf ears and I am now duty-bound, for the sake of our two readers, to continue writing alone.
You have to excuse Mr. B for he has had such a busy first quarter of 2009 what with his Facebook social experiment that he should’ve blogged about had there been a result. He was also buried neck deep with files to be organized in his 43 folders on what to do for the year. He’s probably finished with his January to do list by now. Aside from that, he just took up photography. Hopefully, we can see some of his brilliant macro shots here.
So here I am back to writing and what better way to start the year, albeit 3 months late, than a list of what I shoulda, coulda and woulda written since the start of 2009.
1. Things I crossed out of my 35th birthday wishlist. I got a Wii for P10,000, a handsome Santoku knife from my sister, rescued a 3-year old female husky for P2,000, found my missing Breitling (scratch the Poljot Sturmanskie), and bought a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 (forget about the Leica); and aside from having my Canon AL-1 fixed, I also found my parents’ honeymoom camera. And for less than $20 each, I bought a Yashica Electro 35 Rangefinder and a Canonet on eBay.
My new old toys.
2. Eat Well Delicious Kitchen in Bonifacio, Taguig. I swear this restaurant deserves a page of its own… which I will give next time.
Worth trying
3. Celso Delos Angeles even before the Legacy fiasco came out. Imagine a sari-sari store owner getting a P50 million peso loan. Good thing I was on strike or else I could have been sued for libel.
4. The Alabang Boys. Just give them a pile of cocaine and a big gun ala Tony Montana. I’m sure these boys have dreams of saying Scarface lines all their pitiful lives. Just gun them down or just OD them. This won’t solve the country’s drug problems but seeing three spoiled rich kids….
5. The proliferation of International Schools. What makes them “International” anyway? Koreans? WTF! I was in Watson’s BF the other day and didn’t see a single Filipino in the store. Just because you’ve got Koreans enrolled doesn’t mean you’re “international”. They’re probably as international as a Cebuano in Manila. I’m sure this is just a ploy to increase tuition fees. “We’re ‘International’ we can ask for 300% more than any regular school.”. This is from schools that opened last year. WTF! I say!
6. My nude pictorial of Megan Fox. Mr. A on strike = no blog.
You wish
7. The secret to happiness in life. Too bad I was on strike, I could have told everyone about it.
8. My trip to Tibet. The monks showed me where the Fountain of Youth is located and….. Oh I was on strike.
9. My interview with a disgruntled freemason. He told me everything! Awww…. I was on strike. Tsk tsk.
It’s feels great to be back. Let’s hope Mr. B will be too.
