September 28th, 2009 Causes
My birthday is tomorrow, September 29th. I don’t really feel like celebrating it because, if you haven’t heard, we’re in a state of calamity right now because of Tropical Storm Ketsana (Ondoy). I’m writing this wish list as an appeal to you, my readers. I know there’s not a lot of you, but I know there’s enough of you out there to make this worth writing.
1. For those of you outside the Philippines, Filipino or not, please send help via PayPal or credit card by going to Philippineaid.com. It’s a great initiative from Mike Villar, which I vouch for along with several of my fellow bloggers.
2. For those of you in the country, check out the different ways that you can help. Karen Ang has compiled a list of institutions and locations where you can send donations. Financial support is great, but it would be awesome if you can also give clothes, food, water and other necessities. You can also volunteer to repackage relief goods and, if you’re able, distribute it to the victims.

September 10th, 2009 Movies
I’ve waited a long time to see Brüno. Last night, the long wait finally paid off. I loved it probably more than I should.
If you’re easily offended, stay the hell away from this movie because it will reach into your soul, grab everything you hold sacred and pure, and crap on it like an elephant with LBM.
If you’re totally cool with provocative movies with a twisted flavor of social relevance and a hint of anarchy, see this movie because it will give you the happies.
That scene with the psychic killed me. It killed me HARD.
September 7th, 2009 Journal
I always find it hard to sleep at night. My body usually longs for the soft embrace of my bed, but my mind? My goddamn mind? I always need to work the hell out of it to the point of exhaustion, which ultimately leads to sleep. Unfortunately, my mind doesn’t get exhausted easily when I’m thinking about these:
1. What TV show will make an awesome series of big budget movies?
2. How to get revenge on the high level players who always pick on me in Mafia Wars. Assholes.
3. Dr. Doom. And Batman.
4. The artistic merits of sequential art featuring talking gorillas, Asian secret agents, goddesses, mermaids, robots and men from Uranus.
5. The Girl Called Trouble.
6. Who would win in a fight between bears with lasers and sharks with missiles… IN A CAGE MATCH?
7. My next stupid blog post that 6 of you will read and 2 of you will comment on.
