Dream last night (or, more accurately, this morning, because I woke up late): I’m in front of the mirror inspecting my hair, going through it by sections, and gets horrified to find alarmingly numerous gray hair on the left side of my head. Previously, you see, the odd gray strands have been more [...]

the iron man sings

I still insist, and my friend Abby insists otherwise, that American Idol Season 8’s Danny Gokey looks like Robert Downey Jr. However, look-alike or not, Gokey will never be able to wrench my heart the way Robert Downey Jr. does singing this song…
“Broken” by Robert Downey Jr., from his album The Futurist

oh how i love these long weekends…
Posted by: rina on: April 3, 2009
when you just pack up your bags and go…
when you temporarily forget the messes/backlogs/issues you left behind because they’ll still be there when you get back anyway…
when you walk for hours and feel the wind on your face and ignore the little nagging compulsion to find an internet shop to check your mail…
when you get [...]

I’ve been playing Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) over and over for the past hour, which is not really good sign, because it means that I’m scared shitless but nevertheless trying to convince myself that everything will turn out fine. It’s a new year, and while a huge part of me is [...]

I haven’t been following the US elections all that much, and my knowledge of US politics basically just consists of seven seasons of The West Wing (which makes me a Democrat, I guess), but watching the last moments of President-elect Obama’s speech and ensuing jubilation gave me the warm fuzzies just the same. The symbolic [...]
a different celebration
Posted by: rina on: October 8, 2008
So I sit here, barely two hours before my birthday, typing away at my laptop, which was exactly the way I feared I would spend my birthday. A couple of weeks ago I was toying with the idea of celebrating it by stuffing my backpack and going off somewhere by myself, but obviously, nothing came [...]

Three-year old journal entry, found over at my Friendster blog. I wish I’d seen this (or remembered that I wrote it, for that matter) when the Sex and the City movie came out. Anyway, I’m reposting. Just because. It can be so much fun going over all journals!
Why I (a 25-year-old-single-since-birth manang) like Sex and [...]

On my way out to buy lunch earlier today, I passed by the open door to the living room of the family living downstairs. Scattered on the floor were open suitcases, clothes, various accoutrements. Apparently the seaman husband who arrived a few weeks ago will be putting out to sea again. It’s a scene familiar [...]
We all live on Avenue Q
Posted by: rina on: June 21, 2008
Grown-up “Sesame Street.” “Rent” minus the AIDS. “Friends” with puppets. These are some of the things that have been used to describe Avenue Q, and they’re all true. What nobody ever fails to point out, however, is that the show is very, very fun to watch. Any show that comes with a parental advisory “Full [...]
