No Frills Dentist Appointment
The Smiths were shown into the dentist’s office, where Mr. Smith made it clear he was in a big hurry.
“No fancy stuff, Doctor,” he ordered, “No gas or needles or any of that stuff. Just pull the tooth and get it over with.”
“I wish more of my patients were as stoic as you,” said the dentist admiringly. “Now, which tooth is it?”
Mr. Smith turned to his wife Sue. “Show him, honey.”

The Impeccable Lea Salonga
I wish I am in New York, and able to enjoy Broadway like my brother does. He already has tickets to Lea’s debut as the tragic Fantine in Les Miserables, which he’ll be seeing with a fellow PinoYorker. And it was prudent of him to get them early, as he was told these are among the hottest selling tickets in town. If I heard him right, tickets for her March 6 premier night have been sold-out, and the closest he could get was for March 24th?…
And all I can do is watch Lea Salonga uploads on YouTube and listen to the few albums I have. I just NEED to get hold of her newest, Inspired. More about it from this link to broadwayworld.

Perhaps these will be what they’ll say.
ah… LOVE… forever.

In a Valentines Day gift to the country, scientists said they are determined to jointly remove and preserve the remains of the couple buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, their arms still wrapped around each other in an enduring embrace.

Stumbling Upon the Best Pages in the Internet
I find myself spending even more time in front of the computer nowadays. No, not to do my usual research. Not to chat with friends and family. Not to update my blog. Not even killing time with novel, but useless and degenerative exercises I had earlier blogged about.
Not sinc
e I stumbled upon, uhh… StumbleUpon!. It’s just what it promises to be. A downloadable toolbar which gives one the pleasure of surfing through the best internet content recommended and submitted by other users. What’s even better is that we get to suit these random searches according to our preferences. Only pages we care to see, and hope to… yes, stumble upon.
