Some people are usually confused with my social network accounts. Instead of just posting my own last name, I have this strange last name “Strange.”
The genesis of me adopting the last name STRANGE is because of this emo character. which happens to be my namesake. Lemme introduce you to Emily the Strange.
Emily the Strange is…
-13 years old and one bad kitty
-Long black hair with bangs
-Big white Mary Jane shoes
-Short black dress
-Black stockings
-Ever-present four black cats.
Emily is anti-cool, a subculture of one, and a follower of no one but herself. She’s the anti-hero for the Do it Yourself movement. Her favorite phrase is “Get Lost!” – both an invitation to travel to unknown places and an instruction to “Take a hike!”
How will you recognize her? Maybe you’ll spot her long black hair, or her black eyes staring at you from under her bangs. Surely you’ll notice that she’s dressed all in black, except for her big white Mary Jane shoes. You won’t miss the four black cats that are always with her. Maybe you’ll see a slingshot in her hand – right before the rock hits you.
I think I’m not so much like her. I think somehow, I’m cool in my own way. I don’t dress all black, even at funerals. I don’t have four cats, just one cat and one dog. I also don’t have a slingshot, but a secret weapon……

Question: What if you only have 24 hours to live, what would you do?
If I only have 24 hours to live, I would:
1st-2nd hour= I would play Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core, though, I know I would not be able to finish it.
3rd-4th hour=I would call up all my friends and say goodbye to them.
5th-6th hour=I would go to Starbucks and have myself the last sip of their famous coffees and my favorite chocolate cake.
7th-8th hour= I would prepare what to wear for my funeral. Talk about fashion!
9th-10th hour=I would try to get pictures for my loved-ones.
11th hour-12th hour=I would try to find the love of my life. hahaha!!!!!
After that, I would spend the last 12 hours of my life with my mom, dad, extended family, and my dog.

I broke my own promise not to break down whenever I have bad encounter with my dad. But this time, he shattered my heart into tiny pieces like he used to. I had a surprise visit to his office in Liwasang Bonifacio this morning because I asked the help of his assistant to help me get my NBI clearance. Upon entering the building, all eyes were set on me, saying, “Who the hell is she?” “What’s she doing here?” and so on. I was lead to his office, and I told myself, “Whew! My dad’s a big shot here. 4 members for his office staff, television set, and two big office tables.” True enough, his title: Operations Director. One thing that really caught my eye was a picture of my dad with his illegitimate child. It was really painful. I can’t even explain the feeling. I didn’t comment anymore as I was left speechless, but not clueless to the fact that he loves his illegitimate child more than his legal one. The illegitimate child has a picture on his table, while the legal child has none. What a thrilling experience!
Ikaw na magkaroon ng ganyang ama, sigurado akong isusumpa mong hindi na dapat siya ang naging ama mo.
Lucky Emili!

Someone texted me last Friday, “Hey your prediction for the Aussie Open women’s finals was correct, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic. More correct because your predicted winner was Sharapova.
Then, it was followed up by another text: “Hey you missed one finalist for the men’s, it was not Rafael Nadal but Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who toppled your Rafa into 3 straight sets. Hope your prediction for the men’s would be correct. I want Novak Djokovic to win against Roger Federer.”
I sent my reply and told her, “I think Djokovic would win against Federer in 3 straight sets in a very close match. Then, Djokovic would win his first Grand slam as Australian Open 2008 champion.”
Hehe, true enough, Maria and Novak won.
Next, before C/S Sports’s live coverage of the Hornets and Spurs’s game yesterday. I told myself, “Spurs will not win today. Just a feeling. They’re tired. I will not watch.”
True enough again, they lost in a blow-out 102-78 score by the Hornets which I learned in score box flashed at Fox News.
Just this morning, I glanced at the NBA sked and saw the Boston-Orlando match. I told my cousin, “Orlando would be handing Boston their 8th loss.”
Yes, Orlando did 96-93.
Would I make a lot of money if I continue this? What do you think?

It’s always been painful and tearful everytime you’re about to leave someone or somewhere. Feelings get divided whether you made the right decision of leaving the house or writing a new home address.
The feeling was not same when I left Tondo…. though I knew I should be. But changing office address….quite confusing.
Soon, I’ll be leaving my first work that I’ve grown to love, who gave me all the firsts as a professional—-salary, tax, 13th month, christmas party, etc.
I would be saying thank you to all of my co-workers and Korean students….very soon.
Of course, I will be missing them.

Yes, they’re not the San Antonio Spurs that swept the 2007 NBA Finals against Cleveland.
They’re not in their usual defensive team, creating too much turnovers, and acting as if they’re a team fished outside the D-League.
They are slowly slipping away in the standings, and creating rumors that there would be no back-to-backs for them.
What’s happening?
