What is the most ridiculous post in Facebook that you know are people who are just bragging about their "perfect lives" ? I have a cousin who always post pictures of herself shopping when in fact all her relatives know that her...

TheAdvocate It's nothing new, people are always bragging about what they have and what they've done. Facebook just gave them a new medium. My cousin always says it's because we are ID, and therefore we want to acquire and show the world that we are moving up. It's primal...

Among all the characters of The Big Bang Theory, I think Rajesh has the toughest obstacle for finding his special someone. When I started watching the sitcom, I never imagined someone like Sheldon finding his soul mate. Before Amy...

TheAdvocate Big Bang is one of my favorite sitcoms although I started watching it late and had to watch reruns to get caught up. I think that each one of the four friends have a different issue that would make it hard for them to find their soul mate. Leonard had a...

After Week 1 of the impeachment, I lost interest because of the bunglings of the prosecution and the stonewalling of the defense team, and tuned off the topic. But yesterday was fun. Morales was one feisty witness that Cuevas...

TheAdvocate Hello LK. Yes, it's a bit frustrating seeing the prosecutors blunder around like drunken sailors. I cannot condone the way they come to court so unprepared and yet they perform for the cameras all the time. Why can't they prepare for court the same way they...

TheAdvocate I can't blame you, it's what we Filipinos call "malayo sa bituka" (far from the stomach), thus the understandable apathy. Add to the fact that it's in English, it becomes so far removed that listening to the impeachment can sometimes feel like you're drowning....

Has anyone seen this Filipino horror movie? My brother just recommended it, and he says it's really scary. It stars Marvin Agustin, Carmina Villaroel and Rhian Ramos (the ones I remember) and is about a house where horrifying...

TheAdvocate That's what my brother said,too. He liked it so much that he told me the story because he knows I don't mind knowing before watching. He says the acting is good - must be, if they made it to an international film festival. I use to associate Pinoy horror films...

TheAdvocate Hi, I was looking for a cupcake tower last Christmas for our holiday table. I only found one food vendor willing to lend us a cupcake tower if we buy at least P1500 worth of her cupcakes. You should consider selling them because cupcakes are all the rage these...

TheAdvocate Impeachment. More fun in the Philippines. I read that Clinton's impeachment trial lasted for only 17 days, and the prosecution was allowed to present all pieces of evidence they wanted without too many objections. Here, it's objection left and right, as if...

TheAdvocate I agree with you. His appointment has always been his problem. If we let him off knowing that he is a midnight appointee, then the other midnight appointees will have a field day. We cannot sanction what is not right from the start. My only hope is that the...

TheAdvocate You're right, and Filipinos sure love their soap operas. That might be the reason why a lot of people will be glued to the television. Sure there will be a lot of stalling and delaying, but then again, the lawyers are there and so it can be expected. It's a...
