man on the side: March 2005
http://manontheside.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Thursday, March 31, 2005. Just the stirring in my soul. I wrote this essay more than two months ago, soon after some personal, erm, "distractions." It came out in the Youngblood section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Today I originally entitled it "Quarter-life Crisis," but the editors changed it, apparently because that phrase has been used to death by countless souls like me determined to put a label on what we're going through.

man on the side: April 2005

Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Saturday, April 30, 2005. Once is pure torture (*shudder*). I'm not going to be put through that kind of agony ever again. Don't get me wrong: Leo is a fine actor; Kate as well. And "Titanic" overallnot such a bad piece of filmmaking, when you think about it. (The fact that it won over "LA Confidential" that year thoughsacrilege, almost). But the writingwhat can I say that hasn't already been said? A really creepy old house, nay, a MAN...

man on the side: October 2005

Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Friday, October 28, 2005. This Internet cafe I'm in could just as well be any other Internet cafe back in Manila, except the keyboard has Thai characters in them and the attendants barely speak any English. I'm looking at the street outside, and it also could just as well be any other side street selling sundry stuff back in Manila, except I don't understand the signs and the cars are right hand-drive. Wednesday, October 26, 2005.

man on the side: Boots In Heaven
http://manontheside.blogspot.com/2007/05/boots-in-heaven.html
Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Saturday, May 26, 2007. In case the image is too small, that's Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain hanging out in heaven wearing the requisite white vestments. And Doc Martens. The advertising agency that created it, Saatchi and Saatchi (London), says it's supposed to illustrate perfectly the durability of the boots. And as iconic images go, you can't go wrong with. I wasn't exactly overcome by a burning desire to get myself a pair of DM boot...

man on the side: Tarantino Overload
http://manontheside.blogspot.com/2007/08/tarantino-overload.html
Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Friday, August 17, 2007. I didn’t let the opportunity pass without talking to the man. I went up to him, shook his hand and congratulated him on the film. I kept racking my head for something else to mutter other than the usual "So how long are you staying? Posted by peejay at 8/17/2007 05:10:00 PM. Hey, at least Tarantino is not here to promote some bad album. View my complete profile. Video code provided by Music Video Codes.

This is just a half-life: May 2005
http://redsardonyx.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
This is just a half-life. Life is like million images in my mind's eye and only some are apparent. Many are ambiguous. So, would you help me find it? Even just half of it. Monday, May 30, 2005. Stop Forrest Stop, no, I mean Run. I was so bored to start the week last Monday. Heading off to office was stressful because of traffic jam. At work, I was not as productive due to my bad mood to start the week. My head is aching and I feel so weak because of uber-boredom. After a couple of minutes, atlast, she ca...

This is just a half-life: January 2005

This is just a half-life. Life is like million images in my mind's eye and only some are apparent. Many are ambiguous. So, would you help me find it? Even just half of it. Monday, January 24, 2005. Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. Yeah you’ve guessed it right. The title speaks for itself. After the 9th installment of the most viewed reality show in the world, comes yet another series: Survivor Palau. I’ve browsed all the castaways’ biographies in the CBS site. When I saw her picture, whoa, she’s a hottie! The f...

Man on the side. Not for the faint of heart. or so i'd like to think. Thursday, November 24, 2005. I'm Shakin' My Head. Next thing I know, my name's on the Jam website. The Eheads tribute gig promises to be a very good show. And now that I won the tribute CD plus VIP tickets, I get to go there for free. I think that's pretty cool, even if I do say so myself. I'm taking a poll on whether or not I should post my winning essay here. Lemme know what you guys think. Posted by peejay at 11/24/2005 09:16:00 PM.
