Hope everybody’s extended weekend was good. I spent the weekend in Queens with a bunch of friends and really enjoyed the time here. Then, on Sunday and Monday, I was in the NYC. I discovered that New York city is only a bus ride and short subway ride away. I walked around Herald Square, Rockefeller […]

Let’s go Festivals!
I hope everyone’s 10/10/10 was awesome. Not only was it a 3 day weekend, there were also a lot of events that were occurring. I only went to a few and I’m going to tell you all about them. After work on Thursday night, I hung around and participated in some local events around the […]
Following Syllabus
At the beginning of every semester students know that the very first day of classes will be very informative since professors will be handing out their syllabi which is an outline for the new semester. Some professors never hand out syllabi and they just release information on a need-to-know basis as the semester progresses. On the […]
40 Days
It feels like Sunday afternoon although it’s actually Sunday evening. I woke up at 4 o’clock today. Yesterday was 40 days after my uncle’s death and it’s a custom of Filipino Catholics to gather and commemorate the occasion. According to Filipino/Catholic lore, it’s the moment after death wherein the soul leaves the earth. Is this […]
4 Day Weekend -The Showbiz Expo
It gets no better then a 4 day weekend. Thank the lord for Columbus. LOL. The weekend started friday. I just chilled and didnt do to much. However yesterday, Saturday my self and my 2 brothers attended “The Showbiz Expo” at the Hilton in New York City. The Showbiz Expo is basically a place which is very, very good for connecting and […]
Let Me In: The Right One or Just Wrong?, Part II
So it turns out Hollywood is capable of making a decent remake. Although I still dispute the right of Let Me In to exist (do we need remakes of foreign films that are only two years old? Are we that allergic to subtitles?), I’m pleased to say that this take on the story is more than […]
NYC Checklist
If you are planning to move to NYC here is a checklist of things you should look into before you commit to the move: 1) Housing; safe neighborhood, quiet neighborhood, grocery store nearby, laundromat nearby, transportation nearby, and room size so you know what “stuff” of yours you can bring. 2) Banking; see if your […]
A Weekend in Queens
As a New Jersey resident, I would have been paying out-of-state tuition for Queens College had I decided to live at home. However, I ended up getting an apartment here with two friends and now have a New York mailing address–which will grant me reduced, in-state tuition for the future. I’m sure my parents are […]
Coffee, Midterms & Such
Coffee: I had been told that once I got to college I’d become addicted to coffee. I was skeptical. I hated the smell and the bitter taste and didn’t think I’d ever be able to get into it. I didn’t think I’d ever need it either. However, I decided to experiment just for the sake […]
“Death”
This week was extremely hectic for me. Monday and Tuesday I had classes, two each day. But yesterday (Wednesday) was my long day. I had 3 classes, and one of them is an almost 3 hour class. I had missed so much classwork already (2 weeks of hospitalization in mid-September), so catching up was kind […]
