PARENTHESES

Here’s one good read for all bloggers. Pinoy blogger Bing eloquently presented an article about an existing reality in pinoy bloggosphere. A reality that perhaps everybody is already aware of but hasn’t took the time, found the exact words, or perhaps mustered enough guts to express it. Bing’s article “Some Popular Bloggers” presented a clear, straightforward, critical and I should say, correct assessment of some popular blogger’s tendencies to behave like “Superstars”. Kudos Bing!

Yesterday I had a conversation with my Dad about relatives whom I recently met in bloggosphere. After tracing some links in our immediate family tree my Dad told me that he and Teacher Sol’s grand father are cousins. This confirmation makes Teacher Sol a neice of mine.

My team in the English football league, Arsenal, won the 2005 English FA Cup in a dramatic penalty shoot-out against their arch-rival Manchester United. Arsene Wenger’s Gunners humbled the loud and flamboyant Sir Alex Fergusson’s red devils. HURRAH ARSENAL!!!

Last night Bambit and I went to Onstage at Greenbelt to watch a Broadway musical Guys and Dolls. It was a graduation presentation of the 2005 Repertory Philippines Summer Workshop. One of the actors is our blogger friend Ralph. We met (for the first time) Ralph briefly after the curtain call. The actors did well and Ralph literally nearly broke his leg. He showed us a scratch in his left leg -an injury he got while moving the props on stage. Encore Ralph!!
