Opinion

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

THE RECENT CRACKDOWN on illegal immigrants, mostly Filipinos, in Malaysia once again revealed the sense of hopelessness in many of our countrymen and the ugly face of man’s inhumanity to man.

Features/Lifestyle

Wardrobe basics - Part 1

I AGREE WITH style experts who say women wear only 20% of their clothing 80% of the time. Naïve, carefree, single and having more disposable income then I would impulsively buy (especially during sale) clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories that would catch my fancy -- regardless of its color, style, quality, and compatibility to my existing wardrobe.

KANJI of the WEEK

is water/liquid. is blame, here acting phonetically to express build up and possibly also lending similar connotations of accumulate. Thus to build up in water/liquid, a reference to leaving layers of items to soak/pickle.

Sports/Fitness

Soaked in basketball

DESPITE the definitive ennui that the PBA brought forth this season, basketball is still my favorite sport. But then the PBA is not the only league in the world. There's always the NBA where the Lakers are lording it over the competition and the exciting UAAP tournament where the De La Salle Green Archers are getting to be unstoppable. With its big stars donning the National colors, the PBA is a total bore.
