About a horse, a spider and a skater
A Horse with No Name
A week ago, I woke up with a rumbling stomach. I was resolved to eat anything I could see on the dining table. Brunch started normally - my mom asked me what I thought about the main course. Well, I said it tasted like Korean barbeque (although it looked remotely like it, I just had nothing to say). Flattered, my mom told me as-a-matter-of-factly that it wasn't Korean Barbeque. It's horse meat.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I literally ate a horse (You know the line "I could eat a horse"?). Apparently, horse meat has been around for years now at markets in Pasay and Makati. I looked at it for about 5 minutes and I almost got sick to my stomach. It stopped when my sister nonchalantly said that horse meat have almost 0% fat. I'd never look at a horse the same way again.
Spider Sense
I rode a jeep with two orgmates at Katipunan going to UP after having dinner. It was about 9PM; three bad-looking guys went inside. One of them sat beside me. I was particularly nervous, I felt something was up. I told one of my orgmates not to display her mobile phone in public. Geez. Pinilit ko silang bumaba bago pa makarating sa last stop yung jeep. When I got home, I noticed that my bag had a little rip, definitely made by a slasher. At least they weren't able to get anything. I'm officially declaring that I have a Spider sense for hold-uppers, slashers and other common crooks. Ha.
Hey Sonia!

During one of my library sessions, I stumbled upon a book on Pop culture and discovered this little piece of work. Hey Sonia! is one of Saucy Seaside's Postcards which has been sold for a large sum of money during the 50's. This postcard frequent boys' locker rooms and workmen's utility rooms.
After seeing this, I remembered a famous backside nude painting featured on the Discovery channel a few months ago. Painting a woman's backside in nude will always be more erotic than displaying the a woman's frontal features. Like the postcard, it tickles the imagination, making it more intriguing and sexier than the usual pornography.
