Bringing Sexy Back to the 90-9-1 Neighbourhood
2008-03-22 00:11:00 (Dear Blog, I suck.) Leave it to me, the habitual blog neglecter to write a New Year’s entry 11 weeks late. Oh Merciful Zeus. My sister warned me that if I continued to churn out link love / self-love promos, she’d stop reading my blog. Next, a friend complained, ?You used ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Bringing Sexy Back to the 90-9-1 Neighbourhood", url: "http://fruityoaty.com/2008/03/21/bringin g-sexy-back-to-the-90-9-1-neighbourhood/" });
I Return? with a Very, Very Late Post-Birthday Post
2008-02-14 13:11:00 After 49 days of blog stasis wherein I probably lost regular readers and drove away potential subscribers, I’m back on the blogging scene, riding the dizzying whirligig of blog hopping, and returning comments one by one. To paraphrase Buffy, ?Seize the moment, ’cause tomorrow your blog might be dead.? (OK, I’ve been looping episodes again.) ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "I Return … with a Very, Very Late Post -Birthday Post", url: "http://fruityoaty.com/2008/02/14/i-retur n-with-a-very-very-late-post-birthday-pos t/" });
Later Than Late? Merry Christmas
2007-12-28 01:11:00 I wasn’t going to return to blogging until the New Year, but I felt bad for not hollering back Merry Christmas to 18 bloggers. In true fashion, the Blog Slacker (BS) will wait until enough greetings (via Twitter, blog comments, e-mail, pigeon carriers, etc.) have accrued before the BS will fire up the laptop to ...

Longest Pizza, Shorter Posts, Lazier Blogger = Higher Rank
2007-11-29 01:11:00 I’d started to write a fantastically nonsensical food porn-metaphor story, but it made about as much sense as the adults in Peanuts when they talk: ?Wawa-wa wawa wa, wa wa-wa.? Good grief, Charlie Brown. Speak plainly. In an effort to retain first-time visitors, I’ll try to write more transparent, frequent and shorter posts without losing ...

Longest Pizza, Shorter Posts, Lazier Blogger = Higher Rank
2007-11-29 01:11:00 I’d started to write a fantastically nonsensical food porn-metaphor story, but it made about as much sense as the adults in Peanuts when they talk: “Wawa-wa wawa wa, wa wa-wa.” Good grief, Charlie Brown. Speak plainly. In an effort to retain first-time visitors, I’ll try to write more transparent, frequent and shorter posts without losing my current stalkers. (Maybe I’m fibbing ’cause I write to please myself and my stalkers.) Uh, I have a blog with 90 posts, 1,989 comments… and very little traffic. Truth? I started to care about that trickle when I realized that Google AdSense clicks (please) could possibly pay for Rogers Hi-Speed Internet service. Still, I refuse to do “paid to post” stuff. I would rather close the fruit stand if I had to… Strangely, my blog’s readership has actually increased as I write less… an average of two dumb silly entries per month.

2007-11-14 01:11:00 Because I reached the Semi-finals round (Top 10 in Blogs category, LOL) of the 10th Philippine Web Awards , I qualified to compete in the People’s Choice Awards (Best Blog voted by YOU). I received an invitation to attend the awarding ceremony and after-party on Friday, November 23. But I’m unable to go, so I’m giving away my ticket! Who wants it? Serious inquiries only, please. I asked a PWA Committee rep if someone else could go in my place. She replied, “Yes. Just send us the complete name of the proxy/attendee for our Master List.” In related news, evil Paolo Mendoza @ Khoops Blog is pimping my PWA nomination. A riot!

Desperate Housecats & 10th Philippine Web Awards Voting

Desperate Housecats & 10th Philippine Web Awards Voting
2007-11-08 01:11:00 When two of my non-Filipino pals suggested last month to write about the alleged racial slur made against Philippine medical education in the US TV show “Desperate Housewives”, I disinterestedly replied, “Eh, because… ? What for? My blog is about… me.” Narcissism, as Lil aptly put it, “… is the cornerstone of personal blogging and we expect it of you.” In case you haven’t heard about it, my cat Max has kindly re-enacted the stinky mess that had many Filipinos in a pissy tizzy. I’m sorry, Max sometimes channels his inner pussyness through potty humour. He also said to vote for him? Before y’all mutter that I’ve arrived rather late to a stale controversy, let me explain that this entry, like all my other entries, is really about… me. After that DH episode aired, tae (Filipino word for shit) immediately hit the fan, but the stinker was flushed away when ABC issued an apology for the lame throwaway line. Everything has al...

A Happy Halloween: The Tale of Beauty and the Beast’s Chocolate Treas
2007-11-02 00:11:00 As a rule, I generally do not post pictures of myself, friends, and family in “public” blog entries… not because anyone in particular is a bucktoothed, ugly, hunchbacked inbred. I respect their right to remain anonymous. This is one of those rare occasions when I make an exception. Last night, my Uncle, Aunt, my cousin and her 3-year old daughter “Lau” dropped by for a Halloween trick-or-treat. Lau was so cute and pretty in her costume. When I called her a Pink Princess, she insisted, “Noooo, Cindewewa!” Girly girl, you can be anything you want. Please, just don’t develop a Cinderella Complex. No wait… some day my cute, charming and rich Prince will come and save me. Of course, with my luck, he’ll probably be a queer man. Anyway, here is the short story of the Beauty and the Beast ’s Chocolate Treasure. Once upon a time, in an gelato-coloured realm, there lived a tiny little girl known as the Pink Princess who was adored by all the citize... More About: Happy

Heroes World Tour Toronto, Part 1: Anime Artwork Booth
2007-10-03 01:11:00 If you’re an avid, rabid fan of the NBC TV series “Heroes ”, you would know about the recent Heroes World Tour during Aug. 26 to Sep. 2. that had 12 cast members and 3 creators travelling to promote Season 2 and Season 1 DVD and HD DVD releases. The tour was split into 3 legs, with groups of 4 cast members each trekking to destinations in North America, Europe, and Asia — 8 cities in 8 days. The 2-hour fan event at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto featured a Q&A and autograph session with Jeph Loeb (co-exec producer/writer), Zachary Quinto (Sylar), James Kyson Lee (Ando), Noah Gray-Cabey (Micah), and Dania Ramirez (Maya). I got to briefly say hi and shake hands with all 4 actors. Sylar stole my power, but I lived, haha! (Yes I know, if evil brain-sucking Sylar really stole my power, I’d be dead.) I also know that I run the risk of boring the non-Heroes-enthusiasts among my readers, so I’ll try to balance the full-frontal geekery with other… stuf... More About: Artwork , Anime
