I recently moved back down to Manila after about a month of chilling out in Baguio, and I don’t think I’m alone in saying that it is HOT, man. Even my friends down here are complaining about it, and that...
Man’s best friend is on fire
by STILL TALKING By Enrico Miguel T. Subido - January 13, 2006 - 12:00am
The year of the fire dog is upon us. Predictions are being thrown here and there, everyone’s talking about it. It’s on TV, it’s on radio, it’s in the newspapers, the wino on the corner is screaming...
