He wasn’t really a Ninja Turtle.

When one says “Renaissance Man,” people almost always instantly think of the great Leonardo Da Vinci, which is not surprising given his wide array of disciplines and contributions.
However, there is another. No, not a Jedi. People often forget that Da Vinci’s contemporary Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni – or Michelangelo for short, as that name is quite a handful – was also a master of multiple disciplines.
Yes, we all know he sculpted the Pietà and David. The latter, in particular, was something that surely piqued the curiosity of young boys at the cusp of realizing they’re gay – or was that just me when I was a kid? What, you never wondered why the subject matter had such a small penis? Even art historians and other scholars have discussed the matter. I was just being scholarly. Art and penises are always interesting topics, and even moreso when combined.
Jak Attack

This has been around for several months now, but not only is it hilarious as heck, it started my slight obsession with Jak Roberto. I mean, seriously. Look at him.
So, so, so easy on the eyes, ammirite?

Mon Dieu! Il est un étalon sexy!

This already made the rounds a couple of weeks ago, but it’s always worth sharing and re-sharing. Because, mon Dieu! I think I got pregnant, and I don’t even have ovaries. Erwan, mon amour, you need to call me.

Back In Bangkok

Bangkok By Night
So my vacation ended last Saturday night in a place I’d fallen in love with before: Thailand.
And yes, I still love the place.
Arriving Wednesday night from Mandalay, I managed to do a few more new things this time around, including getting to see the famous Jim Thompson House and Museum (where I saw an authentic silk-weaver), the Erawan Shrine, Platinum Fashion Mall, the Victory Monument, a dinosaur theme park, and Kamthieng House. I ate the highly-rated papaya salad in the famous Som Tam Nua as well as noodle soup in one of the street stalls of Sukhumvit Soi 38.
Fashion Speaks Out.

Never Forget.

Despite all attempts at historical revisionism, the power of EDSA 1986 – the peaceful revolution that inspired many others across the world – will never be forgotten by those who understand that truth will not be vanquished by evil.

Stories From Around The World, Part 1
During our first day in Mandalay, we decided to join the hostel-organized mini-tour around town that would culminate in Mandalay Hill. Here I met several people who joined the tour.
First is Harry from Australia. He has angles to him that remind me of Liam Hemsworth. I recognized him from the plane we took from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon. He wasn’t easy to forget because he was so tall that his head would almost hit the ceiling of the airplane; I am a hobbit beside him. While on the 
tour in Mandalay, we got to chatting, and it turned out he was traveling alone while on a 2-week holiday from work, where he’s a mining advisor. He’d stayed in Yangon for several days before going to Mandalay and was planning to go to Hpisaw the next day.
He lives in Perth, and after I mentioned that I planned to visit two of my best friends who now live in Australia and make my way to Ayers Rock, he laughed as he himself hasn’t been there yet. That said, I encouraged him to visit the Philippines next time. He’s definitely a nice guy to know, and perhaps when I visit my friends France and Brian in Australia in the hopefully-near future, our paths may yet cross again.
