All my life I have never been to a halloween festival or party. But since I frequented cyberspace, what with all the hype, I thought I should try it if there's a chance. So when a friend rang to see if I was interested in one, I went in a heart beat and 1. traipsed Khao San Road with friends, where the party was 2. admired an antique BMW motorbike 3. posed beside two decomposing kids 4. wore a borrowed battery-operated pair of horns 5. watched how a young drunk in high heels sway and drop to the ground 6. stared at a waved sign: Beer - Fucking Good! 7. dropped 1 baht on a beggar dog's bowl 8. folded my arms beside an emaciated male zombie badly in need of a mammogram 9. took a shot at a gawking skull with big teeth intact 10. offered my neck to a loch ness mutant 11. checked out prices of witches' hats 12. ate calamari 13. drank margarita Glad I lived to tell the tale.

Our Weekend Memoirs: David Foster & Friends Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The Hitman, David Foster and his sidekicks finally performed live in my backyard last Monday. My ineptness at the camera has been a serendipity. I came up with halloween shots as well. Meet the ghosts of concert present: don't they shape up better than Casper? Opening score: Theme of the Calgary Olympics Mr Foster did his homework by remarking about the flood in the northeast. And here they are doing (Michael Jackson's) the Earth Song David Foster, Peter Cetera, Ruben Studdard, Natalie Cole, Charice, and The Canadian Tenors I went to this concert mainly for the household names and revel in memories of familiar titles: St. Elmo's Fire, Unforgettable, and many more. Peter Cetera can't reach his high notes anymore =) But it's okay. He's still The Inspiration. Besides I can't complain when someone half my age mistook me for a 20-something girl in the parking lot. But even if

Musical Monday: It's Hard to Say Goodbye Scroll down for Monday Mayhem In 1993 Asia's songbird Regine Velasquez and Canadian singer/songwriter Paul Anka recorded what was then Laura Branigan's Foolish Lullaby. That looks like a creepy period drama going on while the song is sung. Can anyone tell me what's the title of that film? (if it's a film or what) Amanda @ Bloggin with Amanda hosts Musical Monday Denise @ Run DMT hosts Music Monday Blog Hop ***************** Monday Mayhem: Are ya ticked off? 1. What ticked you off last week while you were on your way somewhere? attractive little fashion shops; they distracted me off my main purpose to browse antiques. 2. Who in your house really ticked you off and how did they do it? a reading lamp that died on me without saying goodbye 3. What politician or political event really ticked you off last week? I stay away from politics because they tick me off all the time 4. Tell us what ticked you off on TV last week. th

Our Weekend Memoirs: Mabuhay Restaurant Scroll down for Sunday Stealing A cousin and I went shopping in Pratunam this past weekend. There is a Filipino restaurant there where we had lunch. I was thinking of fall colors. Look at that Bopis. I wonder what's that - This one I know though: beef caldereta. At home I remember there's only one aunt who can cook caldereta well. The one who owns a carenderia, lol... Our sinigang... Operation Tangigi. Slurp! This buko salad is obviously imported. The ice cream taste is very pinoy. Cousin Vi took home the rest of the sinigang and I took care of the caldereta. I still have some leftover in my fridge right now. (Along with the rest of the food I can't consume duh) I'll go heat the bahaw.

October means work break for me. A plan to head down Khao Yai National Park is in conflict with a friend's timetable. I am forced to socialize elsewhere. These are what I saw and did at Camp Facebook: 1. "Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is little like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian." -Dennis Wholey 2. A few acquaintances want to troop down some videoke bar, but have no idea which bar. I suggested Bangkok Hilton. The staff there tolerates the indignity of my off-keyness . 3. “Cases of involuntary disappearances are usually filed under kidnapping, murder .... Our laws should recognize this distinction from other offenses,” emphasizes Miriam Santiago, a Philippine senator. She eats death threats for breakfast. I like her. Minus her breakfast. 4. It's raining men hallelujah! Seriously I hope the floods in the northeast stay there. 5. Yeah, yeah, I'm so getting it..., my reaction to "Getting your

"So that's how it looks like," I thought as I stared at a blurred image on Cambridge U's 800th anniversary portrait. The page shows a document stamped S E C R E T . I leafed through and tinkered with the text mode of my camera. But the real fun was just setting eyes on things for the first time. It makes up for not having been to any museum in awhile. Besides, I'm not sure how easy or difficult some of these things are to view from anywhere other than the book. This is what I meant on my T13 last week when I said, "into my lap a treasure fell..." 1. Extract from the annotated first edition of Principia Mathematica, 1686 2. Undergraduate record card of Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine 3. A 3D silicon nanostructure fabricated using chemical vapour deposition 4. In the pages of the Blue Boy Magazine, err... the Varsity 5. John Milton's manuscript of Lycidas 6. Ernest Rutherford's notes on the structure of the atom 7. The Chancellor's
