WHY SO SERIOUS
sometimes I like to misplace capital letters.
OR USE THEM EXCESSIVELY.
the ps3 has lost internet connection, which means I have lost the epic battle of dungeon defenders vs. netflix. the intro music to dungeon defenders sounds eerily similar to marvel: ultimate alliance, resulting in dashed hopes and crushed dreams. I suspect that I have been outsmarted in a ruthless conspiratorial coup...
I saw a video that disturbed me last night. When I woke up this morning, I thought I had dreamed it because I was still naive enough to believe I lived in a country where peaceful assembly is a right and blunt force is a resort only used to protect against the dangerous.
A group of students pitching tents where “it’s not allowed” are not the dangerous I need protection from. I...

There’s something immensely calming about walking through San Francisco in the crisp autumn air, something akin to the feeling of returning home or reuniting with an old friend. I’d like to lay outside in the dewy grass and allow the cold air and clouds to completely encompass me, the cold air conspiring to bring me back to a state of normalcy.
This feeling is magnified because the...

Do you ever have those moments when you think about your thought process when you were little, about what you thought your life would be like and you amuse yourself with how you wanted to be a mutant (anyone but Jubilee or the Blob) and how you wanted to ignite a revolution and be the first Filipino this or the first female that and you wanted to finally overcome your fear of roller coasters but...
Allow me to tell you a story.
Someday I will write a really good novel.
Most of the books I read are dark thrillers (usually post-apocalyptic and dystopian in nature) where women are subjugated and violated to the point that it gives me nightmares.
I am not ok with this.
I don’t know how or when I’m going to do it. But I do know this - I’m going to write my own post-apocalyptic novel. And in my future, women will rule the...

For Dyson
Not publishing my Tumblr posts on Facebook is liberating.
I still have nothing to write about.
I asked my boyfriend for inspiration and he said, “Dyson.”
So Dyson - this one is for you.
Oh mighty Dyson Animal vacuum, hymns of never ending praise will be sung in your honor, marble statues will adorn your shrines, hordes of loyal followers will tremble at your feet!
Which is just...
For the good of humanity -
I have decided to stay out of Internet forums.
You’re welcome, world.

I find this strangely affectionate.
Me: frank and kristine say the new zooey deschanel show is about me
Paolo: why what's the show?
Me: new girl
Paolo: is she a hipster
Me: (0_0)9!
Paolo: does she fart a lot
does she tilt her head up when she sleeps
looks all mad

THE END IS NEAR
I’ve been having recurring dreams about the zombie apocalypse. I’ve been dreaming about zombies almost twice a week for the past two months. Every one knows that the number 2 is synonymous with Satan and the end of the world, and since this is as much of a logical basis to predict the end of the world as Harold Camping has, consider this my official warning:
HIDE YO KIDS, HIDE YO...

Dear diary,
Mood: apathetic
Do you ever get stuck on a level of a video game because if you die, you have to start the level all over again? And even though you’ve been trying to pass this level for 3 nights now, you still can’t seem to keep from dying? And you feel like your ability to play is hindered by the fact that your palms are sweaty and your heart is beating really fast and you really...

Full speed ahead.
I’ve decided that I’m doing this every year from now on because I’m dangerously approaching my mid-20s and my memory is fleeting.
Also, 2010 deserves this because I think when I look back upon my life I will note this year as the year that changed everything.
Sorry I’m copying you, KDGZ.
1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? I don’t even know...
...while watching Glee...
Me: Did you know Blaine is half-Filipino?
Ryan: Why do all Filipinos know who's half-Filipino? You don't see me going hey, did you know this guy's white?
Read at your own risk.
Sometimes I feel betrayed by books.
Why do you force me to invest in your characters, finding pieces of myself within them, vicariously navigating through twisting and entwined plot lines only to follow them into the oblivion of a half-assed ending?
I’m talking to you, Galt Niederhoffer. Your prose is eloquent and witty and you have beautiful lines that could qualify your books to be...
New Year's Resolutions
Part 1 (because I may be adding to this list later)
This is the first time I have ever made New Year’s resolutions. Mostly because I’m too lazy to evaluate what needs to change in my life, but also because I’m plagued with such a large ego that change just seems unnecessary. Anyway, here goes:
Read more books and newspapers (especially works relating to science). I already...

I want much more than this provincial life.
There goes the baker with his tray like always. The same old bread and rolls to sell.
There are no cats in America.
Sleep is such an elusive animal. I saw one outside the window of the F streetcar on my way home yesterday, but it got startled and scampered down a dark alley like a mouse that sings like Fievel.
There are no cats in America.
My lucid consciousness is fleeting. The last thing I remember doing was sitting in a meeting about project proposals with my superior who is not my boss. I had no idea...

Random musings
I got home from San Diego at 3 am last night after spending each of the past 5 days driving back and forth from San Diego and Santa Clarita/Glendale.
I got to work at 10 am this morning and have spent the past few hours doing absolutely nothing but staring at the wall of my cubicle.
I’m still delirious.
So I give you…deliriously awesome observations from a sleep deprived Marice:

Just giving back on Thanksgiving...
Me: I dropped off Vince in Sylmar, Paolo in Santa Clarita, and Norman and his boyfriend in Santa Monica.
Dad: What are you, the gay shuttle service?

Me: My "fun facts" blurb that my boss asked me to write makes me hate myself.
Frank: So according to your fun facts...you are a dude.
Me: I am a 12 year old boy.
Frank: At least fantasy football makes you sound a little older. Did you throw in X-Men? You threw in X-Men didn't you...

I hear Tila Tequila might take you back.
I am the proud owner of four San Diego Chargers jerseys three mopping rags.
Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison, meet Shawne Merriman. He’s the newest addition to your posse of discarded players’ jerseys that will never again see the light of day.
Shawne, I took quarters and popcorn in the back of the head for you. I wore your name on my back at Oakland Coliseum. OAKLAND COLISEUM OF...
