I first heard Adele, the British singer when ‘Chasing Pavements’ became so famous back in 2008. I didn’t know that she’s really famous in UK. Now, her name is quite all over the place and her songs are being sung by all sorts of artists (famous artists) because her album is topping the chart and [...]

1 Comment »Birthday Quotes to Live by: It’s My Birthday today, so what?
January 6th, 2011 Char Reyes I’m not really fond of birthdays – my own birthday to be specific. It only reminds me that I’m getting old and the chances to look wrinkled, grainy and ugly are increasing. I don’t really celebrate during my birthday – I do most of the time because people around me are expecting and asking me [...]
A yearly habit of anxiety….
January 4th, 2011 Char Reyes I have this habit, every first week of the first month of the year, to reflect on things and make some goals to achieve for the next 360 days. This should be a good thing because, it only means I’m a normal person who’s looking back on my past and worrying about the future. But, [...]

December 26th, 2010 Char Reyes It has been a tradition every Christmas day in Metro Manila to watch the different genre of Filipino Movies. I, including the rest of the family, make plans on which movie we’re going to watch first and how many movies we’ll be able to watch. Just imagine how our eyes look like after watching three [...]

November 7th, 2010 Char Reyes I must say I’m not fond of running. Or, I should say I’m not fond of any activity that will trigger my sweat glands and enhance uncomfortable feeling of being exhausted, literally warm and sometimes stinky smell. However, I have a great stamina in all activities that require physical strength. dtsv.dtse_post_2513_permalink = ‘http://chareyes.com/2010/11/07/is-running-good-or-bad-for-our-heart/’; dtsv.dtse_post_2513_title = [...]
What is The Biggest Mistake in Life
August 29th, 2010 Char Reyes I’m not sure how long we’ll going to talk about the Final question threw to Ms. Philippines, Venus Raj that allegedly, according to those who doesn’t really know about beauty contest for that matter, lost the chance of winning because of a lame question with a lame answer. dtsv.dtse_post_2084_permalink = ‘http://chareyes.com/2010/08/29/what-is-the-biggest-mistake-in-life/’; dtsv.dtse_post_2084_title = ‘What is [...]

August 23rd, 2010 Char Reyes I really cannot believe on what I witnessed on national television — Philippines is in great turmoil because of ONLY ONE PERSON. To such more disappointment, Rolando Mendoza, the hostage-taker was an ex-policeman. How anyone in our government will let this to happen? I’m not generalizing the whole incident – but I extremely believe whatever [...]

July 26th, 2010 Char Reyes I was wronged when I posted here about the ‘Inception’ movie trailer and synopsis that I prefer ‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ to this movie. But, I was perfectly honest and it was proven on the trailer itself that it is goddamn confusing. Well, it truly depends on what are we looking for a movie to call it [...]
100 Ways to Motivate Yourself by Steve Chandler
July 20th, 2010 Char Reyes Perhaps, the self-help books are the most overrated material a person could have. But, these are also the most underestimated medium, that one way or another, will naturally help us to understand things on a different point of view. dtsv.dtse_post_1581_permalink = ‘http://chareyes.com/2010/07/20/100-ways-to-motivate-yourself-by-steve-chandler/’; dtsv.dtse_post_1581_title = ’100 Ways to Motivate Yourself by Steve Chandler’;
Kris Aquino and James Yap’s Marriage is Over
June 27th, 2010 Char Reyes There might be a lot of opinions and commentaries about this announcement of Kris Aquino on ‘The Buzz’ – that her marriage to basketball player James Yap is finally over! There might some who’ve expected this to happen, especially with the open book lives of both personalities. We knew Kris Aquino to be tactless and [...]
I love LA Lakers but I hate basketball
June 9th, 2010 Char Reyes I’m not really a basketball fan. I’m more of a football fan. I’ve been repeating myself whenever I talk about sports – I love the Players; not the game! Anyway, in the past, I was an avid fan of PBA’s Ginebra and Purefoods. I remember that every game of Ginebra is one-hell-of-a-big-deal for everyone. All [...]

June 6th, 2010 Char Reyes I’m a little pissed of today. Why? Let’s just say that someone accused me of being fat! Ha-ha! Crap right? Well, anyway – I am fat, chubby, bloated or whatever you may call a 200 lbs. person that neither involved with sumo wrestling or ultimate fighting championship (UFC). I don’t weigh that much, but for [...]
My Universal Studios Hollywood Experience
May 28th, 2010 Char Reyes Last July 2009, I had the privilege to explore the “Land of Entertainment” Los Angeles, California. Primarily, the purpose of my trip is business (but of course, who will not grab the chance to go shopping and go around the city.. it’s free for god sake). dtsv.dtse_post_915_permalink = ‘http://chareyes.com/2010/05/28/my-universal-studios-hollywood-experience/’; dtsv.dtse_post_915_title = ‘My Universal Studios Hollywood [...]
RIP Youtube Channel – #Malinky2Stoatir
May 24th, 2010 Char Reyes I was devastated when I found out, couple of days after Craig Ferguson’s Birthday, that Malinky2Stoatir’s account in YouTube has been suspended.

What If I have a professor like Will Schuester?
May 19th, 2010 Char Reyes If young girls go gaga on Glee because of astounding production and voices of the casts, young adults like me go gaga with Mr. Schue.
