Matt Smith, my first real Doctor regeneration...on Christmas Day, well Boxing Day in our part of the world. I probably will cry.

Remembering 1990

Today marks the 23rd year of the 7.8M earthquake Luzon island in the Philippines in the afternoon of 16 July 1990. I was seven, in first grade, just a month in my new school (classes here start in June). Our class were dismissed and our group was the assigned cleaners of the day so we were left in the classroom by ourselves. We have been scrubbing the blackboard with glee, singing the song we learnt in Music class that day. Me and classmate, who I remember vividly, went to dust off the eraser when suddenly she stared at me and said calmly, "Gumagalaw ang lupa (The ground is moving.)." We were first graders so we do not know what exactly was happening, just the ground moving. After realising what that meant, we screamed and went inside our classroom, to our classmates, nearby until the teacher of the morning session possibly heard us, as the Faculty Room were a few feet from our classroom, went to us to calm us down and told us exactly what happened. Our class adviser, who wa

The Most Noble Lady in the Universe

Everybody has their favourite Doctor or favourite companion in Doctor Who . My first Doctor is actually Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor. I never had any intention of watching the series, frankly, but then I learned from two of my friends, who are Whovians, which is what fans of the show, that Neil Gaiman wrote an episode. So I persuaded them if I can see it without seeing the previous episodes. I fell in love after watching The Doctor's Wife . Now, my Doctor is David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor. My favourite companion is Donna Noble, with Sarah Jane a close second. For me, Donna is one of the best companions, if not the best (over SJ. Sorry Lis!). Her story is a very tragic one compared to the other reboot (2005) companions - Rose is in the parallel universe with her own Doctor, the Ponds, despite being "assassinated" by the Weeping Angels to 1930s New York, had lived a very happy life even if The Doctor cannot see them anymore because of the paradox, adopted a boy, an
This again appeared in my personal Tumblr dated 25 May 2013. Updated. Dear Mr Tolentino, Greetings and peace in the Holy Spirit! You may not know me. I am a mere citizen of the country. I admire you for the work you have done in our metropolis. I also admire you that you answer to almost every call of the media to answer questions and problems. However, your actions in the past week disappointed me. You see, I'm also an avid reader and fan of Mr Dan Brown. In Mr Brown's book,  Inferno , it was said that Manila, the most densely populated city in the world, is the "gates of hell". I think you have taken it out of context. It was mentioned as such because it was the personal feeling of the character. You deemed it as a description of Manila in general but I don't. We all experience our personal "hell", as simple as in our own houses. Don't we all call our homes "hell" when something bad happens? I think this is what was depi

Thank you, Raggedy Man!

I first posted this in my personal Tumblr. Or the Tumblr where I want to speak my mind. Because my other one is just a smorgasbord of what and who I like. It's just like Christmas. Photo credits: WhoIsMattSmith.com / Entertainment Weekly Because his will be the first real regeneration I will experience. Thank you very much, Raggedy Man! I will truly miss you. You brought a new vibe to Doctor Who. It's not easy to take over David, who, until now, is said to be the best Doctor, Yes, David's may be my Doctor but you are my first. I will never forget it: you and Idris (Sexy!), trying to save Rory and Amy from House. That was the episode that made me a Whovian. Thank you!
