Made For TV Movie

A 35 year old man being accompanied by his mother to a doctor's appointment is just plain embarrassing.

I'm Ready

A recent medical scare got me to thinking about death.

I have always been an optimist. But this time, I wanted to look at the worst case scenario.

In case the lumps found on my neck would turn out to be fatal, I was ready to accept my fate.

I was ready to die.

I felt I have accomplished something during my lifetime.

I have been everywhere. (Although, I still wanna go to Europe and visit friends in Australia. But I digress.)

I do not have a family of my own. I have no kids (that I know of). Therefore, I need not worry that they will be fatherless.

So if worst comes to worst, Raft3r is ready.

Besides, death extinguishes debt.

Dear Mr. President

Your Excellency,

Now that you found a scapegoat in everyone's favorite bitch, may we know what your next move is?

Time to grow some balls, perhaps?

The Waiting Game

What would you do if you were made to wait for almost 10 hours and there was no movie house in sight?

Let Raft3r demonstrate:

Get a haircut.

Have a massage.

Stretch your lunch to 3 hours.

Do your grocery shopping.

Have dessert.

Window shop in every store.

Read a book.

Buy a small bottled water and hang out in Starbucks for another three hours.

3. It's a dog eat dog world;

4. Love does not discriminate;

5. A man in red underwear is a sight for sore eyes;

6. Cannibalism is best partnered with singing; and

7. When all else fails, dance.

The Lady Is A Vamp

Girls can be so defensive, especially when asking a guy out on a date.

Want proof?

Read on.

Scenario 1

Girl: "Raft3r, let's go out for coffee."

Raft3r: "Ok."

Girl: "It's not a date. Ok? We're just having coffee."

Raft3r: "Whatever you say."

Scenario 2

Girl: "Let's go to Tagaytay. Overnight."

Raft3r: "Just the two of us?"

Girl: "Yeah. Hwag ka nga feeling. Dalawa kwarto sa bahay. (Don't be too sure of yourself. There are two rooms in the house.)"

If It Makes You Happy

Why do we put such a high premium on happiness?

You often hear people say, "As long as you're happy..."

But being happy does not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing.

Happiness does not normally equate to righteousness.

Take Raft3r for instance.

He is always happy but never right.

Lick It

Watching a 60 year old lady eat a hotdog on a stick and seeing her lick it is just plain disgusting.
