This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

an oLd maN, turned 98.. he won the LotterY aNd died the nexT daY.. it's a bLack fLy on yOur charDonnaY.. twO minuteS tOo LatE.. buT isn'T iT ironiC? doN't ya thInk?..
iroNic? it is..
gRowing uP in the proviNce had soMehoW depriVed me froM experiencing the things you get to see anD reaD on LifestyLe magazinEs or the samE secTion on broadsHeeTs. "ChardonnaY" for oNe has been jusT a part of an Alanis soNg whOm roaN is reaLLy foNd of. Curious as I, consuLted Mr. Webster and was surprised thaT it means a type of white winE.
The other-other-other-nighT, a friend tExted me to comeoVer his pLace as he needed compaNy to taLk to anD get the nighT awaY. ImmediateLy, I made my waY to his Citiland Pasong Tamo pad. He was already drinking anD so he introdUced me to his - chardonnaY.
Like any noviCe, I gulpeD down the firsT gLass of whiTe he gaVe me. I guess he was disappoinTed wiTh the way i guzzLed down one of his priZed seLection.
AccordiNg to hiM, drinking wine is a seNsory experience anD so wenT the dramatic expLanation and his Litanya on how to make Love and appreciaTe wineS especiaLLy cHardonnaY. It was sooo detaiLed Like siPping to the Last droP. I was puzzLed anD was kind oF annOyed wiTh how he's maKing so mucH fUss anD compLicatiOn. He's aLways been Like thaT! wiTh Life, poLitics, reLationshiPs even to the simpLest of detaiLs. And so i thought, maybe, he's just too smarT and aTTached to his eMOte-ing nature. While, I, on the other hand is an easy-go-lucky tyPe.. guLping his offereD winE Like a kantO tomador spree-ing LambanOg. We were waY too much druNk that we ended uP snoriNg like tuk-tuk 'tiL 12 pm.
When I got hoMe, I remembered Nathan - a highschooL frienD saying " saNa time wiLL come that we'LL aLL meet sa US.. abLe to say, Okay guys, see you therE!.. i'LL briNg the wiNe.. "
It's so niCe to thinK and dreaM abouT it. WhiLe you caN aLL say "Cheers! Salud! Toast! Kampai! Bring on the bubbLy!" Celebrations are more compLete when winE or champaGne is passeD anD shareD. The mood becomes moRe festive when you hear the cork pOp as LorraiNe do the Brother Louie Louie, smeLL the fruiTy, crisp wiNe brew with Nathan doing the chickeN dance, beLting his Philippine IdoL auditioN pieces. With Eugene, Roan, Au and Emman in tow. With Kwatog on the phone, Bitoy not texting back.. Michael serving us.. Very SYGLO diba? Wine works Like potion that makes fooD appetiziNg, makes compaNy warm and makes an event aLtogether memorabLe..
*whew! Life..
