Contrabida Romy Diaz and his ill effects

FICTION Posted by Rica Seeing Taal makes her remember Romy Diaz in his contrabida roles, wearing a robe, so early in the goddang morning. Puffing. Smoke. Everything's hazy again. Must be fog. She's sure it's not smog. She doesn't want to go back to the city. For now. She sees lines - or waves. Or wavy...

Yuppie Humor: It's all in the spelling

Posted by Rio S. Okay, so another hell week's coming to a close and you're probably gagging from the toxic office week by now.
