Often, when somebody says that she’s “asking for a friend,” she’s embarrassed or afraid to pose you the question directly so she pretends to be asking on behalf of a fictional friend. So I’m asking for a friend here… Can you recommend a good Filipino romcom film and/or a good Bollywood romcom film that’s currently […]
Start-Up: Ep 8 The Meaning of Backup, Part 1
Shall we play “I Spy”? Why don’t you list the different times you saw something “backed up” in this episode before reading my post? Then we can compare notes. For now, I’ll give you five different usages of “backup.” 1.Youngsan backed up the files. In this instance, to backup files means to copy a computer […]
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is now open. Of all the kdramas I’m watching this week, this is the only show where the couple should have a serious conversation (preferably with a counselor) before any talk of long-term commitment. This is a dose of reality, because this is a Bitch’s blog, and we need to be grounded. There […]

Start-Up: Eps 7 & 8 Titles and Traitor??
Hiro90, a CS major, emailed me to share this information: At the beginning of ep 8, we see YongSan stayed behind after everyone had left under the excuse of backing up the project’s source code while ominous background music and narrations were played. Well, what he did is actually backing up the project’s source code […]
Start-Up: On Lying, Part 2
I already gave you two ways of looking at lies. Start-Up: Ep 6 On Lying, Part 1 I’ll give you a couple more. The reason I’m doing this is so we, Bitches can see that lies aren’t the same, and judge them according to the situation or context in which they were said. Let’s all […]

Start-Up: Ep 6 On Lying, Part 1
I visited other sites yesterday and saw a fair amount of outrage and pearl-clutching going on because Dosan lied on behalf of JP. I’m not going to talk about lying from the legal perspective since none of the characters testified under oath and committed perjury. I’m not going to talk about lying from an ethical […]
Start-Up: Ep 6 The Key Man
I wrote a lot. Don’t skip Part C. A. Who’s the Key Man? That’s the title of this episode, “Key Man” and I believe the writer put out several ways to interpret this. This is the definition: “A person who plays a key role in decision-making in an organization.” JP was the first one to […]

Start-Up: Episode 5
This will be brief because I still have to watch Episode 6. Just a handful of notables: 1. The hands I told you that hands were significant, didn’t I? In this episode, the writer tells us more about this hand metaphor. Chulsan: Did she say anything about you? Dosan: My hands. Just my hands nothing […]

Start-Up: Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread
The thread is now open for comments and analyses lol. It came as no surprise that “hands” were the topic of conversation between Dalmi and her grandma, and Dosan and the two Sans. Both of them felt like nobodies because they were empty-handed. Dalmi: Dosan: Sending virtual high-fives! Let’s enjoy the show!
