Trick or Treat! I may be living far from the U.S. but I got my share of treats from two blogger friends!This beautiful New Jersey postcard came from Fortuitous Faery. After some e-mail exchanges, we learned that we both love writing mails! Now, she’s not only my blogging friend, but she’s now my pen friend. [...]
Me: Ma, how’s it going? Have you won?Mama: Nope. Didn’t make it. I lost. I just ranked 9th.Me: Really? I don’t believe you…Mama: It’s true! If only I had handed out something… It’s barangay (ward) election in the Philippines yesterday and my mother’s a candidate for barangay councilor. I can attest to her love for [...]
I’m really glad Rolando tagged me in this meme: 3 things that I won’t let go. This made me realize that for quite sometime now, I have not done some “deep-thinking”. I really need to sort out what are the things that matter most to me… 1. LoveAny kind of love is wonderful and has [...]
Amor tagged me to join her recollection of embarrassing moments in college… hello Amor! ^-^ Being a very clumsy person, I had and still have lots of those moments that I so want to forget. Here’s one of those… I was done with my classes that day, so I headed to Ayala Center – Cebu [...]
I’d been planning to take a picture of a ???? (karaoke) house somewhere in Osaka. Its walls, banners, and posters are all in pink! However, I’d been putting it off and it’s already Saturday!So, once again, I’m leaving you a picture of Shaynna, cuddled in her favorite comforter. She couldn’t sleep without either of her [...]

Iligan City have been dubbed as the City of Majestic Waterfalls and the Industrial City of the South (I don’t know if the second one still applies since many of the factories were closed down).

He came from a big family, and a poor one at that. His father was only a fisherman and his mother was a housewife. However, he was not content at ending up like his father. So he did his best to go beyond high school – fishing at night and going to a technical school [...]
Many of us are taking our health for granted. At times, we give more attention to the body parts that we could plainly see. Have you lately wonder how are your kidneys doing? Well, I am. Especially because a very close aunt and an uncle died because of kidney failure. And recently, I was told [...]
Got tagged by Era and Femickey. However, in most of the letters, I adapted Rolando’s style. I hope you won’t fall asleep while reading this… ^-^ Instructions:Each player starts with some random facts/habits about himself/herself. As you are tagged you need to post the rules and your responses on your own blog. At the end [...]
Two other practical uses of a keyboard as discovered by Shaynna when she was 8 months old: #1: As crying-stopper/toy: #2: If turned over, could be a good foot/leg support: But then, this busted keyboard immediately became obsolete when she noticed it was not connected to something and that nothing happens when she pressed the [...]
I was 14 years old when I first visited Manila. Having spent my life in a rural area, I first thought it was really an awesome place: tall buildings, wider roads, more cars, and there’s the train! So my family and I got on the LRT and enjoyed the ride until we passed through the [...]
