We can’t always find ampalaya or bitter gourd here. So when they started to appear at the supermarkets two months ago, it has become a part of my weekly budget. Ampalaya with egg is very easy to prepare so I went on for weeks cooking ampalaya this way. Honestly, I had never tried cooking ampalaya [...]
Since I’ve arrived here in Osaka, I’ve always looked forward to watching the Yodogawa Hanabi* display each year. It takes place on the first or second Saturday of August. I make sure that I don’t miss it because it’s just a few minutes walk from my place. There are lots of fireworks all over Japan [...]
A wedding, whether you’re the bride or one of the bride’s maids, is one of the major reasons why many ladies seek the aid of a weight loss product. We have to be “fit” enough to wear those gowns! Nope, I am not getting married nor am I going to be one of the bride’s [...]
Shaynna loves to pose for pictures as much as she loves to play with the camera. She took this photo with a finger covering the flash. The only good thing about it is that it made my arms look a little bit thinner.
Took me some time to post about this, but Shaynna started preschool last June 10. It was sad, since my father could no longer be with us to see her off on the first day, but it was an eventful first week. Day One: Before leaving the house, Shaynna appeared confident to face a new [...]

My first flash drive was only 128MB. That was more than five years ago, and it cost a lot! I think it cost me more than US$25. Now, flash drives and the rest of the electronic gadgets are getting smaller, better, and cheaper. I was in the supermarket a few days ago and there’s a [...]
Taken at Ma. Cristina (Pryce) Gardens, Iligan City – my father’s final resting place.
I love theme parks! I just don’t like getting in those roller coaster rides. I could take on the challenge, though. I just love to walk around the park and to take pictures. My visit won’t be complete without visiting the souvenir shops. Above all, I love fireworks display! I’ve been to Disney Land and [...]
I don’t like to admit it. But like many people out there, I often complain or let the pessimist in me take over when things don’t go well. And many times, I come to think that it is OK to do so, until I see other people. I got these photos from a forwarded email [...]
