Bisdak Babbles

It wouldn’t be hard to find a gift if Shaynna were to tell me what she really wants. But she won’t. When I ask her, she would just tell me that anything would be fine. If I make suggestions, then she would tell me that she doesn’t want me to spend on gifts! Unusual for [...]

This is just a short post. I am actually Changi Airport’s free internet terminals. I am finally going home! A few hours from now, I will be with my little girl again. But I had to give up 3 huge bottles of sandwich spread. I didn’t have enough baggage allowance and checking those bottles in [...]

It was around 2:00AM when I noticed some posts in Facebook about the floods in Iligan City, Cagayan de Oro and other parts of Mindanao. I grew up in Linamon (town closest to Iligan City) where my family still lives and I couldn’t recount having experienced typhoon. I hoped that the situation wouldn’t get worse [...]

29 days to Christmas! 29 days more then I’ll be on a plane home! I’m so excited already. I look forward to seeing my little girl again. I already have lots of things in mind that we’ll do together, one of them is of course, photo-shoots! I don’t have an SLR but I just love [...]

We Filipinos staying outside our country loves to send just about anything to our family. It’s almost Christmas again so it is the best time to start buying Christmas gifts among other things. I’ve been accumulating small stuffs since early this year so my Balikbayan box is almost ready for shipping. Last year, I made [...]

Last Christmas, I went home a week before Christmas. No, no, no. My wallet was not ready for Christmas and vacation. I just wanted to see my little girl getting on the stage during their Christmas Program. One of the good things she got from her school is a boost in self-confidence. Every student, from [...]

My father left us in May 2008. Three Christmases had passed without him, perhaps more than 10 years? He had worked in Saudi Arabia since I was 13 years old. He rarely went home on Christmas holidays. He preferred to go home in May because we were on a longer school break. I can’t remember [...]

Years ago, Christmas decors contest were usually held in my hometown. But due to the very bad economic situation, the contest has been stopped. Thankfully, the closest city to my hometown had the same contest. Going there made my daughter and niece really happy.

I love going to the Changi Airport Terminal 3 mainly because it is not crowded. There is this shop called Periwinkle where I often find beautiful dresses for Shaynna that are always on sale! Or I could just bring a good book with me and find a chair in one of the quiet spots. There’s [...]

I have not even started running again, yet here I am, so full after the Christmas party with other Filipinos in the office. I think it is about time to try out a very safe, if not the best weight loss supplement. We held the party at a KBox and because of two generous colleagues, [...]

Here are the purple Christmas decors at Orchard: I would have preferred more vivid colors than these, but still, they look great.
