My first post for 2012! I’m busy as always but the major problem was I couldn’t find the motivation of writing something. I’ve finally decided to write just about anything and keep going. So, while our neighbors lit some firecrackers to welcome 2012, here’s what my family did… It was fun as always, even more [...]
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 [...]
Iligan City is blessed with majestic waterfalls and cold springs. So, there’s a number of spring pools and resorts in the city. One of them is the Maze Park and Resort which is locally known as “Maze”. Maze is not as accessible as the Timoga spring Pools but paying the extra fare or renting a [...]
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 [...]
I’m not doing an advertisement for “Kodak” (although it would be great if I am!). It’s just that “Kodak” is one of the oldest camera film brands so I grew up using the word “kodak” to mean a camera or taking a photo. It’s Fathers’ Day! Happy Fathers’ Day to all the fathers out there. [...]
My father grew up in a family of fishermen, so even if he worked as an engineer at a petrochemical plant, he still maintained a lot of “fisherman practices”. One of those was lighting up his “Petromax”, a kerosene paraffin pressure lantern, when there’s a blackout. I loved the warm glow of the paraffin lamp [...]
One thing I would like to give my mother as a Mother’s Day gift is a pair of eyeglasses. It doesn’t have to be designer reading glasses, because brand names doesn’t really matter to her, as long as she is comfortable with it. My mother is not a fan of Harry Potter, but when you [...]
I finally had my old Dell laptop fixed and left it with my family in the Philippines. It was a lot cheaper compared to buying a new computer. The old desktop computer at home had Windows installed on it and it was often infected with viruses. The people at home have no idea about sites [...]
My family’s house is not in a subdivision nor does it have a lawn. Although a fence surrounds it, we don’t have a doorbell just like most of the houses in the neighborhood. Well, in rural areas, all you have to do is loudly say “ayo..?” (maybe, just like “hello”). But it sure is nice [...]
I was four years old when my parents finally bought a patch of land and had a small house constructed. As the years went by and a lot of “extension” renovations, the 1-bedroom house had two more bedrooms added. Most of the time, relatives came to live with us so me and my siblings shared [...]
What do you usually do to welcome the New Year? I did the “jumping so that you would get taller” until I was 23 years old. I usually have lots coins in my pocket. But, I don’t wear polka dots. It would be such a waste of money because I’m pretty sure I won’t wear [...]
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.
