At dahil uso na rin lang naman ang gumawa ng mga kung anik-anik tungkol sa hashtag na ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines, I made some myself. Dami pa kong gustong gawin pero ito lang muna: Read more
I was going to post this as my Facebook Status Message but decided against it since I am “Facebook-friends” with a looooot of my officemates and I am pretty sure, I would be ribbed nonstop if they read this so I decided to write it here (and I am thinking very few, if any, of them know of this site.)

A few nights ago, on Monday, December 12, to be exact, while browsing Facebook, I came across a post about a customer who wrote a very emotional albeit funny “break-up” letter with her favorite fastfood restaurant, Chic-Boy. I was immediately drawn to it because Chic-boy has become my favorite resto, too. Anyway, the author of that post, Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, apparently a writer, director and actress, narrated what happened to her on November 21 at the Chic-Boy Timog branch. Read more
The International Human Rights Day is celebrated every December 10th. (That’s a very special day to me because that’s also my hubby, Bong’s birthday!) In the Philippines, there is a volunteer group called RockEd Philippines which provides venues for alternative education on today’s most pressing current issues especially those involving the Eight Millenium goals, and of course, human rights.

A friend’s blogpost about a teacher from her 9-year old brother’s school has become viral. In it, she criticizes the computer teacher for giving an assignment that directed her grade three students to access their facebook accounts or make one if they don’t have one; search for a particular page, like the page, and then like an entry in that page’s pageant. The entry happens to be the teacher’s daughter participating in that contest. Read more
(I wrote this blogpost last Monday, November 21, and because I’m busy as he**, I was able to post this just now. I also thought I’d be able to accompany this post with photos taken during our EK trip, but I am not sure if ate Kara has already downloaded the photos from the digicam, so I am posting this even with the absence of the said photos.)

It was barely two months ago when my mom told me she and Papa talked about going to Hong Kong. I thought at first she was just joking since we had just come home from our Cebu-Bohol Trip (which I was not able to blog about here). So when I saw the Cebu Pacific seat sale announcement, I immediately sent her a text message to let her know about it. She said yes, and she instructed me to book for a round trip flight for her…and 10 more! That meant she, my papa, my sister Anne, me, Daddy Bong, Ate Kara, Jeremy, Cassie, my sister Iyoy, her husband and my niece Freya would all go. Yes, you heard it right, all eleven of us were going to HK. Read more
I shouldn’t be here working today. I should be in the hospital taking care of my little boy. He’s in the hospital because of another asthma attack. Have I told you that asthma’s a b*tch? Yeah, it is, especially for my family. All my three children have it, and the mere change of weather brings a new attack. It doesn’t matter how much you illness-proof your home, how carefully you take precautionary measures, how thoroughly you clean your house. With the proliferation of all things harmful, you’re left to wonder where else you could turn to. Read more
