It was only last week that we had hellish conditions at 40°C, and now it’s13°. As I’m writing this, Canberra is shivering through the coldest February in years. That and the need to concentrate have compelled me to work from home.
Nature has run amok. Her help was needed to control the raging bushfires in Victoria, and […]

I don’t have to tell anyone how important it is to keep a healthy heart. I don’t deprive myself of any food and at times, I overeat, but now I always know when to stop indulging and start exercising.
I learnt that any exercise that does not get your heart pumping does not achieve much. This cheap little gadget has […]

Baking is therapeutic. No, I’m not having Izzi’s muffin madness in Grey’s Anatomy. I just find conjuring something from a hodge-podge of ingredients simply fulfilling - pun intended :) The reward is instantaneous…oh well, in about an hour.
The recipe said to cook it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. But since I didn’t follow the suggested baking pan shape and size, […]

Last July i decided to go to work. After our US-Canada-Mexico tour and buying/renovating a house in Davao, I needed to replenish our bank balance. I felt guilty shopping with my husband’s money. And i needed to do something worthwhile other than surfing, reading blogs and friendster. My mind’s turning to mush.
I did contract work for three months, and at […]
My husband and I met with Michelle and Jim (who are soon to be wed) last Saturday to scout for a wedding veil. Well, we all got sidetracked sniffing perfumes on sale at Canberra Centre in Civic. A few dollars later, we came out like happy kids with a bagful of lollies and smelling like […]
Having seen the first Hulk installment, I must admit that I was bracing myself for another disappointment. The Eric Bana starrer was too dark for my taste, heavy and full of melodrama that dragged on and on and on. After all, I watch this sort of movie to entertain myself. If I wanted something deep […]
Reflecting on my life and the lives of those around me, i say:
How can you expect love to find you when you keep running around looking for it?
Happiness is not
…and to all those working for the government:
i’ve come across this article that so aptly describes the challenges policy advisers have and the standards that any public servant should strive for when providing advice to government. Here is the link: Challenges confronting economic policy advisers.
Learn the message by heart - isapuso, baka sakaling gumanda (kahit konti) ang takbo ng gobyerno.
and the city. hehehe. what d’ya think?
the movie premiered here in Australia Thursday last week. hordes of female moviegoers lined up to see it, all dressed and dolled up ala SATC’s fashion - patterned winter stockings, evening wear, stilettos and a glass of wine to boot. My friends and I were too underdressed in our jeans […]
Life always happens in seasons and I’m constantly out of tune with it.
There was a time when every girl my age in my neighborhood, friends and former schoolmates seemed to be getting married and pregnant, vice-versa or just plainly getting pregnant.
lest you think i’m dead, i’m writing this quick short blog to let you know that i’m still alive and kicking. and yes, literally kicking as i’m trying to lose some weight for an upcoming wedding.
after my globetrotting mission for the last few months, i’m now a full time housewife. i spend my days sending my hubby off to work, cleaning the house, cooking meals, doing the laundry, greeting hubby from work and… i’m finding that it’s not so full time at all. argh, retirement is not what it purports to be!
i’ve read until […]
it’s cloudy, rainy and cold today. and i’m miserably stuck inside the house without my usual morning walk and dose of sunshine to envigorate me.
i don’t like
my dad’s a Digos historian of some sort, having lived in Digos since he was a child. he dedicated most of his working life as a policy adviser for several mayors, as the town’s information officer and development planner for many years, and once served as an elected councilor. his knowledge of the town is intimate and his memory is […]
we recently completed building a 30 cubic metre biogas digester on our pig farm. A biogas digester is a waste management system that will turn our farm waste into reusable energy in the form of methane gas used for lighting and fuel. i did tons of research on different systems and found this to be more sustainable and more environmentally friendly […]
