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 […]
i’m a person who introspects a lot. something i see, hear or feel could send me to a psychoanalytical babble with myself. oftentimes, an internal debate happens. a light bulb clicks. an agreement is reached. a stand formulated, and with a few words, articulated. they become my words of wisdom.
here are some - from stuff i scribbled on the pages of my […]
this growing rice crisis in the philippines has prompted me to write this blog…
the first thing i blurted out when i heard about it was, ‘why do we have to eat rice all the time?’
having lived overseas for quite a while now, i learned to
why do i keep coming back to it?
it’s simply because this is where i was humbly born, bred and deeply rooted.
it’s my vessel of childhood memories -of chasing grasshoppers and hunting spiders, of my first garden, of childhood games like tubig-tubig, syatong, tagu-an and bahay-bahayan.
it’s where my first stirrings of adolescence came to pass - girlish giggles, young boys and […]
My friend Roan asked if she could borrow my dance dvd. I once raved to her about it as it helped took 20 kilos (yes, 20 kilos!) off my weight in 2006. I used to weigh 65-68 kilos and for someone who’s an inch short of five feet, that’s heavy!
I slowly gained my weight since i came to Australia and kept it […]
