i read somewhere that in blogosphere “publish or perish” is also pretty much the adage. so when i created this blogsite i promised myself to have a post everyday or at least every other day. well, i’m not very good at keeping promises to myself, am i? one week and i already broke it! for good reasons though…
a) […]
a wad of skin care products now claim to have vitamins or anti-oxidants in them to give your skin that glow, that radiance, etcetera… whatevaah.
it’s better to have those nutrients IN your skin than ON it! To me, a yummier way is to drink orange juice. It’s a good source of Vit C, potassium, folate, thiamine, B6 and other nutrients. It’s also easier to drink a glass or […]
my husband can be so mega-impulsive sometimes. i said out loud a wishful thought, “hey, wouldn’t it be nice if we could see niagara falls…” and he ended up adding a one-day Canada leg to our already squashed US tour timetable. it cut short his stay with me in New York to less than a day. i was already […]

setting up a website was not difficult…dammit, it was excruciating! as i did each step in the most scholarly method of trial and error, i exhausted my limited vocabulary of swear words.
y’see, one of the main reasons for the agony was, things i wanted simply did not match my skill level. Yup, I’m a control freak. i wanted to […]
travel diary: feb 04 - Narita, Japan
I just got off a very, very turbulent, hair-raising flight on my way to New York via Narita, Japan. Somewhere over Japan sea (as our flight path on our tv screens showed), there was so much turbulence that our plane swayed left and right, creaked and rattled, and then […]
Comforted by the knowledge that Canberra is a well-organised, peace-loving city (sometimes touted as boring), I headed to Commonwealth Park this morning to watch the Olympic torch relay. I was greeted by loud shouts of ‘One-China, one-China!’ and a sea of red Chinese flags being waved at the protesters who were also chanting ‘Free Tibet, […]

I watched my first show yesterday in Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall on 6th Avenue - the Chinese New Year Splendor featuring the Divine Performing Arts and Renaissance Performing Arts.
The show features Chinese classical dance and music (in tenor, soprano and contra-alto) conveying the country’s 5,000-year rich heritage and culture. It definitely was […]
Someone once proudly told me that the Philippines is the text capital of the world… Huh? Oh well, ok, at least we’re a capital of the world for something…
True, text messaging is the cheaper alternative to voice calls and those who want to save use it more often than voice calls. I can understand that. […]
I don’t think there’s another culture that’s more fixated on mobile phones than Filipinos. It seems every man and his dog has a mobile phone. A recent study revealed that even the Filipino poor spend at least P100 per month on their mobile phones. That’s good. I believe in equality, everyone has a right to […]

I have conjunctivitis and my eyes are red as a rabbit’s, swollen and so damn itchy! I haven’t been the best since my holiday. I sneeze all the time; my nose is itchy and runny – onslaught of an allergy. Either Digos has become so polluted or my immune system also went on a holiday […]

Thank God the barangay elections are over!
Having missed the elections for the last ten years, I was gobsmacked at the circus that it became. Hordes of posters and flyers made me think that it was the presidential elections.
For the last two weeks, I woke up to the ear-blasting ‘louie beltran atong botohan, louie beltran3x…sang to […]

It’s exactly two weeks before my long awaited indefinite leave prior to retiring. At least, I’m fervently hoping this is where it will all lead to.
There was really nothing special with 30th September. It’s just a date my husband and I plucked from thin air to give myself something to aim for. Now, I guess, […]
