My Pasay City immersion program has ended and now the whole family is settled in our two-bedroom apartment in Malate, the heart of Manila's tourist district.What else can I say... while I loved my own bedroom with its own spacious bathroom in Pasay, the city itself had become unbearable for me with its filth and all those kids romping around in the streets. It was in Pasay that I was suddenly transformed into a rabid supporter of the population control program. I couldn't even make a decent walk in the evening because there were all these kids -either dirty or naked - ... Continue Reading...

My New Career: Blog Columnist
Like any newbie who has blogged for less than a year or so, I don't pretend to be the most knowledgeable person in web publishing. As the saying goes in Tagalog: "Marami pa akong kakaining bigas." But that hasn't stopped me from being engrossed with what I consider to be one of the most amazing revolutions ever: the phenomenal growth of our blogosphere.

dive2Originally uploaded by annalyn. If I were to make up an imaginary list of 25 Things To Do Before I Die, diving is definitely one of them. And so I was glad when I was able to do it over the weekend, or take an introductory course at least, at the Punta Fuego infinity pool. Well, what can I say...it was one of the most fun things I did in recent times. The only thing was that I was the most difficult student among our group of three. My friend Bianca said she almost died laughing from all my blunders, especially when I wore my diving suit on the wrong side and ... Continue Reading...
Buffest!
ang hangOriginally uploaded by annalyn. The week has whizzed by fast and somehow I feel guilty for not updating this blog. Several things have happened in my life lately, some details of which I will be posting soon. However, one thing that has remained constant is the fact that I've eaten more food than ever. Buffet for lunch and buffet for dinner in one day was really terrible.So busy and so engrossed was I with all the gorging that I forgot about the gym for a while. Hmm, I think a social study on the buffet mentality of Filipinos should be in the works. That's ... Continue Reading...
