Until my transfer to my present post last week, I was in the publicity business. In fact, have been so on an on-and-off basis for the past couple of years. I've been around long enough to know how exacting this work can be, a work which requires you to attend to every "impossible" request and massage the egos of some journalists whose egos are the size of the Millenium Dome. If you read The Devil Wears Prada, this is the media version.On the other hand, what if the situation is reversed...if it's the publicist sort of bullying you? Encountering a few "undesirables" ...

Fab places: Mt. Malarayat & Westin’s Poolside BBQ
Malarayat PoolOriginally uploaded by annalyn. Mother's Day found me chilling out with the kids at the sprawling Mt. Malarayat Golf & Country Club in Lipa City. I've heard positive comments about this place from some friends and so I was glad to experience it first hand. I was happy to find out they have the facilities to beat the summer blues away such as swimming pools, a 27-hole golf course and separate country clubs for kids and adults.

Moving Out, Moving In Part 2
DespedidaOriginally uploaded by annalyn. My boss was kind enough to give me a despedida lunch at Don Henrico's yesterday as I say goodbye to the Corporate Office and assume a frontline position in our branch in another part of Manila. It is time to move my cheese, so to speak, and being the drifter that I am, I am excited about assuming this new responsibility.

Gadget Review: Nec N923
Nec N923 Originally uploaded by annalyn. I liken this cellphone to a girl with the X-factor: everybody who sees it would like to have a piece of the action and hold it in their hands. You'd definitely want it if you like your baby to be light as a feather and as slim as a ballet dancer. What else makes the NEC N923 tick? Find out here. ... Continue Reading...
