Photos of storm Mario submerging Manila in flood

September 19, 2014 ·

We didn't see this coming!!! Most of us in Metro Manila were awakened with thunder and lightning brought about by Storm Mario (international code name: Fung-Wong) ..so loud that I thought it was the Apocalypse! With my Girl Scout mentality, I was planning escape plans in my head should the situation get worse (because the thunder was giving me nightmares in my half-awake state). But thankfully, I live in an area where the streets don't get flooded (even during the worst of Ondoy). Even more thankful when we woke up to find out that classes were suspended, and so was ...

LTO ban on license plate covers… is unbelievable!

August 3, 2014 ·

We all know what this country needs aren't more laws and stupid regulations coming from the bureaucracy. What we need is strict enforcement about policies that make sense to the public, not formulated depending on the whim of those in power. Anyway, I was in a state of exasperation last week when I was flagged down by a traffic officer for a 'traffic violation'. I said "what?" I was in the right lane, wasn't driving on my coding day, and wasn't beating the yellow light the way I sometimes do (LOL). The officer told me that I was in violation of something that I ...

Typhoon Glenda photos, 56 hours of no electricity & counting…

July 18, 2014 ·

Friends and kin have been asking if my little family is fine in the aftermath of typhoon Glenda. We have been surviving with no power for three days now :) The brownout started early morning of Wednesday (along with a cut-off in water supply) and I can only believe Meralco when they say it will restored by 10 tonight. I hope so... please give us a reason to rejoice this weekend! The water has come back but 60 hours (and counting) of no electricity is just so cruel. Am still trying to figure out which was worse: Typhoon Milenyo or Glenda. I dug through my archives ... Continue Reading...

Strange names in the 2013 bar exam results

March 18, 2014 ·

And here now is our 2014 edition of strange names culled from the results of the 2013 bar exams released today, March 18: The top 3: 1. Habeas M. Corpuz You couldn't get more legal than this.Can we presume that the parent of this board passer is a lawyer too? To the layman, habeas corpus is rather technical and is referred in full as the "writ of habeas corpus". The phrase refers to the court order that allows a person under detention to be brought before a judge or court. All we can say is: whew! What is your nickname? :) 2. Nat King C.Coles We ...

Applying for a Korean tourist visa in Manila

February 21, 2014 ·

w00t! I just concluded a trip to chilly South Korea which I haven't been to previously.My sister (who holds a Korean passport) was actually discouraging me from going because February is the coldest month of the year but the more I was challenged to go! Before starting with the travelogue, let me just tell you what a hassle it was compiling requirements for the needed South Korea visa. I was granted an SK visa a long time ago when the Korean embassy still held office at the Pacific Star Building in Makati but I did not get to use it. Am glad they did not take this ...
