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
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
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 ...

Drivers license renewal in mall
Some Twitter friends were asking me yesterday if it was my birthday because I posted a status about renewing my driver's license. And I said no. I've just been sort of walking around on needle pins by driving around with an expired one. Hahaha. I must say don't imitate because only a crazy girl like me can do that :) I really can't remember the details of my LTO drivers license renewal the last time. So I was told it's every three years now. Even so, the waiting time was quite long even if it was done in a mall. Maybe it was all a matter of timing? It was, after ... Continue Reading...
Those funny Pinoy business names
I've been seeing a lot of funny business signs/business names in Parañaque City lately. When I was just new to the area, it was just Robocock, a small chicken feeds store which has since been bulldozed & replaced by an SM Hypermarket. Anyway, am mentioning this because Greek Taverna, the resto I blogged in my previous post is beside a beauty salon cleverly named Starbuhoks, using the same mermaid logo as the coffee chain. (buhok in Filipino is hair) Potential copyright issue here but I don't think a big name like Starbucks should even bother. This salon is ... Continue Reading...
