Drivers license renewal in mall

February 4, 2014 ·

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

January 13, 2014 ·

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...

Strange names Pinoy parents give their kids, Part 2

December 31, 2013 ·

Thank you everyone for your comments. Like most of you, I had a laugh when new names came up. All these is a rather interesting facet of our culture. It reflects our fascination/affinity for some things. I would like to know who has the say when the final decision in naming a child comes up. But I guess it's all to be respected, considering that parents have nine months to think of a name that a child will carry forever :) Anyway, here's the new list: As seen on Linkedin: I Am Suerte (translation: I Am Lucky) No kidding. She's real & now married ... ... Continue Reading...

Strange names Pinoy parents give their kids

December 29, 2013 ·

When the 2013 UPCAT results were released last week, local netizens made a fiesta out of the name of one successful examinee Sincerely Yours '98. She's nicknamed Truly and has two other siblings: Spaghetti '88 and Macaroni '85. The numbers stand for their date of birth. Spaghetti '88 has since gotten married and has a son named Cheese Pimiento. And here's the birth cert (photo & details via my kumare Ivy Lisa Mendoza) Our friend, Prof. Rolando de la Cruz, CEO of Darwin International School in Bulacan where Sincerely Yours (nicknamed Truly) graduated, ...

@YahooPH gives bad head

December 6, 2013 ·

Everyone of us who are seasoned in journalism knows that a good head (headline to the layman) is noble: imagine being able to write the meat of the matter in just a few words. But a bad head? I almost choked when I read this in the world's No. 2 search engine before I retired to bed last night: Being the grammar nazi, I felt compelled to post the glaring error on my Facebook wall while calling the attention of the only Yahoo contact I know on FB, tech editor Alora Guerrero. Sorry Alora if we caused you to panic, as this is obviously beyond your turf. ... Continue Reading...
