Hubby and I went to Greenhills ('twas his first time there) and while he looked at video games, I spotted a familiar-looking woman. She looked out of place because she was wearing turn-of-the-century costume (think Maria Clara) and had bushy eyebrows that could put Brooke Shields to shame. Then I remembered that she looked familiar because I saw her pic previously in Chuvaness' blog. Although one can't help but notice her in the crowd because of her appearance, I couldn't really bear giving her a lingering look, baka maging kamukha nya baby ko, LOL. So I took one shot ...

Help Haiti quake victims thru the power of technology
Through the powers of technology, the world is witnessing the unfolding drama that is the aftermath of the powerful Intensity 7 earthquake that hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Hundreds of thousands are believed to be still missing and trapped within the shattered buildings. For those of us in the Philippines, the quake in Haiti has some parallels, if you count the tragic July 1990 earthquake (magnitude 7.7) and more recently, Typhoon Ondoy. Three Filipino members of the UN peacekeeping contingent remain unaccounted for in the Haiti tragedy. But unlike the 1991 ... Continue Reading...
Happy holidays to one and all!
Each year, the family tries to uphold certain Christmas traditions which makes it a much-looked forward to occasion among the kids. In the past, we've either spent it in a hotel or out of town.

We certainly left no stone unturned in loading the house with gifts, food and laughter. I started Christmas Eve on a high note, with a list of dishes for the ... Continue Reading...

Storm Ondoy brings floods to Manila and the rest of Luzon
It has been a day of nonstop rains in Manila, and elsewhere. I've stayed in bed all morning, with this trusty Mac on my lap - all the while staying glued to the reports of my friends on Plurk and Twitter. Something about brownouts, cancelled flights, floods reaching houses, people moving furniture, people wading in chest-deep waters, high way billboards being stripped down, and cars almost submerged in the floods. A bad day to be out, really. It's that bad, and somebody even had to mention taking out Noah's Ark. Am just glad our little bungalow has been spared from ... Continue Reading...
