CurlyOriginally uploaded by annalyn. CURLY FOR A DAY. I've grown my hair long and have been bored with its straight look for the longest time. That is why I was doubly thrilled when I had a hair-curling session in SM today en route to buying the UK-made JML ProCeramic Straightener (P1,199.00) It is actually a straightening iron which lets you create "spiral curl effects" on your hair as well. Hmm, what do you think? I was glad that a lady customer gushed today : "Ang ganda naman ng hair mo." I think curly hair is exciting and never boring. Too bad, I know I will not be ...

The downside is that I will sometimes be working on the graveyard shifts so don't take it personally if I don't answer text messages and phone calls during what you'd consider decent hours of the day. That means ... Continue Reading...
The Week That Was
At Krua ThaiOriginally uploaded by scorpioneyes. Just in case you were wondering, these are the ceiling lamps at the Krua Thai Restaurant along the SM Megamall Megastrip. I thought they looked so nice and so I couldn't resist taking a picture of them with the new Nokia 6230i I am testing now. At 1.3 megapixels, this nifty cellphone's camera is good enough..not to mention its crisp-sounding radio and MP3 player which are momentarily diverting me from my intense LUST for an iPod at the moment.Funny but we went to Krua Thai to drink only coffee, which means we did not get ...

What is your concept of “The Better Life?”
GangOriginally uploaded by annalyn. I am happy that my old article on working in Europe is the most commented post in this month's issue of the Pinoy Expats e-zine. It just goes to show how our heroic Overseas Filipino Workers are ambivalent about the issue of whether to stay or not to stay in the Philippines.Before Haloscan loses some of my readers' comments, allow me to reprint some of the most thought-provoking ones here:Tatz: Like you did, I left the country not for my own selfish reasons, but to benefit my parents and more. If it is God's will, I will settle in my ... Continue Reading...
