DespedidaOriginally uploaded by annalyn. My boss was kind enough to give me a despedida lunch at Don Henrico's yesterday as I say goodbye to the Corporate Office and assume a frontline position in our branch in another part of Manila. It is time to move my cheese, so to speak, and being the drifter that I am, I am excited about assuming this new responsibility. 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.

If it is God's will, I will settle in my ... Continue Reading...

Europe is now but a dream
aj4A, originally uploaded by ajay1. The pioneering e-zine by Pinoy expats is now running a previously-published article of mine entitled Notes from a Homesick Croupier in Europe. It's a must-read for my friends who want to know about that part of my past and who would like to have an idea about how it is to be alone in a foreign land.. for the first time. I was 24 and I remember clearly that my sister in the States was flabbergasted. "How could you be there? You don't know anybody there!!!" Presumably, she had heard too much about the abuses and dangers facing Pinoy ... Continue Reading...
