School need not be the feared fortress it's construed to be. As a high school and college student, I tried hard to be a good learner but the most I could do with the effort was to land in the top 10. Pursuing a field I loved (journalism) was the one thing I don't regret, even as this went against the will of my mom who wanted me to pursue a more lucrative science course. I would like to think that my career choice is the reason why am happy and comfortable at this stage in my life. I may not be the one in my batch who drives a BMW or has the biggest house but am ...

One weekend in Solenad 2, Nuvali
Shortly after New Year, I decided to motor down with the kids to Solenad 2 in the upscale district of Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. I haven't really checked out this place ever since writing about its opening in July 2011. It was a good, sunny day and we arrived at our destination in a little less than 40 minutes! At noon, the place was already crowded and I had a hard time finding a parking spot. It was all open-air parking. Solenad 2 is designed as a sprawling strip mall, no upper storeys.

Travelling to Sagada
Travelling to Sagada is something a Filipino should make once in his lifetime. As for me, I've always had this dream of going to Sagada but you really have to make the effort to see it. The land travel was no joke. Ten hours or so going by bus to Banaue and then another 4 to 5 hours riding a jeepney to your final destination. Along the way, you encounter zigzag roads with the mountains to your right and deep ravines to your left. I figure there are also landslides during the rainy season :) Travel to Sagada usually peaks during Holy Week and the date before New Year ... Continue Reading...
