So how was your Christmas? It is close to midnight and about to end here in the Philippines though the Christmas tree will be up until January. I love the season (but not the traffic!) mostly because I get a high from seeing all the gaily-decorated lights in buildings and people's houses. Mr. Z took care of the noche buena last night, mostly because I was too tired from working the graveyard shift the night before. We kept it simple on the table: steamed veggies, shepherd's pie and this yummy pineapple upside down cornmeal cake ... ... Continue Reading...
Valerie Concepcion’s Twitter is quiet after Christmas Party incident
I had the chance to take a picture of the lovely Valerie Concepcion a few days before she got embroiled in a controversy over her December 18 tweet about President Aquino laughing at her jokes at a Christmas party in Malacanang. The tweet, sent to her 281,000++ followers and which she has since deleted, read: "Done w/ work.. Tnx for having me.. :) It was nice to see Pres. P-Noy laughing at my jokes & enjoying my performance..ü #Malacañang #PSGNight" It could have been any other tweet except that a lot of netizens didn't find it timely. More than 500 people ...

SIPA, the first Pinoy game & app on iTunes & Android Market
A group of young mobile app developers have launched the first Pinoy-themed game on iTunes and the Android Market. It is called SIPA or simply called street hacky sack. This game is a must-try because it reminds us of those good old days when Filipino street games like patintero, taguan, habulan, tumbang preso and luksong tinik ruled the day. If I mention these games to my kids now, I know they will just say DUH! to me because they're more used to video games played on handheld consoles, desktops or internet cafes. The desire to refresh our memory with traditional ... Continue Reading...
HSBC Fun Run 2011 a success
I missed the HSBC Fun Run last November 26 because I was too tired from my own chicken run (pardon the pun). But I heard it was successful with close to 3,500 runners participating and P2 million raised for Sa Aklat Sisikat Foundation. The HSBC Fun Run featured 3k, 5k and 10k categories for adults, as well as sprint challenges for children 12 years old and below. Runners of all ages and fitness levels assembled at the SM Mall of Asia grounds at dawn wearing singlets specially designed for the event by international renowned Josie Natori. Some pictures: Warm up ... Continue Reading...
Storm Sendong aftermath photos
I kissed my children today. Scouring the net for news about the aftermath of Storm Sendong, I chance upon some heartbreaking photos - Inconsolable grief is pictured in the face of this father who lost his child at the height of the typhoon. I imagine there was no time to run for most as they got swallowed up by the rampaging floodwaters. Photo via @mindanaoan on twitter. Authorities now say the affected areas in Northern Mindanao experienced in one day more than a month's worth of rainfall. And I can't believe the national weather bureau failed us again in ...
