As this blog's contribution to the "so-called" Filipino-American Friendship Day, let me share my own experience on how Filipinos are treated like second-class citizens in their own country in that premium piece of land called the US Embassy Manila on Roxas Boulevard. Ironic but true. Are Filipinos masochists? Or is it just those imperious American Embassy "diplomats" who lack respect for Filipinos (and their hard-earned $131), denying them of their right to a US visa within one minute of seeing them? The US Embassy in Manila has of course become less "inhuman" ... Continue Reading...
Food-trippin’ in Singapore … almost;)

The pain of changing Wordpress themes.... The past week saw my traffic drop tremendously after I changed my blog theme to Feedoo. For a while there, I thought my blog was hacked because I couldn't seem to access it from our office, gym (Fitness First) and the mall branch of Netopia. This site just drew a blank when I typed my URL. On the other hand, it was weird because I was able to view it from my house and some of my other friends' peecees. My web host Yuga and I got into a discussion and he surmised that it was a DNS problem with users subscribing to PLDT My ... Continue Reading...
