Image004 Originally uploaded by annalyn. Anna meets Annal. It doesn't matter that weeks before she came to Manila, my Norway-based tokayo (in Pilipino, meaning a person with which you share the same first name) Anna Lyn and I were in constant YM conference, discussing plans about shopping in Divisoria and meeting with our high school classmates whom we haven't seen in 20 years! But as it turned out, we were too busy for our own good - me with my work and she with touring the islands with her family. It took extraordinary determination on both our sides to ...

Gadgetophobia & other blues
"Gadgetophobia" I think is the fear of owning gadgets as a result of losing them. But irony of all ironies I now have in my possession three cellphones to make up for what I lost: one is the Samsung that I'll have to return soon, another is the latest model Nokia 7370 which my editor has given me for review, and the last is the brand-new Nokia 6230i which my dearest sistah bought me before she left for the US.

Narnia-fied!
narnia Originally uploaded by annalyn. Maybe this poor blogger doesn't watch movies every so often or maybe because it was simply good. Whatever the reason, I thoroughly enjoyed watching "The Chronicles of Narnia" at SM Megamall over the weekend. Oftentimes, I get to read the book before watching the movie but this is one instance when I now want to buy the book just because I enjoyed the movie. Narnia is a captivating tale of treachery, ambition and greed and how righteousness rules above it all. The cinematography and special effects were simply ... Continue Reading...
Reunited!
If there's anything good that came out of my horrible vacation that just passed, it's the fact that I got to be reunited with a few important people in my life: my college friends, members of my immediate family who came from the US, and my long-lost half-sister Jinky. I don't know what it is about reunions which give me the greatest joy. Aside from the obvious fact that you miss the persons concerned, there's the excitement in starting again where you left off, the sharing of all the juiciest anecdotes you can remember, all the laughter and the food, plus physical ...
