My blog friend Toni posted this more than two weeks ago and since I've been rather uninspired in updating this site (while awaiting my DSL connection at home), I had fun doing this. It's always fun when you don't have to exercise too much of your brain. Call me uninteresting, call me boring but here are 22 random things about yers truly: 1. While most people love pizza, I don't. 2. Don't pester me with Pinoy Big Brother, I hardly watch TV. My son won't let me. 3. I had my first boyfriend at the age of 20. 4. Que horror.In my 20's and living alone, I woke up to an ... Continue Reading...
A sucker for ‘psychics’
How much of your life would you leave to fate and how much of it would you leave to fortune-tellers or self-proclaimed 'psychics'? I didn't realize how my close friends were drawn to these things until I told them about how my resident psychic M accurately predicted some things in my life and they would badger me: "So who is she? What's her telephone number and errr, how much?" My kids would kill me if they knew Mom would pay P600 to have her fortunes told when they could have two gallons of ice cream instead. But I do see Madame M every semester or once every ... Continue Reading...
One-day vacation in Bangus Country
Bangus etc. Originally uploaded by annalyn. I could say that one of the things that makes me a true-blue Filipino is my love for the milkfish, or bangus in local parlance. Go to any market (in the Luzon region, at least) and you will almost always find this gray-scaled fish in the stalls.

The health-conscious prefer the fat-free paksiw na bangus or the sinigang na bangus sa miso but I am also partial to the many imaginative ways our good ol' ... Continue Reading...
A Birthday Lunch at Mano’s Greek Taverna
Birthday Pics Originally uploaded by annalyn. With the twins out on their field trip and almost all of my close friends off on their long vacation, it didn't look like an eventful birthday for me. Good that Z, who contributes for the Inquirer, decided to tag me along to a food tasting trip to breezy Tagaytay. If there's something that gonna entice me to leave everything behind, that's the smell of food and especially if it's something I haven't tried... like Greek food! After what seemed like an effortless trip, we arrived at Mano's Greek Taverna by ... Continue Reading...
… & a lil boozing at Dusit’s Fiesta San Miguel
SaN Mig Originally uploaded by annalyn. Immediately after my Tagaytay food trip, I headed off to Dusit Hotel in Makati to meet my fellow Blogkadas led by Sachiko who planed in from Tokyo with her husband Michiyo. A few months ago, I met Sachi in Japan and so I was naturally excited to see her in town this time. First thing, she raved about how much she enjoyed her Bora vacation, the second honeymoon with hubby in their 20 years or so of marriage (whew!) And I was titillated to find out that during her Philippine homecoming, Sachi had chosen to stay in the ... Continue Reading...
