I welcome any excuse to get away from the computer for a while and so it was a blessing when me and the bosses attended the Manila Overseas Press Club Gala Night in the august halls of Malacanang last Wednesday. What transpired during this event made it on the news the next day but still, it's worthwhile to go for the chance to see the much-maligned President up close, hobnob with the so-called "power personalities" and then witness the absolute look of boredom on everyone's face because dinner has not been served at 9 p.m.To begin with, it's hard going to the Palace ...

Twins- Feast of Three KingsOriginally uploaded by annalyn. It is a little known fact that there's one place in Manila which celebrates the Feast of Three Kings annually in grand fashion.

Text messages which make me feel like…Ate Mel
I feel surreal today. To the outside world, I am the harassed single mom who can't be bothered with anything as I am perceived to be so busy already.
