I know, i know, this is almost like a Friendster survey. But I hate writing about boring, depressing topics so I answered this to amuse myself. It's actually a take-off from one local celebrity's blog:Four names you go by:1. Anna2. AJ (circa 90's)3. Juju (circa 80's)4. Nallen (as my mom/sis would call me)Four things you like about yourself:1. My honesty2. My sense of humor3. My passion for life and living4. Being Superwoman!Four things that annoy you:1.

Revisiting ‘Desiderata’
This has been a terrible week. I feel that my body is frail and dying but I have to report for work and perform my motherly duties, every single day. It has not been easy fighting my demons but as always, I succeed in effecting a facade of invincibility.I realize now that I have such high tolerance for pain, physical and emotional. I am almost a masochist without meaning to be one. I am not a doormat but sometimes I ask if I am destined to be drawn to this person who hurts me by his sheer indifference or to circumstances which never fail to test my fortitude and my ...

When love is forever
Scene from 'The Notebook', .I bought The Notebook paperback five years ago but only got to read it over the weekend in preparation for watching the movie of the eponymous title.

Net illusions

He doesn't know it until somebody tells him they are. Paul tells me the first time, the girl he was seriously chatting with, turned up on this site. Last week, he excitedly tells me, there's a new girl he's fond of who comes from Southern Philippines and "is really good-looking." He sends me the pics (I am glad to be a juror of his choices)and as soon as it downloads, I study it and say ... Continue Reading...
In sickness and in health
Street scene, Quiapo, Manila, originally uploaded by ajay1.I haaate this time of year, mainly because because it's the season when colds, cough, diarrhea, flu, pneumonia and so on and so forth affect everyone. More so when sickness descends on my kids and I am transformed into one nervous wreck of a mother.I thought the worst was over when all my three kiddos woke up with sore eyes three weeks ago. Timely intervention ( read: overpriced medicines from the ophthalmologist) made them feel better after a few days and prevented me from going to the office in dark shades a ... Continue Reading...
