On a lull from my writing tasks today, I hang around in the women's CR and noticed speckles of white on my hair which I thought was dandruff but on closer inspection turned out to be white hair. Not one but several!Honestly, I am not scared. The white strands of hair appear to have gloriously settled on my crowning glory and I am not having the perverse joy of coloring them brown or orange anytime soon.Here are my thoughts on the matter:White hair is better than no hair.White hair is my badge of wisdom. They stand for the incredible experiences I've had in life which I ... Continue Reading...

Time was when Saturdays stood for my insecurities and fears. I had to go out.I had to be on the move.I had to be on a date, dine out, party the night away, have coffee with friends...till Sunday morning arrives and I would be wasted.

The Fontana of our Youth
Taken at the Pirates' Ship where the kids literally went wet and wild, originally uploaded by ajay. Before the heavy rains lashed Manila, I was fortunate enough to take the kids out to Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino in Pampanga's Clark Special Economic Zone. It was a sunny Sunday and there was hardly any traffic on the much-improved North Expressway. Our trip thus took only one and a half hours.As I found out, you shouldn't go to Fontana if your idea of adventure is plunging the depths of Tubbataha Reef. The resort has a lovely Water Park that is meant for kids. ... Continue Reading...
Austerity begins at home
It is an old line but one worth biting just the same.The President's call to for everyone to practice austerity measures.Truth to tell, this message has an ironic tone to it. There is no more belt-tightening to impose on majority of Filipino income earners whose take-home pay is just enough to meet the family's basic needs. Some people are literally living from paycheck to paycheck and have even resorted to unscrupulous loan sharks to spend today what they could not possibly pay off tomorrow. If any, aus-te-ri-ty should resonate loud and clear to the bourgeois and ... Continue Reading...
