Exercise was never my thing when I was younger. I didn’t really need it at the time because I never really got fat when I was in high school and in college. I experimented by going to the gym during my college years but that didn’t last very long. When I started working, however, that […]
It has been 103 days since Typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines. So many people from all over the world have given not only their money but also their time and effort to help the places affected to rebuild after the storm. There is still a lot to be done, but with the help of everyone […]
If there was one goal that I didn’t expect to accomplish this year, it would probably be this: making an art project that I could display around the house. I was expecting to paint something I could frame and put up on the wall but my art project turned out to be something else: the […]
I started blogging in 2003. At the time I had no idea how and where to start so I looked around at other blogs to see what everyone else was doing. One of the people I started following at the time who still blogs to this day is Richie Z, aka The Pickiest Eater. I’ve […]
There was a time when my gadget wish list comprised of Sony products. This was before I realized how much of a hassle it was for me to have my Sony products repaired when I had problems. It just wasn’t practical for me. I discovered Samsung when I first bought a D900i phone. When I […]

I felt like Cinderella going to the ball with the help of my fairy godmother. Difference is in this case, my fairy godmother was my sister and the ball was a fashion show that had no prince charming in sight — unless you count the male models with their exposed abs. As I mentioned in […]
We make all these plans about how things will turn out, but life happens, plans change, so we adapt. We draw on strength we didn’t know we had. We give up any illusions of control, and we deal head-on with problems that come our way. That quote was from the now-defunct TV series Emily Owens, […]
One thing that most of my friends don’t know about me is that I used to dream of being a figure skater. I love watching figure skating performances whenever I could catch them on TV. In the early days of the mall skating rinks here in the Philippines I often wondered if I could go […]
Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move… I can probably name at least five friends of mine who get all sentimental just hearing those first two lines of the song The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. I’ve been in love with the […]
Finally, after years of not having it on air, Fox Filipino has brought back one of my favorite TV shows from my teen years, TGIS. I remember conversations between me and my sisters wishing that shows like this could be re-aired instead of having them rebooted on TV. I was so excited when I saw […]
As if there couldn’t be any more reason to grieve over the loss of Paul Walker the actor, humanitarian and all-around good guy, Nicholas Sparks fans now have another reason to cry over his death: he was supposed to play Dawson, the male lead in the movie version of the book The Best of Me. […]
I can’t believe that one week after blogging about the effects of the earthquake that hit Cebu and Bohol that I am again posting an entry about another natural disaster that hit the Visayas region. Typhoon Yolanda (International Name: Haiyan), according to many news items I’ve read in these past few days, is the strongest […]
Gullible and guinea pig(ish) me decided to give this product a try: It’s a nose shaper that will supposedly help you make your nose look better. With my blah nose and my envy for the nose of Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye, I decided to give it a try. I got mine from Multiply and […]
