When the new campaign slogan for Philippine tourism came out I really didn’t know what to think about it. I was skeptical about people accepting it because for one, the Department of Tourism has had a lot of critics since the last slogan/logo came out. Thankfully, people seemed to be generally enthusiastic about the campaign. […]

I’ve had a love-hate relationship with blogging lately.  Sometimes I love it so much that I post entries daily but sometimes I also wonder why I even bother. It has come to the point where I’ve realized that I’ve changed as a blogger.  I’ve been blogging more about certain topics to get more readers and […]

So much has happened since the last time I posted an entry on this blog. As much as I would want to blog about the things that have gone on recently, they just seem to be too shallow to dwell on at the moment considering what happened down south of the country due to typhoon […]

I can pretty much sing the line from The Blower’s Daughter to my doctor right now: And so it is, just like you said it would be… With much hesitation on my part, I finally stepped on a scale again after three months of medication for my thyroid condition and discovered that I was back […]

What would you prefer: small fish in a big pond or big fish in a small pond? I prefer the former and not the latter. I think that being the small fish in a big pond teaches you a thing or two about humility. It puts things into perspective. When you’re the big fish, there […]

You know how some women often resort to retail therapy when under stressful situations?  You can count me in as one of those women.  Only thing is, instead of buying clothes, I have the nasty habit of buying gadgets. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately and the only thing cheering me up has […]

My new hair (and no, that’s not me) I have always been fickle with my hair. I grow it long and then I cut it really short. I lighten it with color and then darken it again. Last year, I promised myself that I won’t color my hair again and cut my hair short to […]

There’s one word that I think about when I see Connie Sison on TV: contouring. The first time I saw her on TV on GMA 7 I used to wonder what was wrong with what I was seeing. I know she’s a beautiful woman and that she does her job well but I thought there […]

I’m not much of a local TV fan these days but lately I’ve been hooked to the ABS-CBN show 100 Days. It’s the story of a woman being given a second chance on earth to do good to the people she had done wrong to, with the twist being she has to do it in […]

For this post, I will admit to a childhood secret: I used to be a fan of Snooky Serna, particularly of the time when she came out in the movie Blusang Itim with Richard Gomez (who I also loved back in the day). I loved the Cinderella story of the poor girl who wasn’t pretty […]

Today is the day that I’ve been waiting for!  The Philippine Azkals will be taking on Sri Lanka in Colombo for the first of two matches for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers this afternoon and I am looking forward to watching them play their hearts out to move closer to the World Cup! […]

My father used to love photography. When I was little I remember watching him carefully clean his SLR camera (Olympus) and I looked on in fascination as he placed it on his tripod to take photos of the family during special occasions. He had more than one camera and more than one type of lens. […]

I was walking around the mall one day and I found myself standing in front of Toy Kingdom. I normally don’t go in there because I don’t have kids of my own and I’m not exactly in the toy-playing stage anymore but for some reason, I just found myself going in to see what types […]

I’ve always been the type of person who has concern for the environment. I’m the person who fusses if someone in the car wants to throw trash outside the window and who’d throw those toll receipts while in a running vehicle. I fuss over people who burn their trash (to the point of tweeting the […]
