2006 - The Year of the Dog
It is 12 midnight right now, January 29, 2006. From less than a block away from my house, I hear the sound of firecrackers. I look out the window, and see bursting fireworks in the sky. Oh yes, I recall - it is Chinese New Year, as based on China’s lunar calendar.
‘Kung Hei Fat Choi’ or ‘Kiong […]
Selling Sex on TV
If you have watched the feature on the World’s Sexiest and Wildest TV Commercials, and you happen to be an extreme moralist, you could have had the shock of your life. And to think that here in the Philippines, the Board of Censors already frown at the bikini clad, horse riding, alluring ladies in rhum […]
Coffee-licious
This is not an endorsement. But of all the instant coffee brands that I have tried, San Mig ‘three in one’ coffee is the one that has truly captured my taste. Not even the so-called imported types have impressed my picky taste till I discovered San Mig.
I am not really a coffee drinker. Well, at least, […]
Surprise from former ward
Last week, I got a pleasant surprise from Adoree, one of my former students.
Adoree Almira Jabanes… yes, such a nice name for a talented young lady. She and her older sister Aprilette were my former wards. I was their tutor when they were in grade school. I say both girls are really amazingly intelligent and excellent although in […]
Catching up…
Mmm… let me see now… one, two, three… six days of not publishing entry in this web journal.
My legion of readers (haha!) must have missed me. So, what have I been up to during this week long absence? To me, this is a question not needing an answer. A mother, a wife, an editor/writer, … and […]
Prom girl
One of the things I love for having a daughter is that I don’t get left behind when it comes to fashion trends. Indeed, with my daughter (though I reiterate - she is not a favorite child because I don’t go for favoritism….lol) I am updated on what is in or what is out, what is trendy or […]
Favorite child?
Yesterday, I got my daughter a new bed. She has been urging me and her dad for a new one these past months.
As soon as it was delivered to our home, I made the bed at once, put on the cover, fluffed the pillows and stretched out on it to test its comfort. Umm…really cozy…
When my son […]
Wonder fruit
Papaya. My whole family is hooked on it.
A friend of mine who has been a vegetarian for three years now, shared with me the wonders of papaya. He said it is the best cleansing fruit for the body and is rich with Vitamin C and A. It helps eliminate harmful wastes and improves digestion of food.
I took his […]

Friday the 13th
It is now 10:30 a.m. as i post this blog. It is a beautiful morning.. though it is Friday the 13th…
I wonder, as I sip from my coffee mug… why do people fuss so much about Friday the 13th…
When I was in college, I had this unforgettable experience about this dreaded day. I was on my second year […]
