Tatay
This is my father. He is 86 years old. This photo was taken by Marco (in black and white mode) at the family house veranda last Christmas after we all shared the traditional family Christmas breakfast.
The day before Christmas, my Tatay was rushed to the hospital. He had profuse nose bleeding. It was found out […]

How to prepare a fast barbecue
Housewives are usually identified with the kitchen. With the mere mention of the word mother or wife - the picture of a kitchen instantly flashes in the mind.
Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I am not really much of a “kitchen mom”. In our household, the cooking is mostly delegated to the househelp (if there […]
Kris Aquino - that certain glow
Okay, so I admit, I watch Kapamilya Deal or No Deal. So what’s the big deal? (no pun intended… lol)
Well, from watching the show on an almost nightly basis, I have noticed something. Kris Aquino is sporting a certain glow these days. Not that her product endorsement of a papaya soap is working […]
