Friday the 13th (resurrected)

(Photo by Gemnaika) 
IT IS THE BREAK OF DAWN as i post this entry. It is so calm and peaceful all around me, despite the fact that it’s 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 […]

Proud to be a law student

Okay, since I have already spilled the beans and admitted in a previous post that I am enrolled in a law school, I might just talk about it here. Not that I am keeping it a secret, but  sometimes I get the flak about this endeavor from people I know personally. Some say it’s too […]

Waiting for daybreak…

It’s 12:30 midnight. What am I doing here sitting in front of my computer?
Well, I’m going on a daybreak trip to Manila with my brother and sister. Tagging along with me is my daughter, of course, because it’s a Saturday and there are no classes. No problem for us because we might just be leaving […]

Unlocking my closet

Now, now, now. This is what I anticipated - being tagged. LOL!
For the past weeks, I have been moving about from one site to another. Two of my favorite fellow bloggers that I have been visiting often are: Señor Enrique and Niceheart. The first I love to “stalk” not only because of the artistry […]

My rock star son

I would much prefer that he pursued law. He was a debater in college. Political Science and Psychology were his major fields. But alas, music has always been in his heart.
