Twilight craze

“Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.” (Stephenie Meyer, Twilight Series)

Note: My daughter is spending her summer obsessing over photography and Stephenie […]

Walking the line

“Sanay na sila.” (They’re already used to it.) This was my husband’s comment when I showed him this picture which my son Aypee took with his cam phone while we were driving home this afternoon.
But, jeez… these linemen can really give me the creeps. Just look at the man in this […]

Quote, unquote

Let me share with you some quotations which I found while rummaging through my files in search for my old cases in Labor Law.

” When people see some things as beautiful, other things […]

Dash Media…do i fit in?

Okay, so the natural initial reaction would  be - “Ohhh noooo!” And […]

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 […]

Free-wheelin’

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 […]
