Back Then: Baguio City

   Government Association of Certified Public Acountants (GACPA) National Annual Convention held in Baguio City, Philippines last October 2006. One of the few perks I got from working in DENR before.  Aside from the freezing moments, ghost stories, chopsuey overload, ukay-ukay escapades, and sight-seeing, one thing that got stuck in my mind or rather tongue […]

Up Island

   Just two weeks ago, I had a little misunderstanding with my boss. To avoid the tension brewing-up and adding fuel to the fire, I resorted to one of my first loves – reading. When I first came here in Qatar, I brought with me a handful of books to read in case I get […]

Dragon Kingdom

   Of all the many places I want to visit someday, ranking high on my long list is the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Some of you might say, ”Where on earth is Bhutan?”. I’ve long been fascinated with exploring different cultures and seeing the nature’s beauty and it’s all cramped here in this mystical […]

Music to my ears

      I’m not in the mood to write today as my mind is a little preoccupied and murky. I’m hoping my tormenting situation will end in the coming days. I’d rather not talk about it for now ‘coz I abide with saying ”less talk, less mistakes”. While waiting for something positive and corporeal to […]

Pass the biscuits

       This is a forwarded email by my good friend Tita Candy Martinez. The story is something which I can very well relate to right now especially the highlighted ones. Here it is:    When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And […]

Shamcey Supsup, 25, Philippines

      Barely few weeks left and Miss Universe season is about to start. I can’t believe it’s almost a year since Venus Raj rocked Las Vegas and placed 5th overall. Thanks to her major major performance look at where she is now – from a simple lass strutting the rice paddies of Bato, Camarines […]

Kylie: Aphrodite live in London

      This is probably one of the best concert ever staged. Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite world tour is magical and absolutely breathtaking, a true feast for the eyes. The greek myhtology theme of her concert is sOoOo me! Her iconic songs, the out-of-this-world costumes and the jaw-dropping performances make me wanna cry ‘coz I wish I […]
