I know that the most-hated people in the Philippines right now are our corrupt government officials, but to an ordinary citizen like me, nothing pushes my buttons harder than the annoying cab drivers here in Metro Manila! Here are the reasons why I HATE hailing a cab: The cab drivers raise the fare just after [...]
To tell you the truth, I still feel really down right now. It’s one of those days again, I reckon. Or maybe this is due to PMS or something (Ewww, I know! Scratch that.) Deej and my dad had heard their share of my I-don’t-want-to-work-anymore rants, and the readers of my last post also had [...]
From the time I wake up in the morning at 7:00 am until I leave the house at 8:00 am, I always have this intense reflective moment in between wherein I think about how different things would be if I’m just working at home. Think of the money I’ll be saving on gas, food, laundry [...]
Yesterday was my cousin Sheena’s kumpil. I was her ninang — and a clueless one at that. Attending this kind of ceremony was a first to me as I’ve never been to a kumpil before. Worse, I absolutely had no idea that according to tradition, the ninang is supposed to treat the whole family out [...]
After months of putting it off, I’m finally releasing the WordPress theme I’m currently using on this blog. I called it “Stargaze” because, uhm, I couldn’t think of any other appropriate word. Plus the name “Nightsky” was taken, so, hehe. If you’re wondering where I put the old downloadable WordPress themes — I’m still working [...]
Hey. I’ve updated the “Forever Autumn” theme. Sorry it took a while, I’ve been really busy. A special thank you to everyone who’s using this theme! :: Download Forever Autumn ::.
Can you imagine how awkward it was for me to shoot this picture? Lol. Because it’s Valentine’s Day, I decided to have my nails and toenails painted bloody red. It’s no biggie, I’ll probably remove it after a day or two. I just happened to pass by a salon yesterday and thought of doing something [...]
Thanks again to blogging, I was able to buy my own Nikon D40 last week. Of course, Riz has a lot to do with it, hehe. Evidently, I don’t know anything about dSLRs, but I’ve been talking to some of my photography-adik friends and reading the manual (*nosebleed*), and guess what? I still pretty much [...]
The Happy Slip Meet and Greet took place last February 7, 2008 at Mag:net Cafe, Bonifacio High Street, Global City. I didn’t forget to post these photos, I just didn’t have the time last week, hehe. Just like Marhgil posted his, here’s my Happy Slip Close Encounter: And of course, I won’t miss out on [...]
That’s “Happy New Year” in Mandarin. Or at least I think it is. Sorry! My Chinese is very bad. I went to a Chinese school for 13 years (pre-school to high school) but I might as well did not, if you know I mean. My Chinese teachers would not be too pleased to hear that [...]
