Hi! Just logging on to update this blog and to say I’m still alive! I’m one busy busy gal lately, I hope I find the time to compose a more sensible post soon. For now, this is all I’ve got. Meanwhile, read my 140-char (or less) updates on Twitter!

My long wait for my favorite superhero has finally ended! Spidey is back!!! I didn’t get the chance to join the riot in movie theaters on its world premiere yesterday because (1) I get a little claustrophobic when I’m in the middle of a big crowd, (2) my patience tends to fail when I’m part [...]
A few days from now, my parents are coming all the way from Bacolod City to live with me. Finally we’re all gonna be together again. And because of that, I’ve been looking for weeks for an apartment that we could rent, and I just found the perfect one! It’s a little heavy on the [...]
