Hubby came early from work, and we had the chance to go to church together at the Pentecost Church in Loyola Heights. I always like going to church there, as the priests are very dynamic. This time, there was a priest who I did not know, who from the start of the Mass asked, “What [...]

P59 from the goodness of his heart–bigger than mine

Almost late

I woke up at 11:45 am, with just 5 minutes to take a shower, dress up and grab a cab, hair still dripping wet, to catch the 12 noon mass in UP. If nobody can drive me, I always take a cab, following the advice of a Buddhist friend—when you go to church, go [...]

Friday the 13th

Another Friday the 13th…and I have always dreaded the day. I am glad that this year, there is only one Friday the 13th, and that is today, 13 June. Ugh! In 2009 there are three: February, March and November.

I may not be superstitious, but there have been a number of events in my life [...]

Thoughts on Independence Day

BA is kinda worried. Many times in the past few years, the holidays have been moved to either the nearest Friday or Monday so as to give workers a longer weekend. He said, now the young ones will be confused—time will come when they will no longer appreciate what the national holidays are all about. [...]

Digital Photos: What happens to them when I die?

Printed (some faded) Photographs

One evening a few days ago, I found Monica and the rest of the kids having a grand time looking at photographs scattered on the floor—all unsorted out. These were the bag of pictures I remember having brought with me to Beijing in 2000 where I had a 6-month posting. I thought, [...]

Hello GLOBE–Will I look at the circumstance as a glass half full or half empty?

Update: When I woke up at 6 pm on 31 May, I checked and found the P300 credits loaded in my account. I was able to send text message, too, though the “Outbox” was still intact with the unsent text messages. The messages have already become obsolote, so I deleted them. Am glad the circumstance [...]

Ingat–Just What Does It Mean?

I went to Trinoma yesterday afternoon to meet a former office mate who wanted some advice—she has just resigned from her writing and editing job. She said she wanted to concentrate on rearing her small child, and would like to write blogs and conduct parenting workshops as she has a lot to share. Then [...]

Biking at the Quezon Memorial Circle

‘Twas a perfect afternoon. Yesterday, Sunday, the weather was cool—seems like summer must really have been over.

Chato, Alan Jr and I decided to go to Quezon Memorial Circle for our usual bike ride. Compared to other days, there were less people this time, I wondered why ( I heard later that there was a storm, [...]

Prayers for the RCBC Laguna carnage victims and their families

ANNOUNCEMENT: HOLY MASS for the victims and their families at the RCBC Building in Makati at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, 20 May 2008.

Except for a few TV programs, I do not watch television, particularly the local news, nor do I read newspapers. The local news on television and the newspapers are generally sensationalized. [...]

Jun Lozada’s Testimony: Will Sec Romulo Neri stand up please? and BLOGGERS, UNITE!

Not only I, but the whole nation perhaps, except the powers that be, would like Sen Neri to stand up please. On the urging of the Senate—to speak up the truth and nothing but the whole truth (so Help us all, God), Engr Jun Lozada, who has been consistent all the time, is talking some [...]
