  • Santa’s little helper

    Wow, can you believe that it’s already December? It means Christmas is just around the corner. We’re about to face another exhausting round of Christmas shopping chores. Hmmmmm, I wonder how long my Christmas list will end up this year. ;-P Here’s a picture of CJ as Santa’s little helper to start the mood right for the…

  • Makati’s bungled coup attempt

    Yesterday was another interesting day in Makati City, highlighted by another bungled ‘coup’ attempt, mutiny, rebellion, standoff, or what-have-you, led by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and Brigadier General Danilo Lim, which was staged at the posh Manila Peninsula hotel. It’s true, the government has lost the support of many Filipinos, mostly induced by the recent spate of scandals, questions…

  • New Philippine passport requirements

    We finally applied for CJ’s passport yesterday, Friday, for our upcoming trip this December, which was, as expected, accompanied by the usual hassles prevalent when applying for or securing any government license, certification or identification document.

  • Wedding bells for my mom

    My mom finally remarried after more than twenty years! She got married yesterday to Daniel Pavan in Jacksonville, FL. I feel sad because we weren’t there to witness the special event. But I feel happy, too, knowing they both love each other. I wish both of them the best. May they love each other and…

  • You win some, you lose some

    My day started off pretty well in spite of the heavy rain. Conne and CJ were in their usual jolly and “malambing” selves. Then, on my way to work, I received some good news on a career opportunity with an offer I found hard to refuse. The timing was impeccable since my renewable monthly consulting contract with…
