My scheduled traffic court hearing got canceled today apparently due to the current political situation over at Makati City Hall, where the adjudication office is located. It’s too bad because I was really eager to get the whole thing over with. As a side note, Makati Mayor Binay is in a lot of heat, which…

When it rains, it pours. I had a week’s worth of rotten luck with our car, “Puti”. Incident 1: Date: Friday, October 6, 7:00PM. Violation: Blocking the Buendia-Ayala pedestrian lane. End Result: Traffic Violation Ticket plus my driver’s license got confiscated. I have filed a complaint with the Makati City Adjudication Office and a hearing…

The recent typhoon that hit the Philippines last September 29th, dubbed Typhoon “Milenyo”, was a learning experience. It was, to recent memory, one of the worst natural disasters that I have experienced, although it still couldn’t compare to my 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption experience. The weather started out pleasantly on the day the typhoon was…

I finally did it. I officially tendered my resignation yesterday, which takes effect on October 10th. Two months ought to be enough for a good turnover. It’s been a hard decision on my part. WIS is a great company, career-wise, but some things are just more important. Working in Manila means that I’ll be with…

We went to Fernwood Gardens in QC for an ocular visit. And we were amazed by the stunning beauty of the place, especially at night time. With a few soon-to-be-fixed legal quirks looming in the horizon, Conne and I have been kept busy these days. We’ve been scouting around for possible venues for our planned…

I had to stop by the nearest gas station, PTT Clark, to tank up as I headed home from work last night. It was around half past nine. There were two vehicles being serviced so I pulled over to the nearest vacant pump, which was the right in front of one of the cars being…

Man, oh man. I’m 30. Is that old? Most people consider it so. Well, at least most of my peers do. Have I matured? The kid in me says “Hell no!”, but the father in me says “Yes!”. I’ll leave that for people close to me to decide. But one thing’s for certain, I did…

The ongoing FIFA 2006 Soccer World Cup in Germany has brought back good memories of my childhood. Football, or soccer, as most people call the game, is one of my favorite sports. I’ve been hooked on it since I was a kid. When I was in grade school, we used to play it during recess…

Let’s see….. Wow, CJ’s 7 months old today! Yey! He’s growing up really fast. And I could barely keep up with him when he was walker-sprinting. And I’m stuck here in Clark while they get to celebrate and have a good time. I sure wish I could be home today to be with them. 🙁…

Congratulations to the Miami Heat for winning the 2006 NBA Finals! Since both teams are my favorites (along with Phoenix), it doesn’t really matter to me whichever team wins. Although my preference shifted a little bit towards Miami’s way since I wanted its veterans, Payton, Mourning, Williams, Walker, Anderson, and the rest, to finally win…
