Commercialization of Holidays

Today is Father’s Day. But really, do we need to specify a single day just to remind us to better appreciate our dads? If you ask me, it’s just another case of holidays being commercialized for the benefit of the retailers. Just enter a mall on this date and you will be greeted by banners [...]

It’s 2010 Soon

I couldn’t believe how fast time can really fly. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were first laying down the plans for our wedding and now, it’s already a year that has passed. Now we are wed, for three weeks now! A few days from now it will be 2010. The number [...]

It’s Been 7 Months

I can’t believe it has been 7 months since I have updated this blog. Could it be because nothing exciting has been happening into my life these past months that I didn’t even bother to post anything on this personal blog of mine? I sure hope I’m wrong. My main reason is that I have [...]

Tattoo = Bad Guy?

Yesterday, I decided to have a long-needed haircut. At the same time, I wanted to try this barbershop near our house. There’s nothing really outstanding about the place, it’s just that it’s the biggest and seems to be the most complete barbershop in the neighborhood. At P100 per haircut, it should be.

Cents Is NOT The English of Centavos

Mini Reunion at Coffee Bean

Rachiel called us and invited us to a mini reunion at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Trinoma. Hazel was absent (which terribly disappointed me because I miss her) but I had a great time with the guys present. I brought Nhil with me and I believe she was the one who took this shot. [...]

The One With The New Blog Header

I haven’t used Photoshop for almost a year now. Back when I was with Sterling Paper, I used that software in my everyday work as I was then handling six graphic artists and supervising their creative output. Of course I wasn’t near their level of proficiency, but I was able to learn enough to make [...]

The One With The Open Window

When I see an open window I want to… …jump and fly away like Superman …look out and observe life as it happens …imagine a beautiful girl pass by and glance at me …listen to the sweet noise of kids playing patintero, tumbang preso or taguan—something I haven’t seen in a decade …stare at the [...]
