This past weekend, my social life was in overdrive - and it's not even over yet. Last Tuesday, one of our new staff from Davao flew in to Manila for a training. Her name's Melanie and she's 22, making her the youngest staff in our company. Yup, I've been dethroned. Anyway, she's working under our department (Corporate Communication and Resource Devt.) and she's also temporarily staying at...
It was a battle between Johnny English and The Horrible Bosses. After casting a quick vote, Johnny English won the night. Boy, we were in for a major laugh trip that I hadn't felt in months. Settling for the last full show while munching pop corn, burger, and french fries, I was glad I glomped down all of the food before the trailers...
In life, people come and go. But I'm glad that in this journey, I am able to make great friends. Though we may not see each other as often as we hoped, at least it gives us a reason to have reunions and dates to catch up with each other's lives. The future becomes very exciting. ...

With ages ranging from 2-17, more than one hundred muslim children received toys (Toy Story),...
You have been looking forward for this trip in months. You have arranged your schedule, finished what you had to finish, and prepared yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. And then, just a couple of weeks before the anticipated trip, they suddenly broke out the news to you: You've been cut off from the trip. Suddenly, you're pre-arranged schedule becomes useless, your sleepless...
Here's part 2 of my earlier post, Juggling Media. I mentioned back then that I was able to do 3 of my top To Do favorites last month: travel, write and take pictures. I have shared my Valenzuela experience so now, I will take you somewhere farther north: Pangasinan. Believe it or not, I have never been to Pangasinan. Passed by it, yes,...
Whoa. A whole month with no blog entry? No wonder my few loyal followers started demanding new entries on my FB wall. (Yes, demanding by using excessive exclamation points and letters to prove a point.) I know, I know. Here's the part where I explain my lack of posts.
