The coin marks the spot!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

One of the little struggles that can end up as a huge frustration is finding where a roll of tape begins. Oh yeah. Tape dispensers are one of the best inventions, but I don’t have one for every roll of tape I have at home. Here’s a little trick I learned from my Aunt.

Use a [...]


Champorado and Co.

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Triple Chocolate Champorado from Max’s. Triple mmm mmm mmm. I had this when I met some Berks friends for breakfast a few weeks ago. While I still dream about this dish, it wasn’t the highlight of that Tuesday’s breakfast. It was meeting one of my long-time blogging friends, Sachiko!

Sachiko was visiting from Japan. While she [...]

Weekend Soiree #31: A game of comment interaction

The game is easy! I will ask a question. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next next person to answer. I am sure you get it!

Look who’s keeping me company

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I’ve got a bunch of toys on my office desk, but this one’s my favorite.

What snacks are in your bag?

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

I try to carry food with me everywhere I go. You never know when you’ll be caught in traffic with a rumbling tummy, or when your kid or friend suddenly goes cranky because of hunger. Snacks to the rescue!
Chocolate melts quickly, especially in this tropical weather. Granola bars go too sticky on me. Bananas turn [...]


What did you think of Breaking Dawn?

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Well, well, well.

Breaking Dawn, the much anticipated fourth book in the Twilight series, was released last weekend.

Litratong Pinoy: Ako

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Mahusay siyang tumugtog ng piano. Kaya naman ako’y nahilig sa musikong klasikal.
Mahilig siyang magbasa. Kaya naman ako’y napamahal sa libro.
Natutuwa siya sa paglikha ng mga kandila. Kaya naman pag brownout, wala akong inaalala na magiging nakakatakot ang dilim. Este, kaya naman ipinagpatuloy ko rin ang sarili kong paglilikha ng mga tula at istorya.
Maayos siyang manamit [...]
