It’s a day after Christmas, not to mention five days after the doomsday prediction that never happened, and much to everyone’s elation. The kids are miles away from home, spending their Christmas week off school at their grandpa’s. And much as my online clients are on their own holiday breaks, I had all the time […]
Stay Safe, Everyone!
Getting stuck in the office for two days without fresh clothes to change into wasn’t something I relished. But choosing between the deluge outside, the torrential rains, my flooded apartment and the uncertain fate that awaited me if I braved the equally uncertain circumstances at NLEX to go home to my family in the province, […]
FACFI: Giving Indigent Youth a Fighting Chance at Life
It’s too obvious it’s probably redundant to point it out, but I’ll point it out anyway. For many, all it takes is to look out the window. For others, an incline of the head to the left or right will do just fine. Yes, poverty is a social ill beleaguering the Philippines for ages now. […]
Jessica Sanchez, the RH Bill and Me Thinking
Okay, enough, people. She’s a runner-up, and he won. Let’s not be sore losers. Jessica Sanchez is a brilliant talent in her own right. She’s young, and she’s going to go places. My bet is on that. The RH Bill And speaking of going places, I was watching Boy Abunda’s Bottomline interview with UNPF (United […]
When On The Road, Better Safe Than Sorry
My husband got involved in a vehicle mishap on the morning of New Year’s Day. While driving along a dimly lit section of the McArthur Highway in Tarlac City, an SUV hit him from behind, making his vehicle spin three times. It was very fortunate there were no incoming vehicles in the opposite lane. From […]
The Food You And I Waste
Warning: This may be a little too preachy for your taste. The day before Christmas, my husband and I rushed to a mall for a last-minute Christmas shopping. I wasn’t feeling particularly well the days prior that we had to delay doing the shopping. Just like the two of us, throngs of last-minute shoppers littered […]
Hero Dog Dies To Save Girl
We have a dog. Her name is Jinky. I’ve said that before, I know, but it’s Christmas, I guess you can forgive me for saying so again. She’s a Jack Russell terrier, a pretty little thing. My husband got her a few months after we moved into our new home. Before we decided to tie […]
LBC and JRS Volunteer To Ship Donations For Free
Okay, so I lied. Shortly before this post, at This Christmas, I Wish PAGIBIG Would Send Bills On Time, I said the upcoming post will be about tonsillopharyngitis. But here’s what I came up with – a different topic altogether. No worries though, the tonsillopharyngitis discussion is already on park, and I am going to […]
Remembering The RMS Titanic
In Titanic Revisited, we made a comparison of the real-life characters with the reel characters. This time, we’ll uncover the events surrounding the final moments of the RMS Titanic, as recounted by Discovery Channel. On that fateful day of April 14, 1912, the Titanic had been receiving wireless messages all day, warnings of floating icebergs. […]
Father Al and the Sisters of Mary
Not so long ago, there was this 12-year old kid, fresh from grade school and traveling far from home for the first time. The experience was scary but something she agreed to take on because her own mother assured her it was the right thing to do. As far as her young mind was concerned, […]
