“Why I Will Vote For Noynoy - Winnie Monsod” A Hoax!

5/365 days of blogging. So there was an email circulating recently about an article presumably written by Solita “Mareng Winnie” Monsod on why she will vote for Noynoy. I was supposed to publish it here but I wanted to put a link back to the original article so I looked around the internet. I saw replicates [...]

Rest In Peace, Kenny Rankin (1940 - 2009)

4/365 days of blogging. For you, Kenny. The icon of my youth, the singer whose songs captured my heart and was the soundtrack of memorable relationships. Your music will live on. May it really be Oh, So Peaceful where you are right now…

A New Blog Template

3/365 days of blogging. I made a nice blog template for a friend: She’s a very dear friend of mine and I’ve known her for a long time now. We met each other thru the internet when she and her husband were still in Singapore. And when they first moved to California, I was living there, too, [...]

I Hate Having A Cold

2/365 days of blogging. I hate having a cold. This is one affliction I always suffered from ever since I was a kid. And since I’m a regular “client” of it, I actually know if my cold is just going to be ordinary that would be gone by the end of the day or it’s the [...]

Post Christmas Post: The Christmas Tree

1/365 days of blogging. Since the last entry I have in here was when I was waiting for us to buy a tree, it’s but proper, I think, that I follow up on that entry and show you THE tree. I know… too late, eh? But what the heck, I need to blog about it [...]

When Are The Trees Coming?

I’ve been very busy the past couple of weeks. Christmas is just around the corner and I’m very excited! Hubbie and I are putting up our very first Christmas tree together. And being the obsessive person that I am, I would look at the internet no end on sample designs, how much it will end [...]

My Girls

I’ve been sooooo busy this summer. Since my husband and I got married, this might be the first summer that saw us really enjoying every day of it from beginning to end that it just went by so fast for us. We had a chance to go to Virginia, take a trip down to Florida [...]

Rest In Peace, Tita Cory…

“Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.” - President Corazon C. Aquino (1933 - 2009)

RAKs For A Friend

I made a few RAKs (Random Act of Kindness) for a friend. She’s got four (4) wonderful kids who I simply all adore! They’re very sweet and well-mannered. (Kudos to the mom and dad, of course!) Truth is, I adore all my friends’ kids - no exceptions. As far as I could remember, I cannot imagine [...]

Blogger Template 6 - Vector Coffee

I know… I could’ve given this a better name. I didn’t really know what I was thinking when I was coming up with a name for it. But then again, the colors of this template should more than make up for the lackluster title (hopefully!) If you want to see how the [...]
