I’m Glad I Did

I have mentioned before that taking up a degree in Mechanical Engineering was my first option. When I was still a little girl, my father was working at a local chemical plant while trying to finish his Mechanical Engineering degree. I saw him working on his school projects and from my point of […]

When I was still in grade school, I sometimes overhear conversations between my parents and their visitors. There were times when someone offered them to get a term life insurance. But upon hearing those words, they would be appalled and treat the topic as a taboo. My parents weren’t the only ones […]

I finally went home to the Philippines a few weeks ago and got to spend some time with my now 3-year old daughter. I did my best to spend quality times with her - making a play house from paper, making paper dolls, acting as her make-up and fashion model, playing hide and seek, […]

When I was still a little girl we needed a fence installation for privacy and to keep all those stray chickens and pigs from our little garden. A bamboo fence was more than enough until cases of theft started to increase. Peeping toms and undies thief made the matters worse. Now, there are […]

Encounter #1:
I’ve been impressed but humbled by the blind people here in Japan. They go to work, race you to the train stations, and they’re all alone! But despite having those walking sticks and those yellow protruding road guides, I believe that they get through each day with the help of other people. And I’m […]
Photohunt: Hanging

Lots of something hanging at the subway train station in Shin-Osaka. This is a bit blurry because I didn’t stop long enough to take the picture.

Bondying (The Little Big Boy) is a movie from the Philippines that depicted the story of a big guy who was still treated like a baby by his grandmother. The result? He was very immature and he behaved like a two year-old boy. This film was released in 1989. I was nine years old […]

I came across a video in YouTube about Isabelle Caro, a woman suffering from anorexia. The video was very shocking that I had to read more about this problem. What cause this widely spreading disorder? It could be biological, psychological, family and social pressures.
How about diet pills? Do they also somewhat lead […]

I came across NiqueHappy.com, a very interesting website and found these tips for us, ladies, on how to pamper ourselves. Let’s see if we’re already treating ourselves as we ought to…
1. Pamper yourself with a nice sparkling bubble bath with candles.
This is really effective at relieving stress, but our tub still needs […]

My friend, Fortuitous Faery of Writings on the Wall, invited me to join PostCrossing, sort of a community where you can send and receive postcards to and from other members from random places in the world. I’ve been a member for more than 2 months and so far, I’ve sent 10 postcards and received […]

I came here 2 years ago with one-year work visa. So I had to go to the immigration office last year and was again given a year extension. It was about to expire so I paid the immigration office a visit two weeks ago.
My Filipino colleagues were given a 3-year work visa after […]
Fighting Acne
Posted on July 21, 2008 - Filed Under Health | 2 Comments
Both of my parents had acne problems when they were in their teens, and so do my siblings and I. In my case, it’s definitely not because I lack hygiene. Anyway, my acne problem was worst when I was in college. I hated looking at the mirror because my […]

This album has been a favorite since I came across it. I could listen to these songs again and again (Hold On, Release Me, Impulsive, You’re in Love, Reason to Believe, The Dream is Still Alive), but all I had was a cassette tape copy from Florence. An original CD would have […]

I’ve lived in Manila for almost a year and it left me with one impression: I want to have my own condominium unit in Makati! But due to colossal problems that have kept coming, I think this dream is still a bit far-fetched. Should I get a breather from all of these, I’ll definitely […]

I took up Computer Engineering in college, so we had a few electronics and communication courses. Trying to make those circuits work was really fun but I hated calculating frequencies, resistances, capacities, etc. Why am I talking about this now? My cousin happened to ask me about Cat5e Keystone jack […]

I’ve always wanted to rant about Sulpicio Lines but due to the recent Princess of the Stars disaster, I’ve put this entry off a few weeks.
Anyway, I’d just would like to share some of my experiences with Sulpicio Line’s Dipolog Princess (DP). This ferry has been around for as long as I could remember.
Experience #1:
