Firing squad shot upon arrival Originally uploaded by annalyn. My Rotary Club just spent a great weekend inside the sprawling Subic Bay. It was a Junket masquerading as our Planning Session filled with lotsa food, laughter and camaraderie for everyone. We were like adults on our kindergarten field trip. There was Tio Paeng, the funniest septuagenarian-doctor on the planet; Bob, who was acting like a 13-year old trapped in a 38-year old's body; the Rotarian twins, Joy and Jacqueline; Attorney Jobie who was with his pregnant wife, and our predominantly male officers ...

34 Things I Learned When I was 34
With apologies to Robert Fulghum as well as the Giant Douche and the Turd Sandwich who are slugging it out in the presidential elections.

Of travelling quirks and other wandering tales
Looks familiar? (Drawing by Dindo Llana)Originally uploaded by annalyn. By reason of the fact that thousands more of our countrymen are, or will be, working abroad in search of a better life, Filipinos can very well qualify for the title "most traveling race."There are good and not so good stories about Pinoys in foreign lands but what probably distinguishes us from the rest are our travelling quirks. They say you know it's a Filipino at the international airport when that person is standing next to eight boxes. This person also has carry-on luggage that requires the ... Continue Reading...
