Street scene, Quiapo, Manila, originally uploaded by ajay1.I haaate this time of year, mainly because because it's the season when colds, cough, diarrhea, flu, pneumonia and so on and so forth affect everyone. More so when sickness descends on my kids and I am transformed into one nervous wreck of a mother.I thought the worst was over when all my three kiddos woke up with sore eyes three weeks ago. Timely intervention ( read: overpriced medicines from the ophthalmologist) made them feel better after a few days and prevented me from going to the office in dark shades a ... Continue Reading...
Of Imelda and Ninoy
After weeks of lying in my underwear drawer, I finally had the energy to watch last Sunday the VCD of Imelda: The Documentary which was given to me by The Madam's ever-loyal publicist, Sol Jose Vanzi.According to Sol, Mrs. Marcos is miffed about certain untruths in the docu which was megged by Ramona S. Diaz. Among these are shots of the Mendiola Massacre which was used in the movie ("it happened during the Cory Administration") and the how the director allegedly tricked the former First Lady into granting the interviews.

They stand for the incredible experiences I've had in life which I ... Continue Reading...

Homebody Saturday
Time was when Saturdays stood for my insecurities and fears. I had to go out.I had to be on the move.I had to be on a date, dine out, party the night away, have coffee with friends...till Sunday morning arrives and I would be wasted. I know I've mellowed and aged like wine when I feel comfortable in routines that will not necessarily land me on the Ms. Popularity List.Suddenly, going out is such a drag and even the thought of spending the day with Ryan Gosling will not budge me from my bed.It has taken me quite a while to realize that being alone does not make me ...
