SOS in New York

Here’s a chorus of a song way back 1986. See if you can tell what it is:
Don’t stop to ask
Now you’ve found a break to make at last
You’ve got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Did you guess it?
It’s a song called Break Out by the British pop act Swing Out Sister [...]


happy easter!

Yeah, here I am again after a week of silence.  You might think I was on a Holy Week retreat of some sort, but actually I was sick.  Well, you can say it gave me time to reflect but I still miss the church activities back in the Philippines.
Holy Week is a big event for [...]


first birthday

The first birthday of a child is usually a big occasion for most parents. In fact, the baby isn’t even aware what the event is. He or she is oblivious to what’s going on, but for parents, it’s a special day that should be celebrated with family and friends. If you can [...]

You can write your own thoughts on it and personalize it with your family picture or choose ready made greetings and designs. [...]


garden show at Robinson’s

The garden show.
The other night we were at the Robinson’s Mall. When we got out from the department store to the fountain area, I was surprised to see the place transformed into a lush green garden. Apparently there was a garden show. As a plant lover, I couldn’t just pass through without taking a [...]


not yet ready for Christmas

Whoa! Tomorrow is already December! Can you feel the Christmas spirit? While some homes are already decked for the season, ours isn’t yet. Everybody at home is busy with their own concerns that no one seems to be available to put up the Christmas tree and decorate the house with Christmas trimmings. [...]

Two months more to go till Christmas! I can imagine the malls, business establishments and of course houses in PI already adorned with Christmas decors. And of course, the radio stations for sure are already playing over and over Christmas tunes by this time.
Oh well. I am quite excited about the occasion most especially this [...]
