Hello, Confucius

We stayed up late last night to watch the new President of the United States Barack Obama address the throng gathered at Chicago’s Grant Park. What an eloquent, touching and gracious speech from an inspirational leader. What started as a dream has now become a reality and the world, it seems, is ready for a [...]

Mom’s 55th birthday is on the 31st and to celebrate it, we’re planning to throw a Halloween bash. And where better to celebrate a Halloween-themed birthday than in Roxas City. Scary, no?

Just like in 2005, my family and I will be spending the Holy Week in Roxas City because the Good Friday procession is taking the route that passes by our ancestral home. Before, spending the Holy Week in Roxas felt like one big Lenten Sacrifice because of the absence of modern facilities like internet connection, [...]

Marry me a little,
Love me just enough.
Warm and sweet and easy,
Just the simple stuff.

Finals starts on Thursday but I don’t have any exams until Monday next week. So I practically have half of the week off to do some last minute Christmas shopping. There is nothing much on my shopping list but it seems that with every phone call from my mom, something gets added to it. But [...]

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately because Finals Week is coming up and papers are piling up. I’m also worried sick because I’ve missed a lot of quizzes because I was sick for two weeks.
I’ve been out of the hospital for a little over a week now but I’m still having nightmares because [...]

I’ve been thinking of getting a new iPod since my old one crashed on me two months ago. The colorful new iPod Nano is definitely something I’d like to get my hands on but 4gb is not enough for my mp3 collection. The 8gb Nano is just enough for my mp3s but the only color [...]
