On the Loose: Downtown SF

On the Loose: Downtown SF

Ooooohhhhh…yesterday was definitely a nondomesticated day. I let the finest inadvertently domesticated diva in me roam free around Downtown San Francisco the entire afternoon. I set a date with my cousin, Patticakes, last week for a shopping day in the city and I am so glad that it materialized. My body is aching all over [...]

Blinks: Boracay Boat Ride

Blinks: Boracay Boat Ride

photo: Ms B taken: January 2010 Sometimes, as we get mesmerized by the beauty of our surroundings, we overlook the simple shabby chic elegance of where we stand. I love this picture. This doesn’t best describe Boracay, of course, because you see nothing of the beaches the island is known for. But the colors of this [...]

The Divorce Force

The Divorce Force

I was born and raised in the Philippines. I do not consider myself completely conservative, but I am also not liberated. I grow up with parents of different religious backgrounds. We heard mass in the Catholic and Methodist churches alternately when I was a kid. Perhaps, it was my dad’s moving to the States that [...]

Shooting for the Moon

I believe I was in high school when I first read this quote: Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll be among the stars. I cannot even remember where I read that. I only know that I memorized it. Memorized it and since then, I have tried to live it. My nature dictates [...]

Of Fan Girls and Twin Souls

Of Fan Girls and Twin Souls

Okay. Today’s blog activity is just too overwhelming that I couldn’t find myself to write decently. I started on something about work, but Ms B IM-ed me about not having posted anything mommy-ish in a while. So, I browsed through some photos of Captain Awesome and Little Princess for inspiration. While doing this, my twin [...]

Le Critique: Book Review: The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho

Le Critique: Book Review: The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho

SPOILER ALERT: I am somewhat describing the plot and will have constant references to different parts of the book. I would say that of all Paulo Coelho books I have read, and I have read a good number of them, The Winner Stands Alone is the closest to the world as we know it. Pilar, [...]

Central Perk Anecdotes: The Worst Small Talk Ever

Yes, yes…just what the world needs. Another freelance writer in a coffee shop. You’d be relieved to know, though, that I am not writing a book. I’m a social media junkie and I do Internet marketing. So, there. This post is short, but I hope the inanity of the anecdote would prove to be substantial. [...]

Taste Buds: Turkey Burger with Gorgonzola Cheese on Focaccia Bread

Taste Buds: Turkey Burger with Gorgonzola Cheese on Focaccia Bread

This was a huge sandwich, but it’s okay because other than the focaccia bread, all the ingredients are pretty light. I think I mentioned on my panini post that we love paninis during the summer. It’s been hot lately, so we have been moving towards the sandwich direction. This was so easy to make. Although [...]

Fidelio

Fidelio

I am posting this excerpt from Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello that I also posted on my now-private old blog some few years ago. I have so many things to say about infidelity, but that would make a thesis (or a mission statement). Obviously, I am against it and I have no respect for [...]

Q: What’s your opinion in legalizing marijuana?

This afternoon’s ride home was a delightful conversation with Chef as we expressed our opinions on the matter. First and foremost, I’m just playing the devil’s advocate here, just a healthy discussion with my husband. Secondly, for scientific and health reasons, I am extremely against drug use. So kids, DO NOT DO DRUGS! HINDI NA [...]

Blinks: Hope

Blinks: Hope

photo: Um post processing: Ms C taken: January 2010, Caleruega, Philippines In the twenty-something years of my life, I have had one too many pitfalls, one too many setbacks, one too many failures. One too many disappointments, one too many heartaches. Yet, you’ll never see me beaten. You’ll see me shaken up and all, but [...]
