Music and Lyrics: First Train Home – Imogen Heap
Category Introduction: Ms B and I decided to start another category, Music and Lyrics (title inspired by the Drew Barrymore/Hugh Grant flick), where we’d post lyrics and/or videos of the songs that sort of speaks of how we feel about the day. Though I have a couple of specific genres I prefer to listen to, [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Luna Park, San Francisco
When we were kids, our parents always took us to eat out and always try new places. There was even a period when we have dined at every restaurant in Tomas Morato in the Philippines, which is a busy strip with food, clubs, salons, etc., that’s always hip and happening. That love for trying new [...]
Blinks: Frozen Milk + Cream + Sugar
photo: Ms C taken: December 2008, Manila, Philippines It’s a tradition we, strangebyday and I, have: to shop for Christmas gifts together before all the holiday party, lunch/dinner or whatever invitations come pouring. In the process, we try out new restaurants in the mall. Five Cows is a semi hole-in-the-wall kind of dining place located [...]
Moving Posts: Older is Wiser
This post was written when one of the most influential and talented personalities in the Philippines, FrancisM, passed away last year. A year ago today, one of the biggest personalities passed away. Michael Jackson, you love him or you hate him, was undeniably talented. One way or another, he gave what he can offer to [...]
The Semi-Birthday Post
I will do an actual birthday post on the weekend, I hope, after a little family gathering plus pasyal in San Francisco. Anyway, this by far is the year that I’ve received the most greetings. They started pouring in last Monday and then the flood began yesterday, already the 23rd in the Philippines, Australia and [...]
Early Stages of Friendship
It’s been a while since I formed a new friendship – not the type that’s a friend of your husband’s, a new coworker forced upon you to get to know, or a new neighbor. Those are too easy. It’s almost like you have no choice. I am talking about something more raw. One that you [...]
Moving Posts: Being a Mom
I thought of reviving my old blog and I ended up reading my old entries. It was January of 2009 that I last updated. It felt longer than that. I did blog so incoherently; I realized that kind of blog writing, err, style is so me. I thought I was reviving it for a specific [...]
An Open Letter to Noynoy
I was going to do a review on one of my favorite restaurants in Quezon City, Philippines, but I came across this open letter by one of my favorite authors, F. Sionil Jose, to the Philippine President-Elect Benigno S. Aquino III. Many of our US readers may not find themselves able to relate to this [...]
Taste Buds: Baked Southwestern Tilapia
Well, because Kam’s contributions are always in this fabulous presentation, I needed to step up my game with my Taste Buds entries aslo LOL! And really, I love taking pictures of food, I just get lazy transferring from an SD card to my computer, so I resort to my camera phone and call it a [...]
The Week with Captain Awesome
Well, it’s nothing grand. The week was filled with ordinary days made extraordinary with non-stop talking since the airport. And he arrived exactly 7 days ago. LOL It’s great to be hearing his husky binata voice and super contagious laughter. I know I miss all of them so so much, but it was when he [...]
Moving Posts: Wise Words from our VP
I posted this last year on my personal blog and it’s always inspirational. We have the best leaders at work – well, more like best executives because where the level is a bit lower, some of the leaders we have are mediocre, as with any other company. This was a message from our former VP [...]
