Initially I thought the film was going to be another "Aliens" installation, where non-human life forms set off to carry out the annihilation of poor earth's inhabitants. I was expecting the typical end-all war against the self-destructive mankind (read: The day the earth stood still). But it was a surprisingly different approach to alien existence in relation to life on this planet. More

I found these cute pins at a mall in Ortigas first week of January and decided I should get a few pieces to be used as giveaways for a new year party held at my place early this month. Less than half the invited guests arrived so I'm stuck with a few more "ox' pins to spare. They're crazy cute and super small, I figured I'd post pictures of them here. I thought they'd look cuter wrapped in thin

Laugh and live longer

It's a wrong hour in the morning to still be wide awake. Since I'm tasked with waiting for my eldest (my husband ;-p) to arrive, I decided to dig some photos up so we can all share a laugh. I got these from an email my friend Maryrose sent me some time ago. Enjoy! Lemmeguess... he pays the bills whenever his wife goes shopping . heheheI know a few faces that'll go well with that noose :D~~ I

Best Booze in the Business

2009-01-13T18:00:00.002-08:00

Jan/Feb issue of Entrepreneur Magazine features Patch Caballero and his Booze Mobile BarA cult of sorts is burgeoning in the social drinking scenes of Metro Manila. It is visionary, ultra-creative, and--pardon the pun--increasingly intoxicating. One highly publicized revolution (overdue, in my opinion) is the influential social staple known by many as Booze Mobile Bar. Yes, this would be the

Here's another interesting email I got from my friend M:VODKA - The Magic Elixir1. To remove a bandage without pain, saturate the bandage with vodka. The stuff disolves adhesive.2.

G'night Tree!

2009-01-07T19:54:00.000-08:00

I woke up with a master plan -- photograph my tree and holiday decors that should've been taken down last weekend, post them here and... take...them...down already.Picture taking early in the morning's the easy part. Packing the decors, Christmas lights, and that big black tree... now, that's zero fun. It took me a good week to get Sammy (the house) Christmas-ready and I did that late in December

An Evening in December with Sitti

2008-12-18T03:39:00.000-08:00

Love the Sitti Christmas album! My friends and I overdosed on Christmas hymns last night. It's one thing to listen to the CD and another to watch the songs done live, though. Good thing Sitti went through a lot of interesting costume changes. My friend's officemate described her best: She's easy on the eyes. And ears.Richard Poon was a welcome addition to the program. He & Christian Bautista

The Real Cost of Christmas

2008-12-15T04:17:00.000-08:00

Lifted from this Sunday's sermon at GCFThe most frequent complaint you hear from people around Christmas time is that it had become increasingly too costly. But these costs we associate with the season are nowhere near the real cost of Christ's coming into this world.The Real Cost Of ChristmasTo the main characters of the Christmas story...First, understand how much it cost a young engaged couple

Straight from my hotmail inbox:Thanks Maryrose! A Dog's Purpose (from a 6-year old).Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolf hound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we

Counting Rants

20 days to Christmas. The house is still a sloppy insult to the "zen crib" it once was. The tree isn't up yet, neither are the rest of the decors. They're all still in their dusty boxes. Boxes scattered on the floor. Of the living room. Where they don't belong. There are vintage bikes in the dining area, more boxes of toys near the kitchen. Dirty curtains and sun screens cover the dirtier
