Up to now, it is heart breaking to see the impact of Ondoy’s onslaught on the lives of its victims. Most of them have lost valuable belongings and many have lost their loved ones, unable to save their own lives or in the act of saving someone else’s life. While most survived the catastrophe, they [...]
This is the most devastating weather condition I have been into. The water rose instantly that it did not allow time for the people to evacuate to higher and saffer grounds except their own houses’ rooftops. The onslaught of tropical storm Ondoy (with international name Ketsana) has swept almost the entire Metro Manila, Marikina and [...]
I went to Iglesia ni Cristo Central Temple to pay my final respect to our Executive Minister, Bro. Erano G. Manalo. There was no queue outside of the church and it was easy for me to get through the temple. I almost broke into tears. I was able to shake hands with his grand daughters. [...]

After so many months of taking rainchecks, my close friends and I have finally met up. I dunno if the nature is against this most awaited opportunity for us to catch up on so many things because it rained so hard and it took me and my officemate forever to get a cab from the [...]
Today marks that 111th Philippine Independence Day. While everyone is busy celebrating the holiday either in a patriotic or pleasurable way, I decided to go to work to earn some bucks. Yeah, since I do not have the budget to spend on a holiday spree and I am not allowed to go to crowded places. [...]
I went to DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) in Manila to claim my passport. As I just alit off the jeep, a man asked me where the DFA was. I just pointed it using my lips then went on walking. He said, he thought he’s lost. I was thinking of warning him against fixers but [...]
Last Saturday, I, our house help and my nieces were locked out of our house. Today, I was locked out of my room. I had my things lying in my bed, I was already dressed up, my hair still in hair curlers, I went to the kitchen to grab a bite. As I was returning [...]
