A few days before New Year a friend invited me to go with them to a private island in Guimaras. I love Guimaras so I tagged along my niece with me and on December 30 off we went to Guimaras.
Isla Miguel in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras is privately owned. My friend happen to know the cousin of the owner who is also with us so we have full access to the …
What makes us tick? What sets us apart from the rest? All about the Philippines and Pinoys here and abroad.
These are the things I go through everyday that makes me who I am. Some profound, others trivial but so much a big part of my life.
The ups and downs of life in the Philippine countryside. Features my travels to the different tourist destinations in the Philippines.
Look who moved in on the little Promdi house last Christmas! The teddy bear hamsters were given to me as a gift by the boyfriend. At first I was not too eager and even faked my excitement in order not to offend him. But these little cuties kinda grow on you and the next thing I know, I’ve already fallen for them.
I don’t know if I’m starting a little zoo …
Twilight fans, celebrate! I may already be late on this news but hey, I had a vacation in a place where there’s no internet connection so forgive me.
Takipsilim, the supposedly Twilight Filipino Version which has caused a lot of Twilight fans to react negatively was indeed a hoax. I personally welcome the news since I don’t like the idea of a Twilight Filipino Version. I’m not even a Twilight fan …
One of the reasons why I was so busy since last month was that I moved in to my new home sweet home. Yes, this promdi is now a proud owner of a brand new house and lot. As the title of this post says, this house was not built by blogging but by my savings from my offline rakets, a small salary loan and a humongous loan with Pag-IBIG …
I know it’s hair raising. A Twilight Filipino Version? What could ABS-CBN be thinking? The rights to do the Twilight tv version Takipsilim was allegedly bought by ABS-CBN for $1 million. They could be banking on the novel and movie’s popularity to be a hit among Filipinos.
I wonder if they can pull it off considering all the negative reactions from Twilight fans. There’s even a website petitioning to stop the …

A New Take on Filipino Folklore Creatures
I think it is the first time that you’ll see mythical creatures from Filipino folklore featured in …
I wonder why we Filipinas often get so hooked up in the thought that we ought to be married before we reach 30. It’s as if there’s a shortage of men. Actually, it’s raining men. It’s the good men who are disappearing fast.
By the time you reach the age 30, most good men your age are either married or they’re gay. And the gay men are also running after the …
It’s not our fault that we were born in the provinces. It’s not our fault too that the national language Filipino is based on the Tagalog language. So please don’t make fun of us if we speak Tagalog with a different accent or pronounce an English word differently from the way Tagalog speakers do.
I once attended a convention with participants coming from different provinces. I was a bit embarrassed when …
A Reuters article said scientists have rediscovered pygmy tarsier in Sulawei Island, Indonesia. Rediscovered? A lot of Filipinos violently reacted and commented on Yahoo! News, including myself. There’s a lot of tarsiers in the Island of Bohol, Philippines. Anybody claiming tarsiers were extinct is out of his mind.
However, we were wrong. The tarsier specie that was found was a totally different one from our Philippine Tarsier. Pygmy tarsier has a …
I watched part of the Senate hearing on Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante last November 13 and I must say I’m hands down to Mr. Bolante. He’s really good at lying and has perfected it to a tee. The gall of the guy to think that Filipinos are stupid.
Bolante, was accused of masterminding the P728-million fertilizer fund scam. Imagine how that money could have helped our farmers if it was used correctly. …
Congratulations to my new colleagues in the profession, the passers of the 2008 Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination. Come to think of it, I graduated Chemical Engineering last 1998 and passed the Chemical Engineering Licensure Examination the same year. That was a decade ago, how time flies.
I enrolled in Chemical Engineering because of a scholarship I received. However, I did not end up working in a manufacturing plant or anything directly …
