Friday Madness!



Friday Madness!


Friday grips my attention.
Restraining, increasing the tension
In my chest. My mind is already
Dancing away from my body
And skipping with glee down the hallway
Yes, obviously happy it's Friday.


Nov 30 is Bonifacio Day

It's going to be a long weekend - with the November 30 "Bonifacio Day" moved to be celebrated on November 29.  Let's take some time this weekend to stop and remember one of our Nation's heroes, Andres Bonifacio.

Parasailing in Boracay



Parasailing in Boracay


If you've never gone Para-sailing before, Boracay is the perfect place to try it - with the breathtaking view of the island, the wonderful warm breeze and the accommodating crew to assist you, you will surely enjoy the experience. We sure did!
Excited to fly Para-sailing style for the first time!

We were leaving Boracay the next morning and were feeling adventurous enough to try either the "Helmet Diving" or "ParaSailing", and eventually decided on the latter...

My Christmas Tree



Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree


My room in Batangas needed some cheering up for the coming holidays, and so I went and got myself a Christmas Tree. :D

I found just the Christmas tree I needed at Ace Hardware in SM Batangas. It is small enough to not crowd my small room but big enough to cheer it up, plus it's easy to set up - no other connecting parts save for the stand.  Aside from the tree, I also got some blue and silver frosted decorations, and of course, some Christmas lights...

Reunions: 15 Years since "Kiddie School" Part 1




It was the sudden passing of Paul, one of our elementary school batchmates that convinced us to push through with a grand reunion.  He was 28.

Paul is the first boy from the right on the front row.

Someone had posted one of our class pictures on Facebook, tagged everyone and began a riot reminiscing spree. Soon a reunion party was being organized virtually. Paul was one of those who really wanted to have a reunion party.  He was even egging me to help him organize it.  A few weeks after that, we heard news of his passing...

Home, Happiness, and Häagen-Dazs




A House is not a Home



"I am a city boy who works in the province", goes the first line of my blogger profile.  That means on top of the stressful days and nights in the office writing reports and beating deadlines, or working under the scorching heat of the sun especially during plant maintenance shutdowns, I go home to an empty room, have to cook for myself and eat while having a one way conversation with the television. Blah. Bleh. Blah.

Because of this, my weekends have become all the more focused not only on recharging and relaxation, but more importantly, spending quality time with my loved ones. The 2-hour rush home is always a build up of increasing excitement... and the best way arrive Home is with some awesome "pasalubong", of course!

Awesome Pasalubong! Häagen-Dazs Caramel Biscuit & Cream

I don't know anyone in my family who can resist some rich Häagen-Dazs ice cream, so when I heard that there was a new flavor out - Häagen-Dazs Caramel Biscuit & Cream - I just had to get a pint!  My weekend was slowly melting into happiness...
