Lola’s boy

My conscience has been bothering me for days already after my mother called my attention about how I handle my baby boy who’s turning one-year old in a few days. I’ve heard several similar stories in the past how grandparents tend to spoil their grandchildren. Back then, that to me was pure speculation; not until [...]

ABS-CBN: Confusing media

I was watching prime time news last night and this might be one of this week’s top news – the Ted Failon issue. This is shocking as any other news delivered by ABS-CBN. I was never a fan of Ted Failon, but what I find sad and sickening about this story is the confusing message [...]

BMX day

My mind is stalling. Time I guess has slowed down a lot today, that right now I can’t think of anything to blog. I already had my siesta which if according to the four mind states I should already be having some sort of creativity brewing within my gray matter after having the alpha [...]

The Fat and the Furious

Where can you find a driving condition such as this? Racing with 4 other cars. Helmet and Seat belt not required. Infant in front of the car. Fear not, safe driving advocates. This was taken inside an arcade in Robinson’s Bacolod. Here’s my son, more focused than I am, at the other 3 cars in [...]

House jump

Bacolod. Black Saturday. Everyone’s out but us. And there’s not much to do after my morning jog, some house hold chores (inc. fixing the pig pen) and having breakfast. Marcus felt bored. Wifey was playing with the camera. I’m online – and wondering if I have to blog once more about Bacolod’s garbage problem. Not [...]

Jogging in Bacolod

I have come to realize that I haven’t seen or lived at any place that seems better than Bacolod when it comes to jogging or biking. Let me prove that. During my first years in Manila, I lived somewhere in Alabang. The village where I stayed has only four main roads. One will [...]

Guilt-free traffic

Bacolod – Just got back home from a crazy early morning traffic jam. The lane was packed – if I can recall it right there were six lanes one way. Others in front of me were moving slow. On my left and right were drivers just merrily chatting with the other drivers of the nearby vehicles – [...]

Be a pro-earth Christian this Holy Week

I don’t know how to react exactly to last night’s news. The TV patrol reporter introduced the news, “…dagdag pasanin na naman sa mga deboto (additional burden again to the devoutees)…”; at that point I was expecting to hear something really bad. To my surprise, the well-emphasized “pasanin”was just about a Php 20 (less than [...]

A domestic flight like no other

Ho hum! I’m still trying or just about to recover from yesterday’s flight. I won’t call it jet lag, firstly, because others would argue that there isn’t such thing; secondly, it’s because we didn’t cross a continent or so. After all, it was just a flight coming from Manila to Bacolod. No big deal, [...]

Of writers,national pride, and the environment

Sorry if I’ll write one more on this but I really can’t get enough of the Chip Tsao issue or at least relate some things to it. So out of curiosity yesterday I asked my wife to get me a copy of the Philippine Star on her way home from work. My main purpose? [...]
