Birthday talk

Believe it or not, today is one of the few most memorable birthdays I can recall. There’s something to being born during a holiday that I’ve gotten used to celebrating it with just a few people closest to me. During my elementary days, I’m one of those, if not totally alone, who haven’t had [...]

Is Dasmarinas going to be a city soon?

Did I vote yes? Did I vote no? Go figure… Today, people in Dasmarinas, Cavite flocked to their respective public schools to participate in the plebiscite that will determine if Dasmarinas will finally win its bid for cityhood. If my memory serves me right, more than 10 years ago, I have already seen banners and [...]

Does ethics still matter?

Tonight, I’m preparing for my first day in my Ethics class and I’m yet to read the chapters as required prior to this session. As I read through the course objectives written in the syllabus, I remembered submitting a 2-page reaction paper to my previous professor who was just as opinionated as I am and [...]

Trip to the Manila Ocean Park

Time flies, time flies, time flies…and once more, time flies. So fast that it just occurred to me it’s already been a week ago since we had the pleasure to spend our day out with our ever trustworthy neighbors who tirelessly and patiently watch after Marcus whenever we’re out. What made that day better was [...]

Heroes are also human

The word is out and the news is all over the internet especially the social networking sites where I first learned about it. Today, Efren Peñaflorida was chosen as this year’s CNN’s Hero of the Year among the top10 candidates coming from different parts of the globe. To the delight of Filipinos, CNN’s online [...]

Our first ever Christmas tree

Believe it or not, this is our first Christmas tree since we got married. And if not for our kid, I wouldn’t have even tried making one, more so buy one. I don’t know but I really find it a total waste to acquire one and have it decorated just to be kept right [...]

2012: awed yet not

Question: What is the sum of adding a caffeine-powered and over creative CGI artist with a sleep-deprived, and de-motivated scriptwriter? Answer: 2012. Yes, you read it right. You get the movie, 2012. This is another movie (the other one was Transformer 2) where my wife and I had to leave our little boy [...]

Beds are burning video

I’m currently burning the midnight oil, well at least until another hour from now. And out came from the very low volume setting of my stereo is a familiar song which I think I first heard several years ago when possessing a padded Billboard audio cassette tape is still the “in” thing. Not finding the remote, [...]

The story of Nubs the dog

Can’t help but post this story after I saw it on Conan O’ Brien’s Late Night Show: When Maj. Brian Dennis of the United States Marine Corps met a wild stray dog with shorn ears while serving in Iraq, he had no idea of the bond they would form, leading to seismic changes in both [...]

Busy days and more busy days ahead

Once again, I’m somewhat overwhelmed with what have been going on around me. To start with, our little boy seems to be getting more active and restless each and every day – which may either be a good (entertaining) or bad (frustrating) thing depending on how unpredictable he can get. With regards to school, [...]
