Civilizing Myself 2008-08-10 15:20:46 Let’s face it. In our country, visiting museums is not part of our culture. We don’t bother to go, unless you’re a student and your teacher or professor required you to visit a certain museum in a certain place.
I may be wrong, but most people think that museums are meant solely for the well-off members [...]
Go Dark! 2008-08-07 04:13:28 Who doesn’t love chocolate? Me, I so love, love chocolate! I prefer dark over milk, white and other chocolate varieties. The darker and bitter a chocolate is, the more I love munching it.
A regular intake of dark chocolate is healthy and it has been proven in many studies. When eating chocolate remember that its main [...]
No to Smoking 2008-07-26 10:46:42 Last night two of my colleagues and I covered an event in Katipunan called “One Smoke-Free Night,” a benefit concert for project Brave Kids. It was also an avenue to raise public awareness on the health hazards of cigarette smoking. One of the event’s organizer was FCAP or Framework Convention on tobacco control Alliance Philippines.

Secrets of the Sea 2008-07-22 21:42:36 Mysterious. That is my view of the world underwater; something we do not see regularly or visit often. One needs enough understanding of the sea before embarking on an underwater journey.
The Philippines is part of the so-called Coral Triangle (it is in the center of the center of the Coral Triangle), thus, the country is [...] Read more:Secrets

Olympic Spirit 2008-07-16 23:37:41 I’m sure all of us are excited about the Beijing 2008 Olympic
Games, which will officially open in less than a month(look at the countdown in the sidebar). Wherever we are in the globe, we’d want to take part in this event, right? You must have listened and watched Jackie Chan sing “We Are Ready,” [...]
Nature Tripping in the City 2008-07-14 11:28:57 For most of us living in the city, relaxation would mean an out of town trip. With our fast-paced everyday life, we have no time to stop and smell the flowers or appreciate the little things in our surroundings. Fresh air is a luxury. And family bonding means a trip to the mall.
Unknown to many, [...]
Art Project 2008-07-08 04:02:05 I belong to a family whose members are mostly (humbly speaking) gifted in the arts. I have an aunt who’d been scrap-booking long before scrapbooks became a fad, makes letter cut-outs without using whatever kind of pattern, creates paper mosaics, and does her own greeting cards. As a young man, my dad worked as an [...] Read more:Project
Rediscovering Marikina 2: PDA 2008-08-26 03:12:27 One of crumb trails earliest entries was about a place in Marikina. Among the cities in Metro Manila, Marikina has become one of the most progressive. But what sets it aside from other cities is its cleanliness. The discipline of its citizens is also exceptional. But apart from these, there’s a lot more to discover [...]

The struggle for the passage of the Reproductive Bill (RH) in Congress rages on. The Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (RHAN) through our [...] Read more:Campaign

Tight Times 2008-08-18 13:59:39 In this period of economic instability, we must all learn to be frugal. As adults, we can devise ways to economize, make the most of what we have and spend our hard-earned money on necessary and very important things only. But how about children? How can we make them understand a complicated situation like the [...] Read more:Times
Back to Manila 1: Bagumbayan 2008-09-10 12:47:23 A familiar sight, eh?
When was the last time you were here?
Located at the heart of Manila
, Rizal Park is one of the main attractions of the city. In the Spanish colonial era, it used to be a cleared area aimed to buffer any rebellious acts of the locals against the walled city of [...]

Biksa! 2008-09-04 11:17:47 Filipinos have grown fond of coffee shops. It has become the young generation’s hangout and EB place. Professionals likewise patronize these places; making coffee shops a convenient venue for short business meetings. Some people go for the ambiance and the coffee, of course. That is why, it’s not surprising anymore to see more and more [...]

Been tagged again by Sonnet’s. The rule is to share something about makeup.
I’m not much of a makeup wearer although I do know how to apply it on my face. I’ve learned to do that in high school, wherein sometimes me and my fellow speech choir members had to do our own makeup during competitions. [...] Read more:Tagged

It’s Christmastime in the City 2008-12-02 22:03:01 I love it when December comes. The air is cooler, especially during the night. From my window, I’m greeted every morning with a picturesque view of the mountains, with fogs hanging low. It makes me want to go back to bed, snuggle under the sheets, and steal a few more minutes of sleep.
Ah, the glory [...]
