Folly Beach: a quick trip to the shore

Post image for Folly Beach: a quick trip to the shore

I like the beach. Heck! Nangi-ngisda kaya ako nun! Haha! Halata ba? Ok. We don’t really call it a “beach”. But one thing I like in Charleston is that, the shore is just a short 30-minute drive. Unlike in Philadelphia na aabutin ka nang limang delubyo before you can get to the shore. Rehoboth Beach [...]

Walang nangyari sa powers ko. Siningil pa rin ako nang $1.78 per piece samantalang $0.99 lang sya sa [...]

Post image for what was your major, major mistake…

~weeps~ (strategy to think) You are making me cry with your question Mr. Baldwin! I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. ~more hikbi~ (more strategy to buy time and think) You see, one of the biggest mistakes I made just recently, in fact, they even dethroned me as Miss Philippines, was not minding the little [...]

(Photo Credits: Here) Today, I could say that the 2nd biggest problem I have is 99% solved. I still have a number of problems to resolve, but so far, getting these two biggies canned is a big relief for me. This time, I can focus on the other ones. I won’t write about it. That’s [...]

(Photo Credits: Here) I’m really beginning to like it here in South Carolina. I’ve been to a couple of developments around and I’ve noticed some pretty nice landscaping around. Man! I miss gardening and landscaping! I still remember when I was back in Philadelphia. I love gardening, planting flowers, mowing, all that. I do it [...]

I was driving around my Charleston neighborhood this Sunday, went farther up Route 526 and ended up in Summerville. That’s about a half an hour drive from where I live. It’s not bad driving since there is no traffic here in this part of South Carolina. Just be careful with these crazy drivers on 526 [...]

In Philadelphia, try ordering a chicken caesar salad and they’ll bring you an acre of veggies and a dozen live chickens. I swear to the gods in lettuce paradise that you’d call the salad cops for you’d fear you’re being drowned in veggies! So I thought, ok, let me try to be a healthy freak [...]

(Photo Credits: Here) I decided to check out Downtown Charleston today which is about 14 miles from where I’m staying or roughly 25 minutes drive. I’ve seen so many videos and pictures and how nice the town was. I thought I’d look for the Battery Park. Can’t miss it, they said. The main road is [...]

When I drove to South Carolina, up there in the Rocky Mountains in North Carolina, the maintenance light on my car’s dashboard lit up. When you’re the only one on the road, gas is like 1/4 full, pitched black, it felt like this: ~!@#$%^&*()~ waaa!~ lumipad ata kaluluwa ko! Hahaha! Dang! I was nervous like [...]

I told you, my boss? really nice. And so the husband and the wife came to my apartment and brought these stuff – it’s not really Ethan Allen or Restoration Hardware like what I prayed to the gods and even offered chicken blood… it’s more like “where is the 72% dining set” ? Yes. It’s [...]

Another drive down south, this will be Take 2. It’s a half-way length from Philadelphia to New Orleans. I wanted to stay overnight in Virginia Beach, but there was a storm forecast. I was afraid to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I’ve experienced crossing that bridge in the past, under heavy rains, winds, and waves [...]
