Post image for A walking tour with Atty. Trixie Cruz Angeles in Quiapo

From Agrifina Circle, the walking tour with Atty. Trixie Cruz Angeles continued in Quiapo. This time around, we really walked! It’s bad enough that I had this very lousy and cheap camera (read: start your donation to my project: new camera!), but also, I was running out of battery. So, suffer with me with these [...]

Thumbnail image for My job hunting that took me to Manila

After losing my job in New Orleans, I started sending tons of application letters everyday. Yes, as in 8 days a week. That bad. I remember I used up the allowed space limit on Gmail.

October 21, 2009

Image via Wikipedia I have a confession to make. Opo, kuya, ate. Isang pagtatapat mga ka-barrio. Hindi ito tungkol sa aking pagkatao dahil matagal ko nag ipinagtapat sa inyo na hindi ako isang tao. Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam, isa po akong “diyosa”. Hahaha! Charing lang. Seriously (kunwari), mahirap man itong sasabihin ko ay kailangan [...]

October 17, 2007

It’s fall again. Mausok masyado sa labas, foggy ever. The temperature changes drastically. Parang yong ex ko. Minsan malambing then after that nagliliparan ang mga kutsilto. Parang blog ko na rin. Minsan seryoso, minsan biglang whatever chuvalais. Medyo kalma ang blogging world ngayon. Everybody is sorta waiting for another desperate malu. In attack position baga. [...]
