of migraines and vertigo
no matter how much you avoid it, you will get to know how one is feeling or what they are experiencing. especially if you are on FB or twitter of any other social networking tool that allows you to post updates. it is not really that which irritates (or putting it mildly: bothers) me. it is… Continue reading of migraines and vertigo

The Blind Side – A review
it was a particularly lazy saturday for me. was not really keen on going to a jampacked mall and join the melee of bargain hunters. just thinking of finding a parking space made me shudder. a throbbing headache sealed the decision for me. it was home sweet home day. after catching up on sleep, i… Continue reading The Blind Side – A review

the long and short of it
may 2, 2009 was a particularly special event as we all jetted to manila, got dressed and dolled up to witness the culmination of the may and jay lovestory. being close to both sides gave me a good glimpse of how they are a perfect foil for each other's strengths and weaknesses.the courtship, the getting… Continue reading the long and short of it
panatang makabayan
"Panatang makabayan, iniibig ko ang Pilipinas....".This was something we used to recite by heart during flag ceremonies then. Admittedly, it was done by rote but nonetheless, recited by heart.
