Trick or Treat?
Going trick or treat is not common in our country. In fact, kids dressing up as ghosts, witches, or monsters and knocking on their neighbors doors were unheard of outside gated subdivisions. Year after year though, more and more communities have embraced the custom. More villages, schools, and offices are now celebrating halloween with trick or treat.
And although I find it a challenge trying to explain to my 4-year old that there are really no monsters, I dressed him up as a bat, his kid brother as tigger (of Winnie the Pooh) and brought them over to collect tons and tons of candy from my generous colleagues.

Tagaytay Vacation
Just got home from a Tagaytay escapade with high school friends. And it is certainly hard to be going home knowing that:
- Seemingly, another hacker trashed my site (tesstermulo.com) and caused it to exceed its bandwidth limit again.
- I’m going to face work and studies again.
Tagaytay is really the place for me. Not so urban and yet not so provincial. I like the weather and that there aren’t that too many people around, but not too few that will make me think I got exiled for doing naughty deeds. Haha. I think I can live in a house like this forever:
Are ORBS ghosts?
MY FORMER INTERNS borrowed my digital camera and had a photo session in the Speakers’ Guest House in Baguio City. It was in July 2006, and their last day in Baguio during their LGU exposure trip so they took turns on shooting each other’s photos for posterity. When they were done, I reviewed what they got, and was surprised to see an orb or two in some of the photos. These are indoor shots and apparently, these are the only indoor shots that have “orbs” in them.
uBlog, iVlog: “Pinoy Vlogging”
Now, in the spirit of celebrating the birth of my new home (thanks BratyFly!), I have whipped up a mini-blogging project for everyone – open for all interested bloggers. This aims to spread the word about the magic of the growing craft of vlogging (video blogging) in the Philippines and to encourage pinoy bloggers to try it out.
And come to think of it, there has not been much about Pinoy Vlogging when you search it in Google. Hope this will be a good start.
Wanna join? Let’s do it!

Jhozel Won’t Mind Won’t She?
I was busy managing the queue today when a friend sent me an email. I LOLed my way until the end of the message and then remembered that Ade posted something like this. Even got death threats, I heard. LOL.
Anyway, I’m sure Jhozel Grace won’t mind me posting these screenshots of her Friendster blog. LOL. (click to view bigger size) Read more here…
The fall of Nescafe coffee
You all know how my husband and I love coffee — we rave about it, we write about it. But today, we were confronted by a question while shopping for groceries…
Is instant coffee really extinct?
Last year, I was very sad to part with my favorite instant coffee – the old flavor of Nescafé Classic. My husband and I really did not like the taste of the modified coffee flavor. To us, it tasted like coffee made from burnt rice. It was so bad for us that we refused to drink it even if we still had a full bottle.
LP 21: Heroes Say Cheese
Two things I’m not. A cook and a hero.
But I’d like to believe I once prepared food for heroes.
The 1980’s was a difficult time for the Philippines. The events culminated on three days in February 1986 in what we know now as the EDSA Revolution. People trooped to the streets to show support. They braved death, persecution and hunger.

All power to the barangays
Political forces are contesting for hegemony in barangays throughout the country. Right now, traditional politicians have the upper hand since they control the economic pie. Didn’t Malacañang distribute cash gifts to allow governors and congressmen to finance the candidacies of their purok leaders?
