Jim Brickman Live at the Eastwood Mall Open Park–an enchanting evening

Twas a night to break away from work, with only Chato keeping me company while she was FB-ing. The 2 boys (Vince and BA have been away for a few days), Pau was in pep training, Mox went to a party, and Alan Jr was having fun watching TV (and it’s exam week, mind you). Why not a night with Jim Brickman I asked Chato, who I was surprised liked his songs. Off to Eastwood City we went—she was impressed, we got in the VIP area, thanks to POC’s media ID (incidentally, watch out for...

pink october

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wasn't going to let this month go by without saying a word. Or two. Not with one being diagnosed every three minutes.  Or one in every seven being diagnosed in a lifetime. Not out to alarm. Just a friendly reminder to set that alarm. Once a month to conduct a breast self-exam AND once a year for a mammogram if you happen to be over 40. Now repeat ...

Atchara

Atchara is an appetizer made from pickled green papaya. Julienned or grated green papaya are placed in airtight containers and soaked for a week in cooked vinegar and sugar mixture with onions, garlic, ginger, pepper corn, and red bell pepper. This is probably the most famous appetizer in the Philippines because every region seems to have their own version. This sweet and sour tasting appetizer is usually served with fried dishes such as fried tapa, longganisa, tocino, and even lechon manok. In...

I adore Adam Lambert!

I am so loving the cover of Adam Lambert's new album called For Your Entertainment (see pic below). Already it is generating some buzz, good and bad, which is great if you are in show business. Of course, it will not please everybody. But for me personally, I think it is great because it puts the idea of difference or diversity right in the middle of things, which is something transpeople do on a daily basis.I hope Adam's new album's cover will spark discussions about gender that some people are...

Why People Worship Money

Money is powerful. Money is generally good (to the one who has it). Money is everywhere (or more accurately, it is recognized almost everywhere). And those with the Money know everything, or at least they know a whole lot more than those without. More importantly, what they know are often things that would point them in the direction of even more Money. Ah, Money. Almost omnipotent, generally omni-benevolent, virtually omni-present, practically omniscient. Money’s ‘omnis’ may have qualifiers,...
