Tales of the Moonless Sky
It's been more than a month since typhoon Ondoy hit our country and I'd say it's a scarier than any ghost sighting. It's real horror that will likely haunt all those affected for the rest of our lives. On the way to CDO last week I was horrified to see that most of Laguna was still under water.

I've been very busy with work, but life...

Saluting Gloria and Challenging Oil Giants to shut their operations down
Oil companies gave government a threat—repeal Executive Order freezing oil prices in its October 15 prices or face the risk of oil rationing. Some companies, small players, even said that they will shut their operations down because of this executive order.

The same goes to the LPG dealers who continually sabotage…

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).
