Luna Mystica
I am aware that the photo above will not justify how beautiful the moon was last night. Skygazers have surely noticed how extra brilliant and big the moon on January 30, 2010. A blue moon occurs every 2.5 years. The month of January 2010 is extraordinary since blue moon came twice this month – New Year’s Eve and January 30 respectively. CLICK TO READ MORE.

Illiterates
I had thought adult illiterate Filipinos didn’t exist. I was, however, proved wrong. This incident happened around July last year.
While waiting to get my ATM card from a very long wait, I heard an interesting exchange.
Sunda lagi ang instruction, sir, the teller said in a tone that bordered on annoyance. Or maabtan ta ani ugma.
Follow the instructions, sir, or we’ll end up finishing this tomorrow.
Naa biya nay example dira.
The examples are there.
The teller returned the man’s application forms and went out to do some other business. The man meekly accepted the documents and signed whatever the teller marked.
ID number na bay, I said as I noticed that he apparently forgot to read the instructions. Dili na sign-an.
The Winner that Won it ALL
It has been 10 months now since I started this blog. It never crossed my mind that a simple Boy-Kuripot could change peoples’ perspective of joining Promos and Contests. A good example would be one of my readers, Joy Bahia, The Winner that Won it ALL. She was so overwhelmed by the prizes she have won over the past months that she even visited me and gave me goodies from her L.A. trip with her husband. Yep, she won a Trip to L.A. inclusive of airfare and lodging! And to think all she had to do to win that is send an email at NO COST whatsoever in her part. Amazing isn’t it? Aside from that she won a room makeover from Real Living magazine and lots of other cool stuff. Read more about Joy in her multiply journal
