Happy Christmas!

12.24.2013 by Leah //

As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let us not forget that the most important part about Christmas is the first six letters - CHRIST.   Merry Christmas from our family to yours! ... READ MORE

Of Maxie (The Musicale)

12.19.2013 by Leah //

Two (2) Saturdays ago, AJ and I watched the matinee of Maxie (The Musicale) at the PETA Theater in New Manila, Quezon City. The musicale is an adaptation of the 2005 award-winning coming-of-age movie, "Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros",  about a gay teen who is torn between his love for a young cop and his loyalty to his family. I am a big fan of this film (and ... READ MORE

An Orange Christmas at Rockwell Powerplant

12.12.2013 by Leah //

Just when I thought that Rockwell Powerplant Mall in Makati will again shine in red and sparkling gold garlands this holiday season (just like it did in 2011 and 2012), it surprised me with a totally new color theme this year: Orange! Rockwell Powerplant's Christmas Tree.  Always a sight to behold. The garlands, as seen up close: Notice that they used ... READ MORE

Baguio in a Jiffy

11.25.2013 by Leah //

Work took me to the City of Pines last week.  Oh, how I always look forward to visiting Baguio, because of the weather. Our engagement there was scheduled on a Tuesday, so we all left the office Monday afternoon, arrived in Baguio at half-past 9 in the evening, then went home the following day (Tuesday) after lunch.   I think mas mahaba pa ang traveling time namin kaysa sa ...

Hope After Haiyan {43 Lucy Designs}

11.22.2013 by Leah //

I recently purchased this Hope After Haiyan digital file from 43 Lucy Designs for only $10.00, which I plan to give as Christmas gift to an office colleague whom I know was very much pained with what happened in the Visayas.  I had just printed it today (using a laser printer) and will buy the matching picture frame this weekend. About 'Hope After Haiyan' (by 43 Lucy ... READ MORE

Help flows into a flood of love despite multiple calamities

11.12.2013 by Leah //

Note:  I am posting this PR material I received from Absolute Pure Distilled Drinking Water because it is attuned to the ongoing relief efforts for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan). There is a public service announcement at the end of this PR which, I think, is important for us to know. ******************************************* The ... READ MORE

Wallet-friendly Halloween Decors

10.25.2013 by Leah //

Halloween's just a few days away, so I and my office colleagues made use of our afternoon break today to decorate our workplace with happy (as opposed to scary) Halloween decors. We got our Halloween decors at Anding's Toy Shop (Tabora Branch). If only this toy shop is not housed in a really old building with no viable emergency exits, I'd have loved to stay longer and ...

Calling for the Filipinos’ Waterproof Spirit

08.21.2013 by Leah //

I made this blog entry exactly in August last year in the aftermath of "The Wrath of the Monsoon". It seems that weather disturbances like these are now part of the cycle and this year, unfortunately, it happened again. Taking the same precautions I did last year, I chose to stay at home in the past 2 days instead of braving the floodwater to get to work.  But I'm ... READ MORE
