It's been raining hard since last Saturday, no thanks to typhoon "Egay" which dumped rains in the Metro until yesterday afternoon. And just when I thought the weather will clear up today because the storm is supposed to have left the country, another episode of strong winds and afternoon showers greeted me on our way home. So I think I will sleep half-soundly tonight if ... READ MORE

AJ and I attended the 50th or golden wedding anniversary celebration of my Tita Baby and Tito Eldie last Saturday in Paranaque.It was a very fun event and one that is filled with live music (a mix of Beatles (mostly!), Elvis and Bee Gees) and games!

You see, my cousin did not have a health card or a personal accident insurance at the time of her accident. She just started work at her office and you know how it is in ... READ MORE
Look Alike
Lately I've been watching more of TV5's evening shows because they have fewer commercials in between.

A Day of Pain and Hope
I'm writing today's post for my cousin, Mae, who is at the hospital right now undergoing a 4-hour operation to repair her right leg.
