What Have You

Mathe told me in one of her emails that it’s good that I’m “back from outer space”. She’s probably right. It took a while before I even got into the rhythm to update this blog (more than a month). My last blogging hiatus between May-June was so far the longest in my recollection. I have [...]

One of the most popular tourist destinations in Baguio City is Mines View Park. Although I could say that I’m used to the scenes there, there are certain moments when I just can’t get used to the feeling of being on top of a mountain overlooking some houses below and being close to the clouds.

Baguio City is not only known to many Filipinos as the Summer Capital of the Philippines. In fact, most Pinoys from the North know Baguio City as the Ukay-Ukay Capital of the Philippines. Everywhere you go, it’s almost impossible not to see an Ukay-Ukay store inside a building or along the sidewalks.

I have 4 active web hosting accounts now and sometimes, managing them consumes so much of my time I can’t even update my own sites. Recently in my Virtual Private Server (VPS) account, my site Technology Talks has experienced (and could still be experiencing) a DNS Error (not resolving properly).

Yesterday, Jen took her oath as a professional nurse (finally!) and there were some firsts in the event. For one, it was the first-ever oathtaking ceremony held in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte. Prior to this, all nurses’ oathtaking ceremonies have been conducted in Manila. This obviously saved many parents a huge sum of money. Travel, [...]

First off, I won’t be discussing the psychology of buying here although that would be fun based on personal buying experiences and observations. However, I would like to open up a bit and tell everyone that I’m most of the time an impulsive buyer – someone who won’t have second thoughts especially when buying the [...]

Earth Hour 2009 was a success according to local news in the Philippines. Earth Hour, in my view should be a habit. This is something personal to me because of my early orientation in biotechnology as a young boy in the Philippines. When I was a kid, the “Green Revolution” initiated by then First Lady [...]

Ellaine (aka Lainy) of Lainy’s Musings has been one of the few GFF’s (girlfriend friend, in case you didn’t know) I’ve had since 2007. She’s been one of the best girl pals I’ve had and has shown support to all my blogging endeavors in the past. She’s one very beautiful lady (single, cute eyes, long [...]

Bb. Pilipinas 2009 Grand Coronation Night was held at the Araneta Center. The Philippines now has three Bb. Pilipinas 2009 winners. The Bb. Pilipinas Beauty Pageant is the most prestigious beauty contest in the country. Let’s take a look at a brief history of Bb. Pilipinas or Miss Philippines beauty pageant:

In the Philippines, selling of street foods is common. Despite the fact that there are many hazards of eating street foods like pork barbecue, “adidas” (chicken feet), longganisa, isaw, and others, many Filipinos and foreigners are enjoy eating street foods.

My wife passed the November 2008 Nursing Board Exam and is now a Registered Nurse. The results were made known to us when she received a call from Ms. Precy Cadiz, Dean of the College of Nursing (Northern Christian College of Laoag City).
