Update on Julia

This morning when Julia woke up she was her usual jolly, self.  She even forgot about her “awwie“.  Her fingers still lookterrible and there is still a plastic-like skin covering in her thumb.  The doctor said that we have to cut the skin off, clean the area and apply ointment until it heals.  Other than that [...]

No Reservations in Manila

I have always a fan of travel and food shows.  In fact, I spend almost all of my TV hours (well, except for my usual teleserye notes) watching Nigella Lawson, Jamie oliver, Iron Chef, Barefoot Contessa, even the Asian Food Channel.  Aside from the exciting kitchen action, the mouth watering food preps, I find food [...]

Justice, anyone?

The recent release of Claudio Tehankee has once again weakened my faith in our justice system.  Imagine, letting out a cold blooded murderer who has been sentenced to life imprisonment.  Whatever possessed the President to issue such a clemency? 
I am totally dismayed.  Just the thought of how our Mr. Bad Guy was discreetly released after [...]

Over the past weeks the melamine scare have greatly affected hundreds of households all over the country.  I, for one am not spared from the panic the news brought.  It was really disturbing to know that the very products I give my children may have been exposed or contaminated with this dreadful chemical.

My interest in the elections in the U.S. goes beyond Barack Obama.  Though I keep tabs every now and then, I keep my eye on a popular fixture on the campaign trail: Michelle Obama.  Im glad that she recently made it to the Best Dressed list. I totally agree with the public.  Since I saw [...]
