this is an attempt to try and tap the writer in me again. i've been holed up in my head for so long now that the feel of a keyboard or a pen already are alien to my fingers. during my sojourn in the field of food industry, i haven't been able to write due to my uber busy schedule. maybe that was excusable in itself. but this time around there is ( Read more... )

both my granny's survived the second war and now are struggling through battles of their own. my mom's mom is battling a bulimia of sorts while my dad's is coping with an enlarged heart which is suffocating her.  at 90, my granny from my dad is just six years older than my mom's mom.

it's amazing what you could do with just a 5 megapixel digicam. the quality of pictures that can be captured with this low resolution camera really amazed me. just this morning i took some shots of the rising sun behind the canopy of a tree and i was able to produce nice enough photos. i've always wanted to do this ever since but somehow i lacked ( Read more... )

i created a friendster account just because i wanted to be "friends" with a certain someone. (isn't that pathetic?) well, i can always delete the account if i find it bothersome again having one.

i was reviewing my billing statements for '07 and couldn't believe it myself that i've incurred so much for merely texting and doing a few harmless calls every not so often. i did this 'coz i couldn't help myself but wonder how i've been paying way over my msf (read: contemptibly) for the whole year ( Read more... )

i came across the contest rules for the gawad likhaan this year and my heart almost stopped when i read the prizes at stake. my, it really rocked some sense out of me to encounter such prizes for writing. i've always had this notion that literary contests do not compensate well monetarily but i guess there is some amount of justification to this ( Read more... )
