The night before I flew to Pakistan, I engaged Hanna (+) in an arguement. She didn't wan't me to go. My reputation probably preceded me.. Come to think of it, I was, let's just say i was a Big Flirt. She was afraid that I'd do something stupid. She accompanied me at the airport the next day and was still adamant that I don't go. I had to... It was a business trip. I had to go to that roadshow. Upon checking in... i glanced back at her. She looked at me and I still remember those sad eyes. Then she said.. TRUST! while holding her heart she waived. Today, she reminded me about it. Yes, I have trust issues only because I've been hurt so much already. As I step towards a new phase in my life, i know that this new found relationship should be built around trust. I know i get jealous most of the time, i know i have trust issues. But people have trusted me with their lives and i know i should trust them as well. Thank you Kawawang Kuting for opening...

I was really surprised to learn that Ayala Land or Ayala Corp or Ayala... only committed to provide the structure for the new UPIS. Apparently, the chairs, the lab equipment, the tables, the boards and everything inside it would be shouldered by the University, by the people... Thus we appeal to your kind generosity to help us raise the necessary funds. Please support UPIS Batch 1992's Fundraising Activity.

"Bahala na si Batman!" Enjoy, be Pinoy; Bahala na si Batman By Gilda Cordero-Fernando Inquirer MANILA, Philippines -- Pinoy is what Filipinos call each other, a term of endearment. You're Pinoy from Pilipino just like you're tisoy from mestizo or chinoy from chino. It's a nickname just as Minoy is from Maximo, Ninoy from Benigno, Tinay from Florentina and Kikay from Francisca. But now they're Maxi and Ben and Tintin or Florence and Cheska. You've been called indio, goo-goo, Negro, flip, noypits. Or Filipino, a biscuit that is brown outside and white inside, or a word stricken from the dictionary which means domestic. Ay, lintik! You're Juan de la Cruz or Mang Pandoy. You're common tao, masa, urban poor but also Cecile Licad and Don Jaime, Jose Rizal and Tony Meloto, Shawie and Pacquiao and Nick Joaquin, galing galing. Born June 12, 1896, the Republic of the RP is a Gemini, good at connecting, good at loving-loving, good at texting and interpersona...

Time flies so fast that it's All Saints' Day again... will be travelling to Tuguegarao to pay my respects... Time to visit my one true love... Hanna Lee Cargo July 20, 1975 - Sept. 15, 2008

The last time I went to Olongapo was in 2000. I had the opportunity to re-visit one of my favorite hangout places in Luzon. Just a three and a half hour drive from Manila, in Lower Kalaklan, Olongapo, is Ocean View. A clean beach resort with unique Philippine architecture, landscaped gardens and a long beachfront. Here are some of the photos of the new and improved.. Ocean View Resort Stage and Dining Area 2nd Floor Corridor leading to my room  Am I Real?? hehehe I stayed in this room  Images taken only using a camera phone.. hehehe (Yabang!) 

"What is that reason that makes you go back to school? Why do you have to study? Again.." I get to encounter these same questions every time I meet an old friend, a classmate, a batch mate, a neighbor. Though my mom would always say "Hindi ka na natuto tuto, kailangan mo mag aral ulit", i would just laugh it all away. Truth is, I never wanted to go back to school... Yet.. But circumstances made me pursue something, I thought I'd never do again. But here I am... enrolled.. studying. Last Saturday was my last day for this term. Yeah, I am enrolled for 6 units only. (Heck, at this rate, It'll take me forever to finish this). I thought of getting a second degree, a degree in tourism perhaps, but   of course, friends, advised me to take something else. So decided to take up MBA... oh by the way, did I mention I already have a Masters Degree in Management? Going back, last September 8 was my last day of class for my first semester. All I need now is to wa...
