Good Dinner
I had dinner with my boss and co-workers at the C2 restaurant in Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong. I fell in love with their laing and buko pandan shake. The latter was served in a bamboo-shaped glass. I had to remove the long pandan leaf that was placed there as a garnishing because the first time I tried to take a sip, the tip of the leaf hit my eye. Stupid me. But the food was great and I...
Read More“Sikip” TV Ad
Seldom do I admire a TV commercial, but this one from Camella Homes is truly amazing. I have nothing but praises to whoever thought of it. I wonder who is the copywriter behind this gem.

As I sat and waited, I got to thinking of...

If I have any dream as a writer, it’s to publish a line of children’s story books. All written by myself. I already have two stories although they are not yet polished. I am not aiming along the line of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series because that is already an epic. I don’t want an epic. I want a story that is short that little children will fall in love...
