I LOVED it.  Friday night was a night of excellent singing and marvelous dancing, and I've been seriously thinking of watching it again!  Thank you for this part of my Christmas gift! ♥ --- There's something about watching plays/musicals that I find uplifting.  I guess it's that whole experience of being immersed (even for a few hours) into the very essence of creative genius.

September 26, 2009 - Typhoon "Ondoy" (internationally known as "Ketsana") brought the worst (amount of) rainfall to Metro Manila. Roads, highways, streets were impassable due to heavy floods. People were stranded. People were hurt. People were killed. Streams, rivers, lakes, and canals overflowed. Houses were damaged. Cars turned upside-down. Schools were muddied out, and this particular one was

April 24, 2010, the last Saturday of April. We trooped to Tondo, Manila to finally meet the Futkaleros. With bags of toiletries in hand, a pedicab filled with a huge kaldero of arroz caldo from Illustrado (thank you, Bea!), plates of sandwiches, a cooler, and boxes of fruit juice, we braved the scorching Tondo heat and spent the whole morning with a bunch of wonderful and extremely talented

After spending a week in the City of Pines, I'm back and experiencing scorching Manila heat! Oh, the heat. It's giving me a migraine!  So anyway, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Black Saturday were spent in Subic with Paul and his family. On Easter Sunday, Paul and I went up Baguio. While he "worked", I spent the rest of the week going around the city, eating fresh Baguio vegetables and

What a blessing! :) Tuesday - I sent my dad a message saying that the Supreme Court had already released an official statement that results of the bar exam would be out on Friday, the 26th of March. I asked him to pray for me, and in reply he said, "Am always praying for you, Kat." Thursday - I asked Paul what I was supposed to do on Friday while waiting for the results. He said he was gonna

I am dreaming of fine white sand, crystal clear waters, and sunshine (nope, not the kind we get here in smoggy Manila).   All these talks of summer plans, vacays, and getaways are making me dream of summer beach trips. Literally. One of the many lovely things about living in a tropical country, and an archipelago at that, is that there are just so many places to see, visit, and explore.

I woke up early to catch the live telecast ;) It wasn't as spectacular as last year's show, but Steve Martin was funny, and okay, Alec Baldwin, too.   Now, these are just a few of my thoughts while I was watching the show. Sandy Powell won her 3rd Oscar for Best Costume Design  (The Young Victoria) I love her. I wish I can be as stylish, elegant, and fabulous as her in my

I picked up Saturday's paper because a picture on the front page caught my eye--- that image of President Arroyo feeding the giraffes in Calauit Island.  I was just there last November with Paul and two of our friends, and I never knew that the Tagbanuas (one of the oldest known IP's or indigenous peoples group in the country living in Central and Northern Palawan) actually had a claim

I just found out that one of my lomo photos has been chosen as lomo photo of the day, and it's right HERE! What a pleasant surprise! Hooray!!! :) The photo was from my first roll of colored 120mm for my Diana F+. It was shot using the pinhole effect, at the UP Academic Oval during a late afternoon run. Now I'm suddenly missing shooting with the Diana. I should plan a Sunday trip to

After hearing the last few minutes of mass at the Pink Sisters Convent in Tagaytay (we arrived really late coz we, well, I assumed that Saturday mass schedule was the same as Sunday mass schedule), Chai and I went to Antonio's for breakfast. The initial plan was brunch at Bawai's, but after reading a couple of bad reviews, we decided that we dint wanna risk it. We opted for breakfast at

It was one of those episodes I found myself smiling (and laughing) from start to finish. I love Ellen (the show), and I love Ellen (the person). I just love it and her to bits!  Anyway, this 4-year old Chinese little boy was featured today in the show. Oh he's so cute and adorable!   *pinch* *pinch* *pinch*

So finally I finished reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love. I loved it. It’s one book I’m sure I’ll read over and over again. Chai lent it to me more than a year ago, and now that I’m done with it, it’s time to pass it on to Ta. I’m getting my own copy so I can highlight and mark favorite lines. I feel like I’ve become friends with Liz (yes, first name basis) already after my journey

It was my first time to use this new toy. I read the manual (while driving) during crawling traffic from Harbor Square to Roxas Boulevard (with Tata's help :)). The ones I took indoors dint come out nice. My film had low ISO and I dint use the internal flash, which I should have, really. Oh well. Next time. It was FUN, nonetheless ;) *first shot, technically. "ta, look at the fish!"

So Paul and I were in the Supermarket a few weeks ago and we found this interesting pack of instant pho noodles. Because we love pho and we were very curious, Paul got a few packs for himself. I dint get, and I asked him to try it first before I go get some for myself. He did try it a few days after, and he said that it was "okay". The other day, I was at the grocery and remembered to

A lot of things have been said about the Cebu dancing inmates. Tourists, local or otherwise, come by the penitentiary to witness for themselves the phenomenon that they have become. But this has to be their best performance to date. Truly world-class :)

I don't remember the last time I stayed up the whole night (for nothing!). My eyes are so tired, but I can't seem to control this monkey mind. At 6:45 a.m., I went out and got myself breakfast. I was hoping I'll feel sleepy right after eating, but two hours after, I'm still struggling. I'm turning the TV back on. Here's to my nth attempt.

I gave her to Paul as a Christmas gift (and pictures were taken a few days after I brought her to Paul's house). She will be four months old on the 26th. She's so playful... and so makulit! Paul's keeping his fingers crossed that his mom will eventually like her. They haven't had a puppy/dog in the house in a long time so she may need some getting used to. She has been demoted and

I am slowly becoming a fan of Clint Eastwood (as a director). Come to think of it, maybe I am already. I just saw two Clint Eastwood movies back-to-back... ...and then Changeling (again). Now Invictus was surprisingly good. The thing about watching a movie without expectations is you're in for a few pleasant surprises here and there. Ever since I read the poem back in high school, I had
