After three years and a slowly but steadily stagnating blog, it is time for a change in scenery. I’m not totally giving up this space, since this is still prime blogging real estate. I’...
Windows has been completely eliminated from my computing life. Due to certain legalities, IT has switched many of the PCs in the office to Linux (Ubuntu). I was apprehensive at first since it’...
Tintin posted a Facebook shoutout asking anyone to have ice cream with her because of the heat. It was around 4pm and since I knew that she wasn’t busy at work (in Eastwood), I dared her that ...
I’ve always wanted to read the works of the Beat Generation writers, and I started with Jack Kerouac’s On the Road (The Original Scroll). I liked it and became more curious about his fri...
Maybe I should move to a cold or wet country. I’m battling a cold now, which usually happens to me in hot weather. I went to Paris in Winter and I was just fine. I went to Sagada in December...
HIGHlights of yesterday’s Clark and Subic trip: 15th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival That tradition of a skydiver bearing the Philippine flag while the National Anthem is bein...
…in preparation for leaving at midnight and a 2.30am bus departure. But I’m wide awake. Silly me – ate a ton of nachos and dip, washing it down with Coke. Original plan was: Eat a bit ...
I’ve changed the blog’s theme, and with that I will really exert effort to post as regularly as I did before. It’s no secret that I’ve been on a blogging slump for more than ...
I remember a conversion with one of my friends, way back in our teens. She told me that she prays for the man who is meant for her, that God would watch over him and keep him safe and well so that h...
I haven’t been blogging lately. Not that I don’t have anything to say. On the contrary, there are now lots of thoughts and stories that I don’t know where to begin. Not to mention ...
…whether it be in Maguindanao or anywhere else. It’s not a solution to the government’s incompetence and protectionism of cronies. We are not dumb. You cannot convince us of this ...
A few weeks ago, when my friend Tin was in Cebu, I had this dream: I followed to Cebu, then we rode a bus supposedly going somewhere else in the province, but instead ended up at the Boulevard in Du...
Haven’t had one of these lunches in a long while. The kids growing up and going in different directions had a lot to do with it. In fact, most of them are not present here! We jokingl...
It’s late Friday afternoon, my brain is already on weekend mode, so I just took this photo of my desk in its current state. Note the presence of two food items. One I’m eating, the othe...
My new online desktop toy. I love this! Another time-waster, haha! I downloaded it to use for work – really! But of course I had to test it on my accounts first. Seriously now, I’m goi...
Typhoon, flood, exploding transformers and sub-stations, ergo, blackouts… Disaster seems to be raining down Eastern Metro Manila! Just as we’re picking up the pieces from Typhoon Ondoy...
Goldilocks popcorn for breakfast. Will now get off Twitter to get some work done. Have a nice stormy day! 9:54 AM Sep 26th from web@cezhernandez Not yet flooded, thank God. But the water’s just...
We’re ok – after the first floor of our house (in Marikina) got flooded, waist-deep. Will post in detail (including some photos) in the next few days. Still no power. I’m at the off...
I’m currently a neglectful blogger. My blogging time has been eaten up by other things – such as new online drug Twitter and a steadily growing pile of unread books – not counting ...
Your “fiance” already gave way. Please just shut up now. Tsk tsk tsk. People will now be wary everytime you “help” them. You may just throw it in their faces, just like yo...
In the weeks after President Cory Aquino’s funeral, I found myself searching for yellow ribbons still tied around posts all over the city. It was a tiny, if not superficial, way of reassuring ...
On the lighter side naman… A couple of weeks ago, I joined my friend Tin at Eastwood to watch a Bamboo gig. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to one, so I jumped at the chance ...
To all motorists driving in the vicinity of Santolan Road/Project 4/Cubao, beware of the driver of said jeepney. Give him a wide berth on the road. This morning, he figured in an altercation (a mil...
Here’s what’s on my mind right now: Gloria Arroyo will step down from office when her term ends, but she’ll spend the remaining time messing up anything she can get her hands on as...
…from my generation who watched our parents, older brothers and sisters, and cousins fight for freedom alongside your husband and his colleagues; who went to EDSA in 1986, and grew up with you ...
Scenes from everyday MRT commute: (Chubby lady #1 squeezes herself in the last remaining space the size of a postage stamp. She barely fits, yet still pulls her companion inside the train with her.)...
I had a great weekend (Saturday, to be specific). First up was a late lunch at Banapple in Katipunan Avenue (Blue Ridge portion). It’s a hole-in-the-wall bakery/cafe with really great food in...
Fine. Us Pete Sampras fans may now finally have to concede that Roger Federer is the greatest-of-all-time after his French Open win and now his Wimbledon win – his 15th grand slam, surpassing ...
There’s an A(H1N1) case in the office down the hall from ours, so the entire floor is being disinfected today. I’ll be working from home the entire day – the first time in a long w...
The mini-outbreak of the A(H1N1) virus has seen a boom in hand sanitizers all over the Metro. Many companies and office buildings require people to squirt hand sanitizer on their hands before enteri...
