Sentimental Over the Laundry

Kate C. posted an article on - Apr 14, 2011, 6:24 am
If there's one thing Nelson and I have in common, it's that we both have the tendency to be attached to certain things that connote pleasant and irreplaceable memories. So when the very first washing machine we ever bought as husband and wife began showing signs of ageing a few weeks ago and almost ...

The First Lost Tooth

Kate C. posted an article on - Mar 17, 2011, 8:17 am
Zakei was initially in denial. As a good 5-year-old kid who regularly brushes her teeth twice a day, the loose tooth came as a big shock to her. She cried when she realized it was just one of those things she couldn't mend with a glue (although she did attempt to do it with Elmer's).  Then came the...

The Best Kare-Kare So Far

Kate C. posted an article on - Feb 7, 2011, 1:15 am
Sunday is 'Get Physical Day.' We're really into exercising together as a family. We either jog or walk around wherever our feet would take us. Sometimes even my mom comes along. The Marikina Sports Plaza is one of our favorite destinations where we sweat all of the previous week's stress off. You ca...

Phone Talk!

Kate C. posted an article on - Feb 4, 2011, 1:54 am
As frivolous as it may seem, most Filipinos are crazy for mobile phones. And I'd be a hypocrite if I say I'm not one of them. I love checking out shops to see the latest models and saving up for whatever catches my fancy. It's not an obsession, I just happen to marvel at technology and it's fast-pac...

He Must Be So Overwhelmed!

Kate C. posted an article on - Jan 9, 2011, 11:42 pm
The best surprises are the ones that come from God. Just a week ago, Ted Williams was a 53-year-old homeless soul in Colombus, Ohio, whose life was immensely disheveled by drugs and alcohol. Before the nasty vices got the better of him, he had a good job, a family, and a home. Consequently he lost e...

Mr. Cancio's High School Reunion

Kate C. posted an article on - Dec 7, 2010, 9:35 pm
Nelson reunited with his high school gang at the zany Quezon City High School (Q.C.H.S.) Batch '96 Christmas Party held at Ten 02 Bar. The well-trodden venue is owned and operated by none other than popular '90's ska icon Myra "Skarlet" Ruaro of Put3ska. Reunions are fun because almost everyone does...

Tuesday Photo Flashback

My mom, Arlette, and her older brother, Tito Richard, sometime before the 1960's. Mama is such a little darling in this photograph! I was browsing through hundreds of old pictures, came across this one, and thought it's too adorable to get stuck on drive (D:). I just had to make up an excuse to pos...

The Girl Crush: Got One?

Kate C. posted an article on - Nov 25, 2010, 3:40 am
WARNING: I'm not a lesbian (although I love gays). I admit I used to wonder if finding a person of the same sex attractive connotes a hint of homosexuality. Yes, our very own conservative Philippine culture dictates that liking which involves physical attraction must lead to wooing (hmmm... do the k...

While checking out a bulletin board at the office of Sacred Heart Parish in Quezon City on Eid'l Adha (Feast of Sacrifice), a poster caught my eyes: This cat's owner must have bouts of depression at the moment. I have a ridiculously soft spot for felines. In fact, when I was still living with my ren...

They're Starting to Annoy Me

Kate C. posted an article on - Oct 28, 2010, 2:17 am
Cerulean is my favorite shade of blue -- and, yeah, the current and past templates have been a dead give away. There's always something azure. That's why as soon as I laid eyes on this tank top at some hidden thrift shop a couple of months back, I instantly fell in love with it. I haven't worn it, ...

I follow GMA News on Facebook, and this particular status at around 2 p.m. made me giggle. It's one of those days when it's actually cool to botch up a little. As the cliche goes: everybody makes mistakes. Too bad I missed the post they were referring to. Love ko 'to! =)

Six years. Some people would consider lasting more than half a decade a milestone. I say it has just begun.

Life has dramatically changed. For someone who couldn't live without regular long walks and sightseeing, you could say this 3-week-old bed rest might as well start to kill me.

Aside from the Liberal Party and its staunch supporters, the rest of the country languidly celebrated the 24th anniversary of the EDSA Revolution a week ago. I can't really blame the weary public for exhibiting an obvious lack of enthusiasm when we were supposed to commemorate the day the Philippine...

She Let Me Break the Rules

The Simpsons overdo it, though. When I was growing up, my parents prohibited us from talking back when an adult, or anybody who's at least 10 years older reprimanded us each time they saw fit. Filipinos see it as an act of respect when a kid shuts his mouth in the face of intolerable criticism by an...
