Last, Saturday, I was invited to attend two remarkable birthday celebrations ? one in the office and one in the gym.The first celebration happened in the morning.

I have a small and simple room back in the Philippines. Compared to my present room here in Brunei, it's only ¼ of the size. However, despite its crowded look because of the piles of books I have, it contains a lot of HUGE memories.My bedroom is the sole witness to my joys, sadness, guilty pleasures, insanity, schizophrenia, depression, sickness, and a lot more of my other unpredictable side. Ito na siguro ang bestriend ko na nakarinig ng lahat ng uri ng statements ko ng hindi pumepreno. After... Basahin pa

Last Saturday night, 26 September 2009, the moment I opened my Facebook, I saw various posts stating Manila is hit by a typhoon Ketsana (Local Name: Ondoy). I worried. Hoping that everything will be okay, that night, I opted not to chat with my family because the internet connection could possibly be affected and so I just offered a prayer and texted my family back in the Philippines. Since our place in Lagro, Quezon City is high enough, I thought, getting it flooded is impossible. Thankfully,... Basahin pa
