I know it's been a while. Sorry for the long hiatus! If only blogger has a blackberry app I could update this page every now and then...Guess, I'm too caught up with this smartphone craziness and my new 'mobility' that I could stand not being in front of a pc for weeks. Oh well, I promise to get back to you soonest. I might even dress you up a little bit. Just like old times... Basahin pa

Kimchi and more

From T-bone steak, 1 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

In between bouts of laundry and  The Hills reruns, I managed a thought of kimchi outage in our table for the past weeks (or has it been months'). We sure had our constant supply from my mother-in-law replenished every so often but the last time she returned our huge plastic container, it was not the cabbage kimchi I expected but radish or chonggak kimchi which I cannot stand! I love our regular cabbage or paechu  kimchi which I helped make for the first time last... Basahin pa

Musings

Well, I've been out of the loop for a while. It's not that I've been totally hibernating 'coz I still check this site once in a while or my blogger friends sites for the matter. Maybe I've been spending too much time on Facebook or Twitter reeling on more real-time posts (mostly not mine, though) that blogging may seem as ancient as mIRC trying to connect to a server! It's almost the last quarter of the year...and the most (un)eventful so far. I'm pushing my third year in... Basahin pa

Adventureland

From T-bone steak, 1 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

The 80's wasn't really my coming-of-age decade, but I have undying fascination of the youth culture that sprung out of the era. Blame it on my fanatic observations of my elder cousins, our underaged helpers, John Hughes' teen flicks, and mostly from the pop/punk/new wave music that defined the decade.A recent discovery is the film Adventureland(2009). Set in 1987, about teenagers doing summer jobs at a local amusement park. Typical 80's teen movie elements aren't missed--the nerd virgins, the... Basahin pa

LOVE

From T-bone steak, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

How should I begin...Let's just say Love hits you...at the most unexpected places or time.But I wouldn't also advise to just sit and wait,as the most positive or the frustrated would say.Loving may take courage, a little luck, or loads of prayer.Love had been many things for me...It took me a while to understand,or maybe I still don't after all...All I know is it felt right from the beginning,unpretentious and alive......a breath of fresh air.a HAPPY thought!And I was ready to give it a...

Taga-uma*@Korea

From T-bone steak, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

I remember Genevieve or 'Bevs' during our freshman year in U.P. Visayas (Miagao, Iloilo) as the girl who usually sits in the front row, throwing witty insights with a dose of sarcasm to our professors. In her petite but strong-willed frame, and proud Kinaray-a (from Antique) accent, we knew she was deemed for bigger things. Little did we know that it would all come too soon for her.Genevieve L. Asenjo is perhaps the most celebrated alumna of our class in the Humanities. She earned her first Don... Basahin pa

Hyewha on a Sunday

From T-bone steak, 2 years ago, Read 9 times. Katulad na Artikulo

Hyewha-dong is the Pinoys' "melting pot" in Seoul. Never could one imagine a crowd of Filipinos in all forms and sizes, in mother tongues so diversed, could assemble in one little 'Bayan' --not even in Quiapo nor Divisoria.The Hyewha Catholic Church serves as the Pinoys' comfort zone on a Sunday. Tagalog mass is conducted at 1:30pm. For somebody like me who would usually take hearing mass for granted, I was moved by the simple "Alleluia" being sang in Filipino. Kudos to the awesome Pinoy...

Dae Jang Geum Theme Park

From T-bone steak, 2 years ago, Read 2 times. Katulad na Artikulo

And so we were bored on a scorching Sunday afternoon. How redundant can it get' Husband and I decided to take a little tour not very far from where he lives. And guess what was there all along' The Dae Jang Geum Theme Park! Yes, the site of the famous drama Dae Jang Geum or "Jewel in the Palace".We were two strangers trying to 'acquaint' ourselves with this quaint theme park. Me, perhaps being the only Filipino who has not seen the drama, and him enjoying his first visit after almost 15 years.... Basahin pa

Tita Cory

From T-bone steak, 2 years ago, Read 0 times. Katulad na Artikulo

The tearful Philippine skies were almost like a prelude to the Filipinos mourning over Cory Aquino's passing. From the first day of our week-long trip down to the last, the skies were all but gloomy. Our beach front rooms in Boracay were of no use except for viewing the swaying coconut trees. The pool-resort I reserved in Bacolod only served as backdrop to the daily downpour. Nevertheless, the trip was a memorable one for all of us. With some major and minor nuances also meant to be forgotten.... Basahin pa
