Our internet connection has been down since Monday. It did good for my sleep plus I had time for movies, books and most recently, a walking tour. If Deira City is Quezon City, Bur Dubai is Manila. The aimless walk became a historical discovery when I found a reconstructed wall of old Dubai (reminds me…

Yes, we all speak with hesitation once in a while yet no one does it more often and more embarrassingly as King George VI. Unluckily, his job requires him to speak in public, worse yet, in a crowd larger than his own nation – with undisguised stammer. The King’s Speech is a true story written…

Pangalawang balik ko na sa Embahada ng Lebanon. Suya sa init, kabado sa resulta, at bagot sa haba ng pila; nagkamali pa ng numerong napindot sa makinang nagtatakda kung pang-ilan ako sa mahabang linya, nahapo akong napaupo sa isa sa mga de-kutsong asul na silya sa bandang likuran. Luminga-linga, nagsisi ako na di ko nabitbit ang…

A woman’s smile is always a delight to see. I feel like it’s my daily mission to brighten someone’s day. Women, lacking enough supply of serotonin (i.e. happy hormones), should be constantly cheered. This wonderful task is not exclusive for male entertainers but for females alike. Today, I’m glad I was able to pull smiles, even…

George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels were ambitiously serialized by HBO TV in April, 2011. Who’s George R.R. Martin? Is he an heir of the high fantasy guru, J.R.R. Tolkien? Maybe they’re not linked by blood, but both came up with memorable characters, plots, and dialogues that never cease to…

On my birthday last 2009, my best guy friend (now my bf) and I played the game called “hidden desire”. The first thing that came to my mind was… Be able to wear a dress. Sold for 50 dhs (578.305 Php), I grabbed this dress in a boutique I daily pass by but never cared to…

I work with two awesome Pinays at Lilly: Marie Joy and Joan. As event coordinators, these gals were invited to a site visit by Nova, Grand Hyatt Dubai Events Manager. These two tagged me, and their hubbies along. The last time I dined with my co-workers at Sheraton Creek’s Vivaldi resto, no one bothered to…

If I were a word, I don’t wanna have a synonym, Substitutable by any words that seem to look the same, Delenda, growlery, haecceity, surely are irreplaceable, I want to be just like them, words rarely fungible. Love tricks us to believe it’s sticky, constant and for long, But like friendships, they either go on…

Life is meaningless without friends. Social beings like us cannot survive without human interactions. How did you make friends? Have you given it a thought? If you’re the gregarious type, you might just give me a puzzled look, or say, “How? Friendship just happens.“ Nonetheless, for eggheads such as Sheldon Cooper (BBT) and Charlie Eppes…
