No CommentsKids First
Here’s my nephew AJ being first to be rescued out of their home, at the height of Typhoon Ondoy (international name Ketsana). I am happy that instead of being traumatized by the whole experience, my nephews and nieces actually saw it as an adventure. They were so brave to walk on the roofs, through wooden...

No CommentsWindow
This photo was taken right outside our front door, at 1123 m of September 26. This is the view of my grandfather’s first floor apartment filling up with water. That wasn’t the highest point mind you. I have decided not to write a long post on my blog about our Typhoon Ondoy experience, instead I will...

That lamp post, if you can see it, was supposed to be by the roadside, opposite our place and on the sidewalk by the riprapping along the creek. the foot and vehicle bridges had been completely submerged.

8 CommentsYou Capture: Calamansi Muffin
Though I had a very bad migraine episode this week and I’ve had to skip work (not good because I can’t even blog or FB though I stayed home!), I was super comforted by yummy-ness-in-a-small-package when I finally did go back to the office on Friday. I was supposed to be on fasting mode because...

1 CommentStreet food: Fishballs!
When you speak of street food, you can’t not mention fishballs. They are normally sold through pushcarts along the sidewalk. We have a lot of them around the UP, and each student or anyone part of the community would probably tell you where their favorite fishball stand is. Mine would be the one at Vinzons, just...

This is only my second entry to this wonderful weekly photography meme, the first having been posted at my main blog. Wow, I just checked out that post and it was more than two months ago already! Anyhoo, I was able to take a couple of shots of signages, but I’m not sure if they are...
