Window

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 [...]

Ondoy

Shot from my parents’ room window. We live across the road from a creek. 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.
Help the victims of Typhoon [...]

Zune – Ready for closeup

This is our baby – Zune, ready for closeup.
He’s very affectionate and acts like a real kid. He would welcome anyone who enters our door and would jump up to be touched and even carried. He would run after you too, if you try to leave (not something we approve of though).
He’s turning three in [...]

Hammer!

Isn’t this cute? You always see fire alarm boxes where you need to break the glass but it seems like you need to cut yourself in order to do so. Not for this one:

Find a photo of the box, and know where to see them in real life, through my Fire Alarm post.

Myonal

You have got to be friggin kidding me! My entire post was gone, save the photo and the first line! Argh!
Anyway.
So I was at the neurologist’s clinic on Friday morning – despite another episode of headaches and nausea while I was at work. I had to wait two hours to see him while he saw [...]

You 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 [...]

Street 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 [...]

Mystica

Mystica is a year old black Labrador.  She’s a girl, and she sure looks more like a goon to my dog Zune
My aunt used to play mommy to Mystica, but her care has recently been turned over to my cousin Ton. She has her own big kennel on the other side of the [...]

You Capture: Old Signs

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 [...]

Seafood Lunch 3: Maya Maya

When they ordered Sinigang na Maya Maya, I thought to myself: why not salmon? I love salmon sinigang!
But when I tasted the maya maya dish, I was happy. I forgot all about salmon that afternoon. Haha
Having soup was just the nicest way to round up this seafood meal, oh plus a cold pitcher [...]
