Procrastinating Like There's No Tomorrow 14 Dec 2008 | 10:57 pm

I'm not an exception. I have a hundred tasks to do and I don't know where to begin. It's Sunday and I woke up at 9am to have an early start. The early start became 11:30am since I dozed back to dream...

Out of Gotham 1 Nov 2008 | 10:17 pm

The kids were all excited for the much-hyped Halloween party. I'd like to think that I did not give it a lot of thought but I can't deny that I spent close to 500 bucks just to make my 5th grade class...

The Tourist 26 Oct 2008 | 04:27 pm

How to spot a tourist: a map, a camera, a bottle of water, cargo shorts, rubber shoes, big backpack (or worse, a belt bag), possibly loads of shopping bags, overly giddy smiles, and a whiff of designe...

Work It 25 Oct 2008 | 05:47 am

I hate to admit it but the long silence, despite all or any of the reasons, was nothing more than just me hitting the wall. It certainly took me awhile to get back because I was afraid to face the bla...

It Used To Be So Simple Then 29 May 2008 | 01:38 am

I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I lost the rhythm and I might have lost the drive, too. But I’ve been meaning to face the blank page once and for all and I have to say that it took a lot of gut...

Where Was I? 2 Jan 2008 | 09:57 pm

I’m back on the blog. After a very long silence I think it’s about time I let my readers know, if there is anyone left, what happened since I stepped on the plane that took me home. To hell with the u...

Token Pinoy 18 Nov 2007 | 05:17 am

I have never partied with a multi-racial, multi-national, multi-cultural group before so when Nasser invited me to join a bunch of Qatar Living regulars I was a bit hesitant but I knew I would never p...
