If life is just a stage, let’s put on the best show.

I've been so delinquent in updating that -- I have to admit -- I've forgotten how to do this. And then I remembered that lists are always foolproof. So here are some random things that I've either recently discovered or am currently into that I would like to share with ...

Can you feel it? (Turn up your stereo!)

I have a confession to make: ever since Twitter invaded my life, I've been too lazy to update the normal way. But rather than let this webspace go to waste ((And yes, it's been paid for til the end of the year.)), here's one big fat update coming up. So ...

If you’re cold I’ll tell you it’s just the summer breeze

Since my last entry... * ...PLDT-DSL has gone from bad to worse. Is it just ours or do the lines really fluctuate for one to two hours during off-peak hours? It's been like this for two weeks now. We've reported it 3x but the rep only keeps saying that "they will ...

Brown paper packages tied up with string.

My favorite 2006 "discoveries" in no particular order. Photo swiped from this site. 1. Seafood Gumbo at Gumbo (SM's Mall of Asia and The Block). Yummy -- spicy, chockfull of crawfish, crab meat, shrimp and squid -- and very filling. Even if you only get the petite serving (P175), it's more than ...

And so we’re told this is the golden age

Happy 2007 to all of you :D *** A few scenes from MY December: One of my bestest friends Sheila was in Manila last month so naturally Tips and I dropped everything to meet with her for good ol' lunch and coffee. And then of course there were the family reunions and get-togethers ...

In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife.

And the lights are flashing on your window sill

Hello, I hope you can support the following projects that my Arn recently worked on ((I only played supporting roles in these projects -- you know, scanning, photoshop and layout/FA work. It's really me hubby's show. ;))) . . Cast 10: Issue 10 of the charming Nautilus Comics series that revolves around the ...

A little hug becomes huge instantly.

Like our good pals Sheila and Mike, Arn and I have been going on a nostalgia trip, to the 70s this time. It all started when I gave him The Incredible Hulk ((Sigh, it's a much-delayed reaction but I feel bad knowing that David Banner (Bill Bixby) and Jack Colvin ...

Last year’s troubles are so old fashioned

Halloo, I'm back. This site was down again all weekend so I finally left Affordablehost, my home for five years, for the it - seems - to - me more reliable Axishost. You can read about -- and possibly learn from -- why I did so on this page. *** My Arn ...

This is the album's wraparound sleeve that I designed: In this reality however, the revolutionary team of Uno Magazine invited me to illustrate a piece ...

Hello again, it’s me.

Wow, in four days it will be a year since I last updated this blog! Where did the time go? I don't even know what to write about here anymore. *sheepish grin* There are actually TWO things that prompted me to post an update. 1) A conversation I had with my friend ...

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

Okay, that's not entirely true ((the subject heading, I mean. It's a song lyric like always)) -- a lot has happened since my last update. I've quite forgotten how to write blog posts so allow me to do it in bullets. * My husband Arnold Arre is Powerbooks' Author of ...
