“Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn. The most wonderful stuff.” - Dr. Seuss

There’s a silver lining in the corporate cloud.

Sorry for the lack of updates, too many things IRL ((in real life, lest you've forgotten)) were keeping my hands full. Most notably, our bi-annual labor of love: The new Wedding Essentials (July-December 2007) issue is out, and has actually been out for a while now. In case you haven't seen ...

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 ...

Riding around in a Volkswagen van, thinkin’ ’bout the people upside down in Japan

Halloo, Arn and I are back from a brief vacation in Japan ((Obviously we love the place, that's why we keep going back. Add to that the fact that my Papa always invites us over and generously sponsors our trip. :))) with my family. This time we took a Shinkansen ...

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 ...

Really busy…busy, busy…hairdresser on fire

Huh? Is it time for my once-a-month entry already? I hardly even noticed February creep in because I was [see subject heading] ((And I was in 3rd year college when that song was all the rage with the new wave crowd. Do the math if you like.)) with: 1. A website ...

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 ...

No need to hear the music play,

Your eyes say all there is to say The stars can fade and they can shine 'Long as your face is next to mine. I don't need a crowded ball room Everything I need is here If you're with me Next year will be The perfect year. Thank you for making these past three years nothing ...

In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife.

*** May all of you have the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of new years! *** And if you're still stumped about what to give your loved ones this season, why don't you check out Michael's list of Christmas Gift Ideas from Filipino Graphic Designers ((Thank you for the mention, Michael and ...

Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass

There's an excellent feature on pop-up books and artists including paper engineer extraordinaire Robert Sabuda over at Pingmag ((One of my favorite online mags!)). I'm a big fan of his as I've been fascinated with pop-ups ever since I was a little girl. ((It all started when my parents bought ...

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 ...

You made me like it more and more

My husband Arnold's latest graphic novel, Martial Law Babies will finally be out in stores next week. Hope you can check out the fully-packed site which features a synopsis, preview pages, online ordering info (coming soon), and notes by Arn on how he came up with the idea to write ...

Art girl… I-i love you

[caption id="attachment_464" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Sleeping Like A Marble Girl"][/caption] (Thanks to DidipusRex for the beautiful photo!) We had the exhibit opening for Frailty - the all-female exhibit I posted about before - last weekend. Some pics below, [caption id="attachment_433" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Frailty Exhibit Opening"][/caption] ... and there are *tons* more via these links: one ...

Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally -- a cleaner, fresher, more "grown-up" look ((Well I am 36 y.o. after all)). And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout's narrow posting area that I can't get over how roomy this is. :) But what exactly happened, you ...
