I just noticed that I now have 100 followers on Twitter!


Eeeps! I hope I'm keeping them entertained coz there are things I twit about that wouldn't be found here on my blog. If ya know what I mean... wink wink.

Read Janette's update on her Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs project. There's one more week to go!

Well, I just wanna thank you (since you're reading this) for the patience in going through all these content that I keep putting online. Huwag magsawa!

Wika 2007 Blog Writing Contest

Magaling ka ba magsulat sa wikang Filipino? O mas sanay ka magsulat sa wikang Ingles?

Naalala niyo ba yung Fita commercial na "Fairy"? Yung kalahating pulang sports car? O yung Fita commercial na "Bespren"? Ang tanyag na manunulat nun, si Bryan Supan Siy, ay ang aking punong patnugot at matalik na kaibigan noon sa DLSU. At siya ang nagturo, pumilit, sa akin matutong magsulat sa wikang Filipino.



At naalala niyo ba yung commercial ni Piolo Pascual at Tony Gonzaga? Yung, "Magpakatotoo ka sister. I love you Piolooooooo!" Best friend ko po, si Tappy, ang lumikha noon.

Hindi man ako nagsusulat na sa wikang Filipino - dahil mas gamay ko magsulat sa Ingles at pansinin, nagsusulat ako kung paano ako magsalita - isa itong bagay na gusto kong pagpraktisan paminsan-minsan. Abangan na lang lamang sa mga susunod na linggo kung ano ang tinutukoy ko. Hehe.

So! Hoy Pinoy! Pinay! Mga kapatiiiid!!! Sumali na sa Wika 2007 Blog Writing Contest!

At siyempre, huwag kalimutan sumali sa contest din ng SM Hypermarket.

Manalo man o hindi, gamitin ang pagkakataong ito upang ipagmalaki na isa kang Pinoy!

Rain, Rain Go Away

I'm experiencing bloggers block (writers, schwriters block, whatever). Too inspired I guess, heh. Nah.

I've been wanting to blog for the past few days, but I've just been updating my post on Taste Asia - over 70 posts as of now! Wow!

Anyway, so much stuff on my mind right now and just let me ramble on...

1. SM Hypermarket Blog Writing Contest

I have to admit, I'm a SM kid. I'm also "Laking National Bookstore". And if I were to join the contest I have a lot of great experiences I'd share about SM Hypermarket and how it has absolutely provided for all the birthday parties I've held for Miguel in the last five years or so. Sigh, so much for winning that trip to Kuala Lumpur! I could've visited my colleague, Hanson, there. Oh well, you should join!

2. SM Hypermarket Cares

Before I left the event last Tuesday evening, Ms. Julie gave me this bag -


She said it's from Mr. Herbert Sy and asked if I knew about the recycling project called "SM Hypermarket Cares". I did notice the bag when I did some grocery shopping for Miguel's snacks and I did wonder what it was for. Anyway, it's basically where you get a free recyclable bag for every PhP500 worth of purchases and then whenever you use it when you go grocery shopping, you'll get extra points in your SM Advantage card. I think this project's very helpful! I just hope my Mom remembers to bring the bag whenever she does her groceries.

3. Cafe Las Paellas, BF Homes

My second Mom, Titay (my Mom's sister) insisted that we eat out today. I've been hibernating since Taste Asia and they've been pushing me out the door the past few days. Uh, Mom? Titay? I'm like swamped with work and I was like out of town for a week! I don't think they missed me, heh.

So, after picking up Miguel from school, and my Dad still had a vise-like grip on the door-handle coz I was driving, we proceeded to the resto row in BF Homes and found this charming cafe - Cafe Las Paellas. We were greeted at the door by the waiter in Spanish and since my parents and Tita came from that era where everyone had to know how to speak Spanish, they conversed with the waiter in Spanish. What was funny though, even if you spoke to him in Filipino, he'd answer back in Spanish. I thought it was cute though that he'd answer me with "Si senorita."

The place was cozy. I wasn't that hungry (I'm on auto-diet!), so I just had a few bits and pieces of stuff. Food was okay, nothing great and my Dad's cooking is still waaaay better.



I still have bloggers block and have so much blog backlog... it took me more than 4 hours just to finish this post! Gah!

... mahirap talaga masyadong inspired. Hihihihi.
