Hi everybody, this March is the busiest of my days in the office and even at home, what with the soon-to-be transfer of residence, and the books that the company will be marketing this June. Even if I cannot post a blog, i am visiting you in my free time. For now, I would like to ask you to visit this site owned by the hubby, and tell me what you think... I would love to transfer blog residence as well too, something a lot more like this I guess... Blagadaggg!!! Thanks for dropping by his blog. And do feel free to drop comments. sHenG

A Tribute to the Master Rapper

Kaleidosocope World So many faces, so many races Different voices, different choices Some are mad, while others laugh Some live alone with no better half Others grieve while others curse And others mourn behind a big black hearse Some are pure and some half-bred Some are sober and some are wasted Some are rich because of fate and Some are poor with no food on their plate Some stand out while others blend Some are fat and stout while some are thin Some are friends and some are foes Some have some while some have most [chorus] Every color and every hue Is represented by me and you Take a slide in the slope Take a look in the kaleidoscope Spinnin’ round, make it twirl In this kaleidoscope world Some are great and some are few Others lie while some tell the truth Some say poems and some do sing Others sing through their guitar strings Some know it all while some act dumb Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum Some can swim while some will sink And some will find their minds ...

Ulam Craze

My family went to Grab a Crab sometime last month to try their specialty in the house. We were all so excited to try out their foodies goodies and we were able to fill our tummies with a nice fine dining experience. Let me just share to you what we had. Kare-kare Yummy kare-kare, it was so creamy and saucy and the bagoong was also very delicious, I love kare-kare really, just minus the talong and sitaw, teehee. shrimp veggies with green peas This one's a favorite of the kids, it's shrimp with green peas and other veggies. Also contains cashew nuts, yummy. It was not a boring dish, but rather a really exciting dish because of the half-cooked veggies which makes them crunchy. kinilaw The men's favorite, kinilaw. Of course, General Santos is the tuna capital of the country and so this is the course that made the men drool. And this is the favorite of the elderlies, sinigang na tuna. Not so sour, and not so salty, a little bland though but good for the heart because of the les...

The Theory of Familiarity

Image
My judge/professor in Criminal Law once shared to us about the Theory of Familiarity. He said we all have favorites, and we make them our favorites because we are familiar with their characteristics. You are familiar with your own book because it is the same book you always bring to school, open and read, and it is the same book that gives you the sense of ownership because it is yours. Now, in case you left your book at home and you need to read portions of it, your mind will wander and wonder where your book could be, and it usually feels awkward reading portions of the book that is not yours. It is usually awkward and different when you try to borrow and use things. It gives you a different uncomfortable feeling. You always feel relaxed when you have your own things with you. This is true with moving into a new house. In our present shelter, i have been living here for more than 8 years already and it always gives me that familiar feeling of HOME. Even my kids know every corner of o...

I don't know if they are really hammerhead sharks, but many of my friends say these are hammerhead sharks. We have them in a small cemented aquarium cum pond. We have three of them and they have been sharing their glorious lives with us for more than five years. From a fist size to that big a basin to fit, they are really huge now and we are wondering if they could still fit our small aquarium/pond made especially for them. We have plenty of pets with us, I once posted our dogs, and we also have pigeons. We had two hamsters and guinea pigs but they all died just early January because of the unpredictable hot at noon and cold at night weather. We also have hens, but these fishes are the ones who were able to stand with us for a long time, aside from our dogs. This too, is my favorite among our pets. Although I do not have the time to feed them, but I always love to watch them swim to and fro and they erase my weariness every time I peek on them. If Mordsith has her Casper , what is ...

Movies... and a Lot More Movies

Image
The Oscars just went by, and I love the movies they have presented, some of which I have not had the chance to watch yet, but will do soon, very very soon. This post is not a tag, but I just want to share to you the many movies I have loved and will love watching repeatedly. Of different genre, different stars, offering different modes of comfort to the watcher, but I love them all. These are just some on my LOVE list, some of which are movie titles I have already forgotten but when re-played over HBO, I can only stop and stay in front of the TV to finish it off, no matter how busy I am. These movies have captured my heart in a different level for me to be featuring them here, some of you may agree but some may find the movie too low a quality or too sappy to have made me cry or laugh, but hey, to each his own. ;-) So here goes my list, in no particular order. I was in college when I saw this film and this made cry. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day! Whoa, and goosebumps starte...

HOT? or Not?

Image
Lately, I haven't been going out of our house, except when I go to the office, do some errands, or visit the malls. I just don't feel like going out because the HEAT is killing me. It's scorching HOT outside and my migraine is killing me whenever the excruciating HEAT is ON! While it is true that trees give us shade and provide us with what we basically need and that is oxygen , people in the MMDA seem not to notice this fact. I have never been to Manila for a long long time, and I don't know how bad it has come. I can only imagine myself hustling on the walks because of the heavy traffic, and anxious that MMDA will catch me jaywalking even if I'm on the right track. If there's one thing I hate about the MMDA, it has come to this point that they cut trees because of the traffic. They prefer to be giving priority to the widening of roads, because according to them, trees must not be in roads. In Hongkong, recent news is that air pollution is at its worst in that...
