My son (first-born) developed hives when he was a few months old. He was put on soy milk for a few months before he was put back on cow’s milk. My daughter’s story is more dramatic. She had infantile eczema as well. It was quite bad that she was crying most of the time. She [...]

I recently received an e-mail describing the modi operandi of the top 17 criminal groups in the country and would like to share the information through this blog. I do not mean to present the Philippines as a country where one’s safety can not be guaranteed. The Filipino people are in fact known throughout the [...]

I honestly don’t get to watch TV a lot. If I do get a few minutes of TV time, I try to watch the news to stay abreast of what’s happening around me. I am not fond of showbiz talk shows and noontime shows. Neither do I watch Wowowee. I do not find it entertaining. [...]

I am pretty sure it was a madman we saw in a white sedan a few nights ago. The lunatic was weaving his way through very light traffic at a deadly speed along Commonwealth Avenue. Each time I find myself being in the same space with such a crazy driver, I always wonder why on [...]

I visited Tali Beach for the first time last Wednesday when we went on a typical Filipino family outing. That meant dad, mom, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces all went out together for some rest and recreation. I had not been to Nasugbu in decades. If memory serves me right, my last visit to the [...]

We found ourselves at UP-Ayala Technohub again two nights ago after my two kids woke up at 10.00 pm. We had been to the mall that day and they fell asleep on the way home at around 6 pm. In my family, kids waking up at 10.00 in the evening means they would be Energizer [...]

This video which was shared with me recently shows how crooks make a living by taking advantage of mothers who are busy minding their children. Watch this video which shows a woman adeptly stealing a handbag placed right next to its owner, a mother busily feeding her daughter at the Mcdonald’s Dau branch. I didn’t [...]

I helped make history yesterday when I participated in my country’s first automated elections! The whole nation is now watching intently as the votes are being tabulated. We expect to be getting the final results by the end of the day. What used to take weeks and even months will only take a maximum of [...]

My fingers must have a mind of their own. I only wanted to type the title “Automated Elections” but the keyboard wouldn’t allow me to… I am joking, of course. And I’m sure for many Filipinos, there is nothing funny about this issue AT ALL. The truth is, the whole country is probably enraged if [...]

Apparently. There are those that should be avoided. Should you fail to make the proper distinction, you run the risk of doing your body more harm than good. The ones to be avoided have high levels of PESTICIDE residue in them. Yes, life is tough. Just when you begin to think that you are doing [...]
