I was chatting with a friend from Canada about the ideal house or rather maybe a very nice looking house. I was thinking of a two storey house with high ceilings, big windows, spacious bedrooms and a big bathroom. We had big bathrooms when I was a kid, now we live in a building. Space […]

Nope, they’re not written on your ceiling! I’m running a few posts with paid sponsorship. I’m not getting paid yet, but if and when I do, I hope it covers my hosting fees and a few other bills as well.

My ringtone advocates our local tourism. I point them to the local government-run site that features events and festivities in the different provinces and regions. It looks fun and entertaining, even if it is maintained by a government agency. It covers the whole Philippines and tries to cover each city/region, but some of the links […]
