Of Birthdays and Techno-upgrading

How addicted are you to technogadgets? I ask because we are - Baggy and I. We ache and pine after the latest gadgets available, be it MP3 players, DVD players, HDTVs, whatever. How often do you go to the electronics store to check out what’s the latest, hitech, hip gadgets available in town? As for […]

Bayan Ko (My Country)

Finally! I was able to extract the video file of Aya’s song, Bayan Ko from my old cellphone. This song was recorded last November 25, 2004. Aya was only 2 years old at that time. As to how she was able to memorize and sing this rather difficult song at such an early age…well, your […]

Ready? One, Two, Three!

New-kid-in-my-blogroll Bill Mitsuru Shimizu tagged me with the 123 meme. For the sake of those who are not familiar with this meme, here are the instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Mark the fifth sentence. Pick up the next three sentences and post. (In other words, post sentence nos. 6-8 on page […]

Ten Things to Do When Stuck in Traffic

We’re baaaaccckkkkkkkkkk!!!
We had so much fun making the first episode of “The K Zone,” we just have to follow it up with another. I’m kinda amazed at how much we have loosened up in this second episode. Maybe it’s the topic. Or maybe we’re really getting the hang of it. You be the […]

Geeks Rush In

Just in time for Valentine’s day, I was amused to find a special report published in Nature, entitled: Scientists in love: When two worlds collide. Inspite of the work I have to do, I found myself dropping everything else, and read this article twice. The reason? Because this article resonates with my own experience - […]

Pounding Rice is Always Fun

Do you remember the song that goes:
Planting rice is never fun
Bent from morn till the end of sun
Cannot stand and cannot sit
Cannot rest for a little bit
This is the English version of the Filipino song, “Magtanim ay Di Biro.” Literally, in English it means, “Planting is no joke.” It tells about how hard it is […]

Here is our initial offering for our new show entitled “The K Zone.” This show’s topic is: Ten Types of Relationships That Won’t Work. Oh yeah, we’re getting into the mood for some Valentine bashing.

My sister and I sound so alike, our mom could NEVER tell who she’s talking to on the phone. […]

Shh…Secrets

Oh no, another meme! Blog pal Rhodora has tagged me to unlock my closet. It took me a while to figure out what to include in my “Infamous 5 Secrets” because the truth is, I am a very secretive person. I don’t know which damning secret to choose, there’s just too many of them, haha. […]

Lost in Translation

Have you ever seen the movie “Lost in Translation”? Although the movie seems to exaggerate certain things about living in Japan, it does offer glimpses of how difficult life could be for someone who doesn’t know the language, not to mention the culture.
There was a time, in Akihabara, when I rode the elevator and was […]

Acid Test

This is one of Aya’s most favorite experiments, maybe because it is really fun to mix liquids and watch them turn into different colors. Nowadays, when I ask her what an “acid” is, she immediately recalls the experiment and tells me, “It’s the one that makes the red cabbage juice turn red!” (Break muna […]
