A Love Story in the Berks Cafe’

You would never think it would happen in the world wide web of the internet -  finding love and meaningful relationships. But it happens. You hear about it all the time. People who have never met before stumble into each other online and before you know it, they are offline to the altar.
Several years ago, a group bloggers stumbled into each other and formed a group. We called it Blogkadahan or within the forums, we called it the Berks Cafe’. Just like any relationship, it was tentative at first. Even …

No-Fuss Dinner Recipes

For over a week now, I have been trying the recipes in Delia Hammock’s Lose 10 Pounds in a Month Diet featured in Good Housekeeping. The name of the diet plan prompts one to ask, ‘So, have you lost any pounds yet?’ And that will be beside the point.
The recipes in Ms. Hammock’s diet plan are healthy, quick, easy to prepare and so far, have yet to disappoint my palate. I thought it would be a good idea to share these recipes with everyone.
The first recipe is called Savory Asian …

Dear mouse,
I am not depressed but I spend a lot of time in the internet. Not on sex sites, ( husme, maghihilamos ako ng holy water niyan); not on online gaming sites ( I only play solitaire, dinadaya ko pa) nor on online communities ( I do not even have a Facebook account because I do not have a Face. Bwahaha).
The study conducted by psychologists from Leeds University came into conclusion that people who spend a lot of time surfing the Internet are more likely to show signs …

Nintendo We!

We just bought a Nintendo Wii last weekend.  I know, we’re quite the latecomer because the Wii has been around for the longest time.  But our recent migration to New Zealand has prompted us to prioritise food, clothing and shelter over gaming
I come from a gaming family, however, being born at a time when the Game n Watch became hugely popular, followed by the Nintendos and the PlayStations and the PSPs.  So when food, clothing and shelter has been taken cared of, it’s time for gaming!
Jo-Lo couldn’t be …

Adobo Fried Rice

I don’t know why I never thought of doing this before. I’ve been seeing adobo fried rice on a few of the Pinoy food blogs I frequent and I swore I would do it next time I have some left over adobo. So when I had a small amount of left over pork adobo just sitting in the refrigerator, I knew it was time.
There’s really no recipe for this dish, it’s just a matter of using what you have and putting it together to create a brand new …

Scrap Your Loved Ones!

Valentine’s Day is one of the occassions where one should be inspired to “scrap” pictures of their loved ones.
Now, I don’t mean “scrap” as in abandoning or getting rid of them. It’s actually the opposite of that – it’s more about presenting their pictures as subjects in your scrapbooks or digiscraps. Since scrapbooking is about chronicling an event in your or your loved one’s life, and Valentine’s day is all about your loved ones (not just the romantic kind, mind you), shouldn’t the two things …

Why I am not fond of Valentine’s Day

Different Flowers
A man dies of a heart attack
on Valentine’s Day?
Such an unfathomable conundrum.
While lovers hugged and kissed,
I braced myself and grieved.
As a young maiden opened her card
that came with the flowers,

Then, Now & Tomorrow

“Pasok na!!! Mahamog na!!!”
This was what my eldest brother and I heard after a long day of playing outside on our yard.  My mother would be yelling on the top her lungs to let us know that dinner is ready and we better come inside or else sisipunin kami (or else we’ll get a cold).  If that threat didn’t work, she’d tell us that the kapre would get us.  Then I start thinking of the manananggal.. But that’s a different story.
These thoughts were in my head the other night because my husband and I were sharing …

Black Ice

A most unusual event…a snow storm hit central Virginia. Two days ago, it rained and snowed incessantly…everyone got snowed in…well, almost everyone.
I thought you were just kidding. The mere idea of braving very dangerous conditions like this made me think that there’s no way you could be serious about picking me up…not until two hours later…
You could have made it to NC for having traveled four hours back and forth. For a 20-yr old, braving a snow storm is called folly…but for a 39-yr old, you called it …

Sa Araw ng Mga Puso

In this day and age where we do most of our socializing through social networking sites, it’s great to somehow tap that and realize that despite the cyber life, LOVE continues to bloom in so many places for so many people of different circumstance.
