Musings of the Wedding Emcee
I was feeling more like a rock star with my wide, wide leather belt (double buckle, baby!) than a cordial wedding emcee when I hosted Joey and Michelle’s wedding last Saturday. Here are what I learned from my i-kept-on-stuttering-on-the-word-“presidential” experience. The groom is very contagious when he cries. My nephew, a.k.a. my art protegee, can catch a flying dove. Ugh!...

Once upon a time, I was looking for an Australian firm I can apply to (or I would beg to take me). My job hunt led me to this uber-promising firm. I instantly became a fan.

Si Pandakotyong
I know Koikoy can’t read yet. But pasaway me gave him books for his first birthday. I think it’s never too early to start one’s own library. I thought it’s best to start with Filipino classic literature for children like Lola Basyang stories (which was written by a lolo(not a lola) Severino Reyes— trivia, trivia). Enter Pandakotyong … (and a book from...
