Kimono and Sumo
This morning, as I rode the train to Tokyo from Narita, I chanced upon this lady wearing a kimono. As it is my first time in Japan, I was impressed to see people wearing their traditional clothes. I discretely took out my camera phone and shot this (thank God for mute functions). As I loaded the photo in my laptop a few hours later, I couldn’t stop laughing as I stare at the guy beside the...

As I finish my bowl of fruits, I stare out into the frozen lake in front of Le Royal Meridien Hotel. The stillness of the iced lake, the snow-covered paths, the grey skies and...

Looking Back on the Year That Was 2008
After 26 shuttles, 46 layovers, 13 Manila flights, 105 off days and 5 vacations, the year has come to an end. Realizing the total number of duties that I had in 2008, it seemed work was easy. Ha! But yeah, it felt pretty much like that. But man, I still feel I lack rest and sleep and wonder where’d my time go.

Beyond
As of this writing, I am currently in the middle of something that makes me feel excited and nostalgic. How I wish the feeble excitement within would overshadow the nostalgia I am feeling.
But no, the longing is so strong. I feel that this prolonged earnest desire that remains unfulfilled would remain a melancholic unrealization.
Sad, but true.
At least I’m doing a humble bit about...

Venn's Puto Seko
Pagkatapos ng maraming taon, sa wakas, I had a taste of this puto-seko. Hindi ako mahilig kumain ng puto-seko, lalo na yung mga bilog na matitigas na kulay white, na kadalasan mabibili sa pasalubong/native food section ng supermarket. Pero itong Ven’s, adik ako dito. Almost 10 years ago, pumunta si Tita Tibo sa Lucban para sa Pahiyas Festival, tapos nung umuwi siya, may dala siya nito. That...
