I have Typhoon Frank (international code name: Fengshen) to thank for the misfortune I had since yesterday. I was supposed to go home to Iloilo yesterday morning but lo and behold! Typhoon Frank came lashing out with heavy rains and strong winds that cancelled all boat trips. I found myself stranded in Bacolod City with five boxes of Roli’s Napoleones. No matter how much I love napoleones, five boxes is …

I feel homicidal right now and the person at the receiving end of my wrath is no other than my dear older sister. My niece just texted me that my dear sister did not buy our mom’s prescription yesterday so she will have no medicines to take for 1:00 PM today. And what’s more, the drug in question is her anti-coagulation drug, being a stroke survivor, it’s her most important …

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”

Ti, Hiligaynon ko na lang ni para makapaathag ako sang maayo. May hurubat-on ang mga tigulang nga dapat kun sin-o ang nagtanum, nag-ani, nag-bayo kag nagtig-ang, sya man ang mabak-it kag magkaon. Naintindihan ko nga kun nakahibalo ang iban kun sin-o ang tagsulat sang “You know you’re a true-blue Ilonggo”, hatagan man sya sang nagakadapat nga pagkilala. Apang, tungod nga nabaton lamang ato sa …

I was just charged with a P400 for a credit card replacement. I declared my card stolen when in fact it was not, not knowing there’s a fee for it. For my peace of mind and to remind me of my stupidity, I’m willing to pay the price.
You see, I had my credit card photocopied back-to-back as an attachment to my loan application to PS Bank. A trusted agent of …

Saving is not always good. This semester, our region in the Program is one of the Happy Savers Club which puts us in a bad light. So we have to spend all the money we saved otherwise DBM will really tighten downloading our funds next year. So I’m going to do a lot of fieldwork again. I’m going to be inconvenienced into sleeping in somebody’s house, try hard not to …

No, I’m not heartbroken and this is not about surviving a failed relationship. This is just about surviving this horrendous place we call bureaucracy. So you think ‘dog eats dog’ only happens in the corporate world? I thought so too and how was I mistaken!
Unfortunately, I came late into the game so I wasn’t able to grow fangs. I’m a fast learner and I learned my lesson from the best …

Some people just have no respect for intellectual property. Yeah, you can copy anything from other people’s blogs but ask for their permission first or at least have the decency to acknowledge them as your source. I did a search at Technorati on the word Ilonggo and guess what I discovered? There are bloggers who posted a blog entry which is a copy of my Ilonggo guid blog entry.

I have already considered the idea of buying a property through Pag-IBIG since last year. It remained an idea since I coudn’t afford the equity requirement. Then I saw the Pag-IBIG Housing Fair 2006 booth at Robinsons Place so I immediately inquired. The program gives Pag-IBIG members an opportunity to purchase foreclosed properties through Pag-IBIG at 15% discount. You are required to pay for the 10% downpayment within 15 days …
