Not everybody may have a child but everybody is a son or a daughter. Our mothers have given us so much in our lifetime. In Filipino culture, a mother never stopped being a mother to their children but is even more a mother to their grandchildren.
How often do we repay all the things she has given us? No amount may be enough to pay her back …

The 2-minute video of the alleged Iloilo LTO scam was uploaded on Youtube by Melefecent1. Whoever you are man, hats off to you. I know why you need to hide behind the nick. These guys have connections that’s why they have the guts to do this. Unless you have more connections than theses cons, you should be more concerned for your safety and your family first.

Was the blogosphere a little lonelier without me? I guess not. If there was somebody missing something, it’s me missing blogging. I haven’t actually went off to some dream land where there’s no internet connection. I was here all the while, silently lurking and sulking. As much I want to update my blog, technology just failed me.
First, I have no internet connection. I moved to a new …

I’m not the religious type, the kind that will never miss church service on Sundays. But having been brought up a Catholic, I can’t avoid feeling guilty about a lot of things that I do or failed to do. However, I believe I’m a prayerful and spiritual person.

As the official filing of certificate of candidacy starts today, so is the wrath of Malacañang on its enemies. The wave of dismissal of public officials opposed to the administration is an indication that yes indeed, election is just around the corner. Governor Tupas of Iloilo was not spared of the same fate. Vice Governor Armada was sworn in today as Governor of Iloilo upon the dismissal of Tupas. Very …

There’s really not much to do when it’s raining this hard. My favorite eating place across the boarding house is close on Sundays so I only ate bread and sardines for breakfast and lunch. I can even smell it in my breath no matter how much I brush. I hate to go out and buy decent food because that would mean spending more than P100 for a single meal. It’s …

I always thought that my ancestors from my mother’s side were of Spanish descent. My Lolos looked mestizo and clavel is a Spanish word for carnation. But eversince I saw Sister Clavel as one of the characters in the French animated children’s show Madeline, I started to have doubts. After just a few mouse clicks, I confirmed that indeed our ancestors were French. Luckily, there is a Clevelle Genealogy egroup …

We are not the type to celebrate or get mushy about our anniversary. We’ll just have dinner, exchange gifts and that’s it. On my part, I just chose this day to start with my blog. Wala lang. I just want to mark this special day. My boyfriend doesn’t even have an email so the likelihood of him reading my blog is very slim. So this blog is not for him …
