Ok this is a not so smooth rough draft post of mine. Yes, this is a warning. Sorry I'm in a rush in cleaning up my room.

Last February, we went back to Manila and had a mini trip to Dumaguete and Siquijor. Sorry, I tried a quick search. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any website appealing for Siquijor alone but the one mentioned is meaty enough.

I have to admit working from abroad and going back you suddenly start feeling everything IS cheap. Then again, I really know that stuff in Dumaguete is cheaper considering my all my life living in Manila.

So Dumaguete was not a problem going around with. Aside from the trips to relatives, it was easy enough to bring JohnP around. I had first hand referrals.

So how about Siquijor? Shockingly it was easy as well!

Discrimination of Filipinos in Singapore

April 27, 2008 3:11 AM

Trust me I have thought of posting this post a lot of times but seeing a couple of clicks I got from people in search for the answer of this issue, it did make the gears in my head turn and churn.

As much as I would like to shed some light in a winsome and/or witty way, this kind of topics are quite heavy at heart especially if you are a Filipino.

If you're looking for an answer to a question on how to discriminate and why to discriminate Filipinos, you're looking at the wrong page. Because for one, I am a Filipino and will ever cherish it despite of a half Chinese lineage.

So now... how is my stay in Singapore? And was there any discrimination?

Untraceable the Movie

April 13, 2008 2:37 AM

If you're a net geek *ehermsuchasme* and has fancied The Net by Sandra Bullock, this one makes it an absolute cheesecake out of it.

Untraceable is a suspense movie depicting how an FBI agent tracks down a 20 year old withdrawn geek. A website, KillWithMe.com, appears showing a series of murders broadcasted live over the internet. From kitty murder to my-friend-colleague-and-my-daughter's-favorite murder, FBI Cybercrimes agent, Jennifer Marsh tries to track the murderer down.

Videography: 90ish percent nice. Wasn't fond on how fast they let you glimpse on the text especially the SMS message of the daughter and the first few shots of the chatroom
Cinematography: Very nice as well. Though there were extra shots that really would make your head thing 4 steps forward that the murderer will appear in that same frame. Yes, I thought the murderer will get in the FBI office.
Music Score: Not as catchy as the 12 Monkeys. Yes, it is now playing in your head.
Script: Delicious.

Good friends doesn't mean the new ones

April 8, 2008 10:57 PM

It has been more than n months that I have silently harbored hate. Despite the suddenly too good to be true friendship I have had recently, there are times that really has landed me on my feet.

I was almost outside breaking pencils and slamming chairs when things was suddenly made a direction of what and who I really am now.

It was rage out of disappointment, frustration and crushed promises that really turned me furious and apparently Carla just firmly said... "Dong, don't."

I guess that is one thing that you find in the world nowadays. Friend friend or a good friend. Friend friend tells you want you want to hear and a good friend tells you what there really is. And Carla is just being Carla.

Connie and Carla

Thanks, Carla. At least I was sane again.

Cost of Living in Singapore

April 6, 2008 1:09 AM

A couple of months ago, maDot asked me how babies were made.

Just kidding.

No. Actually she asked me why everyone is moving into Singapore and even they are receiving a salary of SGD1,800 which is somewhat considerably small. So I somewhat gave her a breakdown of what it is like.

Of course this is somewhat outdated but you got an idea.

Feel free to leave a comment. :)

My hero... and the rest of mighty tall pygmy women out there.

April 4, 2008 12:52 PM

I have been blogging for quite sometime. Commenting here and there. Meeting new bloggers and losing them.

But among the so many... I have taken one as my hero.

For seeing the greatness in small women, Basapa.com

This goes out to the short women. For trying to keep up with the long-legged walks. For putting up with the annoyances of the third, fourth, or fifth wheel labeling in group outings. For the little sister who never forgot that she teases his brother’s taller friends, always having the good humor in smiling even upon overhearing that they are annoyed to death by her tag-along shortness.
