Dream getaway
Dream summer getaway. Camping in Batanes–as the caterpillar has suggested–or walking on the cobbled paths in Vigan. Camping will require the usual sleeping and cooking paraphernalia, tents, sleeping bags, safety cutters, and don’t forget the matches or a lighter. The funny thing is that we’re probably going to forget the lighter/matches, because no one in [...]
Traveling light
When faced with the prospect of travel I always used to think darn, where will put my stuff? It’s not so much the stuff I have when I leave, but the stuff I tend to bring back as pasalubong, gifts and souvenirs from where ever it is I traveled to.
For example, when I went [...]
A new browser to press buttons with
Have just discovered the web browser called Flock, and my initial opinions about this really useful browser (really fast too, faster than Opera on this machine) are on the revitalized Kusangpalo website.
On Press this Button I learned that Intel will soon be following Levis’ footsteps as it downgrades, or “ramps down” its operations in the [...]
Write your congressman.
In the U.S. whenever a constituent wanted to express his opinion regarding bills or issues in his political district, he would be enjoined to write to his congressman. More so if the constituent would like to know how his congressman stands on the same bills and issues.
I had never written to a congressman, because I [...]
A new template for “Press this Button”
First of all, a hundred thousand thanks to Lazarus for his “Change your blogger template” post. His guide and a couple of cups of Great Taste 3-in-1 allowed me to change the template on “Press this Button” into something more inline with this blog.
Press this Button is actually my political activism blog (or some [...]
Spock.com aims to live long and prosper
Spock- the best for people search is the tag line, but honestly when I first signed up for an account and tried to find my way around the site, it didn’t make that much sense. We already had Yahoo and Google, what did we need Spock.com for?
As I went around the spock.com site as a [...]
Expat
I have been working for my boss since 1999, and in this count I include the two years that I spent away from the company because we never really lost touch with each other. My boss is an expat from the United Kingdom but has Scottish ancestry and has lived part of his life in [...]
Welcome to the Rock (The Corrector)
It is humbling, to say the least, when you visit a site that you know only from history books—a place that you’ve heard about only in documentaries and movie adaptations—and you meet someone who was actually part of history and hear straight from his mouth the events of 40 years ago.
Jibin Arula was a [...]
On the road to Corregidor
We’re looking at a quiet Holy Week this year. We will all be staying home this time. No trips outside the city to some cooler place, no long bus ride going up to the city of pines and lounging around the wooden buildings of Camp John Hay whose architecture which remind me of the condominium [...]
Running away on the train
I used to be the main express
All steam and whistles heading west
Picking up my pain from door to door
Riding on the storyline
Furnace burning overtime
But this train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop,
This train don’t stop there anymore
This train don’t stop there anymore
–Elton John, Bernie Taupin
When I was a little girl I had always imagined that running [...]
