Sutherland is my new happy place

Sutherland is my new happy place It’s been quite a while since my last post, I apologize because I’ve been tied up with the day-to-day operations of my everyday life. These past 3 weeks had rather been a busy one for me. No matter how I wanted to do a post or two for each day I can’t seem to take the action. 2011 is my year; I can now feel it’s real. New Year celebration have never been better compared to last year, since I was surrounded by my loved ones. I spent my New Year in our province. Great food. Fireworks. It was undeniably fun! The past 3 weeks (December 26, 2011- December 13, 2012) of my life...

OFW remittances at an all-time high: social remittances as new currency from Global Pinoys

OFW remittances at an all-time high: social remittances as new currency from Global Pinoys Remittances from Filipinos working overseas are at an all-time high. And no, it’s not just because they’re sending back US dollars, Saudi Riyals, Euros or Japanese Yen; but because our modern-day heroes are sending back what’s known as social remittances.

A Whole New Globe Of Giving

A Whole New Globe Of Giving Stars fled the skies! I see them on the streets, on the walls and on every window of every Christian household. The kids are cheering for it is the season of giving. Their hearts are warm in anticipation and I for one have become childlike these past few weeks.

Even as a simple 50-peso lantern, that star could bring back what I felt as a ten year old listening to carollers at the front porch while my mother prepares the ham and cheese for noche buena. And so I’m glad to have...

I bet for Pinoy Teens

I bet for Pinoy Teens It’s voting time for the 2011 Philippine Blog Awards 2011 Bloggers’ Choice Award.

Kevin is nominated for different categories in this year’s Philippine Blog Awards. Evidently, there’s a truth in the rumor that he is one of the most noticeable bloggers in the Philippines. So, with...
