Post-Milenyo clean-up operations

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Another thing the storm (and the clean-up operations) has taught me is to stop wasting time on discussion groups and on people who claim to be my friends. I have just left lots of such groups - local ones such as ArtForum, Plaridel, Banggaan, Cinemanila, and a bunch of foreign discussion groups. It is much […]

After the storm

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

It has taken months and months for my marigold plant to bloom, and finally, in the midst of typhoon Milenyo (photo above). There are four small plants in the pot, survivors of months of the simple fact of existing, and two of the plants are showing tiny buds as well. After so much suffering my […]

Bagyong Milenyo

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

What a disaster, typhoon Milenyo will be hitting Manila directly this afternoon, the next one to do so after 11 years. A direct hit could mean there could be calm and even sunshine right in the eye of the typhoon but while the typhoon is on its way, winds are 100-185kmph.

Happy Birthday

Monday, September 25th, 2006

What a rather disturbing start of the day. I was woken up around past two in the morning to go to the toilet. I also had a strange dream. I got up early, around 6AM and ate the hard-boiled egg prepared last night, for breakfast. It wasn’t enough but there wasn’t really anything around to […]

Alwin’s back!

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

Yes, Alwin’s back from a 5-day holiday in Malaysia! When he entered the house he went straight to my room looking for Edward! It was so funny, I asked if he’d already gone to the toilet because Edward hasn’t (so Edward is still wearing his diaper!)

In the photo above […]

Tomorrow

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Tomorrow, Alwin should be back - I’m so excited! I really miss him so much, even if he keeps on bugging me and Edward.
