I would like to greet myself (and my mom) a happy 1st year anniversary. Its been a year since I landed in Dubai and I'm still here alive, kicking, crazy (baliw) but happy.I have felt how it is to be terribly homesick. Its a feeling I don't want anybody to experience but it did me good in a "big picture" kind of way.I have good work, its not so stressful so it is good for me. I have new

When you're living abroad you suddenly find yourself missing the things that you take for granted back home.Unlike in the Philippines, you can't buy malunggay here. They are not sold in the market nor in the groceries. The first few months I've lived here I began to miss Philippine vegetables and one of them is the malunggay. I said to myself it'll probably be next year till I eat malunggay again

My editor who is very interested about the Filipino culture often asks me questions that make me realize who we really are as a nation. Here's one of our conversations aboard the car on the way to work.“I guess most Filipinos can speak two languages; English, Tagalog and at least one dialect. I mean most Filipinos I know can. I know I can.”“How come you guys can do that?”“And I can understand two

This morning Miss X, my editor, took me with her as her photographer to a press launch in Four Season’s golf club. Tag Heuer is introducing an Arab spokesperson. After the Burj al Arab experience wherein I got a few grams of gold as a giveaway inside the press kit I was expecting that Tag Heuer will give out watches. Sadly, we didn’t get any press kits this time as the venue was jam-packed with

My editor, took me to shoot a presscon of a property developer. It was held inside the Burj al Arab. I'm sure you already know this - but for those who don't, the Burj is the only 7-star hotel on planet Earth. So imagine my excitement when I learned that I'll be able to see the inside.On the entrance the Burj looks like a pregnant alligator. I don't mean anything bad by it, actually I think it

The past months I’ve been living and working here in Dubai I have observed that to communicate effectively in a country where multiple nationalities merge into one population one must bear in mind to use simple words.Most of my career as a designer I’ve worked with different nationalities and I try my best to choose the right words and speak correct grammar. Maybe I have the inclination of being

To prevent boredom due to cultural adjustments, homesickness and unemployment I made some (tadah!) wallpapers! Quotes are from the Bible. Photos are grunged a bit and colors subdued so it won't interfere with your desktop icons. Resolution is set to 1600x1200.

So this is how it feels. I am having my first bouts of homesickness. I'm here in the Emirates for almost three months now. Three months! Its the longest I've been away from home.When I've just arrived a friend advised that I should give six months for myself to adjust. Another missionary friend said that I must consider this as home now. I absent-mindedly replied and said ok, yeah, sure. Easier

One of the good things that we Filipinos take pride in is that we are clean as a race. We are hopeless addicts when it comes to cleaning ourselves. As a people we can take on poverty, politicians, pollution, and a whole bunch of problems but we can not tolerate body odor.Filipinos take a bath everyday, some twice and when the weather is humid we bath thrice a day. We take baths in the coldest of

Some HK VideosHave you tried Windows Moviemaker? You should - it's really easy.Years ago I really looked down on Moviemaker. At that time I thought it was so limiting for me and there isn't much you can do with it, creatively speaking. I was a Premiere (Adobe) die hard fan and sometimes a Vegas (Sony) user when my RAM couldn't keep up. But when I sold my old computer, I was left with the humble

Ting-TingOriginally uploaded by Litratista. CatsA few years ago, I found this dirty ugly kitten on the street who was meowing like crazy, probably hungry out of his wits. I adopted him and named him Mang-mang. He’s now a grown up cat who has a live-in partner (lives with us). I named her Keng-keng. Filipinos have a fondness for repeating syllables and turning them into names. Also, I admit I

Season of SingingAfter about 3 years or so of vocal hibernation, I get to sing in public again.I used to be in a band that was to represent Asian music in Europe specifically Germany. We trained so hard for almost a year with our teachers, all of them from U.P. Conservatory. But then the trip never pushed through for a number of reasons. Oh well, at least I had some free vocal and stage training

You know, those heroic people who sacrifice their lifeplans just to bring the Good News to wherever their "calling" is. A calling is a vocation or a place to which you are being called to. And so we chatted the afternoon away while I found myself moved by her stories. They say its not

Clearing my headBefore the 2005 ends, my friend and I decided to spend the morning by the beach. I just brought with me a camera, a beach mat and a sunscreen. It was so peaceful that day, just enough sun and the waves just light. Very good for clearing one's head.We forgot one thing though... food! :-D

The Edge Radio Last October 2004, my boss excitedly talked to me about his vision of putting up a radio station. I kept on nodding as he mentioned technical words like transmitter, megawatts, and satellites. I think I’m a technically proficient person but these words sound foreign to me. Partly because I'm a graphic designer and I have not been exposed to the world of radio broadcasting. I’

Sportslife!Madalas ang pag-siswimming ko ngayon sa YMCA. Mahilig talaga akong mag-swiming. Kung naniniwala lang ako sa re-incarnation, tiyak na dolphin ako nung past life ko. Madalas ko ngang iniisip kung anong meron sa tubig at masyado akong at home sa kanya. Matagal akong maligo sa umaga kasi enjoy na enjoy akong maligo, kahit pa maginaw.

Desisyon, desisyon!Habang nagmamadaling palabas ng opisina kanina, sinalubong na naman ako ni Dean of Students ng tanong."Nagdesisyon ka na bang handa ka nang pumasok sa isang relasyon?"Huh! Saan na naman niya nakuha ang ganitong tanong?Katulad ng dati, tinawanan ko lang siya at pinilit magbitaw ng "safe answer." Pero tulad din ng dati napag-isip na naman ako hanggang sa bus at sa fx.

Sobrang sikip na kahit makati ilong mo, hindi mo makakamot. Sobrang sikip na wala kang makikitang view kundi ang mukha ng kaharap mo. Sobrang sikip na kung sa pagsakay mo 36B ka, pagbaba mo 32A ka na lang!Ang

Diving InHave you ever experienced diving? The excited tension that you feel upon standing on the poolside or on a boat at sea. The energy you sense all over your body as you position yourself before the jump. The fear and doubt that you undergo knowing that if you make a mistake you’ll be hurt.And finally you breathe in and jump…If you’ve never done this, you need to try it while you’re still

The 700 Club CounselorsLast night, I got invited to this reunion of sorts of 700 Club Counselors. It was in a certain hotel in Makati Avenue. It took me several minutes to find it, I was tired and my back ached and I wasn’t wearing my eyeglasses so I passed it and never saw it.

On LoveFrom "The Prophet" by Kahlil GibranI found this in the library, I think I was the first one who ever borrowed it since there were no other names listed on the borrowers card at the back. The copy was published 1971, rough cut and hardbound. I remember reading this when I was a lot younger (naglalaro pa ako ng taguan) probably in my 4th grade when I hung out in the library all the time. At

Sarado ba?"Sarado ang puso mo." Iyan ang mga katagang binitiwan ng Dean of Students namin sa akin. Dahil pauwi na ako noon at nagmamadaling makaalis para maabutan ang huling tren ng LRT, tinawanan ko na lang siya. Pero habang nasa bus ako, parang umaalingaw-ngaw ang mga salitang iyon sa tainga ko."O LRT! Yung mga LRT diyan lapit na sa pinto!"Mabuti na lang malakas sumigaw yung konduktor ng bus at

This was right after the busiest week of the schoolyear - what a great time to relax, swim and just be with nature with no other people around. Though in my Keirsey-Bates personality test I found out that I was an extrovert, I get worn-out by being with

On the other side of my outgoing personality are my reclusive tendencies. I’m so sick of the city, so sick of places that remind me of work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my work and dearly love the people I work with. I suppose

Peacefully Disturbed I don't know what I'm feeling these days. Its a mixture of being disturbed and being at peace at the same time. If may put it this way: its like when you know you need to do something but you don't know what it is. And so are disturbed by the fact that maybe you are letting a very important thing pass and you don't even know what the ting was. Maybe its just me dreading
