Living in the City

Back when Sting was still part of his original group Police, i was already a fan. In fact I got this CD sometime 1993 or 1994 because I saw his advocacy most immediately after playing this CD. Sting is a true original artist.. a political advocate and now I heard he is much into the environment.. This CD talks mostly about the ills in the society.. great melodies.. even greater messages.. I heard he sang and dedicated a song for the victims of Pablo in Mindanao.. Truly an icon..

Talk about grandparents My cousin posted this most recent I guess, photo of my grandparents on my father's side. My grandma Inang as we call her hails from Bulacan and my grandpa, Tatang as we refer to him is from Nueva Ecija. My Titos and Titas look more like they descended from the Chinese or Japanese race, essentially because of the chinkiness of the eyes. But my father though looks more like my grandma you see. Feliza Fernandez Domingo and Jose Mendiola Domingo I remember my Lola as soft spoken woman always slow and soft in the things that comes out of her lips; as against my grandfather who seem to be always having a bad day and possess a nasty habit of cursing in the vernacular :-) On my father's side of the clan, the men have MORE say in what goes on in the family. If my grandfather says something, that goes without fail.. and growing up in that kind of family environment was kind of distressing sometimes because my father wanted to raise us similar

Effects of Climate Changes Almost a year ago, Sendong devastated the City of Cagayan de Oro in Misamis Oriental. Today, Davao, Surigao including many other provinces of Mindanao and the Visayas is expected to experience the onslaught of Pablo (Bopha). I hope and pray that this is NOT going to ne an annual thing. Will we see something like this again? Photo courtesy of this site

We Must Never Ever Forget Stop Illegal Logging!! On the eve of the possible onslaught of Pablo (Bopha) which they say might hit Metro Manila as well! We can only Pray!

Christmas Tree 2012 From last year's Christmas tree to this   still dirty tree, And now voila! Tadah! Christmas tree v 2012.

Filling the house with Love Christmas is always a message of HOPE.. And yes call me a great hoarder of  Christmas decor.. I would not mind.. Christmas and all things nice by malud on Polyvore

My old Christmas tree (sigh) is waiting for a big clean bath. Good it drizzled for awhile. That tree bath is happening tonight when the sun is temporarily out. I could hear the tree talk saying, "so you're back with me, huh." I was really meaning to give the tree a break by buying a new one. What with all that experience with Ondoy. But as circumstances dictate, the tree is here to stay for the 2012 holidays :-D
