While not exactly one to follow fashion trends (mainly because I’m a cheapskate), I am a big fan of Bill Cunningham, a street fashion photographer who “writes” a column called “On The Streets with Bill Cunningham” for the New York Times. For quite some time, I have been thinking of doing a blog very similar [...]

Finally. Chapter 3. I am sooo hungry. I deserve good food tonight. On my way to Capricciosa now for the fabulous veggie soup I had been dreaming about the whole day.
If you want the novel, or at least so far what the novel is, to be all on one page, click here.
Individual chapters are [...]

I’m taking it easy today. Sleeping, reading, surfing the net… But all the while dreading tomorrow. The thought of tomorrow hangs threateningly over my head since I woke up this morning. I tried ignoring it, but it’s no use.
Oh tomorrow!! Tomorrow, it’ll be serious work. Tomorrow, at least 10 pages have to churned out by [...]

I have to think a little more to be able to write this week’s list. Just that nothing too out of the ordinary happened in the past week so not too many things immediately come to mind.*thinks harder

Coffee’s back in the office. The instant variety though. I suppose beggars can’t [...]

Before the month ends, Chapters 3 and 4 have to be ready for posting. The goal is to complete the second draft within the year. Tough, tough, tough. I almost whip myself just to get something done these days. At the rate I’m going, I will have to spend the whole day on Monday working [...]

– getting to know and understand FKB more
And us feeling so much closer despite being physically half a world apart.
– eight new books, four of which were free
And I just found [...]

I spent the afternoon working on Chapter 3, a chapter I dreaded because I would have to write it from scratch. It was one of those gaps in the first draft that finally showed itself after I had started on the rewriting. After I did all the preliminary procrastinating rituals, I got to work.
Two things [...]

Today is devoted to writing Chapter 3.
But before that I planned on some grocery shopping. Minor stuff: milk, coffee, crackers, yogurt, and a few bars of chocolate for those days when nothing else could cheer me up. On the way to the supermarket, however, I got sidetracked. Power Books was on sale. “Up to 80% [...]

According to this article, Pinays are the most clueless among the Asian nations when it comes to their own bodies. First I was mildly surprised. Sure, we definitely couldn’t have made the honor roll but to be the last in class?! So I continued reading the article and I couldn’t help giggle. That part about [...]

So I thought I’ll start the day with my list. It will hopefully get some of the crank out from my great caffeine withdrawal. Plus I have my period so you must understand what an effort this is going to be… Nevertheless, there will always be things to be happy for. For this week, these [...]
