Backstreet Boys in Manila!
The greatest boy band in the world is coming to Manila in May for a concert! I want to go….I missed their concert with the New Kids on the Block a couple of years ago. But this time, I really want to. I have to!...
Reality
I don’t usually like consecutive music posts on my blog but this has been my earworm for the past several days. I’ve listened to this song countless of times before but I didn’t know what its title was. Anyway, I found a Japanese translation of the...
Happy 2015!
Whew! It was a whirlwind in 2014! I didn’t realise how much has happened until I narrated my entire year to my surfing sister, Desiree. Last year was big, fast and fun. I feel that 2015 will even be bigger, faster and more awesome! To...

Shelfie: what does your bookshelf say about you?
Yeah, I don’t do selfies. I do shelfies and my bookshelf screams: language NERD! As if that needs any confirmation. I still have more books and stuff for languages like Spanish, German and Korean but I have them in a box in the laundry cage...

Friday Photo: Koi pond
My neighborhood has a pond outside the clubhouse but I never noticed these koi until recently. I did see frogs, not fish. Maybe I was merely looking, not observing, not realizing what is there in front of me, not appreciating. Note to self: stop and...
