CIS Reunion For A Cause

cho — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:50:11 +0000

I'd like to thank the people who made the CIS Reunion Lunch For A Cause happen last Saturday, Dec. 13.

And of course the event would not have been succesful if not for the people who attended and those who could not make it but who supported the event nonetheless.

Despite the Christmas rush to go to malls and parties, friends from happier days came and

One For Ninoy

17 years ago, Benigno Aquino Jr was killed at NAIA. I thought it happened around 6PM on a rainy Saturday evening. But turning back my PC’s calendar to 1983 shows that it was actually a Sunday. So now I’m not sure about the time. I do remember feeling depressed, then angry. For me, Ninoy represented more »

Bad Decision

I belong to an organization called the UPIS Kabalikat Foundation. It’s a group of fathers who have or who’ve had kids in the UP Cub Scouts (called locally as KABs – Kabataan Alay sa Bayan), Boy Scouts, or Senior Scouts. The group helps out with funding and also manning scout activities. The main scout activity more »

Another Chapter

I’ve transferred to another IT company. So once again I have to go through the nasty phase of fitting in, getting in-sync, remembering names and faces, and lunching solo. But once again the excitement is there. Something new. New hopes. Something to look forward to. I’m smiling again.

Art

The infamous Art Bell hate mail to Pinoys refuses to die. I don’t recall exactly when, but I think it has already been more than five years since I first received that Art Bell Pinoy hate email. The email asserts that Art Bell had an anti-Pinoy broadcast in one of his radio shows. Of course, more »

Unexpected Question

Last Sunday, over lunch, our 10-year old suddenly asked: “Ma? Ano ba yung mid-life crisis?” I almost choked. Boy, are their teachers asking them to observe their parents? Luckily, the question wasn’t addressed to me and I kinda rolled my eyes over to my wife. She gave a factual answer – that there comes a more »

Walking on Sunshine

Katrina and the Waves remains a favorite 80s band because of Walking on Sunshine. But with the disaster in New Orleans, I can’t help but feel sorry that the band’s name is suddenly in bad taste. Well, according to Katrina Leskanich, she will be launching her solo album on October 2005. I do hope she more »

And so it begins

In the Philippines, the official start of the holiday season begins December 16, the first day for dawn masses. But we are known to be a crazy bunch, and to most people here September 1 is the start of the count-up to Christmas Day. September is the first of the -ber months, leading up to more »

Meeting Neil Gaiman

cho — Tue, 30 Aug 2005 08:10:00 +0000

Mid 90s? Like most Gaiman fans, I first ‘met’ the man through the Sandman series. I’d been hooked on Stephen King for the longest time and after a while, I just wanted more. Then I found Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. Right about that time I started to notice the Sandman graphic novels because of more »
