Whenever I meet people from different geographies, they read me as someone from Spain. I do not have the mestiza look that can land me a good career in the entertainment industry, but my last name – dela Cruz gives a good touch of Spanish descent. But, we, Filipinos know our history, and our last […]
It is starting to warm up in Manila. A few days ago, I was almost ready to bring out my gloves and winter clothes from the closet. But then I know, this weather is not the coldest I had experience. I tried to recall the time when I felt so cold – almost freezing. Down […]
It was a rough road and a long drive. I wouldn’t be able to visit this place on my own. I was so glad that I was part of the Organic Agriculture Bloggers who were invited by the Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Training Institute to visit the organic farms in Bacolod, Negros Occidental.

I am not used to waking up in the morning. Morning – when the sun is up is usually my sleep time. But when I was in Bacolod for our Organic Farm Tour, the experience once again reminded me of how beautiful it is to wake up in the morning. We headed to Penalosa Organic […]
When I told my friends that I am going to Bacolod for some organic agriculture farm tour, they told me that I should be bringing our friend/co-worker Sharine. She is one advocate of organic products – from food to the products she uses at home. I am thinking it would probably mean a sort of […]
So, it is Monday once again. I am counting the hours when I would once again open my ThinkPad, check the mails, work on issues, and meet the deadlines. Weekend just went by just like that. I felt like I only had one day for myself this weekend (I worked last Saturday – Boooo…). I need […]
