Anything & Everything

I have been wanting to update my blog but my work has been pretty hectic that I haven't been able to do so. I promised myself I would write about our Clan Reunion but after a few start had to forego for the rush tasks...whew, some took time coz it really was not my forte. Had to embed this though because I needed to share this video of a really cute kid in red t-shirt running around...at first you would think he is just running but then you will notice the otter racing along with him. Coincidence? Nah! See when the kid suddenly turns around, the otter does the same thing and the kid turns around again abruptly, like he was faking it out, and so does the otter. Love hearing the kid's laughter and of course the people around him found it really funny, too.

It's a Saturday and there would be less jeepneys available blahblahblah. I was getting worried but texting his teammate is always my last recourse...a good thing I took those numbers. Good thing he replied (and I thanked...

Image Source: Life's My Trip Despite the very strong earthquake in Japan that destroyed lives and infrastructure, the Filipinos are still as focused as ever with the second leg of the AFC Challenge Cup where the Philippine National football team duels with Mongolia Blue Wolves. Fans were worried about the situation of the Azkals especially because they were in Japan when the earthquake occurred. It’s a good thing that members of Azkals also kept Filipinos informed with their situation and continuously tweeted updates. Simon Greatwich and Jason Sabio were not able to join them in Japan but had to make do with sleeping at the airport. The trip to Mongolia took longer than the usual travel time, almost 24 hours, since the major earthquake caused a big disruption in transportation services. Finally, around 4am Sunday the Azkals arrived Ulan Bator and met a chilling response. Not from the fans but from the Mongolian climate which was around -20 degrees Celsius. Mongolia’s temperature wa...
