Why Do We Have Leap Years?
I myself didn’t know why we have Leap Years, all I know was that every 4 years February gets an extra day. The video below explains this in detail. You just have to keep up with the fast talking narrator…
EDSA in 1986: People Power or Putsch?
In 1986, an event transpired that most most of us have come to know as “People Power”. Some believed that this would bring about betterment in the lives and well-being for all Filipinos after the 21-year rule of former President Ferdinand Marcos. But did it?
26 years later, nothing changed, or should I say even changed for the worse. The Philippines is now in a much sorrier state than before, further left behind by it’s neighbors and the economy now relying heavily on OFW’s remittances.

Project iPhoneography
The Project
Project iPhoneography is my latest attempt for a photoblog (yes, I had numerous attempts in the past…). I always had a passion for photography. I love taking pictures, capturing priceless moments as they happen and browsing through pictures with amazing effects. As the old saying goes, “a picture can paint a thousand words”, and I believe they really do.

Happy V Fried Chicken
For us overseas, we often crave for our favorite signature Filipino food. One of the most missed is Jollibee. Who would not long for that crispy and juicy Chickenjoy and its very tasty gravy; the Palabok Fiesta and Jolly Spaghetti that all of us have grown to love? Whenever someone goes for a vacation back to the Philippines, more often than not, we ask them to bring us back some of these Jollibee goodies.
Here in Singapore, one small fast food joint somewhat gives us a taste of that: Happy V Fried Chicken.
