Meet Pom Conan who doesn't shy away from the cam but can't take its blinding flash. And so I could only take this pic from the side.

When I Went Loco in Ilocos

It's summer time once again! School is over, Holy Week is a few days away, and everyone is starting to make plans for their vacation. Head for the beach or a nearby resort? Participate in sports marathons? Take a crash course in arts, culinary, or photography? Organize a family reunion? Or simply spend a weekend watching cable TV or old DVDs? The choices are aplenty, depending on the available time and budget. Since I am restricted by both, I figured I have to be as creative as I can in order to join the summer frenzy. And so . . . BACKTRACK to July 2011, that memorable time I spent in the scenic province of Ilocos. The destinations: Vigan, Laoag, and of course, Pagudpud! Mitchie ♥ Come to think of it, this is a very belated account of that trip. Shame! But as they say, better late than never. Yes!! FIRST STOP: VIGAN Richie and I reached the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vigan in the wee hours of the morning, probably around 4:30 am hahaha! We realized we eithe

My Favorite Things In random order:  1. Writing , which is why this blog was born; which is why I took up journalism in college; which is why nearly all my professional experience had something to do with either writing or rewriting; and which is why I loved it when Jyego would write me little notes (just to say thank you or sorry ) when he was growing up. Kuya Jyego with cousin Stephanie Claire 2. Escapolar , my mother's maiden name, because it sounds like scapular, a religious item that Catholics usually wear around their necks for protection. Jyego wears one. 3. Aguila , my paternal name, because it is associated with the eagle, a symbol of power and nobility. 4. Leo , my zodiac sign, my birthday being July 23. Cheers!!! I am a true-blooded Leo so I had the symbol tattooed just below the back of my neck. Many references say Leos are the most dominant of all the zodiacs. I cannot agree more! Depending on the person I am dealing with, this trait can be my ally or my

Another year over (almost)

Thirty-three days to go, and another year goes down the drain. No thanks to my poor memory, I can only relate what this year was like from the third quarter up until the current one. I must say, 2011 has been both nasty and nice. I was a constant victim of stress, so much so my body and mind became its breeding ground. I slept, woke up, and worked my butt off feeling stressed. I developed acid reflux, felt deprived from lack of sleep (I remember getting FOUR hours of sleep in a span of two days!), and accumulated a great deal of emotional baggage. So, is there a nice part to this after all? Honestly, not much at first glance. But, I realized, this year taught me a lot of things. Because half of my time was stress-filled, I got to appreciate more the other half that I had, until I learned to take life as it is, no matter how tough it is. I became more appreciative of the good times and prepared (I think!) for the bad times. I am aiming for more in 2012: more wisdom (read: I need to g
