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!

My Christmas 2012
I have been terribly busy at work lately. Today is a little bit different though. Because of that, I finally had the chance to visit my blog. Yeah, I've been reduced to a visitor of my own blog.

Christmas carols are played on the radio, Christmas trees are set up, and last but not least, TV shows start their daily countdown. I would immediately switch channels with a frown on my face. I could not feel any excitement for the coming holidays. Imagine Ebenezer Scroog...
It was a good day yesterday. My son took an entrance exam in FEU Diliman, and he passed. *grin* It was both our first time to set foot in the school. Jyego was visibly nervous, but he was also ecstatic at the new environment surrounding him, a vast university on roughly a 15-hectare piece of land. In spite of the scorching heat, it felt nice walking on the university's covered walks and seeing a lot of greens all around. As the university claims, there is peace and quiet within the school premises. When we reached the Guidance office, it was past eleven o'clock in the morning. We were politely told by one of the personnel that we were a few minutes late into having Jyego take the test. We agreed to meet there again at one o'clock in the afternoon. Jyego and I went to the canteen, but he did not want to eat anything. He was obviously still feeling tensed. I wasn't so hungry myself, so we just sat there. The cafeteria isn't a very fancy place (it's not even ai...
