I am approaching the fact that in a few days, Harry Potter is gonna end!!! Not liking that one bit but I'm also excited just the same. I was one of those people who did go back to reading because of Harry Potter. At that time, I was done with reading the classics, nothing there caught my interest anymore.                         Then along came Harry.  Thank you, Harry, for letting me in your

Here's a cause I hope will go a long way - the passing of a bill that will surely benefit Deaf Filipinos. If you want to do your part to make the world a better place to live in, this is a good start :) House Bill 4121 is about having sign language insets on television programs and House Bill 4631 is about having court interpreters for the Deaf. Both are very much needed in our country right now

Just got this message  from Dr. Liza Martinez -- "October is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH! Watch Salamat Dok sign interepreted segment tomorrow, 7:30 am, Ch 2." I'm glad that people like Dr. Martinez and people from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde make an effort to have information disseminated in sign language. It is sad to note that the Philippines is behind in closed captioning on

Just entered Manila Bulletin's "I Love being a Teacher because.." essay contest. I don't know if I will win, but I had fun writing the essay. Been teaching for a while now. Still passionate about it. It's been a long struggle to teach English for the Deaf. There's still so much to do. Anyhow, here's the essay that I sent. Requirements were to write not more then 1000 words but I think I may have

I'm in the middle of reading this book right now. I'm not done yet but the travel accounts are pretty well written. Didn't like much the personal accounts of depression and not having children (maybe because I'm at a stage in my life right now where I'm pretty happy with my life. To each his own, I guess.) I couldn't imagine depression and loneliness ever having a face. I liked the account of the

        I love to travel. I've been to a couple of places in the world. These are Arizona, New York, Las Vegas, Korea, Singapore, San Fransisco and Hong Kong. In the Philippines, I've been to Bohol, Cebu, Boracay, Bicol, Baguio, Laguna, Batangas, Tagaytay, and Malapascua Island.         Malapascua Island stands out because it was a different experience. I don't think I would be able to go back

Help me! That’s a common thing I hear nowadays from my Deaf friends. The common question that keeps on popping up everywhere I go, whomsoever I meet. It’s quite interesting because they ask me to: 1. Tell them the meaning of a certain word (it makes me feel like a walking encyclopedia/dictionary) 2. Interpret at a fast food place, a restaurant, even in a movie theatre!

learning to love and love yourself are completely two different things.. when you don't love yourself, how can you be capable of loving someone else?..when you are trying not to fight, and things you don't really wanna say.. just sort of slips out.. would you be angry enough to let go?..when you are fighting with the one you love.. but don't really want to fight anyway.. when you realize there

isn't it ironic....... when you try to come home for the weekend in the hopes of spending time with your family but then finding out they have their own plans as well? ... that when you decide NOT to go home for the weekend, it's the time they text you and say "wish you were here"???... that's life, i guess.

Here's something not many people know.. Ethan Zohn emailed me. Heheheehe. As respect for his privacy, not including his email here. But including the website for his grassroot soccer. I wish could volunteer. Wish soccer was big here in the Phils. But unfortunately, Basketball is the BIGGIE thing here. If it was soccer, reckon Ethan would have a grassroot soccer program here? That would be cool.

Rob Mariano. Boston Rob. I have always heard about that name and I read about the whole hype of them being on Amazing Race. To tell the truth, I haven't watched him in Survivor. The last Survivor I watched was, I think, Survivor:Africa, where I really liked Ethan Zohn - who I got to meet!! I have that photo here on my blog. (Now if I can remember which date it was in...

My admiration for the multi-talented Japanese actor/singer/artist, Takuya Kimura grew one lazy afternoon. Having watched all the DVDs I had, I decided to try watching this Japanese Dorama called "Beautiful Life". My best friend has a crush on this guy and she swears on her life that he is a great actor.

Team Romber (as all the fansites that do recaps on those episodes call them). They are Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich. I hope they win the show.
