Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’

In most of the interviews I have done in the past, one recurring question was “What is a sassy lawyer day like?” The question is probably borne out of the curiosity to find out if I do much else aside from blogging considering how much output I could churn out in a day.

More often the not, the output is directly proportional with the input.

In short, while the computer stays on most of the day, I am able to do a lot of other things. I have to, really. Until about two months ago, we had no househelp for almost two years. Had I been spending each weekday doing nothing but sit in front of the computer, we would have starved, we would have been wearing filthy clothes, etc. etc. Why am I writing about this?

A Pinoy mommy blogs network

I didn’t know she was a blogger. She never put her URL in every time she posted a comment on my blog. I’m talking about Rhodora’s ‘Time and Tide’. I spent about 30 minutes reading her entries. As I read, a long-buried (abandoned even) idea was resurrected.
Early this year, I thought about forming a network [...]

Canned goods and instant noodles

I am soooo NOT a fan of canned goods and instant noodles. I know–they’re such a convenience. But the artificial flavors, especially the marked taste of MSG, is just too much for my mouth. Plus, all those scary things one reads about preservatives, not to forget a study that came out a few years ago [...]
