Can “parenting” be taught?

If you use the keyword parenting in a Google News search, the list of results almost always include articles about parenting classes.
It sounds a bit weird. Sessions where parents can share and learn from each other’s experiences sounds good but I can’t imagine a “classroom” where “teachers” teach students how to become good or [...]

Personalized Christmas gift tags

Sounds unbelievable but we’re not through yet with Christmas gift wrapping. We’ve been doing it in batches. A day before each reunion or party, we wrap whatever would be distributed the following day, and so on, and so forth. We wrapped the second to the last batch of gifts this afternoon and we hope to [...]

December 22 is Global Orgasm Day

When I found the URL in Ananova, I thought it was a joke. It isn’t. A couple think they can achieve world peace through synchronized orgasm.

Stephen Tame, 29, had been married for eight months when [...]

I never denied the fact that I’m a lousy baker. I mean, I can do simple cakes and cookies but the really complex ones, especially cakes that require decorating, have simply been beyond my skills. But everyone in my family knows I want to learn.
My daughter Alex went shopping with some friends last Monday [...]

(Almost) Christmas reunion

Jay and Jet David are two of my oldest friends in the Filipino blogging community. Not old-old — they’re not that old hehehe. What I mean is that they are among the first Filipino bloggers I met in person after meeting them online as bloggers. The first time we met, over inihaw na liempo and [...]

Pasta, a birthday, a Christmas party and a book

It’s going to be a busy weekend. But I feel energized. Actually, I feel great. For the first time in so many months, I’m writing the way I always wanted to. I finally acknowledged what had been staring at me in the face for a long time. Not following the political news — not paying [...]

Dumb Smart Schools (do NOT Text 2622)

Smart Schools Program is otherwise known as Text 2622: A Smart Way to text DepEd. The program’s official site boasts that:
Dubbed DETxt 2622, the service lets public school faculty, staff, students, parents and the general public automatically receive advisories such as announcements on test schedules, press releases, holiday announcements, and cancellation of classes.
We knew, of [...]

Snap it!

I’m hoping that posting will be back to its normal pace by tomorrow as we wind up fixing some technical problems. I won’t bore you with the details save to say that I believe, now more than ever, that it isn’t a good idea to make decisions — especially major ones — in a fit [...]
