It isn’t unusual for a parent to bend over backwards to make a child’s dream come true. But to what lengths will a daughter go to make her father’s dream come true?
Speedy has a dream. He says he looks like Brad Pitt. Okay, maybe it’s more of an illusion or a delusion rather than a [...]

This is my entry to the Pinoy Moms Network Fam(ily) Pic(tures) “Plated” edition. I’m really trying to beat the 11.00 p.m. deadline here so the story will be posted in a bit as an update.

Finally managed to buy a DVD copy of E.T., The Extraterrestrial. Astrovision is selling DVDs at bargain prices, from P199.00 to P350.00 and E.T. was priced at P199.00.
Then, there was Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book which I want my kids to see after the bitter disappointment [...]
