On Pointy Shoes

The thousand-mile dash from Ortigas to Makati started off in a series of unfortunate events: inconsiderate taxi drivers, busted MRT trains, early evening rains, cramped seats in a bus scented by roasted peanuts and marathon walks around Makati on pointy shoes. We arrived an hour late at the exhibit venue tired and hungry.

Avid fan. Photo published with permission. No one was coerced nor hurt during the shoot.

In all of these, no matter how ugly things had become, I remained thankful and happy to see old friends and eat pancit with them. And besides walking proved to be more effective in losing a couple of pounds than taking in Phentermine without a prescription. It’s just that my feet hurt.

My most favorite photo of all. The mystic river in Siquijor.

By the way, Living By Water photo exhibit is open from Tuesday to Saturday until the 24th of May.

Charice Pempengco Wows Oprah

A friend and I have been talking for weeks about Charice Pempengco’s guesting in Oprah and getting free tickets to Madonna’s Manila concert. Madonna isn’t here yet but Charice has been on the news yesterday making headlines around the world. This young 16-year-old talent from Cabuyao, Laguna sang an old Whitney Houston hit at Oprah Winfrey’s show and held everyone captive with that super amazing voice. If my memory serves me right, she has been previously introduced at the Ellen De Generes show late last year.
