		<title>Blogging: Things to remember when you go public</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since blogging platforms have been invented, almost everyone can now get published online. Gone were the days when writing was limited only to wordsmiths with Palanca awards or a list of accolades gathered from middle school contests to prestigious college papers. Today, even jejemons can start a blog. There’s nothing wrong about people blogging their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disaster before Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone was in the middle of a shopping frenzy and partying, and Supreme Court battle, when the news of calamity broke. It&#8217;s alright to spend on the latest gadget, argan oil, a Burberry perfume or a new party dress and be able to share something. If not, that&#8217;s a battle only you can answer. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Card-making: A new hobby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just started investing on a Canon Pixma printer and a couple of art materials for card-making &#8211; watercolor, that cutting pad, a couple of brushes and some textured paper. It was really tempting to buy scrapbooking supplies, but then I thought, the work wouldn&#8217;t be considered an original. I prefer something that people [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Clash of Kings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because I couldn&#8217;t wait for April 2012, I bought George R.R. Martin&#8217;s second book, A Clash of Kings. Mind you, the paperback wasn&#8217;t that expensive at P312. You can even find a good deal buying a set at a price similar to that of a paperless office software. Just in case you&#8217;re thinking to gift [...]]]></description>

		<title>A game of thorns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Season 2 of the Emmy-award winning HBO series &#8220;A Game of Thrones&#8221; is 4 months away. It will be back on spring, April 2012, while in the story, from where we had left it, winter was about to visit the north. Ned Stark (Sean Bean) was dead, leaving behind him a family that was torn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am typically a laidback person who doesn&#8217;t like complications, frills and thrills, and yeah, dragging myself to some party venue to socialize. It is not that I am being anti-social. I just dislike crowded places. But since Christmas is a season of endless parties, I had to exercise my ability to socialize, albeit lazy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let there be light</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After quite a long wait and yeah, grumbling for a month, finally, the Christmas lights at the village were up shining, shimmering and splendid! (Okay, that sounds too much already.) The Christmas lights came quite late this season. Last year, the gate was already glittering by first week of November giving everyone an early Christmas [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shopping and a bad massage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t expect to get into an early Christmas shopping after an early morning meeting on a holiday. Since I was done with all office errands as early as 9AM, looking for things to keep me occupied until 10 landed me to David&#8217;s Salon in Ayala and had my hair treatment. The current collection of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enchanted night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The family was at Enchanted Kingdom last Halloween, to celebrate not the dead but the 4-day weekend. I haven&#8217;t been to the theme park for the last 6 years. So far, the management has not wrote off their list those rides I marked &#8220;scary&#8221; before &#8211; Anchors Away where I almost fainted and the Log [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four hours of tragedy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My weekend was apparently spent on watching tragic love stories, all complementing the glum weather outside. I am not exactly a sucker for romance movies, but I get to appreciate those that have been infused with comic/humor. I have always liked and adored &#8220;Confessions of a Shopaholic&#8221; (Isla Fisher), &#8220;My Bestfriend&#8217;s Wedding&#8221; (Julia Roberts), &#8220;Leap [...]]]></description>
