		<title>The Secret: Fearlessness applied daily</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That was the latest deodorant tagline I saw while surfing for news on Winter Olympics. I thought it was cool to use it here. It was relevant.
I have been hearing about the book and movie called &#8220;The Secret&#8221; for the past two years. It was a bestselling self-help book and movie with a catchy title [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pacquiao sings in Jimmy Kimmel Live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Manny Pacquiao sure did enjoy himself there with Jimmy Kimmel&#8217;s band and an audience chanting his name. It was fun to watch him belt out an old George Benson song, &#8220;Nothing&#8217;s Gonna Change My Love For You&#8221;, and you probably wondered if it was meant for Jinkee. Or Krista. But who cares? Everyone enjoyed watching [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tito Red turns 5 this month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That lazy orange cat we all call Tito Red is turning 5 this month. We thought it was appropriate to celebrate his birthday together with Buboy, his official masseur. We can&#8217;t remember the exact date when he decided to live with us. He just came around as small hungry reddish kitty who stayed outside our [...]]]></description>

		<title>World&#8217;s 10 strongest earthquakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While we were partying at home, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook South America with its epicenter in Chile. Tsunami created by this quake threatens to wash over the islands in the Pacific Ocean, including Japan and the Philippines in 24-hour time frame. Warnings have been issued to the residents of low-lying areas, particularly those who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orchard Road: Singaporean food at its best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That very familiar spot along SM Megamall&#8217;s bridgeway is now home to a 250-seater hawker center whose often busy open kitchen draws in curious passersby. The thrill of flames and clanking woks of this place called Orchard Road are distinct reminders of Singapore&#8217;s hawker centers, along with a variety of authentic regional Asian dishes prepared [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andrew Garcia: My new AI pick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Wow.
That was my reaction when I played his &#8220;Straight Up&#8221; Hollywood piece. It was a Paula Abdul original but Andrew Garcia turned it around into something that made everyone gasped. Because it was oh so good you won&#8217;t believe your ears. Even Simon was floored by his performance, &#8221; “The only person who’s walked through [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s goodbye to SOP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
GMA 7&#8217;s SOP (Sobrang Okey, Pare) will have its final episode this Sunday, February 28, after 13 years of live Sunday noontime entertainment. SOP lost the ratings war to ABS-CBN&#8217;s ASAP over the past few months.
I used to be an SOP fan, until the program&#8217;s format slowly became boring and predictable. The program simply stopped [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belated Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If it weren&#8217;t for the humongous EDSA traffic yesterday, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to watch the movie &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221; in Megamall. Not that it was a great movie. It was an okay movie that allowed room for a few laughs and  twinkling thoughts about the beloved. The best part was I had the whole [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you can&#8217;t run, walk.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dropped by the gym I used to frequent many years ago to revive an old health routine. I was glad to meet Tessa (yes, we both remembered each other) and I signed up for a one-year program. The lifetime membership was way way beyond my current budget. 
Here&#8217;s the shocking thing. I found out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eat Pancit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Note: I just had pancit for my nth birthday today. So I decided to write about it.
It has been a family tradition to have Pancit in every celebration &#8211; from birthdays to Halloween parties. Mind you, there are varieties of Pancit out there to choose from &#8211; bihon, canton, sotanghon, malabon, and recently the cup [...]]]></description>
