I have put in an order for my very own Epiphanie bag, I’m going with Ginger, despite the bright attractive color of Lola. Hehe.  To remind you of how it looks like, here it is: Ginger (click the picture and check her out at their shop) To be honest, I was reluctant to place the order. 1. The site does not accept Paypal so I had to use my Credit Card. I’m not worried about using my CC; it’s just that I am buying the bag out of my online earnings. As much as possible I didn’t want to have any of my other funds going for this bag. Now I would have to withdraw from Paypal and   read more

MIA. That is me. Let’s just say that I’ve enjoyed non-verabear.net related activities lately and they’re keeping me away from posting. We should be back to regular programming sooooooon. Oh by the way, I have subscribed to my own feeds to receive an email for each post I publish. Doing so made me realize that my photos are not showing up in my feeds. I figured that it’s because I never did disable hotlinking to my images. Problem is, I need to edit my htaccess file, and I can’t find it even when I’m logged in via FTP. Grr.   read more

My blog looks sad. The first page is completely devoid of photos. None of my five recent posts have any pictures included. It’s a reflection of the sad fact that I haven’t been spending a lot of time taking photos, again. I haven’t even caught up with my Project 365, my albums in Facebook and Flickr are probably gathering dust by now… It doesn’t help any that my weekends are turning out really bad too. I was down with headache again the past 36 hours. There is one good thing that came out of this weekend though. I finished Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning   read more

I go to work after midnight, and I don’t drive. So for about four/five years, I have had to wait around for cabs to pass thru and because it’s late, there isn’t always one available right when you need it. Our house is located along inner streets and public transportation is a good 15-minute walk away, so even when I was on the day shift I would rather wait for a cab than walk under the sun. Okay I don’t always have to wait around, very rarely I am able to convince my dad to drive me to work. So anyway, around September last year I started reporting to work around 1-2   read more

I’d like to share a statement released by our Council of Bishops regarding the Morong 43. I think my mom drafted this   Freedom for the 43 Health Workers A month ago, some 300 elements of the Philippine Army and the Philippine National Police forcibly took into custody forty-three health workers from the rest house of Dr. Melecia Velmonte, a renowned and respected infectious disease specialist, a consultant at the Philippine General Hospital and a professor emeritus at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine. For a few days, they were denied visits of relatives and friends   read more

It has been very hot and humid day and night and it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I have had to live with a nagging headache and I feel the heat up right on top of my head everytime. Even while I’m in the shower, specially when the water’s not running while I shampoo or soap up. I know that everyone else all over the country and in many parts of the world are suffering through the same heat, or even worse, and I shouldn’t be complaining. I try not to, but it’s just awful. I even skipped work last night because I wasn’t (still don’t) feeling well. That’   read more

Sorry, I’m not over my bag craziness just yet I blame our client/guest for getting me bag crazy again, lol. Well no it’s not her fault really. Just before they arrived I had already seen this Coach bag that I so want to own. It’s an original and over 200 dollars. So anyway, I happened to notice the client’s bag, it was Coach and surely it was an original so I commented on it. That’s how we learned that we both had a thing for bags, and the trip to Greenhills that weekend was sealed. Apart from buying pearls, she got bags and boy was she able to get a good bargain   read more

My phone’s memory has been saying that a lot lately. I’m not sure exactly how big, but 8mp pictures take up a lot of space and my phone’s built in storage just can’t handle more of them. I keep on deleting older photos but I just can’t say goodbye to all of them, eventhough I’d already copied them onto my PC hard drive. The solution, I know, is to get a micro sd to expand the storage capacity. I just keep forgetting to buy one. Tsk. Apart from my phone complaining, today my tummy complained twice too – I’m too full! First while having a meal with   read more

I am surprised that I have not mentioned these bags before here. Ginger (click the picture and check her out at their shop) I found them awhile bag, ugh back, through Shutter Sisters, if I remember correctly. Epiphanie Bags is a line of camera bags with women in mind. Women like me who would rather have all her things in one bag with her camera than tote a separate bulky camera bag. They’re not cheap though. Definitely not. But I still want one. I would definitely spend for either one of them over a genuine Coach bag; and an Epiphanie bag costs less too!  Problem is, I don’t want   read more

That’s how much SPAM Akismet blocked on my blog since I last logged in, March 1st. A day and a half without logging onto my dashboard and that’s what greets me. Tsk. I was still technically on my off yesterday but I wasn’t able to do any of the stuff I normally do online because of a headache that just wouldn’t go away. On Monday, my tonsils were bulging! I don’t care if that isn’t the right term, I diagnosed myself anyway. I just drank lots of water and gurgled with Bactidol, hoping it would go away. It still hurt to swallow yesterday but everything was finally   read more
