The Sisterhood of the Orange and White Checkered Uniform
Time really flies fast. The month of January is about to end and early in the month, my beloved alma mater (Institucion Teresiana, Poveda Learning Centre, St. Pedro Poveda College - whichever name you wish to call it) celebrated its 50th year while Batches 1984 (my batch!) and 1985 celebrated their 25th year or silver jubilee.

The Year That Was: 2009
A grace-filled new year to all the readers and visitors of viloria.com. The year 2009 was a non-writing year for me: I blogged less, wrote less. I guess that is what happens with age. Sleeping became my favorite activity, more favored than eating, shopping, traveling, reading, and yes, even writing.

A Blessed Christmas Everybody!
I am sorry for being silent for this long. My life has just gotten so busy that there is hardly any time to write. Add to that the fact that I am no longer as young as I used to be so late at night, or early in the morning (which is when I used to write), I am already very sleepy. Or attending to a whole lot of other things. You get the picture.

Superman's Name is Efren
There's this old Pinoy joke that asks what Superman's or Clark Kent's real name is. Efren daw. Why Efren? In the first Superman movie, Margot Kidder, who plays Lois Lane, asks Superman: "Who are you?" To which Christopher Reeve, who plays Superman answered: "A friend" (In Filipino: Efren). Kaya Efren nga.

Ondoy and I
One Wednesday or Thursday morning, after Typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila on September 26, 2009, our family's gardener, Mang J greeted me with his usual: "Good morning, Ma'am," with a smile. He did not report for work the Saturday before so I asked: "Kumusta kayo?" (How are you?)

A Fair To Remember
I think I never saw as much rainfall in my whole lifetime as yesterday. Where were you on September 26, 2009 when the Philippines was battered by Typhoon Ondoy?

One for the Books
I never thought life could get this busy. The past few weeks have been packed and the coming days full that when I get home, all I want to do is help the kids with schoolwork and go to sleep. My schedule has taken its toll on my blogging and writing life and although am surviving, am not exactly that happy.

Ilocos Norte Trip
In April 2009 of this year, our family went to Ilocos Norte (yup, just Ilocos Norte - Ilocos Sur and Pagudpud are reserved for other times) for our annual vacation. My kids don't like long road trips (actually, my husband and I don't too as we feel you save time and are less tired when you fly) so we took a Cebu Pacific flight to and from Laoag.

Ang Kapatiran: A Fund Raising Dinner for Political Evangelization
Do you already know whom you will be voting for as president of the Philippines in the upcoming 2010 elections? I don't. I only know whom I will not be voting for. That is usually easier.
