I’m one of those hopeless romantics who will be following the live coverage of the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29.

It can now be told. A blogger-friend just proposed to another blogger-friend in the most amazing, romantic, unlikely place. And she said YES! Jay and Aileen are now officially engaged! And the moment happened away from Manila — in Davao — at a zipline — in the presence of other bloggers. Flashback to a couple …

(NOTE: The comment box is now closed.) How do you keep the romance burning in your marriage? If the spark had gone out, how did you rekindle it?

Yesterday, I took off from my usual lunch-at-the-office routine to walk over to Grappas, an Italian resto in Greenbelt 3. The occasion? A 20-year-some reunion with Nookie Ira, a dear friend from school days in the States. It’s funny how you suddenly realize how many years have gone by and yet when you meet up …

As I write this post, I still do not know what will become of Raul, our dear friend in the States, who has been in a coma, brain dead, and fighting for dear life. A month after their family arrived in the States, happy to have Cynthia (Raul’s wife) start her new work assignment there, …

Following on the heels of my previous post on wrapping books, here is a how-to video on folding a shirt. This is for all my mommy blogger-friends, especially Cess, who just conquered a pile of laundry the other day. On second thought, those who are still single will also benefit from this video… The first …
