Lea Salonga: On the Way to Motherhood

I’ve been in love with Lea Salonga since she was singing Tomorrow as little Annie and even more when she ended up crooning The last Night of the World upon making it to the London Original Cast of Miss Saigon in 1989. A stint which paved her way to international stardom, the rest as […]

Lanzones Festival

If you check out WOW Philippines’ Calendar of Events, you’ll notice that we seem to be a country that can’t get enough festivities. Amongst the many, there are only a few that catches my attention, including Lanzones Festival at Camiguin Island: 20-24 October 2005.

Death-related Family Customs

If not for my father’s recent passing, I wouldn’t have been subjected to many customs, traditions and rituals that needed to be observed all at once. Even if I grew up with too many of them, I’ve always been snooty of most practices (customs, rituals, traditions: whichever you prefer to call it) particularly if it […]

Kris Aquino: Stripped

Kris Aquino is not really one of my favorite personalities but I don’t hate her either. I am just amazed, surprised and even shocked how someone of her lineage and breeding can be so caught-up in the blinding lights of show business while wearing her heart on her sleeves.
