Kid Campaigner. Idol!

A few days ago, I caught a news segment on BBC featuring how a little girl from Scotland, Martha Payne, was able to gather enough donations online, through her blog, to fund several kitchens in Malawi to provide breakfast for hundreds of schoolchildren.

This is Martha showing the front page of her blog - neverseconds - which started it all.


And this is Martha in Malawi, together with some of the school kids who benefited from her campaign.



What an inspiring person, Martha is. And at such a young age! She really makes me want to do something similar for our own kababayans.

FREE CONCERT at Kyusi! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

What wonderful news! A free concert for a cause! All we need to bring are donations (in cash or in kind) to be given to the victims of Typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan Cities. 

I am so going! And I'm bringing my Family... my Posse... and my Boo.

Tara! 

Plus, cute pa ng name ng event :-)

Biking Quezon City (coming soon!)

I've been eyeing the extensive Bike Lanes in Quezon City -- especially the one going around and inside the QC Memorial Circle and the one criss-crossing the UP-Diliman Campus -- for several months already and have finally acted on the urge... nay, the need, that had been welling-up inside me all those months: I've bought me a rockin Mountain Bike! Sweet!


Just you wait, kyusi bike lanes… once I buy the requisite safety gear (and kikay bike-accoutrements, shemps!), I’m gonna hit the ground running… erm, spinning pala.

Tara! Bike Tayo! J

Yay! The good Mayor is Gay! :-)

Congratulations to Klaus Wowereit for winning his Third Term as Mayor of Berlin! Openly Gay and a Social Democrat to boot, Klaus inspires me no end.

No to Discrimination! Yes to honest public service!

Our own "still-in-the-closet" politicians can definitely learn a thing or two from him.
