Rest in Fins

Our long-time “receptionist”, Angelina the Pouty Flowerhorn died this morning. “She” was, more or less, 7 years old. Not bad for a fish. We bought “her” at a nearby pet store in 2005 when “she” was only slightly bigger than a danggit. In less than a year, she ballooned to 3 times “her” size, thus, we had to replace “her” aquarium. Now, about the name. See, we never really bothered to know “her” actual sex and “she” remained nameless all this time. It was only early last year when my cousin from Australia came to visit, saw the fish and said, … Continue reading Rest in Fins

Hello again, Cebu.

chuckiechavez

Currently in Cebu to cover the TV5’s Sugod Mga Kapatid Sa Sinulog event. We arrived in the city at 7:00am. Which means I didn’t have enough time to get ample shuteye. Actually, that one-hour flight was my one shot at salvaging some sleep. Unfortunately, I was seated in front of that one-man snore-chestra. Could have sworn he was almost as loud as the engine. Breakfast was hardly Cebuano: Breakfast platter from Bo’s Coffee. …Either way, this should be enough to keep me up and about within the next few hours.  Today will be jam-packed with activities. I’ll be covering a … Continue reading Hello again, Cebu.
