Mayon volcano was known to have killed so many people when it erupted 16 years ago. But according to [...]

Wordpress released version 2.8.6 already. You can see it in your admin page. I just upgraded to version 2.8.5 and then here comes another version!

Sasha — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:44:59 +0000

People are talking about the coming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto on Sunday, November 15 (14th in the US).

There was a PR update a few days ago. Have you noticed any increase or decrease in your PR meter? Mine’s still the same. A big fat zero! What about you? I am doing my best to get back my PR but, well, no luck yet. Maybe on the next update? Calling the big G of [...]

Every year, before November 1st/going to the cemetery, we would go and buy flowers, and then my sister would arrange it. You [...]

Instead of the actual All Souls’ Day on November 2nd, people commemorate their dearly departed loved ones a day ahead, on All Saints’ Day. And because almost every one is in the different cemeteries nationwide, business-minded individuals [...]
