Kat's Notebook

Last year, there was news that the Japan Tourism Board is planning to give away free 10000 flights to foreigners visiting Japan for 2012. Well…it’s not going to happen. Darn. I am hoping I would be awarded one those tickets. According to an article, the reasons for this not happening are: Why the change of [...]

Growing up I have a love-hate perspective with my birthday being too close on Christmas. I love it that the happy feeling I have during Christmas goes on all the way to my birthday. I love that my birthday is on a school break. Then I hate it that my birthday is many times overlooked [...]

After sporting curls for 6 months, I  decided to go back to straight. I went to where else, but Tony and Jackey Buendia for my rebond. I loved their work. Unfortunately the senior stylist Ria was transferred to another branch so I got Mika instead. I also requested for Olive, the assistant who took care [...]

Going back to Manila, I wouldn’t miss the opportunity of having my hair fixed again at Tony and Jackey. I have had successful results with them in the past. I haven’t done any hair styling in the US ever since I had it done in Tony and Jackey. And that’s saying, it’s a very long [...]

I’m officially getting into the SF Giants bandwagon. I’m never a big fan of a sport or sport team except David Beckham but this year, things are turning up for our hometown baseball team, the San Francisco Giants. They’ve been having a good season: they won the play-offs and now they’re in the world series [...]

I’m normally not a queasy person but I don’t know what happened to me as I got older, I have been more finicky about health issues – particularly my oral health. Being in the dental profession, I should be more confident since I know the physiology of it all. I take great care of my [...]

I have been driving for more or less 4 years already (yup I’m a late bloomer) here in the US and I like how rules and traffic laws are maintained by drivers. It’s easier to drive here than in the Philippines where cars are not only bumper to bumper but door to door. The roads [...]
