In 1977, when I was in 1st year high school, we all had Farrah Fawcett hair! If I remember right we used to call that style “The Flip” or something. Yup, every woman had the same hair style just as everyone was glued to the local television network weekly waiting for Charlie’s Angels to show [...]

The December chill is in the air… temperatures in Baguio City have dropped to 11.8 degrees Celsius! This is so not funny. For your reference, air conditioners in Manila only go as low as 18 degrees and folks already find that too cold. Of course this is nothing compared to January this year but I [...]

The headline in the city’s Sunday ‘newspaper’ Baguio Midland Courier, of which I have a copy screams “BCDA directors affirm plan to put up CJH gambling den.” My first reaction, WHAT GOOD NEWS!
