Category: Pieces of Chii’s Cake

My wife and I at Skydeck, Chicago

So it’s been more than three years since I last updated this site. Looking back, certainly a lot has happened. I read somewhere that it’s important to create something everyday. Whether that be drawing something, painting something, building something or just writing something down. I read that piece awhile ago, but for some reason, it just came back into my mind tonight, and I guess it’s time to start creating again. So like I said, a lot has happened/changed since…

Hi blog readers! Gosh, I really have been absent from the blogosphere for awhile… I have to apologize for that, but I’ve had a pretty busy couple of months.  A previous WordPress update pretty much left my entire blog in pieces and I didn’t really have time to try and alter and fix it until now.  A few months later after the crash I finally have some time to actually do that. Now this is a previous layout that I’ve…

Okay, so not really, but it HAS been awhile since I’ve blogged and I thought that now would be a good time to update you all on what I’ve been up to. Of course, the last time I put up a blog it was to say that it was almost Christmas time and I was about to fly back to NY. Well now I’m back in the Philippines getting back to the grind. But I thought I should summarize what…

Yes guys, guess WHAT TIME IT IS? It’s almost time for Christmas! Can you believe it? In just 7 more days it will be Christmas. And guess what? I’m in the airport right now about to leave for Hong Kong and then I go on a direct flight to New York City. I’m again sorry for not posting in awhile. I’ve been busy with Christmasey stuff. Christmas parties, gift-wrapping, final exams and the like. I’ve had to deal with a…

Hey guys, Right now I’m in a resort in Anilao, Batangas, Philippines waiting for breakfast to be served. I have a cup of coffee on my right and am typing this on my netbook right now. The view at this time is pretty amazing. It’s 7am and the water looks pretty calm and the sky is pretty blue and the cloud are flying by. We have another dive trip soon, and will be making a total of 2 today at…

This past Saturday, November 20th, was my birthday. My 25th birthday to be exact. I didn’t mention this fact in previous posts because I initially did not really want to make my birthday a big deal. The fact of turning a quarter of a century did not seem like a big milestone to me… in fact, I kind of was embarrassed since I was getting so old. But I realized that it was still something to celebrate and that getting…

Looks Yummy!

Hey guys! I’ve gotta lot of work to do, but I wanted to share a recipe that I found from Lynn over at the Actor’s Diet. Check out the blog when you have a chance! In the last few days she posted about a wonderfully simple but really delicious Mediterranean salad, and so yesterday I decided to try it out. You can read the blog about her making this salad here, but I wanted to show you my version of…

So while having dinner tonight I decided that my blog site should look a little different. Don’t really know why I thought it should have a new layout, but I decided to go for it since it’s been something that’s been in the back of my head recently. I like the site the way it is, but I guess I just wanted to do a little tweaking and see what I could come up with. So there you go… a…

After writing my last post I was compelled to do more research on the subject. While watching the Nickelodeon series of Avatar: The Last Airbender I recognized a familiar voice, a voice of a Filipino-American actor who has been a somewhat famous Asian American star in the past. He is Dante Basco and was the voice of Prince Zuko in the cartoon series, the estranged Fire Nation prince. He had a lot to say about the “boycott” that is going…

What a rainy day today! Earlier this morning I went out to pick up some food and earlier this afternoon my Pathology groupmates Belle and James came over to complete a report on blood smears and examination of red blood cells. But now it’s totally pouring. I heard a strike of thunder and then the sky started crying. I guess it’s the start of the Philippines’ rainy season. Recently, I’ve been watching a cartoon series called Avatar: The Last Airbender…

Hey everybody! I thought I’d fill you guys in on what’s been happening with me these last few weeks, as I haven’t been around the last month to really say anything here. I’ve kind of been on a hiatus of sorts during that time, and wherever I used to be active online I wasn’t for that time period (sorry to all my readers and to those at WGSpectacle — mianhe) As you all probably know, I ended my summer classes…

Funny how things change within a few days. One day you’ll be happy talking to someone and the next thing you know it you’ll have a surprise confrontation come up out of nowhere. I deal with different people everyday and it’s amazing how some of them can change in the blink of an eye. Sometimes you think you know someone and then all of a sudden you see this side to them you never saw before. Things as simple as…
