Serendipity
the lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chance

A collection of essays, articles and photos alternately celebrating and griping about life in the Philippines, and about looking at the world through Filipino eyes.

Dedicated to everyone who wishes to understand the Pinoy psyche. May you have an added insight on what makes the Filipino tick and why life in this archipelago of over 7,000 islands is never dull.

These articles were first published online in 1997 and were dormant for the last two years until Apr. 5, 2003 with a new look. Several articles have either been restored or taken out according to the whims of the author-webmaster.

Buhay Pinoy, Atbp

The ups and downs of living in the Philippines, from reckless drivers, neighbors from hell, to Pinoy humor, and fundraising.

Saksak Sinagul

A hodge-podge of the works, views and essays by other people, also delving into the Filipino quirks, values and culture

Usapa Na

Postings

From the Independent Post - Cebu's one and only weekly broadsheet by a news cooperative. It closed later.

Travel & Adventure

Island hopping in Surigao, rappelling in Cebu, river trekking in Leyte, food-tripping in Bacolod plus the oft and less traveled roads in Malaysia, Hong Kong-Macau and the U.S.
