As I am typing this blog, the countdown for the shuttle launch reads 12:34:14…and counting. I will just be one of the spectators who will be driving up northeast to see this once in a lifetime opportunity, but judging from my anxiety right now I felt like I am part of the crew.  I [...]

It rained today in Lakewood Ranch- something that I personally would have wanted to  experience at home.  But since it took place on a weekday, I was inside the hotel not even mindful that it was already pouring outside by mid-afternoon.

the usual rigmarole

March 13, 2007chrissaire No Comments »

I was glued in front of the television set earlier tonight to update myself with the current events of the country. As expected, fifty percent of the newscast was devoted on the upcoming elections. There was nothing special about the news and the progress of the election campaign. I must admit that other than the [...]
