Make ’em, break ’em...make ’em anyway
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - January 1, 2006 - 12:00am
We should all take a cue from President Arroyo. She may not have been successful so far in keeping her annual new year’s resolution to curb her temper, but she still makes the resolution anyway. In a recent...
Sunday at the movies
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - January 30, 2005 - 12:00am
I completely missed the movies of the last Metro Manila Film Festival, traffic, cooking and an impossible schedule keeping me away from the theaters. Therefore it was a welcome invitation I received a couple of weeks...
And so it is Christmas
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - December 19, 2004 - 12:00am
It’s barely a week to Christmas and in many ways, it isn’t even beginning to look or feel like Christmas.
If I had my life to live over
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - October 3, 2004 - 12:00am
That was the title of Erma Bombeck’s book based on her hugely popular syndicated column. The piece below, which found its way to me as one of those pass-on-to-five-people-and-something-good-will-happen-to-you...
Mr. C’s 10+1
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - September 19, 2004 - 12:00am
There were 14 speeches at the recent Gawad CCP Para sa Sining awards: 12 from awardees and two from the organizers. Most of the former were heartfelt thank you’s. Many recalled humble beginnings, sentimental...

It was, Ambassador Francis Ricciardone said, not a major foreign policy affair, just a time to have some fun.
Are we, or aren’t we?
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - August 29, 2004 - 12:00am
In crisis, that is. Fiscal crisis.
Beware the hungry ghosts
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - August 15, 2004 - 12:00am
The seventh lunar month starts tomorrow, and that means a month without weddings or engagements within the Tsinoy community. That is because the seventh month is when the ghosts roam among the living, let out from...
Remember the "locoslators"
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - March 9, 2003 - 12:00am
Okay, they’ve scored a breakthrough (that’s the word as I write this) and it looks like the AMLA should make the grade after all. Whew. I belong to what I believe is the majority of Filipinos who will...
Seeing Orange
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - March 2, 2003 - 12:00am
Orange pylons have sprouted all over the streets of Metro Manila like proverbial mushrooms as the MMDA attempts to re-invent traffic in the metropolis. Intersections are blocked, lanes are re-configured, directions...
Newsroom Humor
by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - January 19, 2003 - 12:00am
A lot more than sifting through the news, copy editing and proof-reading goes on in our newsroom. Very often the weight of the day’s bad news is lightened by an irreverent remark thrown into the cauldron, or...
Talk of Good Things 2

by NOTES FROM THE EDITOR By Singkit - November 24, 2002 - 12:00am
