Blog Hack & A Wedding

Sonnie — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 14:47:45 +0000

Finally, this blog is up and kicking again after 2 or 3 days in hiatus. This site was hacked and malicious scripts were injected to it’s root folders resulting to missing php’s. Thanks to Jez for his assistance.

As you probably noticed, Sonnie’s Porch was in semi-hibernate mode for about 2 weeks, providing only short updates and picture sharing. Blame it to budget preparation and business planning, blogging & work, at times, don’t blend well. I hope [...]

Shaken To The Core

Sonnie — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:52:55 +0000

I am not talking about the global economy, which I planned to blog about with the recent effect of the crisis to Asian markets and currencies.

Rather, I’m referring to myself who was rattled when our little princess was admitted to a hospital for suspected dengue fever. If confirmed, she’s the first case in our condo/community. I also suspected that she was bitten by a dengue carrying mosquito in their school, where my daughter spent 60% of [...]

Are You (Still) In Love?

Sonnie — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:27:51 +0000

6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

- Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) 8:6-7

Sometimes, when couples [...]

Please Pray For My Mom

Sonnie — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:51:50 +0000

I just arrived home from the hospital where my mom is under observation. She looked stable but still in pain. Doctors said what happened is an effect of a stroke she experienced long time ago. It appears like another stroke, but it was not, doctors say it’s a convulsion or something.

While I believe on the wonders of science and medicine, I equally believed too on the goodness and the power of God. I will greatly appreciate if you can include [...]

Come To Papa

Sonnie — Sun, 04 May 2008 00:18:48 +0000

My son’s 11th birthday is just 2 weeks away, it seems like yesterday, we just observed his 1st birthday. For purposes of convenience, we held the party then in a kiddie restaurant so the birthday party favors and party supplies will not be a problem. As if the thought of having a party is not yet a good reason to celebrate, our son even made his first steps on his own giving us more reason to celebrate.

My son’s [...]

Happy Wife = Happy Life

Sonnie — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:57:16 +0000

Building your own love nest is a work in progress.

And when it comes to the interior design of our place, wifey is in charge. I submit to Mrs. Sonnie’s Porch on this matter since, IMO, part of a woman’s sense of security and happiness comes from having her very own nest. And based on her plan, we decided to redesign our kids room based on their future requirements as pre-teens. The redesign include the fixtures and Kids Bedding.

Speaking [...]

Winning By Losing

When we were at Baguio, wifey requested to visit a shop known for it’s hand crafted designer jewelry products. Even though I have no interest on any kind of jewelries, and I don’t take pleasure on shopping, I joined them and gave my thoughts on the items they think they liked, until wifey and daughter made their choice.

You may ask “why waste your time on things that is bloody boring, isn’t it unproductive?” I agree it’s boring but it’s [...]

It’s Wifey’s Birthday

Sonnie — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:03:52 +0000

Am bad at remembering names and birthdays, I even keep a short list of birthdays of close friends, staffs, and relatives. But there is one birthday, that I keep in mind, no it’s not my birthday but my wife’s. Her birthday is fast approaching and I’m (window) shopping, both on-line and by visiting malls to find a suitable gift.

In countries in the west, 1800flowers is available to make shopping for flowers and other gifts easier. They even launched [...]

Ploning

Sonnie — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:01:00 +0000

No, don’t think it’s a new jologs term for crazy, but it’s the title of an indie movie named after the main character. The film set to be shown in local theaters this summer, will also have a roadshow in Singapore, Dubai, London and New York City.

I received an email about 2 days ago from a fellow blogger. I don’t know him personally, but I think what they’re advocating is something that is worth supporting. Promoting the country as a [...]

Of Love and Marriage

Sonnie — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:01:15 +0000

Today is valentines, friends are asking where we intend to have a romantic dinner, I said it’ll be in a room surrounded by mirrors

Boy, it will be expensive to go for a date today (and a little bit korni too).

Anyway, allow me to share my thoughts about love and marriage. I have been married for almost 16 years, the courtship goosebumps are no longer there, and love has evolved from a mere emotion to a commitment.

Marriage is more [...]
