Clare, PLim, and Good Guys in Government 

August 3, 2015 By Tammy Leave a Comment

A good number have joined the government over the past few years, determined to making things better (and […]

Naga X Marks the Spot

March 27, 2013 By Tammy Leave a Comment

X Marks the Spot

As fireworks lit the sky on that beautiful clear night, I thought to myself, the Naga X launch was a fitting celebration for the recent milestones in our married life – a way to celebrate one year since we started our travel business and two years since we moved to Naga City.

Dear J, Be Proud of Naga

Our Little Nagueno

These letters to our children are also reminders for us. That we remember how we want to raise them – to love God, country, neighbour. Here is our attempt at what Ate Anna W. calls “Patriotic Parenting”, and bringing up Faithful fellows. Here’s hoping J will always be proud of Naga City, his hometown. To Our […]
