Growing up pictures of our puppy

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 24 Oct 18

I was not able to document the growth of my older dog Soju and I only have a few pictures of her as a pup, so I really wanted to take a monthly photo of our puppy Banchan. (Her name is a Korean word meaning side dish, and the...

Any questions?

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 18 Jul 12

Oftentimes, my nostrils flare in annoyance and I bite my lips when in a meeting or seminar at work because of the kind of questions certain people ask. For example, while in a seminar conducted by our new health care...

The TV Contest Where I am most Likely to Win

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 5 Jul 12

I asked my partner if he thought the pair of us win in Survivor. He said no. I asked about The Amazing Race. He said no. I am slow, clumsy, and I can't catch a ball to save my life, that's why. I kept asking him about reality...

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 16 Nov 11

This is a problem I've been having with Tan lately. He lost his job on the first of this month. While I understand that it is a frustrating situation, I am even more frustrated than him, since he busies himself with things other...

Cross the street because we're not in the US!

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 27 Oct 11

As a general rule, I wait for the "green man" or the WALK sign to flash before crossing the street---always. I do this even when the street is clear. Many times, I have experienced that another person was going to cross the...

BLAST FROM THE PAST:Does Anybody Remember the Girlband BARDOT?

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 6 Mar 08

Their song "I Should've Never Let You Go" is one of my favorite songs of all time, but when I ask people, nobody seems to remember Bardot. The group is composed of five women, and one of them has short spiky hair. Anybody...

BLAST FROM THE PAST:Does anybody remember the boyband 911?

Katie Vasquez @katcarneo (1433) • Philippines 6 Mar 08

Their hits include "Love Sensation" and "Bodyshakin'." Their lead singer looked an awful lot like Michael J. Fox---that's why I got to liking them in the first place. They were famous when I was in gradeschool. Anybody else...
