My cousin Bernadette lives in San Jose with her husband and three kids. I am reminded of her because it will be her birthday this coming Sunday. I want flowers delivered in San Jose for her. It will surely make her smile.
I’ve been hearing how hectic her life is right now. Juggling work and three kids. Wow! She can surely use a lift, not that she’s miserable. I am sure she’s happy with her life. I just want to give her a break from her daily routine. Smell the flowers and all that.
Ah yes, Halloween is now less than a month to prepare for! Are you ready with your halloween costumes yet? Don’t repeat the costume you have for last year. Get something new! If you went as a witch last year, why not go as a vampire this year?
I just love Halloween! It’s not only kids who enjoy it. Adults like me get to enjoy it, too. I am expecting to get an invite from a close friend of mine who will be celebrating Halloween and her birthday at the same time. It will be a blast for sure!
Hilda owns a mini bed and breakfast. It has eight rooms. It has a very homey feel to it and Hilda makes sure that whenever the persons occupying the rooms don’t want to be disturbed, they don’t. She’s having door hangers printed. “Don’t disturb”, “For cleaning”, “Out” and “Unoccupied”. These are the door hangers she wants printed and hanging on doors of each room for occupants to choose from.
She also wants the name of the bed and breakfast, address and contact numbers printed on the door hangers. That way, the occupants won’t forget it as they will see it for the duration of their stay. Clever idea, I must say.
Katie’s baby will be christened this coming weekend. I am excited about it because I will be one of the godparents. I am getting Katie’s baby an ergo baby carrier. It’s something that they can use and that’s what I like about it.
I love shopping for babies and little kids. There’s just too many things you can buy for them! And the clothes are so cute! That’s why whenever I get to be invited as a godparent to a friend’s child, I make sure I shop plenty ahead of time.
Sandra is getting slimmer and slimmer whenever I get to see her. She told me that it’s dancing and the best weight loss supplement that a friend recommended to her. Sandra and I became friends because of dancing. She used to be the best back in college. I also love dancing, although I am not sure it loves me back. So Sandra and I became groupmates in Physical Ed for a quiz that would be done through a dance.
I am curious about the weight loss supplement, though. I am interested in taking one to help with my weight lost journey. I hope it can help me, too.
If you could take back something you did to someone, what would it be?
Turn against bgl, ayl and lvm. They were good persons, most especially ayl. I actually didn’t turn against ayl but because I hated the person who took her place, it felt like she’s the one I turned against from.
I remember making bgl smile. It was an ordinary day but a big one for their race. I was gone for the day to be with a friend. I knew he was angry but I still cracked a joke. He actually laughed! When I told someone about it, she told me that he rarely laughed like that and didn’t tolerate the same kind of answer from others. It was a running joke back then that I was actually his pet.
She was a pain in the ass. But lvm helped like no one else did when I was down. I forgot all about that when I turned against her. And all because of a damn vacation! It started with that and spiraled out of control. Those around me betrayed me and it contributed to the demise of our friendship. It was sad.
I am not a perfect person. In fact, I am far from perfect. I know I made humongous mistakes in the past. I am sure I will make more in the future. I just pray that the people I wronged or have done something wrong to will forgive me.
And if I could only take every mistake back…
Whenever I get to talk to my Tita Windy, my dad’s sister, I am reminded of the good times I had when I was a kid. She’s like a second mom to me and my siblings and cousins. She’s genuinely concerned about our welfare and is always just a phone call away to help us with anything. And I mean anything at all!
So whenever there’s something new about me, she’s one of the few persons to know right away. Like the gold coins I am about to buy. I want her to know about it because she’s always been there for me in the past when I was so down and out financially and emotionally. So now that there’s something to be happy about, I want her to know about it as well.

Whenever I’d get dizzy, I get scared. I am unhealthy. I keep telling myself to lose weight but my stubborn mind refuses to acknowledge the need. I totally eliminated soda in my life. I’ve been without it for exactly 8 months now. Hopefully it will stay that way. That’s less blood sugar for me.
I have also incorporated lots and lots of water in my daily life. I need to flush out the toxins in my body and this is my way of doing it.
What I need to also cut down on is rice. I eat rice like there’s no tomorrow! I would tell myself to just eat a cup but I always end up eating 3 cups of rice a meal! There goes the blood sugar from the eliminated soda. Rice is a big contributor to diabetes. My grandma died from complications to her diabetes. I am totally scared of being diabetic. I don’t want it to happen to me. Or to any of my friends and love ones. It’s hard being sick. It’s doubly hard if you can’t eat any regular food because of diabetes.
One of these days, I’d cut rice from my life cold turkey. I swear I will.
I ignored her tweet. Just like the way she snubbed me when she saw me at the mall with a friend. Why would I reply to her tweet, right? I no longer want to be blog-friends with her. That’s a thing of the past. She belongs to that period when I was hungry to replace the friends I lost. Not anymore.
Do you know what I realized while contemplating whether to reply to her tweet?
That I no longer have any desire to rush into any new friendship. Whereas before I really grab the opportunity to make new friends, I no longer have that desire. I am not being a snub. I just felt like if another great friend will come my way, then so be it. But I will not seek it anymore.
I realized I already have a good set of friends. 3 girls I actually meet with regularly and some other friends I see from time to time. I also have the company of my 3 sisters. And there are a handful of blogger friends I would like to be friends with until they get tired of me (ha-ha!).
I am content with that.
My dad’s sister, my favorite aunt, came to visit last Friday night. She was so excited about the gold bullion that her husband is looking into buying. Her husband availed of the early retirement package his company offered long-time employees. He took it and set up a business of his own. That was a year ago. Now, his business is thriving and doing well. He wants to invest some of its profits in gold.
My aunt told us that they are excited about it because they know of someone who made it big with buying and selling gold. Find out more about this at USGoldBureau.com. That’s where they read the information they need.

I dreamed about my ex-friend. She was helping me on something in my dream. I couldn’t recall what it was but it felt good. I haven’t talked to this ex-friend of mine for so many years already but I still think of her, and another common friend, from time to time. I actually miss them.
Even though they turned their backs on me during that time I needed them most, I still miss them.
College is the start of the path towards our careers. This is where we choose the specific path we want to trek. So before taking the plunge, make sure you get some career advice from professionals first. Learn more about the field you would want to go into. Gather information from others who took the course and are now living those lives. Know more about the career you want to be in.
I chose my course based on what my mom wanted me to take. It took me 10 years working before I realized I was in the wrong field. I enjoyed some of my jobs, most I didn’t. I can say I excelled in the positions I occupied but there was always something bothering me. When I quit 4 years ago and became a freelance consultant, it became much better for me.

I hate that I am feeling scared once again because of a loan that isn’t even mine. I have felt this way before when I was having problems with my credit cards. I used to dread getting a call from a collector or someone pretending to be a lawyer for the credit card company. I hated those days when I would just let my cellphone ring fearing it might be a collection agency asking for payment. I struggled to pay monthly bills and more so those credit card interests and finance charges. When I finally managed to pay everything three years ago, I promised myself I won’t be back in that situation again.
And then here I am right now in exactly the same position as the years past.
I would love to wring the neck of the person who put me in this position. But I know and can understand what she’s going through right now. I’ve been there. How can I condemn someone who’s been in the same situation as I?
I will find a way to solve this problem. Soon. I don’t like the feeling of dreading phone calls again.
I got a solicitation letter from one of my relatives. It’s for the schooling of a distant cousin. In the letter, it stated that she is targeting Regency, a Cosmetology School in Austin. It says that the school has a great network of placement relationships so getting a job after graduation is easier. Not to mention that students are training while on campus so in reality, the graduates of Regency are already carrying with them a wealth of experience in salon services.
I checked RegencyBeauty.com and it’s true! I have a soft spot for those who want to study but is without funds to finance it. I gave some to my cousin to use for her entry into the beauty world.
I have never been an outdoors type of person. I am a homebody. I go out to meet friends and relatives but only to lunches, dinners, coffees and to the mall. Other than that, well, there’s nothing. I don’t have a sport to play. I can play volleyball a little, I can dribble and shoot a basketball, I can ride a four-wheeled bike. But a specific sport I go out to play, nothing.
I am content this way.
I may not be clumsy but my body is better suited to sit or lay down. In other words, I am lazy! That’s why my passion is reading.
How about you?
When I am mad, you will know it. If I am happy, the whole world can see it. I can’t pretend to be fine if I feel so annoyed or irritated. That’s me.
I think I was born this way. I remember when I was still a kid and there’s an occasion where I would receive a gift, I would always tell my mom not to make me open the gift in front of the person who gave it to me. Because if it’s something I didn’t like, my disappointment would show on my face.
True enough, there were several occasions it happened. I opened a gift in front of a relative on Christmas Day. I was in my teens and the gift I got was a bath towel. Of course, I didn’t like it and they saw me frown a little and then fake a smile. I felt horrible after. Or receiving a photo album when I was 11 or 12 that time. Who would want something like that when you’re that age? Not me. And again, it manifested in my facial expression. I had no control, I tell you.
I still carry that sad trait.


It is winter where my friend is right now. She kept on telling me over our chats that she feels the cold seeping to her bones and that she feels gloomy all the time. As a way to cheer her up, I am ordering an electric blanket online to be sent to her flat. It will keep her company for when she gets too cold, especially at night.
I know how sad my friend can get. That’s why I try to cheer her up as much as I can. I know the electric blanket will make her think of the warmth of our friendship whenever she uses it.
Going to a place you haven’t been to can be quite difficult for a navigational-challenged person like me. That’s why I am really very thankful that the Global Positioning System or GPS has been created. I am going on a road trip to a place I only heard about from a friend. I am bringing the car with me and I am buying a gps navigation device for it.
Right now, I am reading some gps reviews first. I want to know which brand I will get. The gps tracking and the gps navigation software are just some of the things I would like to know more about first before hitting the store to buy one.
Someone I know is not very careful with her body. You know, abusing it by working too hard and not sleeping or resting enough. I know there are days when she just won’t go to sleep until she’ll just keel over from too much exhaustion. She’s single and young but when you look at her you’d think she’s old enough to your own mother.
Her friend, concerned about her welfare, offered to get her a Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina health plan. She needs it. She is thankful and admits that she really does abuse her body and that she might get sick one of these days. A health plan is a good way to prepare for anything that might happen to her.
I just wish that she starts taking care of her health more.
