From mom
My mom would always tell us to wear nice and matching underwear when going out of the house. She had this fear of being in an emergency and the paramedics or the nurses would find her wearing disgusting undies. The same goes for lingeries that she wore at night. Her fear that a fire would [...]
Rain in summer
It’s raining even though it’s summer here in the country. I often feel sluggish because of it. But then it’s a blessing because with the unbearable heat from the past weeks, a cool breeze here and there is great. It would have been better if I can book a room at a Suburban extended stay [...]
Safe area for walking
This place we were looking at is conducive to walking. You can walk around the block and feel safe. There are barangay tanods patrolling the area 24/7. You can even walk down the street with a Bob stroller and still feel safe that no car will bump you and your baby off. It will be [...]
Ranting Much
It seems that I am ranting and ranting for quite a few weeks now. I haven’t been saying thanks that much. I am seeing the negative more and more. I am preaching about being positive, not noticing that I am doing the exact opposite. I am chastising my sister for always frowning when I am [...]
Love her!
I love Sandra Brown’s novels. It is contemporary and yet she gives you a glimpse of what it was like in Texas before. You can have a feel of Dallas Texas hotels, landmarks, lifestyle and everything related to the place. I love how her novels can be sexy and explicit at times but then it’s [...]
Stressful
Living with a sick love one can be stressful. I should know, I’ve been in that situation twice already. There are so many scary diseases popping out of nowhere and affecting so many people that you just have to make sure you are prepared to take anything life throws at you. Leukemia, rare diseases, mesothelioma, [...]
Healthcare plan
Health is wealth. We all know that. We already lost two members of the family due to sickness so we know that taking care of one’s health is very important. I am really doing my best to save up for a healthcare plan like the one being offered at Blue Advantage. Hopefully, before the second [...]
Life’s a joke!
There are days when you feel like life is making a joke out of you. You’ve worked so hard for something only to be presented with another great obstacle that will hinder you achieving the one you are working so hard for. Make sense? I just hate it when I get a slap. A wake [...]
Cleaning tools
A cousin of mine has asthma and a heart condition. My aunt would always clean her house in the morning, while my cousin is still sleeping and his room is closed. She will be buying this steam cleaner to add to her growing number of cleaning tools at home. Anything to make sure that my [...]
When traveling
My sisters and I love traveling. One of my sisters is very particular when we’re choosing accommodations. We need to check out the unique hotels in the area first before going for the popular ones. She loves staying in those kind of hotels because according to her, we get to experience new things rather than [...]
Knobbly knees
I was looking at my knees this morning after taking a bath. Both were sporting folds! Ha! Ha! ha! Unlike my sister who has knobs as her knees. Mine’s hidden behind folds. Sigh. I know I am overweight. That’s why my knees are like that. Hopefully, if and when I get to step up and [...]
Credit standing
Someone I know had problems with her credit cards before. As a result, she had difficulty getting financial services from banks and private financing companies. She is asking a professional to help her with credit report services. I also had problems before with my finances and had trouble with a well-known credit card facility in [...]
Good to see him!
When you see an old friend you haven’t seen in years, what would you do? Blurt out about insurance lead generation! I don’t know why he did but that’s what he told me about. His work. Before he told me about his personal life. I was actually laughing about it when we went our separate [...]
Holy Week…
It’s over! It’s a little bit quiet for me the past Holy Week. I mostly stayed at home and lazed around. I realized that when all my siblings are at home, I cannot concentrate on my work. I just took advantage of the holidays to bond with them. We went on our annual Visita Iglesia [...]
Gadgets
I love gadgets! Aside from books, I save up for gadgets. I may not be that technically-inclined but I keep myself updated with the latest. For the past few months now, I’ve been keeping my eye on Sony Vaio. That’s what I want right now. Of course, I already have a notebook at home but [...]
Mazda 3
My brother is always telling me how much he likes Mazda 3. The car looks sleek and it’s something that most guys his age would probably drive. We’ve been seeing one everywhere we go and I must admit, it really does look beautiful. I would want one for myself as well. If only I have [...]
Family guy
A family friend recently lost his job. He worked for a thrift bank that closed shop due to bankruptcy, which in turn was caused by bad investments. He is frustrated with what happened especially now that her wife just gave birth three months ago. He is currently looking for investment banker jobs and I am [...]
My heart
Sometimes, it feels like I am in need of an AED. My heart just can’t take anymore heartaches… My brother got embroiled in another trouble. This time, he’s not the one who started it but the one who put a stop to someone’s bullying. He was being bullied by this street kid whenever they see [...]
Women…
When in doubt, always follow what your instinct tell you to do. In the past, I’ve been known to go against it and had been in trouble because of it. But, in those situations, I can say that it’s just my stubbornness in action. I know, deep down, what my instincts tell me. As I’ve [...]
Depression
When depression sets in, most women tend to focus their attention on food. I speak from experience. There was a couple of periods in my past that I got depressed and would eat more than usual. The high that I got from eating somehow blocked the worries and the sad thoughts getting in my mind. [...]
