Entertained by neighbors fighting
In our neighborhood, even if you don’t go out that much like me, you will know what is happening in their households. You know how? By just being inside your house while they’re fighting like cats and dogs, airing their dirty laundry for the whole neighborhood to hear. Imagine waking up this afternoon after two [...]
My wishlist
I have so many things I like to get on my birthday. A new cellphone, new books(!), a home theater system, a Mac Air, a Sony Vaio and a slew of small items that will keep me happy. I would also be happy to get a roundtrip ticket to any city in Italy! I am [...]
Our shopaholic at home
My sister, V, is the shopaholic in the family. She has a closet of her own and even shares two closets with us. Every payday, she will bring home a pair of shoes or a new bag or new clothes. She just can’t help herself. Storage space is a problem for us because our house [...]

Paranoid

Me and Mommyhood
I feel as if I have become a mom four times over. Even when my mom was still alive, I have acted as my siblings surrogate mom, especially when it comes to their schooling.
