Dreaming wide awake
How I’d love to go on a vacation right now. I believe panama city sounds very promising to me at the moment. I want to go to the beach and soak in the sun and listen to the waves crashing to the shore. Or just simply reading a good book and sipping a glass of [...]
Reprimanded
We normally get communion invitations on the third or last week of November. Locally, First Communions are celebrated on the first week of December. I am not sure if this is the practice elsewhere but here, that’s how we do things. I remember the first time I tasted the wine. I showed my tongue to [...]
Mother hen
My sister is working even at home. She is currently checking for promotional products for their summer campaign launch. Back in 2006, my sister took a one year break from work. It did her so much good and she came back refreshed and ready to take on the world. When you see her now, she’s [...]
Old sad woman
Truth be told, I fear I will become an old sad woman in the future. I’ve seen it happen to some relatives. Not content with life. There’s so much unfinished business to attend to. Too many regrets.

Organized home
I don’t think we can ever have a clean and organized house. What with all my sisters’ things from school or the little girl’s toys or my other sister’s clothes… even when we do a general cleaning, expect the organized look to stay for only a few hours. And then the little girl will start [...]
Old fool
I hate how my dad reacts when we correct him. He either ignores it like he doesn’t hear anything or he would sulk! He’s 53 for crying out loud! Do we really need to correct him all the time? He still smokes a lot and drinks a lot when he knows he has heart problems. [...]
The worries never end
My grand-aunt called up this morning while I was still asleep. She told my dad that my grandma, my mom’s mom, is not eating much these past few days. When she eats, the food goes back up. Of course, when my dad relayed the news to me, I started worrying. My grandma is a diabetic. [...]
