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. I’m one of those people with too many what-if’s in life. Too many what-might-have-beens. Trust me, I try [...]
Be responsible!
My cousin is a teenage dad. He’s already 18 and has a less than a year old baby girl. Since he needs to support his kid, he plans on enrolling in a medical assistant training school so he can work right away. I don’t condone the teen pregnancy but I commend him for wanting to [...]
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. [...]
Matampuhin
Minsan masyado akong matampuhin. May marinig lang akong medyo di ko nagustuhan, parang sasama na agad ang loob ko. Madalas nga inaagapan ko. Kasi ayoko ng negative emotions. Stay positive nga di ba?
Does your car need a repair?
You know what? I applaud those businesses who can give an honest, fair service to their customers. You just know these businesses will give you your money’s worth. I know that RepairPal, your car care confidence service company, can make sure that the Dallas auto repair company you are sending your car to will give [...]
Hottest looking car
My cousin is obsessed in making his car the hottest looking car in the neighborhood. Just recently, he changed his car roof into a glass roof. A few minutes ago, I heard him talking to my dad about getting a new chrome trim this time around. He is also looking for more accessories and parts [...]
Special lunch
Most people regard Sunday as the day to be spent with just the family. I am one of those people. In our family, Sundays are special. We normally go out and do something fun or we just stay at home and make a special lunch or dinner. It would have been fun to go out [...]
Don’t stop!
I am off to bed now, people! I will be back after a couple of hours for more work. But before I leave, let me share with you this inspiring quote/photo I found… I promise I won’t stop until I get to where I want to be. Have a great week ahead everyone! Choose to [...]
Sleepy and exhausted
In a few minutes, I will be off to go to bed. I am already sleepy. My mind is already exhausted from the day’s work. I long for the heated mattress pads in our rooms. It is a bit cold these days and I want a warm bed waiting for me. Actually, a hot choco [...]
Financial help for operation
I cried when I saw the kid with hydrocephalus on tv. The parents of the kid is asking for financial help for the operation of the kid. I kept thinking that if only I have the money, I would finance the Hydrocephalus treatment myself. I don’t know what the government is doing with the taxes [...]
Legal woes
A friend of mine mentioned an Oklahoma criminal defense attorney we both know. It reminded me of that once in a blue moon I got into trouble. It’s a long story but suffice it to say that it was because of the debts that piled up due to negligence on my part. I hate that [...]
Perfect set up
Listening to the radio while working is a perfect set up for me. My mind works well when there’s music in the background. I think I got this habit from my mom. I remember seeing her washing and ironing clothes while listening to mellow music. I grew up in a household that always has a [...]
Errand tomorrow
I will get pond supplies tomorrow. I need to run that errand for my aunt. She and her husband bought a brand new house and there’s a pond in their garden. It’s a request by their daughter and of course, my cousin gets what she wants. My aunt asked me to help her get the [...]
Confused me
So many weight loss products are out in the market you don’t even know what to get anymore! Plus, I get so many advices from people who are close to me and it’s also confusing me. I need to lose weight. I am trying out different ways. I am exercising regularly, cutting down my food [...]
Father’s daughter
I think I will drag my dad over to the doctor’s clinic to get some pain relief for arthritis. He’s been complaining about it but when we tell him that he needs to go have it checked, he refuses to go to the doctor. It’s our fear of a bad diagnosis. That’s why we’re stalling [...]
