Hooked!
My dad’s friend is hooked on discount cigars. He cannot afford the really expensive ones but he got a taste for cigars ever since he spent time with some people from his work. Those people can afford the expensive ones and they hooked him to cigars and he fell in love with it. He is [...]
Creating awareness
When a local tv soap included a story of a kid sick with mesothelioma, people have been talking about it. The cause, the symptoms, the sickness itself, the mesothelioma survival rate. People have become curious about it because it’s something new to them. And this is for me the way to create awareness. Make the [...]
Cute and cozy nooks
I love the glass mosaic tile in my friend’s apartment. She used it for her pocket garden. It gave the place a lively look! I love it! I am a sucker for cute, cozy nooks at home. It makes me feel like I am in a corner all my own. I can tune out every [...]
Me and my siblings
I was asked… How many siblings do you have? I have five siblings: three sisters and two brothers. Two sisters came right after me, then my brother who died of leukemia, another sister and our youngest is a boy. The sister next to me is an accountant just like me. The next one is a [...]
Worries
Ah, worries. It will never stop. It will never lessen. I think it grows over time. Don’t you think? If you cannot help worrying, remember that worrying cannot help you either. – Unknown I know. I was told time and again that worrying won’t help me. But when you are the eldest, the breadwinner of [...]
Invest in gold
Do you intend to buy gold bars? If you do, I do think you are making a wise investment. The market for gold is booming these days and it is said to be a safe investment for those who do not feel safe about the value of dollar. You know how currencies fluctuate every now [...]
Two nights. Friendships.
I will never forget those two nights of my life. I cried a lot and have never felt so down in my life. Those two nights woke me up to the realities of friendships and how fragile it can be. The first time was when I was in my early 20′s. It was a very [...]
A house for us
I am not dreaming of a big house for the family. All I ever want is to have a decent house in a decent neighborhood. That’s it. A house where we can all be together and still have a space for when there’s a visitor. A house where we can all convene in the living [...]
Worrying a lot
This constant worrying makes me look haggard and old. I tell you, if this doesn’t stop, I will look 60 when I turn 40 in a few years time. I might need to try out the prototype 37c if I don’t watch out! I guess this is normal if you are the breadwinner. Not to [...]
Wasted opportunities
She knows she will get some flak for not availing of that acne treatment when it’s obvious that she needs it badly. She has a beautiful face, if it only clears up. She is up for a couple of modeling jobs but because she is lazy in getting treatment for her acne, she will lose [...]
I want to…
I really wish there’s a slimquick that I can use to lose weight really fast! I want to be able to climb the more than hundred steps of the Grotto without feeling light headed and about to pass out. I want to walk and walk and not experience shortness of breath. I want to be [...]
I get angry, too!
I am trying to stay positive as much as possible. I stay away from anything that will give me negative vibes. Still, I do get angry. I cannot standby and let someone I don’t even know from Adam insult me or even hint at that. I get angry and I lash out. Just imagine my [...]
Busted laptop
My brother and I are checking hard drives for our busted laptop. We need a new one for it. He will be using it for this coming school year. Owning a laptop or netbook is a must for my brother since he is taking up an IT course. It would be ridiculous if he flunks [...]
Going back to the race
I need a quick weight loss fix! Where do I get it? I am going back already. But before I can do so, I need to lose weight first. I have gained a lot over the three-year period I am working at home. I don’t regret any of that. In fact, I am really thankful [...]
In need of a break
I can get really lazy for days on end. I admit that. I have been totally lazy the past several weeks. I would go online to do tasks and updates. But only for a few hours unlike my usual of almost living in front of the computer already. I spent the hours in between either [...]
Living in manufactured homes
I was able to talk to an old schoolmate. She told me that their family is already living elsewhere. Their family as well as the families of her relatives are now living in manufactured homes. They saw it when they went on a mountain retreat and they enjoyed the place so much that when they [...]
Travel time
We have been planning on going to this place outside the country for quite some time now. I didn’t know my sister applied for a credit card and will be using it so we need not be carrying so much cash during travel time. It just took a while for the credit card processing to [...]
Silly fights in high school
We all know how immature we were back in high school. There were so many unnecessary fights that when we look back now, we don’t even know what started the majority of it. Admit it, you were once embroiled in a silly fight back in those days. Am I right? I was a bully back [...]
Affected
I easily get affected when I see a love one being emotional. Especially if that love one is one of the closest to me. I just don’t like seeing them sad or lonely or hurt. I think it’s the protector in me. The big ‘ate’. Just recently, my cousin who’s working abroad talked to me [...]
Lesser known travel destinations
Are you running out of vacation ideas? Or probably finding it hard to find a vacation destination that will fit into your little budget? How about lesser known travel destinations so you won’t be needing that much money to spend on overpriced tourist accommodations and other stuff. I suggest you go to My Cities Guide, [...]
We need to fail.
I read from my favorite preacher Bro. Bo Sanchez that we need to fail. I do think so, too. We need to fail to be able to determine our own strengths. I failed several times in the past. In my career. I stumbled and fell and stood up again and again. And you know what? [...]
