Worth every penny
Most parents send their kids to college in the hope of giving them a good push in life. But what if after graduation they find it so hard to look for a job? So parents should find a school who will be worth every penny they shell out. A school that will make sure their [...]
Looking guilty
I caught up with someone I know who’s about to buy prenatal vitamins. She looked guilty when I saw her at the pharmacy. I couldn’t imagine what she looked so guilty about until I saw what she’s buying. She’s single so maybe that’s the reason why she looked guilty buying something that mostly married women [...]
Sitting in front of the computer
If there is a fast and safe way to reduce belly fat, I would have taken it already. Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end can make your belly grow big. In my case, I’ve been like this for the past three years with no workout. I’ve been way too busy for [...]
How do you say NO?
How do you tell an uncle that you cannot let him borrow from you again and again because it just isn’t done? How do you tell that person that you are not a bank and that you don’t have a well of cash lying around in wait for someone to borrow it? How do you [...]
Demanding, annoying
I learned that a relative of my mom is working on his bpi certification right now. He wanted to stay with us but my dad told his family that we have limited space at home so we can’t accommodate any guests at the moment. We thought it was understood but we just heard that my [...]
Dreaming…
I was talking to my siblings the other night and we were dreaming of converting a portion of our home into our very own gym. We could buy fitness equipment and use it without having to go to the gym. But that’s just a dream of ours. We don’t have enough space at home to [...]
Outside hanging out
Even though our house is small, we still love for people to come over. We love having friends drop by or come stay for a visit. We are proud of our home even though we live in a rather not so good neighborhood. My sister and I were checking some outdoor décor we can use [...]
Move on!
You can spend minutes, hours, days or even months over-analyzing a situation, Trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on. I read this quote from a friend’s friend. I was laughing when I read it. Because it’s [...]
No to waiting
I am waiting for the insurance quotes that my uncle is asking me to help him get. I asked a friend who works for a local insurance company to send it over and it’s taking him days to do just that. What I did was I asked another friend who knows an agent to ask [...]
His beloved iPhone
The iPhone is really popular. You can tell by the number of persons you encounter using it. I have a number of friends using an iPhone now. I am using an old cellphone model and it’s fine with me because I am not much a cellphone person. I only use it to text my siblings [...]
Helping the bride
My sister is helping her best friend complete and get their wedding programs printed. She is getting married by December and they are rushing the preparation to get things done by November. They still have a couple of months to get things done and the couple is pretty confident that everything will be organized and [...]
You can rely on.
My friend Jean is someone you can rely on to accompany you anywhere at the drop of a hat. She is literally one text message away all the time. About a week ago, a common friend of ours asked her to accompany her to get an epson receipt printer. Our friend needs it for the [...]
Not getting it!
I can’t understand this woman who was twice burned and supposed to be twice shy but instead is now getting married to someone I supposed she’s met only a few months ago. She never learned her lesson. I thought she’s going to concentrate on her two girls and her mom now that they lost her [...]
Dig deeper
I always tell the people I love to be aware of whatever product they are using. Now that there are so many kinds of quick solutions to so many problems we have in our skin and body, we need to be vigilant of what’s really legitimate versus what’s not. Read reviews. Read testimonials. Research about [...]
Sick and feeling weak
I have colds right now. It sucks! I hate feeling sick and weak. It is one of the best appetite suppressants in the world. When you are sick, you don’t feel like eating. I don’t feel like eating much. I just want to go back to bed and sleep. I actually did that for hours [...]
Awareness
My brother is regularly going to a gym a block away from our house. He’s been at it for almost a year now. You can see from the muscles on his arms the result of his determination to tone his body. He told me the other day that a man he used to talk to [...]
Can’t live without them
I’ve been realizing more and more lately that life will be hard for me without my family around. This thing is something that we take for granted. We have a family and a home. We just go through the motions of our day without appreciating the fact that not every one has someone to go [...]
Every step of the way
My sister is checking out gown designs that she can use as a basis for the design of her own gown as a bridesmaid for her best friend’s wedding. Truth is, she’s already panicking because she’s still too overweight and she feels like she might not look good in her bridesmaid gown. She needs a [...]
Need a boost?
Who doesn’t need a boost from time to time? We all need it. Men in particular can be really vulnerable when it comes to matters inside the bedroom. They will do everything to be the best inside the bedroom, I am sure of it. I have a couple of guy friends and they have told [...]
Replacement windows = savings
Conserving energy can result to two things: a better environment and a lesser electric bill. Who doesn’t want that? Personally, a lower electric bill will be a blessing to me. We’ve been incurring higher electricity now with the summer and all. Thank goodness it will be over soon. This El Niño phenomenon, that is. Anyway, [...]
MM8: Someone
There was a time when this was the anthem of my existence. Someone by Rembrandts. I remember breathing this song. I was in love with the idea of being in love. And then it was all gone… Happy Monday to all! Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave [...]
Not just a peaceful neighborhood
If you’ve been reading this blog of mine, you know I’ve been vocal in saying that a better neighborhood is what I am dreaming for my family right now. I want a place where my dad can spend his prime peacefully. The same goes for my siblings. When a friend mentioned Tamarindo Real Estate properties [...]
Hindrance to plans
I wish my dad has another diversion/hobby other than breeding fighting cocks. Our whole family can’t go on prolonged trips because he keeps worrying about his prized breeds. They need to be fed twice a day. There are times when they would get out of their designated places and fight with each other. My dad [...]
For the women
My cousin Bernadette is coming home from a trip to Paris. She went there with her friends. They stayed there for a month and a half. They are all recent graduates and are exploring the possibility of opening a shop for the women. Everything for the women. Womens Dresses will never go out of style. [...]
Hot in the city!
You wouldn’t believe how hot it is in the Philippines right now. Unbelievably hot! It feels like you are living inside an oven. The electric fans are blowing hot wind. Even staying put or lying still, you will be drenched in sweat. It is that hot! Believe me, when you attempt to walk without an [...]
