Medical benefits
With what happened to a loved one very recently, I do believe it’s really time to consider maintaining a health savings account for both me and my dad. My dad is not getting any younger. I know he’s feeling some aches and pains in his joints already. He is just not one to complain about [...]
Treating others with kindness
My conviction that treating subordinates and staff kindly will benefit you in the long run became stronger when a former assistant of mine gave me a personalized gift without any occasion. She just felt like it because she remembered me when she saw the gift. Imagine that. Can you imagine how touched I was when [...]
Beauty and brains

Creative with hands
There are those who are really creative with their hands. Our neighbor Julie is that kind of person. Imagine to be able to design furniture and have big companies and individuals ask you for it. Wow! When I was a little kid, I played the piano. I also loved handcrafts. But my parents didn’t encourage [...]
His vegetable garden
My cousin Al loves gardening. What little space we have at home he was able to transform into a mini vegetable garden. He has a couple of vegetables planted there. He created a make-shift hanging thing where vines can crawl. When he talks to you about his mini garden, I tell you, you can sense [...]
Different solutions
There are different diet solutions out there right now. Most are offering easy and fast ways to lose weight. Some are promising while others are really doubtful like the apidexin scam. So I keep telling my friends to be aware of what they’re choosing and buying. It might work for someone else while it won’t [...]
Happy despite death
A friend of mine asked me why I seem so happy despite the death of a loved one. I told her that I am happy my loved one’s already gone. Of course, my friend looked appalled! She probably didn’t expect that kind of a reply from me because she knows how much I love my [...]
Three years since

The bad memories
I wish my mind is like a computer memory, I can do something about it to get rid of what’s in it. I can reformat and wipe out all the history in a single click. I can even buy a new one for a change! But I can’t do that. I can’t get rid of [...]
Getting rid of Facebook account?
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. For the past few days now, I feel like disabling my Facebook account! I get irritated seeing comments from non-friends made on photos I was tagged at. They used the comments section of the photo to remind each other who they were. Good thing I could untag myself. [...]
Be in control
It’s always good to be in control. If you are organizing a big event and you know a big crowd is going to attend, consider getting crowd control products like stanchions. It can be used to get people to fall in line or to divide a rather large crowd. It can also be used to [...]
Worried, heart breaking…
My mind has been going bonkers for the past two days. Mostly, I am worried. Worried about a sick love one. My heart couldn’t take seeing a love one suffering, especially someone who was a big part of my life. I just feel helpless seeing her lying on her bed and in great discomfort. I [...]

Love means…
Love means being prepared not to bother your love ones when you are gone. It means getting a life insurance online so that your love ones have a plan to fall back on should they find themselves taking care of you in your death. Love means leaving something behind for your love ones to benefit [...]

While looking at a sick love one…
While looking at a sick love one, you’d suddenly feel like doing something good for your body. Like taking 7-dfbx to lose weight and live lighter. Or to exercise, stop the crappy food you eat, and to sleep more. You’d realize that the sooner you take steps to correct the wrong way you live your [...]
Lonely red bike
If I wish hard enough will the lonely red bike bring me to a place where I can experience the peace and quiet I need? Or it would just go in circles and bring me back from whence I came from? Life is like the lonely red bike. It is up to you to direct [...]
Darn life
Please bear with me on this one as my rant is written in the vernacular… Nakakasama ng loob na maranig mo ang tatay mo na gusto pala kayong iwan magkapera lang siya! Nakakainis! Bakit ba di na lang tigilan ang kadramahan sa loob ng bahay?!? Bakit kailangang tuwing nagiging okay ang lahat bigla na lang [...]
When she least expected it
Auntie Wilma just got her long-awaited remittance that was put on hold due to problems with her friend.

Since she wasn’t expecting to get the money anymore, it is now extra funds [...]
Heart broken
I realized that it feels like your heart is being broken when someone in the family goes against your wishes. It just felt that way to me. I was told that it was just, you know, a phase. It made me wonder if I was like that when I was his age. But I wasn’t [...]
Back pains due to stress
I experienced severe back pains a few days ago. I immediately attributed it to stress. I was stressed out! There were so many things that happened all at once that I knew right away it was the cause of my back pains. I won’t go into details anymore. But suffice it to say that my [...]
Just went along with it
Did you research college degrees before you chose one? Or did someone tell you to take up the degree and you just went along with it? I must admit that the last one happened to me. My mom told me to take up the college degree and I said yes. I guess years of telling [...]
Balance in life
I need to find the balance in my life again. I can’t forever find myself going back from whence I came from. I cannot forever be in this cycle I once called life. I thought I managed to changed everything four years ago but I guess I haven’t really learned my lesson. Until yesterday, that [...]
Hateful situation
Ako na lang lagi. I am the one always giving way. When you are stuck in a bad situation, you tend to analyze things and come up with the reality that you are always on the losing end. How come? Nagbago na kasi ako. Maybe that’s it. Maybe I always give in. And when I [...]
