Karaoke man and his buddies
Our neighbor felt the need to celebrate his birthday by turning up the volume of their karaoke, busting dance hits and then later on singing to his heart’s content. I wouldn’t have minded it especially I knew it was the person’s birthday. But he started banging out the sounds when the evening news came on! [...]
Cute bags
No wonder I keep hearing my three younger girl cousins talk about dereon bags. It’s cute! Here are some that I saw at JimmyJazz.com… I love the bags! I would like them for myself, too. My cousins are talking to each other about saving up so they can buy each of the satchel, crossbody and [...]
An achievement
Don is busy with cad drawing. He is an architect and he just accepted a project for a new client. Don is my cousin and just like me, he opted to work on his own as a consultant accepting freelance jobs. He’s lucky because he was able to bring over some small clients he’s handled [...]
Pressure at work
There is nothing better to give aunt Betsy but the best anti wrinkle cream there is right now. You know why? She just looks so haggard all the time! She was recently promoted at work and the added responsibility is showing on her face. I think that a couple of months more of the same [...]
An old woman
When I grow old, I pray that I have enough resources I can tap into so that I won’t be asking for help from others. There is this old woman who kept on asking for money and other things from a family. Sure, they’re related but sometimes, the family just feels like she’s just asking [...]
The need for more
I must admit that even though I earn way above minimum wage, I still need more. Not for luxury but more for the basic needs of the family. There will be occasional wants and desires but it will mostly go to the welfare of every one at home. But I can’t always find a part-time [...]
He is good!
God is good. I don’t doubt that. I doubt the goodness of some people around me but never that. I do believe that there is a reason for every little thing that happens to us. Even the bad stroke of your pen can be a blessing in disguise. Who knows? You might be putting your [...]
Took pity on a sick couple
My dad easily takes pity on sick people. I got that from him. I also feel pity for the sick, especially those who cannot afford to buy medicines for themselves. There is a couple here in the neighborhood who can’t afford to buy medicine to relieve joint pain. My dad knew both of them and [...]
Larger share of the market
Walden is asking his purchasing officer to find him discount office furniture for the branch office he’s thinking of putting up. He wants to reach out to another type of market and since it’s just an experiment of sorts, he doesn’t want to spend too much on office furniture and other items. He will be [...]
A father who abandoned his family.
I can’t imagine how a parent could abandon his kids. I can understand if it’s a spouse but your own kids? Your own flesh and blood? One of my dad’s uncles, his father’s cousin, abandoned his family years ago, when his kids were still very young. He spent his life like a bachelor. Oftentimes, I [...]
House blessing
We will be attending my aunt’s house blessing by the end of the month. She and her husband bought a 300+sqm house and lot in another city a couple of months ago. They had the house renovated, the interiors changed to their liking. They had the house done with their kids in mind. I haven’t [...]
A good man for her
I felt happy for MFJ. Who knew she could still find a guy who will treat her with respect after a bad marriage and two kids? Maybe because she’s a good person that’s why she was given another shot at love. The man she found is good to her and her kids. If she’s only [...]
Happy for her
I can’t imagine myself living all alone without any family or relatives that I can turn to. One of my friends has been living that way for a long time. I know it’s lonely and she just convinces herself that it’s what she wants, anyway. She is an only child but her mom would treat [...]
Laughing away wrinkles and problems!
I laugh a lot. Even when it’s not right for me to be laughing, I find myself doing just that. It’s my escape. It’s a form of defense for me. When every one else is crying or sad, I don’t want to find myself in the same predicament. I want to veer away from the [...]
More good-looking to me
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw an old classmate in Facebook. He looked sooo good! I know he’s gay and all but I think my jaw dropped when I saw his photos. He looked like he took hgh. His body looked so well-built! Of course he already has a beautiful face even back [...]
Getting nearer…
She is already having nightmares about the coming wedding of her bestfriend. That’s my sister. She kept on seeing herself being fitted for a gown and not fitting in it. Her bestfriend since kindergarten is getting married by December. Gown fitting is already on the last week of August. My sister is getting desperate about [...]
Uninspired today
I am uninspired to write today. I can’t think of anything to write actually except this disinterest to write at the moment. But I need to write. It’s my bread and butter for the past four years already. I am enjoying this work because writing for a living was a dream of mine. While balancing [...]
Achievement in life
My parents gave us jewelries on special occasions when we were little kids. Gold jewelries. They wanted people to see that they could afford it, that they could give us something better. In the age old tradition of men, gold is the ultimate measure of how much you’ve achieved in life. The more you can [...]
Carrying a grudge
I just realized that I am also capable of holding a grudge. Do you know how I realized it? Whenever I talk about my mom’s aunt, I get so angry! I just couldn’t get over the belittling they all did to my mom and us when I was younger. I haven’t forgotten all those begging [...]
My life now…
I need to be always in front of the computer. That’s my life now. If I want to earn and continue working at home, I need to tell myself to stay put and do what I need to do. I can’t be lazy. I can’t procrastinate forever! I need to devote my time to writing [...]
Something else she’s good at
About a month ago, one of my cousins had difficulty getting funds to cover her tuition fees. She opted not to go to college this semester because of it. When I was able to talk to her, I told her that there are other options available for her. If the degree she’s taking takes too [...]
Winning the jackpot
I don’t bet on the lottery, or in any thing at all. I am not into that. My dad, on the other hand, bets on the lottery every night. I don’t know if it’s appropriate at all but I do pray that my dad would win the jackpot. Imagine paying off every single debt we [...]
Pregnant beggar
A beggar who we always see when we go to church went missing for a while. I thought the authorities did something already because we really complained about the woman sitting on the steps of the footbridge fully clothed, eating, while her son was naked and bawling his eyes out. We saw her again yesterday. [...]
Not really a negative person
How to you spell pathetic? It’s looking forward to Monday morning so you can find out what’s new in the Pet Society store. That’s how you spell P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C! If you’ve been reading this blog, you’d be thinking that I am very much a negative person. Sorry about the rants. This blog was built with the [...]
Surprise visit
Randy is a salesman for a furniture store. He wants to meet his quota for the month and since he’s desperate to achieve it, he’s going to friends’ houses to make a sales pitch. Even friends he hasn’t seen in ages! I was surprised to find him at our doorstep. He told me that he [...]
