If I could…
If you could take back something you did to someone, what would it be? Turn against bgl, ayl and lvm. They were good persons, most especially ayl. I actually didn’t turn against ayl but because I hated the person who took her place, it felt like she’s the one I turned against from. I remember [...]
My second mom
Whenever I get to talk to my Tita Windy, my dad’s sister, I am reminded of the good times I had when I was a kid. She’s like a second mom to me and my siblings and cousins. She’s genuinely concerned about our welfare and is always just a phone call away to help us [...]
Unhealthy me
Whenever I’d get dizzy, I get scared. I am unhealthy. I keep telling myself to lose weight but my stubborn mind refuses to acknowledge the need. I totally eliminated soda in my life. I’ve been without it for exactly 8 months now. Hopefully it will stay that way. That’s less blood sugar for me. I [...]
I ignored her tweet.
I ignored her tweet. Just like the way she snubbed me when she saw me at the mall with a friend. Why would I reply to her tweet, right? I no longer want to be blog-friends with her. That’s a thing of the past. She belongs to that period when I was hungry to replace [...]
Investing business profits
My dad’s sister, my favorite aunt, came to visit last Friday night. She was so excited about the gold bullion that her husband is looking into buying. Her husband availed of the early retirement package his company offered long-time employees. He took it and set up a business of his own. That was a year [...]
Missing them…
I dreamed about my ex-friend. She was helping me on something in my dream. I couldn’t recall what it was but it felt good. I haven’t talked to this ex-friend of mine for so many years already but I still think of her, and another common friend, from time to time. I actually miss them. [...]
College degree, career path, work
College is the start of the path towards our careers. This is where we choose the specific path we want to trek. So before taking the plunge, make sure you get some career advice from professionals first. Learn more about the field you would want to go into. Gather information from others who took the [...]
Dreading phone calls
I hate that I am feeling scared once again because of a loan that isn’t even mine. I have felt this way before when I was having problems with my credit cards. I used to dread getting a call from a collector or someone pretending to be a lawyer for the credit card company. I [...]
Funds for beauty school
I got a solicitation letter from one of my relatives. It’s for the schooling of a distant cousin. In the letter, it stated that she is targeting Regency, a Cosmetology School in Austin. It says that the school has a great network of placement relationships so getting a job after graduation is easier. Not to [...]
Not outdoors-y
I have never been an outdoors type of person. I am a homebody. I go out to meet friends and relatives but only to lunches, dinners, coffees and to the mall. Other than that, well, there’s nothing. I don’t have a sport to play. I can play volleyball a little, I can dribble and shoot [...]
Uncontrollable facial expressions
When I am mad, you will know it. If I am happy, the whole world can see it. I can’t pretend to be fine if I feel so annoyed or irritated. That’s me. I think I was born this way. I remember when I was still a kid and there’s an occasion where I would [...]
RT/WW – A day at the beach
When it gets too cold…
It is winter where my friend is right now. She kept on telling me over our chats that she feels the cold seeping to her bones and that she feels gloomy all the time. As a way to cheer her up, I am ordering an electric blanket online to be sent to her flat. It [...]
Going on a road trip
Going to a place you haven’t been to can be quite difficult for a navigational-challenged person like me. That’s why I am really very thankful that the Global Positioning System or GPS has been created. I am going on a road trip to a place I only heard about from a friend. I am bringing [...]
Concerned about her
Someone I know is not very careful with her body. You know, abusing it by working too hard and not sleeping or resting enough. I know there are days when she just won’t go to sleep until she’ll just keel over from too much exhaustion. She’s single and young but when you look at her [...]
A dollar = a point.
Andy gave his dad a reward card to use. His parents are going on a trip to three states and they’re bringing the RV with them. The company where they bought the RV has an offer that for every dollar spent using the reward card, a corresponding point will be earned. Until you come to [...]
A wee bit guilty
Do you know that I feel somewhat guilty whenever I buy something pricey for myself? It’s like I feel I am not doing my obligation for the family. I feel that way whenever I indulge in something other than food. Years ago, we didn’t have that much. I must admit that we really struggled financially, [...]
Back problems
My sister has back problems. She has slight scoliosis so she always have this need to protect her back more than an average person does. I saw an orthopedic mattress online and I thought I’d get her one. She needs it. The mattresses that we have at home are from a well-known local brand. But [...]
50 grandchildren
We have a neighbor who has more than 50 grandchildren already! Majority are from her kids, some are from her nieces and nephews from cousins. Can you imagine how many kids she has to think of come Christmas? What she does is buy wholesale. She will pick one popular item for kids during the holiday [...]
Mood swings
I easily get annoyed, angry, irritated. I also easily become happy. People who know me will just ignore my mood swings. But if you don’t know me, you’d think I’m a little bit crazy. Or a whole lot crazy! Hehehe… I’ve always been like this. It’s actually worse when I was younger. These days, I [...]
Beauty and function
I went to see a relative last week. Her house has a zen theme. Minimalist and very simplistic. I actually love it! Do you know that the main decor of her bathroom is the Robern Medicine cabinet. That’s it! And yet the beauty and function are there. It actually made me think of making our [...]
Quality brand noted
Larry’s choice: Baldwin hardware. Larry is very particular with brands. He never forgets the ones which gave him the most in terms of quality. So he takes note of the brands he likes and goes back to the same brand when he needs to buy another one from it. So when he needed to buy [...]
An uphill battle
‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain I’m always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be a uphill battle Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose Ain’t about how fast I get there Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side It’s the climb! There are so many problems that we face in every single [...]
To please my mom…
My dad always found ways on how to please my mom when she was still alive. I remember when one time my dad won in the lottery, not the jackpot but he got some numbers, he bought my mom a ring from his winnings. My mom was so happy when my dad gave it to [...]
Road to financial freedom?
A couple of years ago, I was neck-deep in debts. I didn’t know how I could get saved from drowning. There was no clear sign of how I could pay for the loans I incurred over the years. And then I quit working for a corporation. It seemed that instead of the fear I usually [...]
