I must admit, any mention of a vacation to me is received with great enthusiasm. A weekend stay at a nearby resort? Sure! Costa Rica vacations? Asked my friend… I said yes right away!
Who wouldn’t want to go on a vacation when you’ve been working your butt off for months, right? It would be cool to stay somewhere that has a countryside feel to it but has the amenities of a big city. I would love that! I want to stay in an inn where it feels like you’re just home.
My mind and body scream of rest! Maybe by next month…
A friend of mine is enjoying her lazy days vacationing with her boyfriend. She’s out of a job right now, a few weeks ago resigning from the company she’s been with for more than three years. Burnt out from work, stressed from too much rumor-mongering of her co-workers. All part of the work environment, I told her.
After their vacation, she’ll be back to find a job. She needs it. She’s got to pay the bills and eat. I don’t think she’ll get money out of vacationing.
I remember I was once in between jobs for four months and I learned my lesson from it. You can give yourself false hope by telling yourself you can easily get another job. The truth is, with twenty of you vying for the same position, I don’t think it will be that easy snagging that job, don’t you think?
I experienced another bout of dyspepsia. Not as bad as the last one but this one is making me long for the bed. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of things to attend to before I can hit the sack.
The thing is, I am not comfortable with my body anymore. I would like to try a diet supplement now. And that diet my friend was telling me about. I need it. I don’t like this sick feeling. I need to be healthy and full of energy if I want to achieve my goals for this year!
An international personality is endorsing a hair loss shampoo. People are making fun of the tv commercial because of the way the personality pronounced the word “falling”. He said “pulling” instead. It’s just his dialect accent getting in the way. He’s a Bisaya.
When my sister and I were talking about it, we also laughed. But then when we analyzed it, we realized that it’s just our race being so self-conscious about grammar and pronunciation. Other races don’t think of it as much. It is both an advantage and a disadvantage for us because when you think about it, we are so self-conscious that we tend to get tongue tied speaking in a foreign language even though we know how. It’s because we are afraid to be criticized if there was a wrong grammar in the sentence we just uttered or that we might pronounce a word the wrong way.
I do believe we should be more lenient with the way we view others. As long as we can convey the message across, right?
One of the things I love about having 3 sisters is that you get to gossip with them a lot! When we are all okay with each other, and we’re not super tired from the day’s activities, we get to chat for hours. In fact, instead of sleeping, I had a really fun chat with my sisters for two hours straight!
There are days when one or all of us refuse to talk to the other(s). I do think it’s pretty normal with siblings. My prayer is that even though we grow older, even when we already have our own families, we would still remain close. The bond won’t be broken by something as trivial as money or familial dispute.

By the way, it’s interesting what a search can give you. I was searching for an image to accompany this post. I used the phrase “4 women chatting”. Try googling it and see what images it will give you. The first two are… shocking! Hahaha
My sister is a teacher. Most of the time, she brings home additional work. She wakes up very early and would work until five in the morning. After which she will prepare to go to work. Because she lacks sleep, when you look at her, the first thing you’d think about is she needs the best under eye cream in the market.
I guess that’s how dedicated teachers are. They will give even their free time to finish their work load and to become better at their craft.
Do you know some effective weight loss formulas out there? If you do, can you toss it over here?
I know there is no perfect formula for weight loss. A formula that works for you may not work for me. Vice versa. It all depends on one’s needs and body make-up. What I do know is that if you have determination and perseverance, then there will be one formula that will work for you.
Now, my problem is that I don’t have those two.
Name three words you would use to describe your family.
Large. Loud. Simple.
We are a large family. Large pertaining to number and body size. 6 brothers and sisters, and my parents. 2 died, my brother and my mom. We are overweight people. I know, it’s bad. It’s in our genes.
Loud. We are literally loud people. We laugh out loud, talk loudly most of the time. But we are not inconsiderate people. We only do these things inside our home.
Simple. We live a simple life. We are easily pleased. Our dreams are simple ones that can be achieved easily.
So that’s how I will describe my family. How about you?
