Safety comes first »

When you have a kid at home, safety is one of the first things that you should be thinking about. Sometimes, even in one’s own home, danger lurks. And we are all aware of that. So if you are a stay at home mom, or someone else is taking care of your kids, better orient [...]

A wine for your man »

If you need to give something to the man in your life, what would you give? I suggest a membership to the wine of the month club. I am sure that your man will like this man better. He will get complimentary wines fresh from the vineyard. Perfect to serve on special occasions. Perfect for [...]

My uncle the truck driver »

Do you think God has a sense of humor? Oh, He has. There are [...]

Weekly Question 5 »

What lies ahead for me (and my family) during these tough times? Do we know where we are heading?

A close-knit family »

When I was a kid, there were people that I was envious with. The dad of one of my playmates was working abroad and almost every month, there was a balikbayan package from abroad. Naturally, I was envious with the new toys. I came from a middle class family but my parents did not buy [...]
