I will be watching the State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2008 of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. I will be checking whatever she plans for the family for the rest of her term. I know that the Catholic church is flatly refusing the reproductive health bill. I am curious as to what the president will say [...]
Before anything else, I would like to apologize to everyone because I haven’t been visiting your blogs and dropping cards regularly like before. I just had a lot of things to do plus I am taking care of Hazel for a few days now. She has colds and is now currently sporting a swollen face [...]
I saw this entry about couple working for the same company at e-Pamilya… It just reminded me of the couple I once worked with. The woman works as the unit head of a spin-off group of the main company. She is the marketing director of that group/company. The guy works as the head of the [...]
I hate waking up in the middle of a deep sleep. Well, who does not? There is this unwritten rule at home that when I am sleeping, especially when I spent the early hours of the morning working, I am NOT to be disturbed. I don’t really mind the noise, I am not bothered by [...]
I must admit, I have limited knowledge, both theoretical and practical, when it comes to cooking. When my mom was alive, she did all the cooking for the family. Now, my sister, Roxanne, and my dad alternates in cooking. What I am good at is finding recipes. When we want something, say a different kind [...]

How would you like to spend your special day, your birthday? It will be my 30th birthday in a few weeks. I want to celebrate it with my family. This is how I want my 30th year on earth to be celebrated… Go to mass in the morning to say thanks for the 30 years [...]
I don’t like arguments. Especially when the person I am arguing with is my sibling and it’s about money. I value the money I worked hard for. But I do not look at it as something very important. It’s just money, I can earn it again. My siblings, my family, when I argue with them [...]
There is nothing more fascinating with a kid than a good book that his/her parents read to him/her. I remember my mom reading books to me. I also remember her buying me books, encouraging me to read. My aunts did the same, as well as my grandma. They have all been instrumental in my love [...]
My mom loved shopping for home. I remember when we go to the mall, we would stay longer at the home section than on any other part of the department store. She would check out what’s new with china and would often buy a new one if there was any. You should see how many [...]
It is raining like crazy here in Manila again. I am not sure if it’s the same in the provinces. I love it when it rains but I want for all of us to be at home when it does. I also don’t like rain that will turn into typhoon like what happened with Frank. [...]
The Singing Bee in ABS-CBN, hosted by Cesar Montano, is a show that our family loves watching together. I think it’s the frustrated singers in us. We love guessing the lyrics, especially the part where the words are being jumbled for the contestant to guess it. The show already produced 3 millionaires to date. We [...]
I have three aunts in my father’s side of the family. I am close to the three. I don’t mind running errands for them but one of my aunts can be really demanding at times. There are times when she asks her daughter to go here and borrow money from me. It’s like she has [...]
I saw this question at That’s My Answer… Would you ever argue with your boss if you knew you were in the right? And it made me think about my sister V’s predicament. You see, she is having problems with her boss right now. She just joined the company a couple of months ago and [...]
Families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown This is so true. I love my family very much. But, of course, there are days when you feel like wringing the neck of your sister or kicking your brother’s butt. There are days when you feel like wanting to be away [...]
My dilemma with my weight will never end. I think I have resigned myself to it. I just don’t think I will ever be slim because first and foremost, most females in my dad’s side of the family are on the heavy side. And then, let us not mention the fact that our family loves [...]
When my mom died more than two years ago, our home was naturally thrown into chaos. She was doing most of the household chores when she was still strong enough but have turned to guiding my sister when she was already weak. Still, she was there to tell us what to do. I must confess, [...]
There are days that I worry about my family’s health. With heavy meals and not-so-active lifestyle… well, I know you get my drift. We are trying to change our eating habits already but it will not change overnight. It will surely take us months, years to change our eating habits. On my dad’s side of [...]
In our family it is a tradition to celebrate one’s birthday year after year. By celebrating, I mean preparing something for the relatives that will be dropping by. Not a big party, just something that will be enough to feed anyone who stops by. Like one of my numerous cousins will be celebrating her birthday [...]
