I was distracted from what I am doing by the news about the floating Christmas tree in Brazil. What a beauty! Really amazing! We have the giant Christmas tree here in Araneta Center but the Brazil tree is really impressive. Oh well… I have to check some life insurance quotes for my dad first. I [...]
A taste of HongKong gave my aunt and her family a craving to travel more. I saw her checking las vegas hotels when I visited her last week. Her husband wanted to go to Las Vegas for a long time now and since they are invited by a family friend, they are pushing through with [...]
I believe I need some energy pills today. I have been awake since eight in the evening last night and still doing so many things all at once. I can feel my energy level going down inch by inch. But since I have to finish everything first, well, I have to stay awake. My body [...]
My sisters are chiding me for spending more than I should in office furniture. Actually, I did spend more than I should. I was looking for the chair I would feel comfortable sitting on. When I found it, I thought of buying two kinds of tables that I discarded and sold after a few weeks. [...]
My friend is exploring the possibility of him getting a blue light acne treatment. Since I have known him in second year high, his acne has been his problem. He tried different treatments already but for some reason, it keeps coming back. A doctor friend of his told him about this blue light treatment and [...]
A relative came to me just the other day asking for a loan. While I have some to spare, I am saving it for my brother’s tuition fee. I told her that there are fast cash payday loans that she can take advantage of. You see, her only problem is that the holiday bonus from [...]
Instead of buying a floral arrangement, why not buy flowers and accents separately and arrange it yourselves? That’s what we do whenever we visit my mom’s grave. We would go to Dangwa, a place here in Manila popular for fresh flowers and accents. You can haggle and get great discounts, especially when you go there [...]

I hope that every one of us will have a franchise opportunity, especially those without a job right now. It is hard to find a new job, now that the market is already saturated with job seekers, some more experienced and knowledgeable than you are. Just imagine the predictions of experienced around the world… next [...]
A neighbor of ours has this really strange habit of talking in a loud voice even if the person she is talking to is just in front of her. What’s worse, she talks as if her kids are not there, listening to her. I was looking out the window when I heard her a few [...]
I won’t presume to know what these people were thinking but why suicide? There are so many other options to choose from. So many people out there are wishing for an extension of theirs. And yet these people commit suicide? I just read in a local newspaper that a college student suffering from a bipolar [...]
All this cold weather does to me is make me hungry all the time! I told myself that I will try to limit my rice intake, specially at night. But look at me, still eating the same amount of rice at night. Aargh! My family does the same. We all need some appetite suppressant pills, [...]
I wonder why there is no Weekly Question from Teacher Julie yet. I normally get an email from her on Sunday mornings with the question of the week together with the link to her current post. Joining memes is not really my thing. When it was still that popular, I was one of those who [...]
My two sisters are asking for MP3 players for their Christmas gifts. In our family, it is our tradition to exchange gifts on Christmas eve. But to make sure that the recipient would like what he or she will receive, we list down what we would like to receive. It is up to the giver [...]
Business Opportunities are available to those who are determined enough to really make it. I learned that while reading a magazine article about those who made it big and they started when they were at the lowest point of their lives. It was a very inspiring article, something that made me think long and hard [...]
I have a friend whom you can say is financially free. I mean, he inherited a chunk of his money from his uncle who died without a wife or a child. He invested a portion of it well and it grew to three times its principal amount. Lucky guy! When I talked to him a [...]
Here is this week’s question… What are the special things that you look forward to every Sunday? I love Sundays. This is the only day in the week that you will surely find the whole family together. Since my sister and my brother are both working and going to school on Saturdays, we only get [...]
My youngest sister, Grace, passed the 2008 Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET)! Thank God for this wonderful blessing! If you know anyone who also took the board exams, you can find the results of the elementary and secondary teacher exams here.
I just read Raquel’s (www.raqmitch.com) post about her weight loss progress. I really envy the girl’s determination and self-control! My sister and I were talking last night and I am trying really hard to eliminate rice from my meals. I am big on rice so I know this is making me gain weight more. I [...]
I did a variation of this meme in the past but for tacK I will do this again 1. I have a chronic illness: katamaran! Hahaha… Maybe, it’s the weather. It is cooler now than in the past few weeks. Or maybe my body is asking for payback for the year that I abused it [...]
