In Austin…

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Are you interested in getting a property in Austin? Be sure you are dealing with legitimate Austin real estate companies like Century 21 Ripley. The company can help you find an Austin Lakefront Property there if you are looking for one. And other residential and commercial properties as well. We have a family friend who [...]

Neck-deep and buried

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Bad Credit Repair is what you need if you want to turn over your bad credit standing. I remember a relative who went neck-deep in debts because of living way beyond her means. She was buried in credit card bills. She realized a little too late that she maxed out all 5 of her credit [...]

I hate being the parent!

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Last Sunday, some relatives of my dad came by to visit. Whenever there is a gathering in my dad’s side of the family, my eldest aunt would be there with her husband. I love my aunt so much. She’s like a second mom to me already. She’s the one I turn to when I have [...]

Unique father-daughter relationship

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus, photo from Vanity Fair People can be malicious. I’ve been seeing so many articles written about the “cuddly photo” of teen pop star, Miley Cyrus and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. Most are maliciously pointing out how close the father and daughter are and if it’s normal at all. Let [...]

Say hi!

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

No man is an island. We are all born social creatures. It is therefore natural that we expect another person to reach out to us. Family, friends and relatives. But, of course, reaching out should never be one-way only. When another person is reaching out to you, you have to do your own part and [...]

My Brother's Life

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

My brother, James, wants to become a PMA-er. Philippine Military Academy student to be exact. He’s been telling us this desire since he was in 4th year high. He told me that he would rather enroll in PMA in Baguio City. But I have the same answer again and again. NO! You see, I don’t [...]

Wiser with the finances

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

For a long time, our family struggled with finances. One problem after another. Maybe that is the reason why when we have more than enough money, we would find ourselves thinking of how to invest it, how to grow it. Should we buy gold and sell it after some time, with profit of course? Should [...]

Food Friday: Pancake House’s Mocha Shake

Friday, February 13th, 2009

The photo will not show how delicious that Mocha Shake was! Sorry about the quality of the photo, I took that using my cellphone camera. I visited my friend, Tim, last Monday and she cooked Chicken con Repollo and Patatas for me. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of it. And for our merienda, [...]

Happy sad

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

My dad always gave my mom valentines flowers during the occasion. I remember seeing him all teary eyed last year, probably remembering those years with my mom. Last year, what he did was go to my mom’s grave and he brought her flowers, just like before. It was sad to see but I know that [...]

Very own home

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I am helping my friend get the best moving services because she will soon be moving to her new home. She bought the home from her blood, sweat and tears. She worked really hard for it and even starved herself at times just to make sure that she has enough money for its amortization. And [...]

Inspiring boy

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I love hearing stories from my sister who has a student with cerebral palsy. The kid is very intelligent and is a sweet boy. His grandparents are the ones taking care of him while his mother is working as a nurse abroad to sustain his needs. I love the stories because it makes me see [...]

Sick

Monday, February 9th, 2009

My sister traveled a couple of weeks ago with her friends. She suspected herself to have flu that time because she felt clammy and hot inside. But shrugged it off because of excitement. When she reached their destination, she was already feeling terrible. Good thing her boyfriend was with her and made her drink medicine [...]

Diet craze

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Have you heard of the Morning Banana Diet that most of the Japanese people are going crazy about? Well, it is a very effective means of losing weight, according to those who have tried it. I don’t know if it is better than Leptovox or other safe diet pills around. But if they say it [...]

Surviving problems

Monday, February 9th, 2009

We should not feel embarrassed by our difficulties, only by our failure to grow anything beautiful from them. – Alain de Botton I’ve encountered a lot of difficulties in the past. Financially and emotionally. I remember a comment from Raquel in one of my posts about having so many worries these days. She’d take a [...]

Taking extra care of the pc

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Now that my cousin who maintains all our personal computers is working abroad, we are taking extra care of our PCs because we all know we don’t have someone to call anytime there will be a problem. I am especially taking care of my computer memory and has even bought an external hard drive so [...]
