Looking for golf items?

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

When you hear the men in the family talk about golf, you will know right away that they are fans. Not all of them play. Like my dad. He does not really play but he knows a lot about the sport. He watches games as much as he can and can talk to you about [...]

Weekly Question: Fave ice cream

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Here is this week’s question… What is your favorite ice cream flavor or ice cream concoction? I love anything chocolate and banana-flavored. That’s why I love banana split! There’s also this cheap ice cream that you can buy for 7 pesos only. The one you can find in the supermarket. I forgot the name but [...]

Through thick or thin

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

My uncle’s family hit tough times for the past few months now. He is working abroad but recently transferred to a new company. Unknowingly, that company is having problems with their finances. His remittances were always delayed and his family here was almost evicted from the house they’re renting. Good thing my uncle’s wife is [...]

Clean water

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

A water pipe servicing our area broke. Naturally, the water supply in our area became compromised. Fortunately, we had a water filter at home that we can use. But what about some of our neighbors who don’t have one? They need water filters. I found a web site that gives out free information about it. [...]

I am single. I am actually a bit active in the dating scene. I know a lot of single friends who are also into dating at the moment. That’s why I am thinking of a way to help them at the same time helping myself in the process through earning. A Dating Affiliate Program is [...]

A talk with the relatives

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Amidst the chaos that was the birthday party that I attended this afternoon, I got to talk with some elders about the financial crisis that’s affecting the whole world today. Of course, they are all worried. I am worried myself. Most of the people I talked to this afternoon are breadwinners of their families. Some [...]

Jollibee Party today…

Friday, March 27th, 2009

My sisters, Hazel and I attended our cousin’s birthday party at Jollibee Luneta Park this afternoon. Our nanay (paternal grandma), some aunts and other cousins were also present. It was really fun! We had so much fun laughing, enjoying watching the kiddie games, and the Jollibee mascots. It was actually a riot when the mascots [...]

Graduation: Start of something new

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Students cry in graduation. That’s because they are saying goodbye to their classmates, to the familiar environment they’ve been in for the past four years or so of their lives, to teachers who have been their pillar of strength, and to a carefree life. When I graduated in fourth year high school, I didn’t cry. [...]

Evening breeze

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

My dad asked me to buy new outdoor cushions for the chairs so we can stay at the porch in the evening, after dinner. It’s good to stay outdoor these days because it’s summer. It will be a change from our usual evening fare. We normally watch tv after dinner. But since it’s toasty warm [...]

Long and winded homily

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

If you are a Catholic or is well-versed with a Catholic mass, you would know what I will be yakking about. A long and winded homily… I am a Catholic all my life. I don’t have any intention of converting or have not even considered it. But I have an open mind and have always [...]

Auto insurance help

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My dad asked me about this auto insurance in NC that he saw online a few days ago. His friend was asking for his help in getting an auto insurance and he thinks this will do it for him. He told his friend to check it and I think I heard him say to get [...]

Stress and my former boss

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Stress can do bad things to your skin. A former co-worker had enough of my boss’s tantrums. One day, we were surprised to find her face all blotchy. She had black spots on her forehead that wasn’t there the day before. When she had it checked, her dermatologist told her that it was brought on [...]

I have been seeing this meme of sorts in various blogs so I thought why not do it as well. But instead of it being about me, I thought I’d list down 25 Random Things About My Family. We are a large family. My parents with 6 kids. We live in a house that my [...]

My brother and our cousin

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My brother was talking to a cousin of ours about used cisco. Both of them are taking up IT courses and it probably had something to do with it. These two boys in our family are of the same age. Our cousin, my dad’s sister’s son, is my brother’s best friend of sorts. They grew [...]
