I saw a beautiful floral arrangement by Martha Stewart online last night. It reminded me that Mother’s Day is coming up pretty soon… You know, I grew up with so many mother figures around me. Aside from my mom, my dad’s younger sister, Tita Windy, is also a mother of sorts to me. I remember [...]
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will surely remember my business idea. I pitched it in with two of my friends and they both loved the idea! Unfortunately, the funds that I was expecting did not materialize so I had to scrap the whole plan. Oh, that’s figuratively only. The business [...]
Here is this week’s question… Are you a patient person? Has your patience been tested a lot of times? What have you done about it? Unfortunately, I have yet to learn the fine art of patience. I have never been a patient person. Actually, I am well-known among family and friends as the most impatient [...]
Two men almost drowned yesterday. They tried to take on the waves in the ocean, not knowing that the waves would only carry them away from the shore. Fortunately for them, two lifeguards saw them. They were rescued. But to illustrate to you how powerful the waves were… it took six lifeguards to save two [...]
My dad, my sister, Hazel and I went to a street near a chapel we went to last Maundy Thursday for our annual Visita Iglesia. The church was situated at the corner of a street. At the end of it where newly-built townhouses being sold. We went there and checked out the unit. All the [...]
The art of link building is very common, especially for a blogger like me. I know that each link I put in my blog will drive traffic to the web site or blog I am linking to. The same goes for where I am linked to. Traffic could mean a lot to a web site. [...]
When I was a kid, I got envious with my friends who were able to travel to different places during holidays and summer breaks. My parents couldn’t afford trips what with six kids between them. But don’t get me wrong. My childhood was a happy one. Aside from the travels that we couldn’t afford, I [...]
I get sore throat easily. I just have to eat something sweet and my throat will surely get sore. Anyway, one of the things I thought of as a remedy is to drink lots of water throughout the day. At least eight glasses as they say. But what I did was I bought personalized water [...]
What kinds of gifts you give your love ones during special occasions? Do you give something off the top of your head? Or do you give something generic, much like what you would give to an acquaintance who invited you to a birthday party? Personally, I feel like each gift should be special to the [...]
We have not visited our relatives in the countryside for quite some time now. We have been planning to visit but since most of my siblings’ work schedule coincides with the planned date, it got postponed again and again. Last week, we were able to visit because my sister took a vacation leave. And boy [...]
I have always said that having kids is a big responsibility that should not be rushed into. You always have to think a million times before deciding on having a child. If you have more than enough for yourself, then that’s the time you can proceed in considering having a kid. But then if you [...]
My sisters and I are talking about getting luxury hotel rooms before the summer season ends. We just want to stay there overnight, experience living luxuriously even for a night. When you grow up and have been living in the same house for three decades already, an overnight stay somewhere sounds like a great getaway! [...]
I don’t think a diet pill did that to her body. I am talking about a local celebrity, rumored to be getting scientific help but always denying it. I don’t know why these people are denying going under the knife to help them look better. Hey, if you can afford it, if it benefits you, [...]
