I might need the diet pills later in the day. My friend, Tim, and I will be meeting for some much needed girl talk later before noon. We will be watching Angels and Demons (I know, we’re late already!) and will be chowing down in a new restaurant. I am sure we will be spending [...]
I was checking faucets online when I happened to view Ellen’s home. Wow! I love how homey it looks and the layout of the house is something I would want for my own. I love her dining area, patio, bathroom, bedroom, everything! Even the colors are pleasant to the eyes. It’s all white. I have [...]
Have you heard about the “Death with Dignity” law of Washington and Oregon in the US? It is assisted suicide for those who are terminally ill and have no more recourse. Linda Fleming of Sequim, 66 years old, had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She died Thursday night last week after she took drugs prescribed under [...]
I lost an important jewelry given to me by my aunt about a year ago. I thought I lost it out of the house when we went on a vacation. But then I had the sudden urge to clean the room yesterday and was surprised to find the jewelry I lost! It was inside an [...]
I am off to the mall tomorrow to run some errands for the family. I love running errands for them because it gives me a compelling reason to get off my butt and get out of the house. I will be buying two mini radios for my dad and my grandma. And a micro sd [...]
Happiness can be a strong appetite suppressant. I noticed that people who are in love, giddy with happiness, and those that are on a natural high because of success do not eat that much. I’ve been in this same situation in the past so I can safely say that this observation is based on first [...]
My aunts were lecturing me and my sisters last night about being overweight and not doing anything about it. In our family, being overweight is normal. Especially those with families already. But since my sisters and I are still single, the elders are lecturing us about staying in shape lest we become as overweight as [...]
It really depresses me whenever I hear a person is suffering from cancer. I just read about someone with Mesothelioma cancer and it really brought me down. Maybe this is brought on by the fact that my brother died of cancer of the blood, leukemia. I know the pain being undergone by the family of [...]
Bad Credit is bad. I once had this problem due to unpaid credit card bills. Lucky for me, I was able to settle it in due time. But since then, I stopped using credit cards and have cleaned out my credit report. I should mention that I was lucky to find a financial advisor who [...]
My little cousin, Patrick, is a clumsy kid. For some reason, he falls down a lot. Slips a lot. And always bumps their tv stand when walking fast inside their house. Good thing their tv set is balanced properly, otherwise, it would have fallen down a couple of times by now. Worse, it would have [...]
I must admit, I am not a pet person. I love dogs but I am not sure if I can take care of one. We have a pet dog at home and my dad’s the one in-charge with him. My sister is the one always clamoring for another pet, a cute little puppy. But I [...]
When you say family, what does it mean? Does it mean immediately family only? Does it include the extended family? Does it include a few very close family friends? Personally, family for me includes my immediate family and only close relatives. By relatives I mean my father’s side of the family and not all of [...]
Here is this week’s question… Do you like your neighborhood? Do you like your neighbors? Just like Teacher Julie’s answer, I don’t. I don’t like our neighborhood nor the neighbors that we have. Actually, I have a love-hate relationship with everything surrounding our residence. Some of our neighbors are distant relatives. What I don’t like [...]
Did you know that in Saudi Arabia, a girl or boy under 15 years old can be legally married? There is a big case about a court in Saudi Arabia granting an 8-year-old girl to divorce her 47-year-old husband. The little girl was married to the man by her father as a payment of sorts [...]
My brother is very conscious when it comes to his skin. You can say that he’s more than a bit vain. He looks at his face at least five times a day in the mirror just to make sure that there is no skin breakout normal for boys his age and that he does not [...]
