Disneyland. We haven’t been there. We were planning on going last year but things came up and we had to postpone our vacation. We are planning once again and hopefully, the orlando vacations we are looking at will push through. We didn’t have much when we were growing up. To live a rather comfortable life, [...]

I am waiting for the wedding invitations to arrive. A high school friend and a cousin are both getting married before the year ends. I am not sure of the dates so I am still waiting for it. Anyway, these weddings came to mind because of that Jill and Kevin’s wedding entrance dance viral video. [...]

Because my dad reprimanded her and her cousin (who happens to be the wife of another uncle) for allowing her 14-year-old daughter to have a relationship with her teacher! My uncle is working abroad and he doesn’t know anything about it. [...]

My friend and I were talking about her younger brother. A decade ago, when I last saw him, he was this happy young man with almost every thing he asked for. He was even showing off his spanking brand new car with custom headlights and a gleaming dashboard. My friend told me that a few [...]

A younger cousin of mine, Felice*, got pregnant when she turned 18. It was a big issue in the paternal side of the family that time. My cousin was banished from the ancestral house where her whole family lives. She can still come visit but she can’t live there anymore. My aunts, who shell out [...]

I would like to have the tiles in the bathroom upstairs changed. A glass tile will replace the one near the window to bring in more light. Anyway, you won’t see anything looking through the glass tiles. And it will also give the bathroom a decorative wall. I am a little bit particular when it [...]

Two of my grand-aunts are spinsters. Since they don’t have kids of their own to take care of them, my cousins and I take turns taking care of them, running errands for them and spending time with the two. Both are processing their social security disability benefits and I am tasked to help them do [...]
