My aunt and her husband and her daughter encountered a travel emergency a few months ago. Presence of mind saved the three of them. I am a worry wart. I admit that. When someone in the family is still out of the house, I won’t rest easy until they get home safe and sound. That [...]
There are Jobs in Sales available for those who are without one right now. I know that with the recession, a lot of people have lost their jobs. Good thing there are available jobs for those who are qualified. As I’ve said in the beginning of the year, I am blessed to have a work-at-home [...]
I saw an old friend last weekend. He’s already living in another country. He said that it’s funny how you crave for something that you think is great but when you actually experience it, you will know that it’s horrible. Snow for instance. When he was still not living abroad, he really wanted to experience [...]
Because my aunt will be having their newly bought house renovated, she asked some of us to help them. Before going to their new house, I made sure I brought with me my safety glasses. Can’t have my eyes exposed to the dangers of unidentified objects flying around. Or to be poked in the eye. [...]
…anything related to finance is being asked on me. Like matters on taxation and accounting. It is okay with me. In fact, I feel flattered at times. Because I know they trust me with important matters. Like today. My aunt’s husband called me up regarding a tax matter on the house they are buying. He [...]
When my tito Willie visits us, expect to be lectured about the business world. What’s new, what’s not. What’s the latest in the banking world. What’s happening to his businesses. He called me up to ask about rv financing last night. And guess what? He gave me a lecture about the tax on the contribution [...]
I used to love playing with a skipping rope. When I was a kid, I could skip all day and I wouldn’t get tired of it. That’s how much I love playing skipping rope that time. Probably because I was still young, very active with games, I was skinny back then. It’s like I was [...]
I love the smell of freshly cut grass. It reminds me of the few vacations we had when I was a kid. I love the smell of grilled meat. It reminds me of the few barbeque picnics we had in the past. I love the smell of freshly laundered clothes. And the smell of garlic [...]
Health is the number one worry I have for me and my family. We are a family of overweight people. Only my brother, our youngest, is the healthy one. The rest of us are overweight. Because of this, I am in constant search of anything that we can use for the future. Like a cheap [...]
My aunt’s… lovely, isn’t it? I want one on my corner at home Happy Monday everyone!
When I visited a friend of mine at her home, one of the things that struck me was the beauty of her kitchen. According to her, they used stainless steel backsplash tile. That’s why it looked totally different from the usual kitchens I see. Which is true. It is totally different, exotic even. I am [...]
I love dancing. I was active in dancing when I was still in school. When I started working, it became irregular because I only go dancing when I go clubbing that time. And then it came to a stop. Work got in the way. When I enrolled at a gym to lose weight for my [...]
Our little girl is being invited to attend a horse show organized by the local community. She loves seeing horses. When we went to Baguio last year, she even rode on one. And took lots of pictures with her on it. Of course, when she heard that she’ll be attending a horse show, she immediately [...]
This is my very first entry for Mellow Yellow Monday. This is a Filipino dish called Pakbet or Pinakbet. Love it!
I am a Catholic. Our family has an annual tradition where we attend the 9-day novena in honor of the Our Lady of Queen of the Holy Rosary of La Naval de Manila. On the Sunday immediately after the novena is the feast day of our town. Every year, there is a procession of all [...]
