Costly services

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Every little thing concerning life and even death is costly. Hospitalization, medicine, therapy, burial, funeral costs. All of it can be expensive! So if there is a way for you to alleviate your love ones’ worries about the costs when you get sick or you suddenly pass away, do it. There are burial and funeral [...]

Happy Monday everyone!

This month’s electric bill

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Have you seen your electric bill for the month yet? I kept reading about how your average bill amount doubled for this current statement period. I have yet to receive our bill and I am already anticipating that it will make my head ache. Sobrang init na nga, iinit pa lalo ulo ng maraming tao [...]

Adobong Pata

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

When I was a kid, a Sunday becomes special to the whole family when my mom would cook adobong pata (pork leg adobo). I come from a middle class family who regards expensive pork leg adobo and rice as a special meal already. My mom was a good cook and we loved her adobong pata. [...]

Benefits for your love ones

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

You will never know the value of your whole life insurance. Only those you will leave behind that will benefit from it will know how valuable the coverage can be. That’s what happened to my friend. He didn’t know that his mom took out five life insurance coverages during her lifetime. He was the sole [...]

Separation. Divorce.

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

It’s really sad how a divorce affects the kids. Some grow up to have hang ups in life. Some suffer from psychological problems. Some pretend to be unaffected but deeply scarred by it. I know there was a point back in the past when my parents almost separated. They were constantly fighting about my mom’s [...]

Facial blemishes

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I keep on reminding my brother to be extra careful when it comes to using anything on his face. He is at an age where he’s vulnerable to so many skin blemishes. Pimples, acne, etc. I don’t want him to be at a point where he will be in need of acne pills. Or any [...]

Growing old

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Wrinkles. It’s inevitable. We all grow old whether we like it or not. We all get exposed to the sun and the other elements of nature that speed up the aging process. We laugh, we cry, we frown, we get angry a lot. All those emotions get etched on our face. Of course, there are [...]

My dad’s snores

Monday, April 19th, 2010

My dad’s snoring is one of the most reassuring sounds for me. You know why? It’s because I know he’s just one shout away. I know that he will be there whatever happens. Weird but I really find his snores a comfort when I am working early in the morning. It also makes me feel [...]

Love rugs

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

My dad bought a couple of outdoor rugs for the veranda. I might have mentioned this already in the past but I will say it again. Our family loves rugs. We have them on the wall and on the floor. Not only does it make the floor clean but it also is a great accent. [...]

Passed out

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

I am alarmed by an episode I saw of a reality show about people who want to lose weight. An old contestant passed out because his blood pressure dropped while working out. My sisters are also working out daily and it concerns me because they are both overweight. I don’t want them passing out like [...]

More photos

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

I forgot to bring my cellphone’s micro sd when we went to Baguio recently. Because of it, I was not able to take a lot of photos. My digicam is busted so I didn’t bring it with me. I don’t like being photographed a lot. But when I am on an out of town trip [...]

Neglectful father

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

I can’t understand how some parents can neglect their kids. I read this report about a father who left his kids, one is a 9-month old baby and one is a 3-year old kid, inside a car while he went inside a strip club to have fun. The car was about to be towed because [...]

TV on!

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

When I was at the hotel, I kept thinking that I want two tv stands in the room where I can put the TV on. One near the bed, and one inside the bathroom. Ha! I am such a couch potato! Seriously, while in the hotel room alone, the only thing keeping me sane was [...]

Conscious of her weight

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Two of my three sisters are teachers. One of them teaches pre-school kids. She is bothered when she weighed herself and found that less than a month into her vacation and she’s already in need of diet pills that work. My sister is now working out every day. Exercising, cutting down on her more than [...]
