A good candidate

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

My friend is a good candidate for customer service jobs. Aside from the fact that she has lots of experience dealing with client complaints and requests, she is also a very patient person. We all know that when it comes to job posts dealing with customers, patience is a must., My friend is not only [...]

Two things…

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Everyday there’s a certain sadness in my heart that I feel for the day lost. I have become a passive person. I just let life pass me by. I am asking for pity or anything. I am just stating a fact. When I found out four years ago that I am comfortable with working at [...]

A little after midnight

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Have you noticed how the temperature drops a little after midnight? It does! If you haven’t noticed it yet, considering waking up around one in the morning and you’ll notice the freezing temperature. I swear I will get an electric blanket within the week! Don’t get me wrong. I actually love cold weather. Less sweating, [...]

Shopping fan

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

One of my closest friends is a big fan of shopping. You can actually see her relaxing after a hard day at work. And her form of relaxation? Online shopping! She is into the dereon brand right now. Bags in particular. She’s a big spender and she has the right to be. She earns a [...]

Extending a helping hand

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

One of my mom’s relatives went to me to ask for a financial assistance. It was a small amount but I turned her down. I don’t like turning anyone down when it comes to financial assistance because I know the feeling of rejection. I’ve been there one time too many in the past that I [...]

When she gets sick

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Auntie Trish is getting a North Carolina health insurance for her daughter. She is taking up a Business degree at a university in NC and well, as a precaution, auntie is already getting her something she can use when she gets sick there. It’s hard being away from your kids. I know that since whenever [...]

A frequent traveler?

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Do you travel often? If you are a frequent traveler, this travel reward card is for you. Imagine earning 1 point per dollar used wherever VISA is accepted. Now that’s a good reward program, if you ask me. RV owners can now have more benefit than an RV they can use to travel around. They [...]

Lumpy mattress

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Comfort. I always go for that when I buy things for me and my family. My brother just asked me if I can get him a new mattress. The one he’s using right now already feels lumpy according to him. I think he’s been using the same mattress for the past four years now. There’s [...]

Outspoken on family issues

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I am very outspoken when it comes to my opinions on matters that affect the family. Most of the time, I just blurt it out. I don’t think. I just say my opinions out loud. I know I offend others at times. But that’s me. I do censor my thoughts sometimes, depending on who I [...]

Kitchen remodeling

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I am having our kitchen remodeled. I just find it too messy most of the time that one day, I just decided that I would set aside a fund for its remodeling. So I called up my uncle and he will hire assistants to help him do the job. My sister and I are looking [...]

Fast cars

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

One of my cousins is a big fan of fast cars! He collects miniature versions of his favorites. Ferrari is his all time favorite car brand. He is saving enough money to buy one. Even an old model will do for him. A friend of his offered an old model to him but he had [...]

Birth control program

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Education on birth control is really needed in the Philippines and in other countries suffering from extreme poverty. Imagine a couple living under a bridge with the creek directly under their make-shift house… and a baby! Can you imagine the number of diseases the baby is exposed to not to mention the fact that the [...]

A must for cars

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

A cheap car insurance will do. That’s what my uncle told his friend who bought a second hand car last week. My uncle bought one, too, a couple of years ago. He set aside getting car insurance for it. When he figured in an accident (thank goodness he suffered minor bruises only), he had no [...]

A brand new cell phone

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I bought a brand new cellphone. It’s actually my sister’s gift to me. I’ve been thinking of getting one a couple of weeks ago so when I told my sister about this, she said that she would just give me one for my birthday. So two days before my birthday, I read cell phone reviews [...]

How do you choose godparents?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

In our family, we usually get relatives who are close to us as godparents to the little ones. It makes sense considering the godparents act as second parents to the kids. Imagine getting a co-worker as a godparent. And then two years after, you resign from work and hardly ever see your co-worker again. What [...]
