Hazel and I were watching an episode of a local soap. It was about three orphans losing the only family they have. The soap was a comedy but while I was watching, it hit me how kids are so dependent on the adult they call a parent or guardian. And how they are so lost [...]
I really don’t like it when neighbors have to disturb us just because they need something done at their homes. It would have been okay if they’re knocking at decent hours. They love knocking on hours someone’s asleep! It’s irritating! My dad’s a bit more gracious. He won’t comment about it. But I’m a different [...]
I have simple dreams for my family. A secure future, good health and a sturdy roof over their heads. Include annual family vacations and I’d be happy to leave them any time it’s needed already. When we were younger, we hardly ever go on vacations. My parents couldn’t afford it. So I want my siblings [...]
My cousin Bea is having a hard time sleeping even when she’s tired. She tried everything: warm milk, a boring book, a warm shower, counting sheep… So her friends told her to try sleep aids. It might be the only thing that can help her get a good night’s rest. I think being a worry [...]

She started with lemonade stands and progressed to baked goods and now she’s into buy and sell [...]
We spend our Sundays at home. We often spend it catching up on the events of the past week and doing DVD marathon. We just spend it together as much as possible. Sunday is a family day to us. I know some people who go out with friends and spend their weekends elsewhere, away from [...]
I stopped drinking soda since January 1st of this year. I did it for me and my family. We’ve been drinking soda daily during lunch and I knew it was not healthy but it became a habit. It was a very bad habit that if no one in the family would start kicking the habit [...]

I need to find a way to reduce body fat. My body fat. I admit that I love to eat. I even binge from time to time especially when I am stressed out or really tired. So losing weight is just too hard for me. But if I think about my health, that’s when I [...]
I got Patrick some stuff for the competition he’s joining. I just forgot one important piece of clothing item… the breeches! He needs that one because the drama competition has costume as one of the basis for scoring the groups. Patrick plays a rich kid who enjoys horse riding. My cousin is very active in [...]
I never stop being the older sister when it comes to my siblings. When my sisters encounter a difficulty, even if they don’t tell me about it, I feel it when they arrive from work. I know when they sit down beside my work desk at home. I know even though they are silent the [...]

They can print business cards, postcards, flyers and brochures and many more. I think I am not the only one who’s always on the lookout for something cheaper but still [...]
Halloween! It’ll be a little over three weeks from now. Are you ready with your halloween costumes? Are your little kids as excited as mine? I think I will buy a princess costume for Hazel. It will make her happy. She loves anything princess right now. The costume will also be serving two purposes: for [...]
I feel like I need more time to pray. I think I am just mouthing words instead of letting it come from the heart. I think that I am doing the Lord a disservice by praying daily but really talking to him once a week. It’s not right. Sayang there’s no affordable spiritual retreat I [...]
If you know kids, you know they’d appreciate a playstation 3 more than a savings account or a time deposit. That’s what I told an older cousin who gave her son a time deposit certificate. Of course, her son was not able to appreciate the certificate and just looked at it. He is 8 years [...]
