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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Nothing beats going out with the family. Especially on an out of town trip. I went out with friends over the weekend at Baguio. I missed my family! I kept thinking that my sisters would love this place, they would love the food, etc. They are always at the back of my mind. Plus, when [...]
Our family loves watching TV shows together. In fact, we always watch the evening news together and then some of the teleseryes on the primetime block. We particularly follow Agua Bendita and Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo. Both teleseryes are love stories but centering on family issues. The child star who played the dual role of Agua [...]
I just miss how simple life was in the past. I’ve got nothing to worry about too much except how to pass the next exam. I have my mom to worry about the household, my dad for the income and payment of bills, my grandma for my additional needs. I have my siblings for my [...]
I hate inconsiderate neighbors! Unfortunately for me and my family, we live next to one. Every Sunday, they would crank up the volume of their videoke machine and they would take turns belting out one tune after another. We would have understood if there’s a special occasion. But to do it Sunday after Sunday without [...]
My plan is to buy a new home for the family this year. It’s a grand plan, I know. I am not sure if I can really do it this year. Or it might take me a year or two more before this dream can be fulfilled. But I am taking action. I want a [...]
Our family is very mababaw. Easily pleased, that is. Even a picnic somewhere is a big deal for us already. We can hang out at a comfy place and talk to whole day away. We can be like that most of the time. Even in our living room, or when dining together, we can spend [...]
Every year, we make it a point to celebrate Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve together as a family. We are taking advantage of the fact that we are still single and can celebrate these very special occasions together. We all know that one day, one of us can be married already and would be [...]
My mom’s gone for more than four years now. But during seasons like this, I still feel this overwhelming sadness. It would have been really cool to have her with us during those vacations we had after she passed away. The blessings came a little too late for her. And my brother… We went to [...]
I hate that I am so much tied to my feelings. I cannot function properly when I am feeling down. And these days, I easily get sucked down to the pits of emotional garbage. And when I do, expect me to stay there until something becomes a pick-me-up tool for me. If I can help [...]
I love space savers. Look at that bedroom set up above. Don’t you think it will look good in your kids’ room? I even want one in mine! I am keeping this photo for future reference.
It is extremely annoying to have inconsiderate neighbors! A baby was baptized this morning here in our neighborhood. And these neighbors of mine will find any excuse for them to drink themselves to oblivion. Fine! There’s an occasion. We will not complain about the noise. But do they really have to shout everything? One of [...]
When we were kids, my dad was never around much. My dad’s often at work or with friends. And he has many friends! I remember we always had a visitor day after day. We even had “housemates” that are friends of my dad. It might be the reasons why we don’t like other people living [...]
