One of the things I like about my aunt’s home is the contemporary furniture that she has. It blends well with the style of her home. I must admit, I am not good in arranging furniture or even blending it. That’s why I leave these things to my sister and my dad. They know better. [...]

There are so many things one can buy for home these days. When we went to the mall yesterday, there was a big sale going on. As much as 30% off on different items like electric fans, washing machines, blinds, lcd tv and tv lifts, living and dining room sets and so many more. I [...]

When my sister, Grace, started complaining about her eyes and how it hurts from time to time, I got worried about it. You see, our family has a history in poor vision. I don’t want anything to happen to my sister that I know will affect her work. She is a teacher by profession, She [...]

My siblings and I are used to sharing things. When you come from a big family and you are not really well-off, you get used to the fact that every little thing that can be shared should be shared. When we were kids, my sisters and I shared a big bed. We shared toys and [...]

It’s been raining for days now. Typhoons are coming in and out of the country again. We don’t officially have a signal here in Manila but the rain kept pouring for hours at end. This is the time of the year that we have to make sure that our doors and windows are properly locked. [...]

We have someone who’s doing the laundry for us. We noticed three or four months ago that our clothes smelled so nice. We knew it wasn’t the detergent bar or powder so my dad asked her what she’s using. A fabric softener. We didn’t want to use that before fearing the smell would not be [...]
