Before I left for college, I used to go with my family to visit relatives who are a few hours drive from our place. We used to frequently visit relatives even in remote places where ATV Tires would be much appreciated. But more than 10 years of being often away from home, I am always [...]
Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of lipofuze reviews. No, still I want to do the natural way. And yes, I’m still struggling to lose weight. I even regained 0.5kg of the 2kgs that I lost after the detox program! But I’m looking for something that would help my mother and especially my sister. Both [...]
None of my parents smoke. Neither do I. But my younger brother started smoking more than ten years ago. We have been trying to dissuade him to no avail. To make things worse, he consumes a pack or two each day, taken from our small store. He is the reason why we no longer sell [...]
It’s still August and yet my mind is full with Christmas thoughts. It’s too soon to think about Christmas but not for me, and I guess for many OFWs like me. I have already booked my tickets two months ago. How I wish I could start my Christmas shopping soon but that would be impossible. [...]
Just one of my countless delayed posts. Just like every visitor here in Singapore, I took Shaynna, my mother and my sister to the Merlion. As expected, it was hard finding and grabbing a spot where one could take an exclusive photo with both the huge and the little Merlion. The bridge to the Merlion [...]
I received a flyer months ago about ITalkBB. It caught my attention because it was stated there that I only have to pay 14.99SGD a month for unlimited calls to the Philippines! I do admit I spend a lot for my long distance calls and I desperately wanted to cut it down. We do have [...]
I don’t have spare keys to all the door locks in our apartment but I make sure that I have one for my bedroom. Well, I’m not someone who keeps misplacing keys but it’s better to be sure, more so because it’s not that “easy-to-swipe” type. But at home in the Philippines, most of the [...]
It’s been ten years since I first tasted green tea. I almost threw up because the taste was just so different. And I did not even like the usual tea we had at home. After spending a few years in Japan eventually made me got used to it as green tea is more commonly offered [...]
I don’t know if many business establishments in the Philippines have this cat, but this started to catch my attention when I was in Japan. This cat is called the maneki neko, the “Beckoning Cat”, “Welcoming Cat”, “Lucky Cat”, “Money cat”, or “Fortune Cat”. Pick any term but it is believed to bring good luck [...]
Holy week is supposed to be a time for reflection, fasting, soul-searching. So I grew up knowing that during Holy Week, we are not supposed to go out, make noise, nor play. I used to tag along my grandmother who spends the Holy Week at the church. I thought that all people do the same. [...]
My mother is still in her mid-fifties. But she is already complaining about painful joints. In fact, when I was in my teens, she suffered a kind of arthritis that kept her bedridden for days. Thank God, she recovered from it. I didn’t know until I last came home that she had a little accident: [...]
My father was only 5 feet 4 inches tall. My mother stands at only 4 feet 11 inches. So, I’m not really surprised why I could not join beauty contests. As if I’d be qualified even if I get the minimum height requirement! Also, I don’t have the guts to wear a swimsuit in front [...]
