Let's thank the Lord for the year that was. Indeed, it was a very challenging year for me. With so many changes and discoveries. But what I learned is that, I am stronger than I used to think! Coping with life's challenges was never easy, but giving up was a heavier task to fulfill. I know 2013 would be different from the past...
from pics22.com I know this is a bit late but better late than never, so, Happy Holidays, Everyone! I may not have all the things I've listed on my wishlist but no amount of material presents could ever replace the love and warmth one can get from a loving family. Love is all around these days so grab it, its for free! And...
Again, another outstanding individual awed, not only the world, but the whole universe with her wit and charm, and showed what the Philippines is made of. Janine Tugonon won first runner up in the Miss Universe 2012 beauty pageant but certainly, you deserve the winning crown! Miss Philippines, the only Asian candidate who made it to the Top 10 couldn't have answered it...
Me and my family would like to request whoever may stumble upon and read this blog to take a moment of silence and offer a prayer for all the souls of the teachers and the little kids who became victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre. This is such a sorrow for the whole world. We would like to extend our sympathy...
Christmas is definitely just around the corner! At home, we have already set up our very own Christmas tree as well as the Christmas lights (though we will lit it up on start of Simbang Gabi to save some energy hehehe). With the holidays only days to go, what could be more exciting than to make a Christmas wishlist! I believe I'd...
Paulo Coelho is one of the many authors I admire. Simply because his books are really substantial. I've read just some of his books since I wasn't able to purchase his entire collection but I would definitely grab some more on the bookstore once I already have the budget. His books made me realize a lot of things and how we all get...
Christmas season is around every corner and its definitely the season for giving! Aside from the material things you can give as a gift, be most generous when it comes to giving L-O-V-E. This, you won't have to stretch your pocket and the best thing is, everybody would love to receive the gift of love. I found this very inspiring video circulating in...
These past few months, I've been completely enamored by God's blessings not just for me but for all the people dear to me. I was able to witness how much abundance of opportunity that can come along anyone's way if we just have a positive attitude and optimism regarding new things that could change our lives. So, forgive me for updating this blog...
Today marks another milestone for the American country: Barack Obama wins another 4 years presidential term. Since I am not an American citizen I don’t have much of an opinion regarding whoever should win the post, Obama or Romney. But hearing what some of my fellow Filipinos say, I deem it favorable for the Philippines that Obama is re-elected. Why? For one reason...
“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything -...
Ladies and gentlemen, today I am writing for one of my advocacies: October is National Breast Cancer Awareness. October is also the month my Mom died, 4 years ago due to this disease. And it was the most trying time of my life which I thought I would never be able to survive. Losing my Mom is like losing half of myself. But our...
September from now on not only marks the official start of the Christmas season but also, for our family, celebration of my dearest son's birthday. Oh yes, Swoosh would be 1 year old on September 26. How time really flies! Isn't it just yesterday when I first embraced him gently with my arms? One year almost passed and there's just too much realizations...
I don't if its just coincidence that whenever I decide to go on a diet, a lot of all of a sudden celebrations would emerge. Dear God, help me not to pig out! But God really tests my self-control. How can I say no to these mouth-watering Filipino dishes? Last Friday, me and my new colleagues at my new work celebrated Nap-nap's birthday....
How about that? California Pizza Kitchen will be giving away free pizza for every dine-in pizza you order on August 15, 2012 as their way of celebrating 15 years in the food industry. Weeee! What a payday treat! Aside from this promo, CPK will also be introducing around 20 new menus exclusively available in the Philippines, on the very same day. Some of...
Heavy rain pours down all over Manila for almost a week now and nearby provinces resulting to almost a similar scenario during the Ondoy 2009 storm. Our office declared no work today due to a lot of areas in the whole Metro not being passable. Keep safe everyone! Make sure you charge your phones and get ready your flashlights in case of emergency...
The start of the week had always been a assumed as a dreadful day to begin with. Monday, to most of us especially commuters - kids who go to school, working parents who prepare their children for school, working students, employees, etc - this is the least favorite day. Why? For me, Monday used to be the most unproductive day because firstly, the...
These past few days, I've been consulted by two of my girlfriends regarding their wedding planning. I think a lot of girls of would agree if I say that weddings, not debuts, are the ladies' ultimate celebration of their beauty and femininity. I remember planning my own wedding. It was stressful yet so addicting. Unfortunately, I was not able to execute my dream wedding....
Ask me what I hate most in the world, my answer would be Cancer. This disease took my mom away from us just when she was starting to enjoy the fruit of her labor in life. This disease has some form of a betrayal on it, just when you thought you are as healthy as can be, cancer cells suddenly produces themselves inside...
I know that I have a lot more to learn when it comes to financial literacy. But as far as I'm concerned, a lot of readers of this blog may have the same goal as mine, to reach their first million peso. I know its not a lot but hey, its still the start of becoming a millionaire! I am in the process...
For someone who works in the IT field, you would think that it may be odd that I never get interested in buying lots of gadgets. And I swear, if you want to know anything about gadgets, I may just be the last person you would like to ask for an opinion. Because honestly, I don't know anything about these high tech, expensive,...
It was four years ago when I last said I love you to you face to face. Four years have passed yet, everything seemed like yesterday. Come to think of it, so many things have happened but still, I admit that I have not yet moved on. Yes, every day, every minute, I still wish you are here with us. Enjoying life as...
Ok. Ok. I'm having very little time to update this blog since I'm now being a full time mom to my kiddo. I have no helper as of this moment so I cannot update the blog regularly. But I promise to update this page as often as I can when I already have the time. Time is such a precious thing! For now,...
Dahil medyo nammiss ko na ang Amerika, naisipan kong i-post muli ang isang artikulong ginawa ko habang naho-homesick ako noon. At para maiba naman dahil nagno-nosebleed din ako paminsan minsan sa mga Ingles kong blog, naisipan kong magpahinga muna sa wikang banyaga at gamitin ang wikang Tagalog. Sana magustuhan nyo ang mga mumunting obserbasyon sa maliit na panahon ng aking paglalagi sa Amerika....
Again, I am so busy at work I have no time to blog. I really miss posting on my site and seeing lot of traffic on my webpage. So I thought I need something worth reading to post and something that would really entice my readers' minds. :) Last week, I have just done one life-changing decision. I have just passed my resignation...
I don't have much time to blog today, so I'm just going to share this lyrics of one of my favorite songs. Its summer, so my advice is always wear sunscreen. Stay positive! And pass it on! Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by: Baz Luhrmann Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99 If I could offer you only one tip for the...
