Trekking this weekend

Mia and her friends will go trekking this weekend. They will be bringing a handheld gps with them so they would know the way to a cave they want to locate and explore. Mia and her friends are known for being adventurous. They once explored a place known for having quite a few dangerous animals [...]

Life is…

I don’t think there’s someone out there who can truly say that their life is grand. No problems and only good things happening… now that would be a lie! But you know, no matter what life may bring us, we can always choose to accept it with gratitude. We can always choose to think of [...]

Sleep is a luxury nowadays.

You know for some people sleep is a luxury nowadays. I am one of those people I am talking about. Working hard to earn and have a better life, when it’s time to sleep there are so many distractions and noise around that it becomes a hindrance for a peaceful slumber. What little hours spent [...]

Other than English and Filipino

Are there any other languages you wish you could speak? I wish I can speak Spanish, French, Japanese and Italian. My parents and my dad’s siblings can speak Spanish haltingly. My mom learned it in college while my dad and his siblings learned it from their grandmother. They haven’t taught us younger generation yet but [...]

Friends for life

There are a handful of people that I consider friends for life. The people that I am praying to be with me until we are all old and gray. They are the people I am preparing gifts for special occasions always. Like right now I am already thinking of christmas gift ideas for her… for [...]

Trying to avoid now

One of the things I am trying to avoid these days is to acquire another debt again. Who wants to be in debt, right? I have been in various situations where I had to ask for loans from relatives and friends and even from financial institutions. I was sending siblings to school and my salary [...]

Personality

The quote above about personality reminded me of a TV show I watched where a couple was talking about love. The man said that in the twilight of their lives, where sex is no longer part of the equation in a relationship and physical beauty is no longer what men look for, it’s the personality [...]

Homeworks and project assignments

My cousins are in grade and high schools. There are five of them still in school and they are requesting for their father (my paternal uncle) to buy at least some refurbished laptop computers for them. They know their father is the sole breadwinner in their family so he can’t very well buy them a [...]

Don’t want to!

The twins refuse to wear their name tags unless they are already in school. The twins who are both boys are already experiencing self-consciousness on certain things like fashion, appearance and the like. I think the twins are afraid someone might tease them about the name tags. I do think that parents should find the [...]

One thing I learned from mom…

…is that the important documents should be filed away, must have a back-up copy, and that all of those documents can be found in one place. So that worse comes to worst something happens, the documents can easily be retrieved by any member of the family. That’s one thing that I learned from my mom. [...]

Just a bend

I saw the poster above in my aunt’s Facebook wall. I thought it’s a good reminder for me who loses hope a lot these days. I must say that my faith is taking a battering the past couple of weeks. I am in a weak state right now. I am not proud of it and [...]

Send out invites now!

I believe in “early bird gets the worm”. That’s why I am already ordering Christmas invitations for a family gathering this coming December 26th. We always hold a holiday family reunion of sorts after Christmas day. But just to be sure that the day will be marked as reserved for the party, I am going [...]

MM: Yeah! 3x

It’s raining here in Manila due to a typhoon. And to energize our drowsy selves, I thought Chris Brown’s Yeah 3x is a great song to accompany this wet Monday morning… Happy Monday! Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the actual post link here and grab [...]

A grown man’s collection

Warren has a collection that he loves so much: RC cars. Yes, he is from that generation who raced RCs round a race track. I remember that his love for cars and its machines started the very first time he laid his eyes on a RC truck. From then on, he made it a point [...]

The Tech Guys

My cousin and my brother. I call them The Tech Guys. They are both about to finish a degree in Information Technology and are aiming to land Web Developer Jobs. That’s the area of expertise they are focusing on now. I am all for supporting both of them. Being a tech guy these days is [...]
