Love at first sight

I don’t think there’s such a thing as love at first sight per se. A person doesn’t really fall in love from afar. A person can only fall in love when he/she already knows the other person well. There is a LIKE at first sight. A man can really be infatuated with a woman who [...]

Sing out loud!

What songs must you always sing the lyrics out loud to? I actually love singing out loud to good music, especially those which are my favorites. Like these two… Smiling Face by James Taylor Whenever I see your smiling face I have to smile myself Because I love you (Yes, I do) And when you [...]

Disasters

Have you ever experienced an earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster? If you live in a tropical country like ours, I am sure you already experienced typhoons and floods. We get so many typhoons in a year that it would be hard to miss one. And of course, since most of the typhoons that come [...]

Annoyed with someone

When I get annoyed with someone, it’s so hard for me to keep it to myself. I am normally a very outspoken person. That’s why they say that I’m very transparent with my emotions. I can’t hide it. I can’t make myself move forward unless I let it all out. This is one of the [...]

It’s Sunday! ;)

I love Sunday mornings. When everyone is still asleep and you can feel the groans and moans of the house. You can walk around the house and you’d feel peace and quiet surrounding you. I love this time of the day. What are your plans for today, huh? Going to the Sunday market? Or to [...]

Looking forward to

It’s so good to look forward to a fun something on weekends. Even a little trip to the Sunday market or a movie date with your friends will already look like an oasis after a week of stressful work. This weekend, I am looking forward to a trip out of town with the family. It’s [...]

Elusive inspiration

Lately, inspiration hasn’t been knocking on my door. I couldn’t find the right words to go hand in hand with the ideas in my mind. I have so much to share yet I couldn’t make myself do it. There’s just something not jiving with everything. I am easily motivated. But I am also easily discouraged. [...]

Sunrise, sunset

Who doesn’t like seeing the sun rise and set? I am just reminded of a dream, a plan, to watch the sun rise and set in a province with someone. There was a plan to start a life there should things wouldn’t go our way. It was all planned out of fear and excitement and [...]

Brand new house

I saw this photo of a celebrity’s brand new house. It says in the caption that the celebrity spent his Christmas and new year celebrations in this brand new house of his. Wow! The first thing that popped in my head was I wish I can spend Christmas this year in our brand new house [...]

Happy 2011 to all!

Are you ready to welcome 2011? I am. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Hurtful words

It hurts a lot when you hear a friend or a relative say something bad to you. It hurts much more if the one saying something bad to you is a family member. A dear friend of mine poured her heart out to me a couple of hours ago. She told me that her only [...]

Slowly but surely

I kept telling my friend that when a person is down there is no way to go but up. She’s been depressed for the past few months now, with a nagging financial problem. She’s been alternating between hopeful and defeated. I kept reminding her that everything will fall into place soon. Always in God’s time [...]

Old me, new me

I have been in a negative mood when I woke up this morning. I saw a comment left in Facebook by a non-entity in my life and I let myself get irked by it. I told myself that I should have just ignored it but I guess I let my old self materialize this morning. [...]

Busy climbing the ladder

My friend is a very ambitious person. There’s nothing wrong with it. In fact, I admire him for being that way. We both came from a middle-class family. He was raised by a single mom and grew up ‘begging’ his father for what he needed. He studied really hard. Did everything to get a license [...]

Temper problem

I tend to be overcome with annoyance and irritation. Easily. I must admit that I have a temper problem. I got it from my dad. I try to control my temper most of the time but just like the next person, there are days when I just burst with emotions. And when I do, I [...]
