Crazy For You
Crazy For You by Madonna is the song I secretly dream of singing in public. *laughs I am a closet singer. Literally. That’s because I sing in the closet. Or in the bathroom. Or I whisper the lyrics to myself. I love singing but I don’t think people should be subjected to my croaky voice. [...]
Block that date
I was looking at the 2009 calendar/planner I bought two weeks ago. It was a cute planner that has some inspirational messages inside. I was looking at March and I was wishing I could put “buy luggage” on one of the boxes on it. It would be really fun to go on a vacation where [...]
New week, new year
I haven’t done that much these past week and I don’t think I will be able to finish that much this week as well. I have to do so many things but I am taking it slow, with so many parties to go to and so many people to catch up with. Next week, a [...]
Soothing to the eyes
My eyes are aching from the lighting fixtures at home. I think it needs to be changed to something more soothing to the eyes. I often read at night. I love reading in a corner of the house where no one will disturb me. I am re-reading one of my all time favorite series, The [...]
To all of you…

One set of songs
I am currently listening to a local radio station. I will tell you something about each song that plays from here on until the break… One of my favorite Martin Nievera songs is Each Day With You. I just love that sweet song. I remember hearing that song in a dance. Hay. It became our [...]
Special gifts
My sister teaches special children. She is focused on two of them. One has autism and the other one has cerebral palsy. I already met the two of them and they’re both special children, figuratively and literally. This morning, I received a text message from my sister. It was their Christmas party. She told me [...]
Bookworm me
Old habits die hard. My sister was ribbing me about re-reading books that I love. I have this habit of retreating to something familiar and safe when my world is upside-down. I have an old smartphone that I use as an ebook reader now. I don’t use it as a cellphone anymore. I bought a [...]
MM: The Last Time
My sister was the one who reminded me of this song. She told me that when she gets married, this will be her wedding song… I love the cool voice of Eric Benet. Listen to The Last Time below and make your Monday morning as soothing as possible. Happy Monday!

When you have a dream you’ve got to grab it and never let go. – Carol Burnett I am never letting go until I achieve it. It is not only for me but for my family as well. A farm where we can all go and retire in the future. A place that will become [...]
Cravings gone now…
Another cup of latte. This time, with a little more thick cream. Sigh. Craving for sweets come far apart. Once every two months or so. But when they do, it wreaks havoc to my system. Chocolates. Cakes. A thick froth. Another cube of sugar. Time for a Fenterdren then. Today, I know the craving’s gone [...]
Two things
Let me tell you two things about me… First, I am very transparent. It is hard for me not to show what I am feeling inside. For some reason, I couldn’t make my face follow my instructions. Look happy. But when I feel like crap inside, you will see it right away. Look somber. But [...]

Giving in
Yesterday was a chocolate craving day for me. And I gave in. After eating a few, all I could think about afterwards was treadmills and how I would want to run and sweat it out. Most of the time, you will realize that giving in to the craving could be bad for you. I try [...]
A lot of things
When I am alone in my corner by the window, a lot of things run in my mind. This afternoon, while almost everyone was out, I am thinking of having my hair cut tomorrow. And then I was thinking about being more active once again. I was also thinking about the good stuff. Travels and [...]
Going on a vacation
I was looking out the window, from my favorite spot in the house, when I realized that I have not really been out of it for quite some time now. I am so focused with my work that I have little time left for relaxation. I normally allot time for myself once a quarter. You [...]
Rain, rain…
It’s raining outside right now. And all I could think about is getting a latte. I avoid rain as much as possible. Sure, I like it. But when my head is under a roof. I easily get sick when I walk under a torrent. I am better off just gazing at it through the window. [...]
50% Caffeine
With all the latte I have been consuming for months now, I won’t be surprised if the doctor checks me and finds 50% of my body functions out of the caffeine I am consuming. I know I gain a lot drinking latte twice a day at times. Even an alli won’t do me much good, [...]
Monday Musings #3
“On a lazy Saturday morning when you’re lying in bed, drifting in and out of sleep, there is a space where fantasy and reality become one. Are you awake, or are you dreaming? You see people and things; some are familiar; some are strange. You talk, you feel, but you move without walking; you fly [...]
