Spooky!
Have you ever been so spooked in your life? I was! I remember the building where the company I was working at was housed had an emergency. The second floor was on fire and every one inside the building was asked to go down using the fire exit. The emergency lights were on but it [...]
Bedridden
My grandma has diabetes and is already bedridden. I buy packs of disposable diapers for her. Lately though, she refuses to wear one because of the rashes that developed on her skin. I am in asking a relative to take care of her since I am incapable of doing so. I don’t know anything about [...]
Should be clean
My sister has this thing for faucets. Whenever she sees one even a tad bit dirty, she doesn’t want to open that one. She feels like the tool where clean water should come out from should be clean in the first place. Which is correct. Although how she sees little things is beyond me really. [...]
Torn

She is applying for a dual citizenship but she’s encountering so many problems along the way. I know that she’s one of the few persons very passionate about her country of origin but since she [...]

A suprise message
I am not much into social networking sites. But I have a Friendster account that I open every other day just to check if a friend left me a message or if there are updates with my close friends. I love looking at their photos and knowing how they are. Just the other day, I [...]
Fall back
Opportunity knocks only once. I believe that. That’s why when a good opportunity comes my way, something that I know will be beneficial to me in the long run, I grab it. Like this Go Green Business Opportunity that my friend was telling me about. Even before, those close to me have been telling me [...]

Online romance
Romance can be found everywhere! At times, you can find romance when and where you least expect it. I am sure most of you will agree with me <3 Consider this. Chloe was a staff in a big BPO company here in the country. It was a US holiday that day and she was in [...]

Country Style Coffee, Ham & Swiss and Bagel
One of the cheaper coffee-to-go here in Manila is the one from Country Style. When I saw a kiosk last week, I realized how I missed those early morning coffees at the mezzanine of the building I was working at. There were days when I go there alone to have coffee. Most of the time, [...]

Awkward habit
I was chatting with a friend a couple of nights ago. We were talking about a common friend who has a habit of asking for gifts. We were often told about this awkward habit of our common friend but we were not inclined to believe it before. Until the issue about the gift card came [...]

The photo was publish in the entertainment magazine that sold 200,000 copies, a first in local entertainment publication. Out of curiosity, I bought a copy.
