Love bags!
I normally don’t shop unless I really need something. I buy clothes or shoes only when I have to. Like there’s an important event I have to attend. Or my pair of fave shoes is already worn out. But when my friend told me about the wholesale handbags that she was able to purchase and [...]
More for less
I’m all for a good deal. I tell friends to take advantage of these deals as well, to save on money. A Chinese friend taught me to be wise when it comes to handling my finances. I may not be that wise yet but then I make sure that I look for the best deal [...]
Perfect combination
This is the best time for steaming mugs of coffee. It’s still raining hard outside and the weather has gone from hot to a bit cooler. I sit near the window and I am loving the sound of rain, drowning out the other unnecessary sounds around. I am listening to The Coffeehouse of Yahoo! Music [...]
Having a pet
Having a pet entails a lot of responsibility. You feed it properly, groom it and take care of it. You don’t just let your pet unkempt. You have to make sure that your pet dog or cat does not have fleas. My cousin uses Frontline to control the fleas of her pup. And she really [...]
Shopping = Relaxing
There is something relaxing about shopping. It can be for clothes, shoes, jewelries, furniture… When an aunt or a cousin asks me to accompany them in shopping, I ask them for what? And when they say for home, I say yes right away! I get bored easily when you take me shopping for clothes or [...]
You wouldn't believe!
Seriously. Some things in this world are just so confusing. Like my former co-worker who can eat like she hasn’t been fed for years but still maintains a great figure! You should see her eat. You wouldn’t believe she can down two platefuls of food. But she seems not to gain weight afterwards. It’s like [...]
Rain some more!
Finally! The long awaited rain poured hard today. In fact, until now. It’s 2:17 AM from where I am and I love the sound of the raindrops on the rooftop. And the cool weather… loves it! Happy Sunday everyone! To the people of Manila… Enjoy the bed weather
Crick in the neck
I always get a crick in the neck when I get lost in a tv program, watching tv while lying down. Sometimes, I get so lazy I would lie down while watching tv or reading a book. I asked my dad to adjust the tv stands of our tv sets so that when the family [...]
Rehab to a better life
I overheard my dad talking to a neighbor about his son’s drug addiction. I was surprised since this is a family that is really close. I know that the parents are very caring. Disciplines their kids but always in a positive way. I know so because I am friends with one of their kids. I [...]
Exercise routine
My neighbor moved one of their ellipticals out of the house and into their garage. We were wondering why they did that. They have a fourth floor where they exercise regularly. It became clear what their intent was this morning. I woke up due to a blaring radio. The teenage daughter wanted to do her [...]
Start-up
My aunt just opened her own recruitment company. She asked my help with setting up her business. I have an extensive experience with start-up companies and she knows that. I was able to secure local permits for her already. I am still in the process of securing licenses and other important legal documents. Right now, [...]
Battle with the bulge
My sister and I love watching any show in the Discovery Home & Health channel of cable tv. There is a show there about obesity and the people who forgot to take care of themselves. Most are over 300 pounds in weight! Whenever we get to watch this show, we always feel this compelling force [...]
Cup of coffee for workout
I was a regular of a well-known gym here in the city two years ago. The gym offers first class facilities and service. I loved the cinema room where a number of treadmills and other cardio-exercise equipments are located. I think I’ve watched a number of movies while I was a member of the fitness [...]
Grieving
When every one left already and you and your family are now alone to grieve privately, that’s when you feel the impact of losing a loved one. During the wake, when people drop by in droves, you won’t feel it yet. It’s like one big party where the guest of honor is upstairs, not ready [...]
How to budget your money
I know that most of us are living from paycheck to paycheck. I was once like that. One of my sisters still live like that. I want to be able to teach her how to budget her money the way I did in the past. I want all of us to be debt free and [...]

Extravagant party
My sister attended a birthday party of one of her students. This is the same student that she’s been telling us about almost every day. The student is ultra rich and the family throws away money like they have deep well of cash at the back of their house. On that birthday party, the giveaway [...]
Sale!
Just like a pup wagging its tail when it smells food, my friend jumps up and down like she won the lottery whenever she hears the word sale. Believe me, you will see her eyes sparkle, her smile widen, and her face glow. Shopping is her passion. She can spend hours doing online shopping much [...]
Criticisms
I saw my aunt last night at the wake of a relative. As usual, when we see each other, we would criticize each others’ body sizes! If there is one person from whom I can take criticisms about my weight, that would be my aunt. She told me about the phenphedrine reviews that she read [...]
Backpacking trip
It’s great to finally go out of the office even for a while. I know how that feels that’s why I can relate to my friend’s predicament. She’s been working non-stop for the past five years, declining offers of vacations because she wanted to save enough money to go on a European backpacking trip. I [...]
