Cut to the chase
I hate red tape anywhere. I’ve always believed that time is wasted when you go through this myriad of processes being implemented in government agencies when you can cut to the chase and go directly to the heart of the matter. A 5-part processing system can actually become 2 or 3 when you really think [...]
Personal time: Prayer or poem
Write down a favorite prayer or poem on a small piece of paper. This way you can bring it wherever you go – like in your wallet or filofax. Bring it out often, say it, read it to yourself, share it with others. I am choosing from the many poems and prayers that I like. [...]
Our old store
We live in an area in the city where car accessories abound. It was no surprise then that my parents opened a car accessories store when we were still kids. It was our primary source of income until I was in college. It is therefore only natural that I know a lot about ford accessories [...]

Loses control
My dad, when in the company of my uncles, loses control over himself. He’d drink and lie about it even when he’s clearly intoxicated. He’d tell everyone within a 5-mile radius about what’s happening in our family. He’d even tell everyone about the state of our finances. I get totally angry with him when he’s [...]
Condescending lecture
Someone called the telecom company I am subscribed to and that person reported that our landline needs to be repaired. A technician came and told us about the call. Of course, I was surprised. I didn’t call. My dad didn’t call the company. No one in the family called. When the technician came, I am [...]
Get the receipt
Giving out receipts is mandatory. I don’t know why some establishments just let the receipt printer capture the piece of paper and the customer will just get the items. I always ask for receipts. So that when I have to return or exchange an item I bought, I have proof of purchase. Based on experience, [...]
Easy to please
I am easy to please. My siblings know that. And they know it will only take delicious food to make me happy. Hahaha! So last night my sister brought home some food for me. I was instantly overjoyed! I ate a portion of what she brought home. It sustained me until the early morning hours [...]
For the cute little girl
I saw Zenni Optical on TV!!! It made me think of the cute little girl at the ancestral house always waiting for me to give her something as pasalubong. An $ 8 Rx eyeglasses is not your typical gift but then when you are nearsighted like the cute little girl, this is a great gift [...]

Seat covers
My sister and I were talking about having seat covers custom made for our sofa set. I bought our sofa set two years ago. It’s now a bit dirty and before it really becomes the color of dirt, I thought I might as well get some covers done for it. I got the idea when [...]

A little cousin is born to the family a month ago. We are all thrilled to welcome him and as a way of telling him hi, I am giving him a 12 piece 100% Cotton Nursery Dragonfly Baby Crib Bedding Set from Baby Bedding Palace. Personally, I can sleep better with soft bedding. So I [...]

One of the rooms in the house that I like the most is the kitchen. I make sure that it is always clean and has enough supplies. One of the things I regularly buy for the kitchen are kitchen rugs. I don’t like stepping on something sticky or gooey. Of course, I don’t want a [...]

You need not be overweight to exercise. Everyone should do it regularly. For health reasons, for the most part. I have been remiss in doing my regular exercises but will be doing it once again. I hate being sluggish all the time and I know that the lack of energy is not only coming from [...]
