F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
I think it’s perfectly safe to say that the hit US TV series FRIENDS made drinking coffee a fab habit! Remember Central Perk? A group of young professionals would converge in a cafe and would talk about their lives while drinking big cups of coffee. And then it caught on. Now drinking coffee with friends [...]
Fixated on a new laptop
My sister has a thing for touch screen laptops. Ever since she saw one owned by her friend, she hasn’t stopped talking about it. She has her savings to get one but it’s already allotted for something important that she needs. She’s now allotting her next two paychecks for the laptop. On the other hand, [...]
Good skin
Not all of us are born with good skin. Most of us are actually besieged by skin problems from the moment we enter our teens. My siblings and I are lucky that we got my mom’s good genes. We may not really have perfectly porcelain smooth skins but we didn’t experience acne-filled teenage years. For [...]
The great outdoors
What’s your favorite place to enjoy the great outdoors? I am not much of an outdoor person but I love being in the province for a brief stay. I get withdrawal syndrome from being away from technology but I love the fresh air and the peaceful feeling when I am away from the city. I [...]
Overwhelming need
There is an overwhelming need for me to go get the top fat burners out there. Do you know why? It’s because I also have this overwhelming need to lose weight! Seriously. I am talking to my sister about this the other night and we both think that our lives would kick off once we [...]
My perennial problem
Let me tell you one of my perennial problems is finding a plus size lingerie here in city stores. There are a handful of them in the business and they price their items extremely high! I keep ranting about the fact that there is a large market for plus size clothing and undergarment items in [...]
Easy business
The easiest way to start a business these days is to get a franchise. Normally when you get one, the company will provide everything you will need to jump start the business: a good location, starting supplies, manpower. They will even train your personnel for you if you want to. I know because I used [...]
Chicken or egg?
Which came first: the chicken or the egg? This is one question that never fails to crack me up. It reminds me of Philosophy 101 in college. The professor asked us the same question. I was one of the students called to give an answer. I answered chicken. I am a Catholic and in our [...]
Harm others
There are so many people out there who have nothing better to do than try to harm others. Have you heard of electronic pickpocketing? Oh yes, there’s one! Pickpocketing is not only confined to the traditional one wherein someone will take something valuable from you when your back is turned. Now, these bad people have [...]
Claiming what’s theirs
Processing a disability insurance claims can be quite tedious. And that’s for a normal person like you and me. What more for a disabled person who badly needs the claims proceeds for whatever person will serve him/her? I am sure it will be doubly hard. But, of course, if it’s the only money they are [...]
Personal time
Sometimes I get stuck in a rut. I find it so darn hard to get out of it. It takes a while for me but I somehow manage to do it time and time again. Lately, I realized that there’s a quick fix to all of these… a massage! It is the quickest way for [...]
Contemplate
There are times when all we need is to stop with whatever we are doing, go to a quiet place, even a corner will do, and contemplate. We need it to stop the spill over of whatever it is inside our minds. We need it to organize our ideas, to listen to that nagging thought, [...]
