Careless

March 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Waaahhh! I bumped my head while getting out of the tricycle early this morning. Not only did I bump my head, I scraped it as well because the metal was a little bit rough. I surreptitiously massaged it as I was walking away from the trike. Until now my head still tingles. […]

Last Thursday I had another airport misadventure. My boss and I arrived at Tacloban airport just as they were making a last call for PAL passengers. I hurried inside with our tickets leaving my boss with the bags. An airport stevedore was urged me on and pointed me to line up at […]

Summer and Beaches

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Summer is here once again and for me, summer is synonymous to beaches. No summer is ever complete without at least one trip to the beach. Good thing there are a lot of beaches around the country. It would be great if I can combine my love of beaches with my love […]

Sticks and Stocks

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Playing in financial markets seems exciting and interesting but unfortunately, I’m not really interested in market forces and keeping abreast of business news. I just thought investing in blue chip stocks would be an easier option because you won’t have to always worry about your money. Unfortunately, I don’t have money to invest […]

Moving

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

When my family moved to our new house, we had a hard time moving our stuff. Good thing we had friends to help us. Our ex-neighbor who owns a hardware store loaned us his truck for one afternoon and my brother’s friends helped carry our things. They may not have been as […]

Clothing

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m fond of reading romance novels, particularly historical romances set in Regency England that feature sassy and adventurous heroines. I try to picture out how these women can manage to get in and out of trouble when just thinking of how they dress, long flounced gown with tight corset, makes me wonder how they […]

Horseback riding

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments

When I was young I always wanted to learn how to ride a horse. It was something I read about in books and it seemed such an interesting hobby. The first time I rode a horse was in Baguio. It was easy to stay in the saddle because the horse was very […]

Slip Resistant

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments

My grandmother told me that her niece advised her to buy sandals, which had soles that are slip resistant, like Dansko. As you grow older, your sense of balance lessens. It is not advisable to wear high heels anymore. Also, there are sandals with soles that are not slip resistant, making it […]

Sad life

March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

I remembered when we still lived in our previous neighborhood we had a neighbor who was a drug addict. Of course I did not see him use drugs or anything but you hear whispers and rumors. It’s so sad when people become addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. He was a nice […]

Empty Street

March 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

It was past 12 midnight when the Easter Vigil Mass was finished. There was no jeepney in sight so we decided to ride the tricycle on our way home. The street was empty and the tricycle was swift. It was wonderful to feel the wind in my face with what felt like […]
